Lupine as a Cultural Plant

A feature of lupines are peduncles, which are long apical brushes, dotted with many flowers. When ripe, the flowers form fruit in the form of swollen beans. After reaching maturity, the beans burst and scatter the seeds. These are very small and light grains. Because of this, the lupine flower has another popular name - wolf beans. In the national economy, fodder species are grown, the value of which is in the presence of nutrient beans and a large amount of green mass.

This same green mass is the reason that many gardeners grow lupine as a siderate. The humus of leaves and stems of the plant becomes an excellent fertilizer for vegetable and fruit crops.

Cultivation of plants from seeds and cuttings

Lupine has been successfully propagated by propagation for many years, but most often a method of growing a crop with the help of seeds is used. Seeds of lupine are harvested as the beans mature and leave until spring. Then there are 2 ways to plant:

  • sowing in the soil;
  • reception of seedlings.

Lupines should be sown in the spring, immediately after the snow falls (in the temperate latitudes, this occurs by the beginning of April) and warming the soil. You can plant in the fall. The place for spring planting should be prepared from autumn. As a rule, plants do not require soil fertilization with manure and nitrogen. But that the lupine seeds are better adopted and actively went into growth, it is necessary to cultivate the soil with the help of a cultivator or a plane cutter.

Seeds are laid out in pre-prepared pits with a step from 5 to 15 cm, depending on the size of the adult plants and are buried to a depth of 3 cm. The distance between the rows should be from 15 to 30 cm. Before sowing, lupine seeds need to be scarified, that is, to break their integrity shell.

  1. Wipe the seed material between sheets of sandpaper.
  2. The effect of the temperature difference. The planting material is placed in a pouch of gauze, momentarily dropped into boiling water, then quickly - into a cold one. The procedure is repeated 1-2 times.

Correctly prepared seeds do not crumble for a long time, but they arise quite amicably.

When cultivating varietal plants, it is necessary to take into account that if it is required to preserve a unique lupine, cultivation from seeds can not be applied. With this method of reproduction, varietal traits are lost.

Here it will be necessary to use cultivation by propagation.

No matter what kind of lupine the planting of cuttings is made only after their rooting. To preserve varietal features, cuttings are cut from adult bushes immediately after the first flowering. They are basal rosettes with 5-6 leaves, developed on the root neck or stem.

The resulting cuttings are planted on a specially prepared bed for rooting. After 30 days (this period is enough for the appearance of rootlets), plants are transferred to a permanent place.

Especially in this need taller species: lupine multilayer, reaching a height of 120 cm, lupine tree, growing to 150 cm.

Flowers of annual lupins are not distinguished by a variety of colors, most often have a blue color or its combination with white, lilac, etc.
