Layering causes a stem to form roots while attached to the mother plant.
Once rooted, stem is detached and planted. It is a good way to get a few large
shrubs and there are several methods. All exclude light from the section of
stem you wish to root. In shrubs that produce many cane like stem from a
crowded base, this is done by burying part of a cane.
Division
this method best suits perennials, bulbs, some orchids and a few small suckering shrubs. Many perennials are not long lived and replacing them with young divisions every 3-4 years ensures lush growth and plenty of flowers. Division is normally carried out during or just after the annual dormancy. Most Beautiful gift baskets philippines can purchase through philippinesflowersdelivery
Around the garden in April
April garden is a real pleasure. Days are fine and sunny without summers oppressive heat and humidity. Weeding is the most pressing task. Get all weeds out now before they set seeds Plant trees, shrubs, bulbs. Virtually anything planted now is almost certain to get off to a good start. The earth it still warm and should remain so for another month, allowing time for roots to become established before the winter sets in. Spring bulbs should be planted this month if you haven’t already done so, in well worked, well drained, rich soil.
Autumn colors
if planting deciduous trees for autumn color, look for them now but do not buy until they show colors. One plant often produces a more spectacular show than another of the same species. In mountainous districts and inland, deciduous trees colors up now but coastal readers may have to wait till May or even June. Unfortunately few trees colors well in higher coastal temperatures except perhaps pistachio, liquidambar, Chinese tallow tree and ginkgo.
Find a place for a cherry tree. Beautiful autumn foliage is followed in spring by a wealth of superb flowers. Prunus serrulata Ukon has large, semi double chartreuse flowers; prunus sieboldii is a smaller tree bearing large, semi double pale pink blossom. Do not overlook the popular Fuji and J.V Vetch cultivars.
In tropical zone
April means a real breathing space for the Gardner. Tending seedlings from March sown seeds starts them well for fine blooms early spring. Plan and lay out new gardens now to avoid summer heat and have your garden semi established by spring. Select short, thick stemmed native plants rather than tall, spindly ones and, if necessary give them a shaping prune when planting.
