Increase lady's mantle: division and sowing
A single plant has passed the test and now is a whole bed of lady's mantle to emerge? In addition to buying new plants, there are more cost-effective methods. Here are the best propagation methods at a glance.
The most proven method: splitting the rootstock
The easiest way is to multiply the lady's mantle by dividing its rootstock. This vegetative propagation should be best done in the spring, when the plant has not been freshly expelled.
Here's how to do it:
Self-sowing - Now the lady's mantle takes over the direction
Those who prefer to leave the reproduction to nature can trust the lady's mantle. He likes to multiply by self-sowing. If its withered inflorescences are not removed after its flowering period, seeds are quickly formed. These are spread by the wind in the garden and begin to germinate next spring.
Wanted sowing: how it works!
Anyone who wants to take the sowing into their own hands, can prefer the seeds of the women's coat at home or sow directly. Note that they need to experience a cold spell to wake up from their sleep.
Either you wait until spring and then read the seeds or you take the seeds and put them over the winter, for example, on the balcony or for several days in the freezer. Provided you want to germinate the seeds at home. For direct sowing, the seeds can be sown in the field between October and January.
The seeds are light germs and should not or subtly be covered with soil. After sowing, the soil is kept moist. After two to three weeks, the cotyledons can be seen ... Once the plantlets have reached a size of 5 cm, they can be pikiert and / or relocated. The optimal location is partially shaded and has a humus rich clay soil.
Tips & Tricks
Who wants to avoid that the lady's mantle spreads over self-sowing everywhere in the garden, should cut off the inflorescences after withering. Thus, the seed formation is prevented.
