What attracts lilacs so much
First of all, undoubtedly, for its beauty and enchanting aroma during flowering. But the most important advantage of this plant is its unpretentiousness. Lilac blooms and smells almost in any conditions, without requiring tremendous attention and care.
With all this, everyone, the bush still has some preferences:
- Care. Lilac care is the pruning and removal of root growth on a regular basis. When carrying out this procedure, remove the weakened branches. Thanks to this, all nutrients will be given to the development of the strongest shoots, the flowering of which will become more abundant and longer.
- A place. Lilac shrubs prefer neutral soils, and germinate better on black soil and loam. They love feeding. The place where you plant the lilacs should be well lit and not be exposed to strong winds. Lilac also reacts poorly to waterlogging; it is not recommended to plant it in the lower reaches and places of abundant precipitation.
Lilac harm from her lovers
Many shrub aficionados believe that it is the breaking of the branches that leads to improved flowering. However, everything is exactly the opposite.
If a bouquet of lilacs is so necessary, it is better to cut, and not break, adhering to the following rules:
- It is best to cut a bouquet of lilacs in the early morning, on a cool or cloudy day. In such conditions, the lilac has the most moisture, which means it will last longer.
- If your goal is to get a wonderful bouquet, choose inflorescences, the buds of which make up a third. This is a real golden mean.
- It is necessary to cut branches with a clean and sharpened pruner, which will not leave crooked cuts.
- At the end of the cut, it is worth removing the lower part of the leaves, and halving the upper part, which will keep your bouquet longer.
- If you pass the lilac through the hardening procedure, putting it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, it will also last longer.
- When selecting inflorescences, it is best to choose branches with a large number of flowers. Begin by choosing unnecessary shoots that you would remove at the time of pruning.
How the lilac broken in a city park or on the street will end for you
Above, it was about lilacs, which you cut on your own site, but if you do this in a park area or on the street, you will be punished.
In the law of Mr. Moscow "On the protection of green spaces" states that any "mechanical damage to the branches, root system, violation the integrity of the bark, violation of the integrity of the living above-ground cover, pollution of green spaces "is offense. From this we conclude that breaking off lilac inflorescences on the street and in parks, we are committing a real crime.
What punishment awaits us? Damage by citizens to green spaces is an administrative offense, for which, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, an administrative fine is imposed in the amount of 3.5 thousand rubles. up to 4 thousand rubles. If improvised mechanisms were used during trimming, the fine increases to 4 thousand. or 4.5 thousand rubles.
Also, the MO Code provides for an analogue article for lands that are not included in the forest fund. An administrative fine in the amount of 300 to 500 rubles for each unit (flower garden, bush, tree, etc.) also follows for such an offense.
Thus, lovers of drawing up bouquets of lilacs are recommended to plant a shrub on their site, using it for the purpose you need.
