Growing diligent Lieschen yourself

Since every winter of plants in the house requires a certain amount of space and effort, many gardeners buy new industrious lizards each year for the one-year-old culture. But it is also relatively easy to multiply the perennial flowering Impatiens walleriana itself.

Collect Seeds of the Hardy Lieschen and keep them properly

The diligent Lieschen is not free colloquially referred to as balsam: The seeds shaped like a candle flame develop after the blooming of individual flowers ever larger, until they finally explode at the slightest touch downright. In order to be able to harvest all seeds from these sensitive seed capsules, a special technique is necessary. To do this, close your hand as completely as possible around a seed pod, before you trigger its "whirling effect" by a gentle pressure. Then dry the seeds flat, before storing them in a screw-top jar until dry and dark in the spring.

So you can pull your industrious Lieschen itself from seeds

The cultivation of industrious Lieschen from seeds is relatively simple and due to the toxicological safety of these plants on the windowsill without hesitation possible. For seedling seedlings, the following factors should be considered:

The hard-working Lieschen, which was pulled from March on the window-sill, can be brought up a little more compactly in growth before being planted in the garden or on the balcony after the icy saints, by shortening the top shoot tips once or twice.

The proliferation of industrious Lieschen by cuttings

Since different varieties of hardy Lieschen can intersect strongly with each other, the multiplication of seeds often leads to surprising color mixtures. "Color-fast" offshoot, however, can win over the propagation of cuttings, which can be carried out in parallel or alternatively to the wintering of the mother plants. For this purpose, about 5 to 10 centimeters long head cuttings are placed in seed pots in the fall and rooted in the house at room temperature. As a rule, first roots form after about 3 to 4 weeks.

Tips

The cuttings of your hard-working Lieschen can also be rooted in a glass of water. When transplanting the rooted cuttings into the ground, be careful not to break off the sensitive roots.
