Growing from seed
Growing Maurandia is a simple but painstaking affair, like any occupation for a gardener. The whole process of planting is the same as that of any other seedlings of flowers, but there are still some nuances.
Seedling
To prepare the seedlings, it is necessary to take the usual store soil, which must be mixed with sand and sod soil equally. 
Flower seeds are quite small, however, when planting between them, it is still necessary to maintain a distance. Some gardeners sprinkle seeds with sand, however, even without this procedure, seedlings are well raised. 
Pots with soil and seeds must be covered with a film, and after 2-3 weeks at a temperature of about + 20 ° C, you can wait for sprouts. After their appearance, it is necessary to remove the film and leave the seedlings open, periodically watering them, but without excess water, because the plant is still very weak, and a black leg may appear at the base of the seedling. 
Location
For this type of plant, a sunny place is preferred, without drafts. If you have decided to disembark asarin in order to decorate the gazebo, then it is important to keep in mind that you will not be able to wrap it around from all sides - you need to choose the most sunny and less exposed to the wind.
The flower has a relatively small root system, so it is necessary to plant it is not very deep and at a small distance from each other (30 cm).
Did you know? Because of its shape, in the 17th century, asarin was used as a garland.
The soil
The preferred soil is any loose soil with good water circulation, because the plant does not like overflow. The plant needs a well-lit area, precisely in order to avoid excess moisture. 
To prepare the ideal landing site, it is enough to break through the soil and, if possible, add some sand.
Hardening
Before planting the seedlings, it must be properly hardened: for this, the plant must be taken out 10 days outside for a certain time, which must be slightly increased each time.
Before landing
Before landing in the ground should also be remembered that asarin support is necessary, because it must climb over them until it reaches a certain length, after which it can cling to the walls independently. The best option for the construction of such supports would be a metal mesh with medium holes or simply vertical wire.
Growing from cuttings
A less rare method of growing asarin is grafting. This requires strong healthy cuttings that should be planted in moistened sand and wait until they take root. After that, they should be placed in separate pots in loose soil.
Pots are important to put in a well-lit place.
Plant Care
After planting the flower, it is important to carry out the right care. Azarin is a relatively unpretentious plant, but some efforts will still have to be made.
Temperature
Maurandia loves the sun, because the heat for the flower is not a big problem. Enough to provide it with the necessary amount of moisture. 
Watering
This flower does not like excessive watering, however, and dry soil does not suit him either. In the summer, it will be enough to water the plant twice. The soil should be a little wet, there should be no puddles.
Humidity
Humidity does not hurt the flower, so in the summer, in addition to watering, it is necessary to additionally spray the leaves from a spray bottle.
Top dressing
As soon as the plant blooms for the first time, it is necessary to begin additional feeding in the form of potash and phosphate mineral fertilizers.
Topping
To make a bush more voluminous and branched, it is necessary to pinch it properly. To do this, cut off some of the shoots, after which the plant will be forced to plant two instead of one shoot. 
Garter
For greater convenience, the plant needs a garter, because it will be easier for him to cling and grow in length. Garter can be made with a regular cloth or thread.
Important! It is impossible to over-pull shoots, as the plant will be difficult to grow.
Sanitary pruning
A healthy plant does not need pruning. It is enough to simply cut off dead or seriously diseased shoots in spring.

Diseases and pests
Diseases of this flower are also not peculiar. The only threat to asarin is aphid, which is quite simple to recognize: it can be seen with the naked eye, and the leaves and flowers become deformed and dehydrated. The insect sucks the juice from the plant and harms the emergence of new healthy leaves and sprouts. If time does not get rid of infection, the flower will die. As a fight, an infusion of orange peel, garlic, onion or pine needles is perfect.

This breeding method allows the tle to spread very quickly and multiply the population many times over.So, azarina lazyaschaya is the perfect solution for decorating the suburban area, and most importantly - this flower is very simple to grow and unpretentious to care.
Recommendations for growing asarins from netizens
I will share my crooked experience growing from seed to seedlings. Sowing in sphagnum moss gave a great result. The mistake was that the moss should be chopped very finely with scissors. I did not attach any importance to this. Today I transplanted everything into pots and my stupidity showed its own. When dyeing moss, shoot with moss can be taken with tweezers and calmly transplanted into a pot, if the moss is not chopped, such an operation is difficult. Germination in moss is amazing, considering that I can forget to water, it turned out 14 out of 12 announced on the package. The same result with other seeds.bobcat

Azarina fed infusion of banana peel. Mineral components are quickly absorbed and mastered by young plants. Fertilizing terrible to do, you can burn the roots, but you can organic. Temporarily stopped hardening on the balcony, in the afternoon about +5 and constant rain. But at night I open the window where the seedlings are. Fresh air is simply necessary for its full development and viability. Greenhouse already removed.orhidea
