Product description :

Kohia is also referred to as summer cypress, broom grass, prutnyak. It looks like a beautiful shrub with a lush crown. This ornamental plant acquires its appearance at the beginning of summer and does not lose it until the first frost. In summer, kohia has a dark green coloring. In the autumn season, it changes to red, yellow or orange. The leaves of such vegetation are thin and soft, there are no petioles on them. They feel very similar to the needles of cypresses.

Kohia is quite tightly fixed in the soil, its root system can reach a length of up to 3 meters. It is distinguished by strong and well-developed roots, which help it to endure drought. The stem of the plant is lignified.

This plant is grown both as an annual and as a perennial. Such fluffy vegetation can decorate any plot.

Cochia volosolistnaya(K. Scoparia var. Trichophylla) was created by careful selection and introduced into garden culture in the 17th century. It is an annual strongly branched shrub, reaching a height of 1 m and a width of 50-70 cm. The leaves are narrow, elegant, densely cover the entire plant, hiding small, having the appearance of green balls, like a quinoa, flowers. This variety is sometimes called red kohia, because its foliage, pale green in summer, is painted in bright red, burgundy or pinkish tones by autumn, which gives the autumn garden an exceptional decorative effect. The main advantage of the culture is the beautiful shape of the bush, regular, elongated—oval, easy to cut.

Instructions for planting and care:

This plant can be bought ready-made in the store, or you can grow it at home from seeds. Planting material is simply laid out in the open ground. In order for vegetation to take root, good warm weather is necessary. If you want the seeds to germinate faster, then it is better to pre-process them with special growth stimulants.

You can grow seedlings. In this case, you need to purchase high-quality grains. Also, special peat pots or plastic boxes are prepared in advance. Directly in the prepared containers, a soil mixture is made. To do this, take some land from the site, mix it with peat and sand. Also, some organic fertilizers should be added there.

Remember that kohia is considered an absolutely unpretentious garden crop, so you can sow the material in almost any soil. But it is important that the soil is neutral in its composition. Further, small grooves are made in the ground. The seeds are carefully laid out in the ground. All this is moistened with a spray gun. The material together with the containers is covered with cellophane. It is not necessary to tamper the ground, as it should be light and loose to allow moisture to pass through. Boxes with seedlings should be placed in a room where the air temperature is at least 20 degrees celsius.

At the same time, they are not recommended to be placed next to heating equipment, as well as on window sills on the sunny side.

After disembarking, you need to water the soil daily with a spray gun. Do it twice (morning and evening). The garden culture comes up after 7-10 days. When the first shoots are formed, the cellophane is carefully removed. After a short time, the plants are planted in separate peat pots. Remember that kohia loves light, but at the same time does not tolerate extreme heat, so these containers should also be placed in bright rooms, if necessary, special phytolamps are used. In order for the sprouts not to become sharply weak, light should fall on the vegetation for at least 12 hours a day. In this case, photosynthesis will take place without delay.

Be sure to inspect the seedlings. Due to excessive watering, black spots may appear on it. Such instances should be removed immediately. At the same time, clean sand or sawdust is laid out on the soil.

As a preventive measure, it is recommended to add a little manganese or top dressing to the water for watering, which prevent the formation of fungus. Watering should be done only at the root. When the seedlings get stronger and young healthy leaves appear on it, it is transplanted into the open ground. You need to choose a suitable place for this in advance. Remember that kohiya does not like shade and waterlogging. For this ornamental plant, open and well-lit areas will be the best option. Most often, planting in the soil is carried out in late March and early April. Shrubs should be planted at a distance of 40-45 centimeters from each other. There should be a lot of free space around each seedling so that they can grow.

The bush can be planted in flower beds according to the same scheme. At the same time, they must be large in size so that the plant grows.

Care during cultivation

In order for the kohia to grow and acquire a decorative appearance, special care will be required.

Conditions

Kohia will be able to fully develop only in well-lit areas. It is permissible to plant it in partial shade, but then the plants will grow looser and slightly elongated. Kohia should not be grown near groundwater, as this will lead to rapid rotting of the root system and further death of the plant.

The best option for such decorative vegetation is loose soils that allow moisture and air to pass well. In this case, the acidity should be low or neutral. Throughout the season, it is necessary to remove all weeds around in a timely manner. It is important to loosen the soil regularly.

Watering

Kohia is considered a drought-resistant garden crop. It should be watered moderately. The upper layer of the earth should not be allowed to dry out. A larger amount of liquid will be needed by the plant during rooting, as well as in hot weather. This procedure is recommended to be performed in the evening or in the morning to avoid the appearance of burns on the foliage. The ground around the bushes after watering is better to loosen well.

Top dressing

10-12 days after planting the seedlings, it needs to be fed. In the summer season, fertilizers are used once every 14 days. To do this, it is better to take complex mineral compositions that contain nitrogen, potassium chloride and superphosphate.

It is important to alternate root and foliar fertilizing. Homemade herbal tinctures will also be an excellent option. They can be made from different weeds. With proper use of fertilizer, the leaf blades will be a rich green color.

Transfer

If necessary, the cochia can be transplanted to another place. In this case, the plant is dug up with a lump of earth, its shoots need to be shortened a little. After that, the kohia is planted on another site, immediately watered.

Remember that it is impractical to transplant vegetation for growing at home in pots. She prefers a lot of free space, it will be too cramped in the container.

Pruning

Kohia will easily tolerate pruning. It can be given a variety of shapes. To get the most lush appearance, you need to pinch the tops of the shoots. Young bushes should be trimmed in June. 1-2 such procedures should be carried out in a month. After the haircut, kohia is fed with ammonium nitrate, this will help her recover easily.

There are several options for forming a bush during pruning.

Ball. First, it is better to give the appearance of a cube to the cochii, then it is gradually cut, giving a spherical shape.

Column or cylinder. Before pruning, slats are installed around the perimeter. They will become a framework. During operation, make sure that they are in a strictly vertical position.

The cone. To make such a shape, it is necessary to draw a circle around the kohia, then a frame of rails fixed at the top is fixed along its contours. In the process of pruning, it is necessary to gradually move from the top to the base of the cone.

The spiral. Creating such a form will take a lot of time. At the same time, the work is carried out in two stages. On the first bush, they give an even cone-shaped shape. Then a rope is fixed on the lower part of the central stem, it is wrapped around the trunk to the upper part. At the second stage, the rope is attached to the top, using a pruner to create a spiral shape. After that, rounded twigs are made with the help of special garden scissors.

Square. This form is often used for bushes that run along the paths on the site. It can be formed with a simple pruner.

Wintering

Annual species live on the street for only one season. In autumn, before the onset of frost, vegetation is necessarily removed from flower beds. Perennial varieties need to be prepared for winter. Otherwise, they will start to freeze out and simply die. Kohia is covered with a special protective material. Previously, it is necessary to shorten the shoots a little. In the spring, the covering material is carefully removed.

Reproduction

Propagate such ornamental bushes by sowing seeds. As a rule, their germination is excellent. At the same time, there are three main methods of seeding:

in a container for seedlings;

into the open ground;

self-sown shoots.
