Levkoy (matthiola) is a beautiful annual plant that is grown not only in open ground, but also at home.
What does matthiola smell like
A special feature of white bush matthiola is its delicate, slightly sweet aroma, which resembles the smell of honey.
Planting matthiola in open ground
Light places with rich and neutral acidity soil are well suited for gillyflower.
They begin to prepare the site in the fall, dig up the soil to a depth of 40 cm and add compost.
Matthiola is planted in open ground either in mid-spring or in November.
How and when to sow Matthiola
Matthiola is planted in open ground either in mid-spring or in November.
There are two ways to do this: make shallow holes in the soil, put 3-5 seeds in them and sprinkle them with sand, or mix the seeds with sand, distribute them over the surface of the soil and lightly compact them with earth.
Do I need to prune Matthiola
Since mathiola stems actively secrete mucus, it is recommended to trim the stems daily, change the water and wash the vase thoroughly.
How to water Matiola
Matthiols prefer moist soil, so during dry periods we water it more often than usual.
We water regularly, but not too much, so as not to overwater them, as they can rot.
