Community of green men. Fern nomadic female: planting and care Fern Ursula red care and cultivation

From a botany point of view, Kochedyzhnik belongs to the Shield family along with such ferns as and. You can also read about them on our website.

Kinds

Female

This type of fern grows in forests North America and central Europe. In the spring, fronds appear above the soil surface - green shoots of a peculiar shape, growing, they turn into very beautiful, large, twice or thrice pinnately complex leaves, thin, delicate.

The height of the plant is about 1 meter, the shoots grow from a thick, short rhizome.

Kochedyzhnik prefers garden or forest soils, Tolerates partial shade well, is not afraid of frost and drought. Perennial, grows in one place for more than 10 years.

Used in park and garden design.

Chinese

Chinese or reddish fern came to us from the forests Far East, its fronds have a reddish tint, the leaf is double and triple pinnate, has red petioles, the plant height is also up to a meter.

The fronds grow from a thick rhizome, the plant is undemanding to soil, grows well in garden and forest soil types, does not tolerate waterlogging and drought well, It is resistant to frost, shading does not interfere with its growth.

Decorates shaded areas of gardens and parks. Like all its relatives, it is a perennial.

Nipponian

The Niponsky subspecies is divided into several varieties:

Metallicum Red Beauty

The low fern, 50 centimeters tall, seems small and delicate in comparison with its large relatives, but what an unusually beautiful color it has! Pink-violet fronds in the first days of life turn into a violet-silver, thrice-pinnately dissected leaf, the color of which over time becomes silver with a purple center.

The fronds grow from a brown, thick rhizome with black roots; the plant is unpretentious, winter-hardy, and lives in one place for up to 15 years.

Burgundy Lakes

The plant is up to 60 centimeters, young fronds are the color of red wine; as they grow, they lighten to light pink, and then fade to silver; by autumn, green shades appear.

This variety has no special requirements for soils and living conditions; it can grow in one place for up to 10-15 years, it is shade-loving, but with increasing lighting the colors become brighter, the leaves are three-pinnate, large. His delicate, multi-colored openwork is not for second roles; he deserves more.

Home care

Landing

The Kochedyzhnik fern should be planted in the spring. For propagation, parts of the bush are used, the soil is dug up, and no a large number of humus and wood ash, mix thoroughly. The depth and diameter of the planting hole depends on the size of the seedling; after planting, Kochedyzhnik is watered abundantly and the soil is mulched.

Care

The first year after planting, water the plant as needed, weed, loosen the soil, but From the second year of life, the plant needs only rare watering in case of drought.

Weeds do not grow under the leaves themselves, and shading plays a role; there are not so many shade-tolerant plants.

But it should be noted that as it grows, spores ripen on the underside of the leaves, self-seeding occurs, and it is very important not to confuse the delicate curls of Kochedyzhnik with weeds.

Self-seeding allows the plant to conquer large areas of parks, introducing an element of primordial nature into their appearance. This is not to say that the plant is very whimsical.

Top dressing

Ferns do not need feeding, garden and forest soils are fertile enough for the plant.

Preparing for winter

Fern tolerates severe frosts well, Before going under the snow, yellowed and withered frond leaves need to be cut off, and the soil should be mulched to 15 centimeters. But in very harsh climatic conditions, it can be covered with foliage. but his appearance is so remarkable that this quality was enough to gain worldwide fame.

IN last years The streets of our cities and settlements have changed noticeably, well-groomed lawns, flower beds, and flower beds have appeared, parks are being developed, and the profession of landscape designer has become popular.

This means that our nomad has a good future, and amateur gardeners will not ignore this wonderful gift of nature.

In the USA they call it Japanese painted fern. This species is native to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and China and has gained particular popularity for its highly decorative leaves with a metallic sheen and red-purple tones on and around the stem. Winter-hardy (zone 3).

Like all ferns, Athyrium niponicum prefers to grow in the shade, but for its reddish colors to appear, the plant must receive a little sun - it is better if it is the morning rays before noon. Fern loves loose, humus-rich, acidic soil (pH 5) and plenty of moisture. When planted in soil rich in organic matter, the fern does not need to be fertilized, but on poor soils, a third or half of the norm used for perennials is sufficient. Adult plants reproduce by root suckers, which are best separated in mid-May or September. When propagated by spores, varietal characteristics are lost. In many American catalogs, varieties of this fern are given zone 5 (less often 4), but over 10 years of cultivation in a garden near Moscow, not a single plant was lost, and some varieties survived the cold winter of 2002-03 without shelter (one magazine indicated the minimum temperature for this species is -31C).

The variety "is popular in culture" pictum"with an unusual leaf color, where silver-gray and pinkish coloring can be seen against a bluish-green background, especially along the veins. The color is best seen in light partial shade. Often distributed under the commercial name " Metallica". Winter-hardy in the Moscow region.

"Ursulas Red"(Athyrium nip. pictum "Ursula"s Red"). Breeder Ursula Herz. Young shoots of this fern open light green with a reddish bloom around the center and lighter yellowish-silver edges, which very quickly lighten to a silvery white color, and the central part is the opposite darkens to an ominous red-green or even red-purple-green! Fantastic color and contrast. The variety is twice the size of the original species, with durable leaves that form a beautiful vase shape.

"Burgundy Lace"(Athyrium nip. pictum "Burgundy Lace"). The young shoots of this fern are almost entirely burgundy-red, but gradually, starting from the edges, the color changes first to light pink and then light silver, which leaves only the central part for the burgundy color; in autumn, greenish shades appear in the color; perhaps this is the most contrasting variety of all received at the beginning of 2004; Burgundy Lace" is twice the size of the original
species and is noticeably ahead of it in terms of growth rate.

A genus of ferns belonging to the shield family. It includes about 200 species; only 10 are used in gardening.

These relict plants are distinguished by their delicate openwork, finely dissected greenery, collected in a spreading bunch up to 1-1.5 meters high.

It grows directly from a short thick rhizome covered with brown membranous hairs.

Sporangia of the nomadic plant are hidden behind a fringed covering on the underside of leaf fronds. The plant often self-sows, but grows slowly.

Garden forms

The most common species found in Russian gardens is female kochedyzhnik (photo 1). It received this name for its beautiful, light, lace-like greenery. New fronds appear all summer, so the plant does not lose its decorative appearance all season long with proper care and has a distinct tropical appearance.

It got its name in contrast to the male shield, whose “clothing” is coarser, and the fronds grow only in the spring. In nature, these two ferns often coexist.

Chinese kochedednik is distinguished by reddish elliptical petioles; it is widespread in nature in the Far East, China, and Japan.

Nippon kochedyzhnik (photo 2) is characterized by red-brown stains on the fronds with a metallic sheen. They look impressive against the background of greenery of other plants, including green ferns.

Growing and care

In nature, these perennials grow in moist, shaded forest areas. They need fertile soil, regular watering and shaded, wind-protected areas of the garden. During periods of drought, the leaves of the kochedednik plant turn brown, it loses its decorative appearance, but does not die, therefore it is considered drought-resistant. Can grow in one place for up to 10 years. They need regular weeding, they absolutely cannot tolerate sodding of the soil, so aggressive ground covers (, etc.) cannot be planted next to them.

Feed should be both organic and mineral fertilizers during the growing season. Vayi are dropped for the winter, but they do not die and do not even require shelter.

They reproduce by dividing the bush in the spring or by spores, which ripen by mid-summer, fall onto the soil surface and often lead to new shoots, i.e. self-seeding is characteristic of the nomadic plant.

Use in landscape design

All ferns give the garden some special chic and splendor. They are planted in shady corners, near grottoes and fountains, under coniferous trees. Nomads can be placed in a group among other species that contrast with them in color or frond shape. The result will be a kind of fern garden, which is perceived as a piece of wild nature among other plantings, and will also occupy shady places where few plants are able to maintain a magnificent appearance.

When planning landscape design, every gardener thinks through everything down to the smallest detail in the arrangement of certain ornamental plants, taking into account the peculiarities of growing each crop. A slight problem is caused by shaded areas, where it is difficult to grow bright flowering crops, but ferns will feel great in the shade and in the northern half of the garden. These perennials You can easily grow them under the shade of trees or in the shade of buildings, without worrying at all about their health and appearance.

The nomadic fern variety is also a frequent visitor to gardens, striking with its rather unusual leaf colors and a wide variety of subspecies and varieties. Kochedednik, which is easy to grow and care for in open ground, will be an excellent addition to any garden composition.

In order to properly place the nomadic plant on your plot and grow it, in this article we will consider the features and description of this crop, and give characteristics of the most popular varieties of nomad. We also note important points and rules for planting and caring for this type of fern.

Features and morphological description of the nomad

In recent years, the nomadic fern has been quite often used for growing in the garden, for which you can choose a couple of dozen popular varieties of this subspecies of fern. It is perfect for planting as a background flowering plants or as a soloist ornamental plant in a little shade. The kochedyzhnik perfectly adapts to adverse conditions, therefore it will become a valuable discovery for many gardeners.

The nomadic fern is a perennial herbaceous plant, which belongs to the Aspleniaceae family and the Shchitovnikov genus, although more recently the nomadic fern belonged to the Kochedyzhnikov genus. The nomadic fern is considered the oldest representative of its family and is found almost all over the world. The natural habitat of this type of fern is considered to be shady and damp areas, forests and coastal areas of water bodies, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Various varieties of nomadic fern grow in areas with a temperate climate, less often in the highlands of the tropics. This ornamental plant can be found in Europe, Asia, Russia, and America.

Many gardeners and lovers of unusual ornamental plants are puzzled by the specific name of this variety of fern. But there is nothing strange here. The word "kochedyzhnik" is directly related to external characteristics fern. If you tear off a leaf of the nomadic fern at the beginning of autumn, you will see a kind of point in the place where the leaf is attached to the base. This point outwardly resembles a curved and crooked arrow. This form is very reminiscent of ancient instrument, which peasants used to weave bast shoes. And this instrument was called kochedyk. Hence the name of the fern variety.

Everyone knows the legend that if you see a blooming nomadic fern on the night of Ivan Kupala, you will be happy and rich all your life.

Types and varieties of nomadic grass

The entire genus of Kochedyzhnik ferns has a large number of different varieties, which differ in completely different external characteristics and cultivation characteristics. In total, there are approximately 200 varieties of nomadic fern in the world, but only 10 are used in cultivation in Russia. More tropical varieties of this plant species can be grown at home.

Let's consider the characteristics of the most popular types and varieties of nomad grass among gardeners:

• Female Kochedyzhnik. This is one of the most common types of nomad grass, which can be found both in nature and in culture. This fern got its name for its beautiful lacy foliage, which is significantly different from the foliage of the male shield fern. In nature, the female nomad grows in North America, as well as in middle lane Europe. After germination, frond leaves quickly grow and can reach a length of about 100 cm, and the total height of a fern of this species can reach 120-130 cm. The leaves have an oblong lanceolate shape, three or twice pinnately dissected, light green, collected in dense rosette. The rhizome of the female nomadic fern is quite often used in folk medicine.

• Nippon Kochedyzhnik. Another fairly popular look. The Nippon nomadic fern is widespread in Japan, China, Vietnam, and Korea. That is why in the USA this beautiful ornamental plant is often called Japanese painted fern. Considered the most decorative look nomadic fern due to its bright and spectacular fronds: they have a silvery tint with reddish-purple streaks. This plant prefers to grow in the shade on moist soils. Nippon kochedynik is winter-hardy, so it feels great in the climatic conditions of Russia.

• Kochedychnik crenate. A perennial fern that prefers to grow in river valleys, on the banks of reservoirs, in damp and swampy forests. It is considered a rather low-growing plant; it can grow only 50 cm in height. It is distinguished by a long creeping rhizome and a short stem on which the fronds are located singly or in groups of 2-3 pieces. The leaf blade has an oblong ovoid shape, pinnately dissected, and a light green hue.
• Nomadic gorodchaty-serrated. The natural habitat of this type of fern is considered to be the territory of the Far East and Primorye, where it grows in damp forests and along the banks of rivers and lakes. The frond leaves reach approximately 60-70 cm in length, due to which the width of the leaf blade often exceeds its length. The leaves are very delicate and beautiful. The variety is winter hardy.
• Needle-shaped kochedednik. The natural habitat of this species of nomad is considered to be the territory of the Far East. Ferns form rather dense and dense thickets in forests, which prefer shade and high humidity. The fern reaches a height of approximately 30-40 cm. The leaf blades of the fronds are diamond-shaped, openwork, pinnately divided, and arranged vertically. In this species, the petiole is longer than the leaf plate itself.
• Chinese kochedyzhnik or red-stalked. This type of fern is widespread in the Far East and Primorye. Forms dense and dense thickets, reproduces well by self-sowing. The leaves form a rosette. The fronds have a reddish tint, they themselves are openwork and quite large, attached to the stem with the help of short dark red petioles.

Popular varieties of nomad:

• Nomad variety "Piktum". A very bright and spectacular variety of kochedyzhnik, which is distinguished by its particularly decorative foliage. The leaf blade has a general bluish-green tint, which is diluted along the veins with a gray or pinkish color. The color is much brighter in the sun. For commercial purposes, this variety of nomadic plant is often called Metallicum.

• Nomad variety "Ursulas Red". Also very beautiful variety kochedyzhnik, which will become a real decoration of the site. It got its name in honor of the breeder scientist who bred it - Ursula Herz. This variety can be called red nodule, since the central part of the wai has a bright reddish tint, while the edges of the leaf plate are painted in a light green tone. Over time, the edges become silvery, and the central part of a rich reddish-violet-green hue.
• Burgundy Lace variety. A rather large and spectacular variety that strikes with the contrast of shades in its foliage. At the very beginning of the growing season, young leaves are completely painted in a reddish-wine color, gradually the color begins to change along the edges, becoming bluish or silvery. At the end, only the central part becomes reddish.
• Okanum cultivar. In height, the bush of this fern can reach about 30-60 cm. The vayi leaves have a greenish-reddish tint. When blooming, young fronds have a bright burgundy color, gradually becoming yellow with burgundy petioles.

Reproduction of the nomad: the most common methods

The nodule fern is considered a rather unpretentious plant, for the cultivation of which on your site you do not need to make any additional efforts. Dilute it unusual plant You can do it yourself on your own site. For many methods of reproduction it is important to have mature plant in the garden, which provides planting material for propagation. The nodule fern can be propagated in several ways: by spores and division of rhizomes. Consider the features of using these two options for breeding an ornamental plant with your own hands.

Reproduction of the nomad by spores

• On the leaves-fronds of the nomadic fern, spores ripen on the outside, which can disperse independently, which promotes natural reproduction. This type of propagation is used mainly for species-specific nomads, much less often for varietal ones. This is due to the fact that the resulting plant may not inherit the maternal varietal characteristics.
• You can sow spores both in spring and at any other time of the year.
• Initially, it is necessary to collect mature spores of the nodule. To do this, take a fern frond and carefully scrape off the spores from the back side.
• Next, all spores must be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate, after which they are dried.
• It is necessary to prepare suitable containers for sowing spores. In this case, small glasses are suitable.
• The containers are filled with fertile soil; a mixture of peat and sand is ideal. The pre-prepared substrate must be shed with boiled water or the soil must be calcined in the oven. You can shed the substrate with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
• Next, soil is poured into the container, on the surface of which the spores of the nomadic plant are laid out. There is no need to sprinkle them with soil; just cover the pots or containers with film or glass.
• It is important to place containers with spores in a room with the required temperature - a temperature of 23-25 ​​degrees is suitable for the germination of nomadic grass.
• At first, watering the spores is not necessary. Only when the diameter of one spore is approximately 5 cm can you water warm water once a week.
• If the disputes are located very close, you can make a pick.
• When the first leaves appear, you need to water a little more often. When the leaves reach approximately 7-8 cm in length, the cover from the containers begins to be temporarily removed for ventilation, doing this procedure more and more often.
• The next season, around May, nocturnal fern seedlings can be planted in open ground.

Reproduction of the nomad by division

• This method is used much more often and is more simple and easy than the previous one. Vegetative propagation Kochededzhnik is used to produce young plants of varietal ferns. Thus, they will not lose the maternal decorative characteristics, for example, the reddish tint of the leaves.
• It is recommended to propagate the plant by dividing the rhizome in the spring, but if this option is not possible, you can divide the plant at any other time. However, in this case there is a risk that the young plants will not have time to take root before the onset of cold weather.
• First of all, you need to carefully dig up an adult plant and lightly shake off the roots.
• Next, take a sharp pruner or knife and carefully divide the rhizome into several parts so that each section has its own bud.
• If the roots of a particular variety are short, you can use nodes with buds.
• After this, the prepared cuttings are planted in pre-prepared holes, the depth of which should be at least 20 cm.
• The soil needs to be mulched and covered with spruce branches for the winter, as young plants can freeze out.

Preparation before planting the nomad

As already noted, the nomadic fern is very popular among gardeners due to its unpretentiousness in cultivation and care, as well as its great decorative value. Even novice gardeners can grow a nomadic plant, but for excellent results it is important to carefully prepare before planting, having done high-quality work in preparing the place for planting seedlings and in acquiring healthy planting material.

Stage 1. Selection and purchase of nomad seedlings

• First of all, it is necessary to obtain high-quality planting material. You can grow it yourself, as described in the previous chapter. In another case, you can buy kochedizhnik in specialized garden stores.
• In garden centers and agricultural companies you can purchase already collected spores of the nomadic fern in bags or ready-made seedlings in pots.
• Before purchasing seedlings, you definitely need to think about what variety of nomadic grass you want to grow on your site. Varieties with reddish, purple and bluish leaves look impressive, which can also be combined to create bright garden compositions. For open ground You should not buy tropical varieties of kochedyzhnik, which are also on sale. More heat-loving varieties can only be grown indoors.
• Before purchasing planting material, be sure to check the seedlings for damage: there should be no yellow areas on the stems and leaves, the soil in the containers should be clean and moist.
• When purchasing seedlings from agricultural companies, you can get competent and professional advice on the rules for growing plants.
• If nomadic plants grow in forests in your area, then you can get a young seedling by digging up and dividing an adult plant. In this case, be sure to grab some of the soil in which the fern grew.

Stage 2. Choosing a place to plant the nomad

• The nomadic fern prefers to grow in the shade; some varieties can tolerate temporary Sun rays. Constant sun has a detrimental effect on the plant, as a result of which the plant may stop growing and lose its decorative effect.
• To obtain bright foliage color, you can plant the fern in the shade of trees or small shrubs, as well as on the north side of the buildings.
• It is worth choosing a quiet place on your site, as strong winds and drafts can break the fragile leaves of the kochedednik.
• The chosen location for planting this type of fern should be well drained.
• Before planting the nomad, think over the garden composition, since seedlings can be planted on the banks of reservoirs, at the roots of trees, near stones, in the wildest places on the site.

Stage 3. Selection and preparation of soil for nomad grass

• The nomadic fern prefers to grow on fertile and loose soils.
• A prerequisite for planting a nomadic plant is that the soil must be breathable and moisture-permeable.
• The soil must absorb moisture well so that the roots are well nourished. However, the water should not stagnate.
• The soil can be prepared immediately before planting by carefully digging it and loosening it.

Nomad planting technology

• It is best to plant the nomadic plant in the spring, so that the young plant has time to take root before the onset of winter.
• First of all, you need to prepare planting pits, the depth of which should be approximately 20-30 cm. Keep in mind that if you are planting several seedlings side by side, it is important to maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm between the holes.
• Place a layer of river sand at the bottom of each planting hole, which will act as drainage and prevent water from stagnating.
• Next, prepare the soil, which consists of sand and peat. You can add humus and wood ash.
• If you are using a seedling from the forest, add some soil from the forest to the soil.
• Place the seedlings in the planting holes and cover them with prepared soil. Next, gently press the soil down.
• After planting, the young nomad needs to be watered abundantly.
• To prevent excessive evaporation of moisture, the soil around the fern is mulched with peat or humus.

Agricultural technology for growing nomad grass: secrets and nuances of care

Growing nomad grass on your own plot will not be big problems and will not require incredible efforts from the gardener, since this type of fern is unpretentious and undemanding. Caring for this plant is simple and straightforward and consists of timely watering, loosening and weeding, fertilizing and covering for winter.

• Watering. The nomadic fern is a moisture-loving plant, for which it is important to maintain frequent watering for a full-fledged plant. It is necessary to water the kochedyzhnik especially abundantly in the first year after planting and during hot weather. In this case, you need to water not only the root system of the fern, but also spray the fronds. Approximate watering regime: 1-2 times a week, during dry periods - you can water 3 times a week.
• Loosening and mulching. After each watering it is important to loosen upper layer soil, but this must be done carefully, since the roots are located very close to the surface. To prevent moisture from the roots from evaporating too quickly, it is recommended to mulch the surface with pine paws or needles.
• Feeding. If you used humus and peat when planting, then there is no need to additionally fertilize the plantings in the coming years. Then you can use liquid fertilizers to achieve the greatest decorative effect of the nomadic fern.
• Trimming. The nomadic plant does not need pruning. Sometimes you can carefully remove yellowed fronds. Damaged or broken fronds may also need pruning.
• Shelter for the winter. Kochedyzhnik is considered a frost-resistant plant, so there is no need to provide additional shelter. The exception is young plants immediately after planting. In this case, you can cover the plantings with fallen leaves.

Kochedyzhnik - photo

On the Internet you can find a large number of reviews about Kochededzhnik, which describe all the beauty appearance this fern and ease of cultivation. Planting such a plant in the garden is not difficult, but in the end you will get an original and effective decoration for your site.

Nippon nomadic fern is a variety of one of the most attractive ferns that can be grown indoors.

Kochedyzhnik: growing from seeds

Such a plant can be propagated by spores that appear on the lower part of the leaf blade. Sowing is carried out in a moistened peat-sand mixture; after sowing, the containers are covered with film and placed in a warm, shaded place.

Until the first shoots appear, the film will need to be removed every day for a couple of minutes to ventilate and, if necessary, moisten the soil. When the shoots appear, they are carefully removed from separate pots filled with a mixture of peat and leaf soil.

Reproduction of the nomad

More in a simple way Reproduction of this plant is by dividing the bush. In this case, during spring transplantation, the root ball of an adult nomadic plant is divided into several copies, each of which is planted in a separate container with the same soil in which the mother plant grew.

Kochedyzhnik: growth pattern

The fronds of the nomad at home can reach almost half a meter in length. Each of them has an expressive gray stripe that is located along the central vein.

The height of the entire fern can reach 50 cm, while its diameter will be slightly larger.

Kochedyzhnik: care features

Nippon Kochedyzhnik – enough unpretentious plant. The main thing is to provide him with a cool, shaded place. Replanting is required every spring.

From spring to autumn, the fern needs abundant watering, but you should always ensure that moisture does not stagnate in the stand, otherwise the root system may rot. IN winter time Watering should become moderate. Feeding is required once every three weeks of active growth.

Possible problems

Among the most common problems that can arise with such a plant are felt insects and scale insects. To combat such pests, it is necessary to use an insecticidal preparation.
