Actinia, Marine Anemones - Actiniaria detachment

Anemonia Sea or Actinia (Actiniaria) are a detachment from the class of six-world corals, a subtype of corals or coral polyps (Anthozoa). Actinia is known about 1500 species. Anemones Sea are quite large, fleshy animals reaching in the height of one meter. They have soft tubular bodies that are completely devoid of a lime skeleton.

The body of the cylindrical shape, which is truncated from above. It has a slit mouth, surrounded by a suckling row. The body of the marine anempone from below ends with "sole", with which the animal is embrying, thus attaching to underwater subjects.

At first glance, an acting supreets with petals of flowers is striking, and most of all they resemble chrysanthemum flowers, dahlias and asters. Actinia can be painted in the most different colors. Among these animals, species with purple, brown, snow-white, green and even gentle blue bodies are found.

Actinia is widespread in the oceans. They live in arctic latitudes and in the equatorial waters, in coastal sands and at sea depths of devoid of light, plunging at the bottom of the deep oceanic deposits to the depth of over 10,000 meters. Sea anemone can be found on algae, sponges, corals and other marine animals. However, most types of actinium prefers small depths of coastal shallow water, and water with quite large salinity. And they live in the main one, in search of the refuges are able to overcome small distances.

At the ends of the tentacle, some types of actius are formed by curling threads due to the formation of a large number of cutting capsules here. At the same time, the cutting capsules serve as an act of action for both attack and to protect against enemies. Poison of cutting threads hitting the sacrifice, instantly paralyzes her as soon as the sea beauty touches them the tentacles. Even in a person, unintentionally touched to the anemone, appears on the skin of the burn, and the hand swells for a long period. In addition, there is a general intoxication of the body, which is accompanied by a headache and chills. After some time, the burning skin occurs at the place of burns, and deep, poorly healing ulcers are formed.

At the same time, the poison of the scattering capsules of actinium is still not an absolutely reliable means of protection against enemies. So, some mollusks pursue the actinium, as they are more or less small or insensitive to their poison, and some kind of fish without harm to themselves, easily swallow sea anemone. But many small fish are excellent feed for predatory actinium.

It is well known to the peaceful cohabitation of this sea "flower" and some fish, which is often found in nature. With the slightest harm to himself among the fishes of the acting live fish-clowns. And the secret in the protective mucus-shell, which is covered with these fish, it is she who protects them from poison supreets actinium. Fish-clowns Even in search of food are not floating far from Aktini, and in case of danger, it is immediately hidden in the thick of her supreets. And the fish, in turn, by drinking their extraction near the mouth of the actinium and losing her remnants, as if feeding their defender, and their gas exchanges would significantly improve the active movements of their fins. Thus, from such a cohabitation and fish-clowns, and actios receive mutual benefits, so their union is strong.

Other cases of action symbiosis with marine organisms are also known. And the most classic example of such relationships is the symbiosis of sea anemone and shells. And this happens like this: Eupagurus Excavatus cancer is looking for a native of an empty shell of mollusks with an actinium already attached to her, and in the case of such a find - he climbs out of his sink in the found one. And maybe cancer carefully remove acts with stone and transplant to your sink ...

The Anemones of the Sea powered mainly by various petty invertebrates, sometimes their prey become the fish, which they first kill or paralyze "batteries" of their cutting cells or booksides, and only after that with the help of a tental tighten to the mouth. Large acts are also fed by crab and double molluscs. They have the edges of the mouth can swell, forming a similarity of lips, which also contributes to the seizure of production.

Actinia such as Metridium, Radianthus and Stichodactyla, which have numerous tentacles, feed mainly weighted food particles. But the Stichodactyla Helianthus anemon is capable of catching sedentary sea ends, covering them with their muscular oral disc. The acts that feed on the water weighted in water, catch the inhabitants of the plankton using a sticky mucus covering the surface of the body and tentacle. The cilias located on the surface of the body always send prey towards the oral disk, and the cilia on the tentacles move the food particles to the tips of the tentacles, after which the tentacles bend and send food into the mouth.

The sea anemone can also be observed both with sex and sexual reproduction. Miscellaneous reproduction, passing by dividing or fragmentation of the body, is quite usually for actinium. For Aiptasia Pallida's agamous species, Haliplanella Luciae and Metridium Senile is characterized by a very specialized form of fragmentation, the so-called pedal lager. At the same time, small fragments of the edge of the sole can be separated from actius when it moves, and they can simply sprawl to the side of fixed acts. As a result of such a plenty around the base of the body of the parental individual, the similarity of the "Withe Ring" of young small actinations is formed, in which separate fragments of the maternal soles are shortly transformed. The useless reproduction by the longitudinal division of the body, also noted among representatives of many types of actinium, but the division in the transverse direction is rare, in particular the GonActinia Prologera and Nematostella VECTENSIS.

Sexual reproduction is provided both separately and hermaphroditic acts. On seppes having a type of longitudinal swollen lights between mesenteric thread and a retractor muscle, gonads are located. The fertilization and development of eggs can occur both in the gastral cavity and in sea water with external fertilization. The larva planned, which can be plankotrophic or lecithotrophic, after a certain period of time (different in different species), is subjected to metamorphosis, turning into a new act of actinium.

Latin name: Anemone

Other names: Anemone

Family:Lutikovy (lat. Ranunculaceae)

View:Rod of perennial herbaceous plants, including about 160 species

Name:The modern scientific name is formed from Greek. Άνεμος - "Wind". Perhaps the literal translation of the name can mean "wind daughter". Probably the name is given to the plant due to its sensitivity to the wind, already with small gusts of which large petals of flowers begin to tremble, and the flowers swing on long blossoms. Earlier it was mistaken that the flowers of the plant under the action of wind can close or flaw.

Gardeners to designate plants of the genus usually use tracing with Latin - anemone.

Because of the external similarity, marine animals of Actinia (Actiniaria) are sometimes called "marine anemons."

Spread: There are found in the novertropic zone of the northern hemisphere, including the Arctic. About 50 types of winds, about 30 types of shotgun and 3 types of liver, 9 types of windy, 3 types of shotgun penetrate the Russian Arctic, some of them are found in the foreign Arctic (north of Norway, Arctic Alaska, the Arctic coast of Canada, Islands Banks and Victoria, Hudson Gulf Coast, Labrador).

Habitat: Grow in forests (mainly deciduous), shrubs, edges, parks, shady lawns; on raw mountain valleys; on dry hills, at the bottom of the forest area of \u200b\u200bthe mountains; in steppe meadows, deposits, stony cliffs; on subalpine meadows, grassy slopes, in mountain tundra; in tundra.

Classification of garden species anemone

♦ Forest plants with long rhizomes. Flower in early spring, solitary flowers. The time of vegetation is short (ephemeroids). The most widely used types of: aubravnaya anemone (A. Nemorosa), an anemone butt (A. Ranunculoides). Both types have wide ranges covering Europe, Russia, the Far East.

♦ Plants with dirty rhizomes. Flower in spring - at the beginning of summer, flowers of solitary. Efemeroids. The most widely used types: a boron anemone (A. Coronaria), a tender anemone (A. Banda). Both species of the Mediterranean.

♦ Plants with a thickened short root. Flower in the late spring - early summer, flowers in umbrella inflorescence. Decorative foliage is maintained throughout the growing season. This group includes the long-haired (A. Crinita) and a bunch of beam, or narcissocet (A. Fasciculata A. narcissiflora). The first appearance in nature is found in Siberia and North Mongolia, the second - in the mountains of Central and Southern Europe, the Caucasus.

♦ Plants with a powerful root system, Capable to form root siblings bloom at the end of spring - early summer. The most promising type is the Forest Anemone (A. Sylvestris). Wides in bright forests of Europe, the North Caucasus, the Far East.

Description: Some of them bloom in early spring, others - in the summer, third - in the fall.

Spring Anemones

Spring Anemone - elegant plants with carved leaves - adorable to flowering, but from the glade with blooming anemons just do not take out eyes. It is pastel clean tones and gentle shades: snow-white, blue, pink, cream, lilac, and in the anemone buttercupy flowers bright yellow. There are forms with terry flowers.

Annemon Gentle(Anemone Banda) dubravnaya anemone(Anemone Nemorosa) annemon buttercup (Anemone Ranunculoides), Hybrid of the last two species amemon Lipsensis (Anemone X Lipsiensis), in the culture has long been. Their tender cups of cups are familiar in spring gardens, and recently the variety of varieties become more popular. These anemones are ephemeroids, that is, plants with a short cycle of overhead development. They wake up early, in April, and in May they bloom together. Single flowers, on thin durable flowers, are raised over the leaves by 5-7 cm. The diameter of the flowers from 2.5 to 5 cm. The curtain height is 10-25 cm. By July, they can already go on peace. However, many varietal specimens when they grow under optimal conditions, retain leaves until autumn. Plants grow to the side with the help of rhizomes. The anemone is a lean and petty, it is fragile, segic, each new site ends with a kidney from which new shoots will appear next year. Anemone has a similar structure of rhizomes, but it is thin and rigid. Rhizomes are located horizontally in the upper layer, at a depth of 3-5 cm. The root of the anemone is a delicate cheerful, dense, it grows much slower than other species.

Autumn anemone

The group, conventionally referred to as autumn anemons, includes anemone Hubeyskaya(Anemone hupehensis) japanese (A. Japonica), vinecase (A.Vitifolia) and felt (A. Tomentosa), as well as their garden hybrids. These are large perennials with a powerful branched root system, blooming from the end of summer to the middle of the autumn. Slender durable flowers, from 80 to 150 cm height depending on the variety, carry several tens of flowers - simple or semi-world, white and different shades of pink and purple. Since species are rare - they are inferior to garden hybrids on decorativeness, "worth paying attention to the varieties. In the catalogs, they can most often meet as a variety of Japanese, vine-hearted or anemone hybrid (A. x Hybrida).

Autumn anemones are unpretentious, they differ strong health and are well growing. Unlike many other garden perennials, their long and strong blooms are not required. Autumn Beauty Annemon prefers fertile soil. The perfect place is in a half, and with good watering - and in the sun. Annemon can grow in the shade of shrubs, but at some distance from them, since it does not make competing on the side of the roots of other plants. Autumn anemones multiply root offspring. For a couple of years, one plant is so growing, which covers an area of \u200b\u200bat least square meters. This must be taken into account immediately when landing, as the anemone does not tolerate the transplant. Examine bustling bushes are dismembered by a shovel into smaller. It should be carried out manually, without a ripper, so as not to damage the gentle roots of the plant. If you have already caught up with the desire to plant the autumn anemone in the garden, take care of patience and wait until Spring - in the warm season, this perennial is better rooted. For the winter plants, especially young, requires shelter.

Care:Landing is needed to be mulched by a humid or loose peat, and the best of all - the foliage of the deciduous trees: oak, linden, maple, apple tree.

Watering:All types of winds moderately need moisture. They grow well on the moistened areas, but necessarily with good drainage. Poorly carry stagnant moisturizing.

Priming: Too scyed soils - not the best place for landing anemone. Therefore, before placing plants on the selected area, it is worth adding a portion of wood ash or dolomite flour to the upper layer of the Earth.

Fertilizer: As fertilizers, it is recommended to use complex minerals. Moreover, apply them only during flowering. And if the garden before landing was fertilized, you can generally exclude this procedure from the schedule care for anemonia. If you do not neglect these measures, the ideal conditions for all varieties of the anemone will be guaranteed.

Reproduction:

Seeding:Anemones can be multiplied by seeds. But it is worth noting that the level of germination is rather low. Of all the seeds, only the fourth part will germinate at best. And that indicators can only boast only freshly placed sowing material. But the anemone from the seed is still possible. To increase the level of germination, you need to take care of stratification. This procedure is the maintenance of seeds in cold conditions. In case of subsequent sowing, the need for stratification disappears. It is relevant for seeds that plan to germinate in spring. The depth of the seal is insignificant. Rare seedlings who are lucky enough to scream, rather fragile - they are not able to overcome the fat layer of the Earth. Therefore, it is worth using loose lightweight with a porous structure. With the autumn sowing seeds are gluable early in spring. If the landing was carried out in spring or in the summer, the first sprouts usually appear within a month. Young shoots need to carefully protect against the convergence to prevent their death.

Vegetative reproduction Anemone: Seed reproduction is extreme measure. It is usually used quite rarely. After all, it is much easier to get a full-fledged planting material in other ways. Very easy to propagate varieties with a branched openwork root system. More difficult, but it is quite realistic, to grow anemone from the tuber. The fission of rhizomes is best to coincide with the spring. During this period, the juice movement slowed down, so the plant calmly responds to the procedure. When cutting the rhizomes, it is necessary to ensure that several kidneys of the resumption attended each separated piece. They are responsible for building green mass. The varieties that the familiar root system are replaced by tubers need pre-sowing preparation. The planting material must be immersed for several hours in warm water and leave so that the tubers will increase in size - swell. This technique contributes to the acceleration of germination. Cloths are planted at a depth of 3 to 7 cm. Moisturize the soil should be neat, but regularly. Experts recommend immediately decide on the location of the plants. This requirement for anemone with a tuber root system is particularly relevant. Young anemones most often calmly take root after the transplant. For adult plants, this procedure may result in deplorable. As an option - a transplant with a volume of land. This approach will help soften stress.

Winter: Under the middle strip, almost all varieties can be left to winter in the open soil. It should be previously increased by 2-3 times the thickness of mulch and equip the shelter from the huskoth or branches of deciduous trees. In the harsh climate, you will have to dig up rhizomes. Especially sensitive to frosts of tuber grades. The underground part digs, dried and stored in a coolness until the landing.

Diseases and pests: Anemones are sufficiently resistant to diseases and pests, only sometimes they are affected by a sheet nematode. Yellowish-brown appears on the leaves, later - darker stains. With a strong lesion, the death of the plant is possible. Usually strongly affected plants are recommended to destroy, removing and infected with the soil at the landing site.

Therapeutic properties of anemona:

♦ Squeezed juice with honey is useful when clouding in the eye, lime and traces from the eye in the eye. If you pull it into the nose, cleans your head and brain, and the root (anemones) chew to stretch moisture from the head.

♦ Anemone is boiled and lubricated with her tumors, which have not yet hardened.

♦ The dried anemone helps with contaminated ulcers and scarves them, and also helps with peeling and is a cleansing agent for ulcers.

♦ If you boil the leaves of the anemone with its stems and barley stems and eat, this medicine drives milk in women.

Application:The anemone is butterior, a peppercoule, a noble liver is used in medicine.

Anemone - decorative plants.

Spring Anemones: Annemon tender suitable for the forefront of flower beds. It grows slowly, so it is worth landing by groups of several plants. In miniature compositions with small bushes, coniferous or perennials, there is enough one group, in the extended flower beds it is better to plant several groups. It is not necessary to plant this species next to the perennials that require frequent division or transplantation not to disturb without the need for anemone. Anemones Dubravnaya, butterior and lipsensis are suitable for any compositions in a half: imitation of the forest edge, front or medium plan for a shadow flower garden, a carpet under trees or shrubs, a garden of fern, etc. All varieties are perfectly combined with each other in color. Zelencetrene anemones are most suitable for landing in the foreground in collectible gardens. Amemone Uska can be released on the will in the shadow natural style garden.

Autumn Anemones: In the garden, autumn anemones will serve any flower bed. Very good combinations with decorative herbs, Rudbecki, copecles, astrams, aconites, veronicasters. The only limitation: in the neighbors to the anems you need to pick up plants that will not suffer from its active growing to the parties. Anemone is beautiful, decorative leaves season, so do not need to take care of landing any other perennials.

Well-developed hormone-shaped bushes allow landing the autumn anemone by a group or single. Having landed the anemone against the background of shrubs, you can get a spectacular long-lying "edge". In the curtain of the anemone, molars can land: proless, Hionodox, Pushkin.

Partners: The anemone flowers perfectly look in the composition with an Astilba, Astroj, the Ossennets-driving acromichaelii (Aconitum Naplellus or A.Carmichaelii), Cimicifuga Ramosa, blooming in September. No less impressive and neighborhood with decorative perennial cereals. The combination of Lodnimous Anemone with the Scharbage Macrophylla, Palmatum, Palmatum, Glossy Palmatum, Glutanese Rododendron, is excellent.

About animals included in the Actiniaria detachment. The name of animals comes from the name of the earth flower, anemones.

If you check the classification, Actiia is included in the Anthozoa class, the type of bookan and the subclass of the six best corals. This animal is known to the world because of his symbiotic relationship with fish.

From the Commonwealth with Aktini fish benefits - improved gas exchange and nutrition (feed that remains after fish meal).

Also, the symbiosis has developed in actinium with crabs of the genus Lybia. Crabs-boxers use outline stringing polyps for their own protection against predators. Crabs pick up the actinium and keep them as a shield. Actinia, in turn, thanks to crabs you receive mobility, because they cannot move independently.

Here are some interesting facts about Actinia:

Actinia, like all other books, have a mesogle in the body - an embarrassing substance. Anemones have a close connection with corals, hydraus and jellyfish.

Actinia is able to decorate any aquarium. For commercial purposes, actsia is treated as a collection for aquarium. Thus, the trade is increasing.

These marine inhabitants have an amazing range of color variety. Their vitreous bodies are always bright and gentle.

Activity size.

The diameter can reach 1.8 - 3 cm. The largest marine anemones have a swing of 2 meters. The smallest barely reaches 4 mm.

Aquinity's mouth functions as an anus. Function capture and fishing. The location of the mouth is the center of the disk cavity. And a few tentacles are located around the mouth.

Actius harmless and harmless animals. Marine Anemone is not dangerous for a person. Nevertheless, some types of actinium have toxin, capable of applying burns to a person.

Feed acts - fish, molluscs and small marine animals. Peaceful Actios - Calm Individuals: Eat everything that floats in water. However, they distinguish edible food from inedible.

  • Next to the acting lives those fish and mollusks that are insensitive to their poison.
  • For large and predatory fish, Aktini serves as a place of disguise and shelter.

This animal, marine acting, is quite different from other books of life. They have a lack of free swimming, such as jellyfish. From corals are distinguished by the fact that they do not live with colonies, groups, and one - prefer to live alone.

Actius life cycle. The polyp is derived from Planula after the egg, fertilized by sperm, starts its division.

Miscellaneous reproduction is also characteristic of acts. In some types of acts, division is the result
Affected reproduction.

Most actories live in one place constantly. Nevertheless, they can move to another place if it does not suit them for life. They move if predators pissels them or location faces long dryness. To get to the new place, they use movements resembling crawl.


Marine Anemone can be consumed. It is used as a delicacy in southwestern Spain and southern Italy.

Sea anemones are often served in a grain or pickled in vinegar.

Animal Actinium is really similar to the flower. And called the anemons, but someone resembles Astra. Researchers of sea depths counted one and a half thousand different types of anemone.

Cutting to pieces, acti demonstrate their wonderful ability to reproduce and restore.

In one row, all the tentacles are equally the same in color, structure and length. However, they may differ in different rows.

Anyone who seen this amazing creation is primarily interested in: Actinia is an animal or plant? Many misleading introduces the definition of this being - "Marine Anemone": nevertheless most people know that anemone is a flower. Surprisingly beautiful managers to adapt to life in the form of quite vulnerable organisms, imaginable imagination: it's so I want to carry them with you, protect and shelter. Not worth it! First of all, it is not for nothing that these creatures are called "Medusa-Acting": they are quite capable of standing, and not only for themselves. And secondly, you are unlikely to create suitable habitat for them. So, being at the resort, just enjoy their look and try not to swim too close to not treat after quite painful burns.

Appearance

It is the appearance of these creatures that gives rise to an eternal question: Actinia is an animal or plant? And by the way, until the end of the 19th century, they attributed them to plant species. However, science does not stand still: it was found that "marine anemones" are animals, in their structure and lifestyle close to meduzam and other intestine-happiness, to which many biologists are counted and comb.

If you explain primitively, any actinium (photos are presented) is one solid mouth on the leg. "Petals" similar to floral is a tentacles responsible for the delivery of food. Most often, the "stand" has a flat sole, which "sea anemones" are attached to a rock or solid bottom; But there are views with a pointed limb - they are stuck in the bottom like a bouquet; And there are floating varieties. Watching the behavior of these creatures, you will not be possession of: Actinia is an animal or plant? It immediately becomes clear that she is not just an animal - she is a predator.

Anemones of the sea - not polyps

It will also be mistaken to say that this is a beautiful creation - coral. Actinia, no doubt, is very close to polypams that form fascinating all the islands. However, they do not form a skeleton, but corals are skeletons of polyps. At the same time, it is impossible to say that the actius "softly", since the substance filling the space between the cells, forms a very thick layer and reminds the cartilage from vertebrates.

What do they eat?

Another argument in doubt, Actinia is an animal or plant - its diet. If you are interested in remembering, plants feed on water (with substances dissolved in it) and what can be extracted from the soil. However, sea anemones prefer an absolutely different menu. It includes small invertebrates and minor fish (if lucky). The method of prey of food is also absolutely unimpressive: the tentacles paralyzing production and pull it up to the mouth of the hole. Someone may argue: known and this is so, however, they will not brag about the mouth and dissolve the extraction of enzymes located directly on the sheet plate or in a flower trap. That is, they do not have organs intended exclusively for digestion.

Impact on the sacrifice

Even if you assume that the action is a plant, then it is necessary to look for an explanation for its method of hunting. In each cutting cell - albeit very small - there is a kind of capsule in which the poison is concluded. And on the outside, there is a cutting thread with spikes, drawn back. Visually, under a microscope, all this device resembles a miniature harpoon. When attacking Actinia, the thread is straightened, the needle lies in the body of the victim and produces poison. So complex structure has no plants - they cost significantly lower on the evolutionary staircase and have a much simpler structure.

By the way, the stinging poison of Actinia is dangerous even for such a large organism as a person. To death, he will, of course, will not lead, however, the burning sensation with itch will provide, and in some cases and necrosis develops. Those who regularly communicate with delicate "anemons", almost all have allergies in stock.

Famous symbiosis

I must say that most marine colors lead a fixed lifestyle. However, the update of hunting grounds is what any acts need. Movement is usually carried out by symbilation. The most famous of them (familiar thanks to the Soviet touching cartoon) is a hermit cancer. The most interesting thing is that this shell himself transfers to its "shell" is a fatally dangerous creature for mollusks. For quite a long time, they coexist peacefully: cancer tolerates the sea flower from place to place, the actinium reflects the attacks taken by its natural enemies. However, everything is not so cloudless: "The leg" of the marine "flower" easily dissolves the organic, from which the carrier shell consists, after which the cancer comes the end.

Moving "Marine Anemonov"

Even those actsia that is intended to be "sitting" in place can navigate. In the end, the small inhabitants of the oceans, as they speak in the people, "not dumber of the locomotive" and eventually aware of the danger of some kind of bottom terrain. Accordingly, the ocean flowers are forced to migrate, since their hunting grounds are indispensable. What does the average acting in this case take? Movement it slowly, but confident. The sole is separated from the bottom, put forward for a slight distance, fixed and pulls up the rest of the body. However, small varieties (like gonactin) can even swim, straightening the tentacles back.

Fish-actinium collaboration

It must be said, oceanic anemones are symbiotect not only with hermit cancer. They are traveling on other shells (however, for carriers it usually ends the same, even in the case of small varieties). However, actii can well coexist with fish. The Australian coast has the largest acts on Earth (their "Rotik" is often not limited to a half-meter diameter) give a shelter among their affected amphiprion - very bright fish that fallen food residues feed the "master", and the work of fins create additional aeration. At the same time, acti is completely able to distinguish their friends from other fish and actively protect them from predatory encroachments.

Reproduction of Actinia

Preferences they give in a gender method, which is another proof that sea flowers are animals, not plants. However, in adverse conditions, they can also use the conquest at which you begin to remember the error about "Actinia - Plant", and longitudinal or transverse division. This is especially true of small varieties. The same gonactivity collapses across. It is extremely interesting to observe this: the first thing grows a wreath of a supreets around the body circumference, and then it is divided. The upper half makes himself the sole, the bottom - "Rotik" and another set of shimmer. It is noteworthy that the second division is not waiting for the end of the first one, so the acting of this species can be oboated by several rings of tentacles, foreshadowing several individuals.

Check, actinium is an animal or plant - it is possible on its own example. Sea anemones do not regard human either as an enemy or how to prey. So, with human touch, they are simply folded (if they do not choke, of course). You can say, hide. And otherwise Actinia (photos demonstrate) - a very beautiful and interesting creature, followed by even just watching.

Anime or another anemone, translated from Latin literally means "wind daughter". If you look at the anemons into windy weather, you can see that the leaflets and flowers of this gentle, an unusually elegant plant tremble in the wind. This flower refers to the iltickling family and is a perennial, herbaceous plant.
In nature, anemona can be found in regions with a temperate climate on plains or in the mountains. Total anemones have more than 160 species that bloom at different times of the year and very different. Anemone varieties can confuse even an experienced flower, so diverse.

Types of anemone

Among the enormous variety of species and varieties, the anemone is very unpretentious. This can be explained by the fact that some varieties have a root - this is a tuber, and others are a powerful rhizome. If the anemone with the root system can easily be careful, then errors in the care of corteon varieties can lead to deposits. Because of the external similarity with these flowers, marine acts are sometimes called the anemons.

By the time of flowering, the anemone is divided into spring and summer. Spring Anemones will delight you with lush flowering in April. Spring varieties are distinguished by a pastel palette of colors - flowers can be a gentle-cream color, white, pink, blue, or lilac ... Even the terry varieties of anemone are derived. But spring varieties fonders quickly and in the middle of the summer, the rest period begins. Although, if you provide proper care for your spring anemons, they will retain the leaves until autumn.

Summer views of anemone - this is usually fairly large perennial plants, in which flowers really resemble sea anemones. They have a powerful root system and they do not require such painstaking care, like spring anemones. From the middle of the summer and until the middle of the autumn. Released and, which time for one season bloom twice. Coloros in summer anemone durable and pretty high. There are varieties of anemone, reaching up to one and a half meters in height. These are really beautiful flowers that disgregate in the wind, as if the marine marine inhabitants.

Secrets of landing anemone

Many flower products note that when performing simple rules, care and landing anemone can be quite simple. There are, of course, plants that require tireless care, but there are also completely unpretentious varieties. But if you are wrong to care for the anemone, then the colors can not wait.

The cultivation of the anemone in the garden is reduced to fulfillment quite simple, but mandatory rules:

  • Annemon loves watering very much. Especially these flowers need moisture in arid weather. Annemon hardly tolerate a strong heat, and therefore the moisture is extremely necessary for it.
  • These flowers need mandatory feeding. In the fall, complex mineral fertilizers contribute, and in the spring and in the period of flowering in the soil under the plants it is necessary to make the organic.
  • For the winter, anemona must necessarily have shelter. Carefully hide your anemone from frost and northern winds, as the anemone is completely not tolerated cold.
  • The best time for reproduction of anemone is the spring period. Anenemo can be multiplied as root offspring, and grow from seeds.

Soil preparation for landing

The flower does not tolerate the cold wind or heat. Consider this when choosing a landing site for anemone.

Before you start landing the winds in your garden, it is necessary to choose a suitable place for them so that the colors are cozy. The best place is a fairly spacious land in the shade or a half, which is protected from the north wind and draft.

The soil on the selected area should be loose, very well permeable air. Ideal if you plant the anemones in the peat-peat soil. You can improve the structure of the earth by adding river sand. If you have an increase in the soil of increased acidity, then wood ash should be added to it.

Preparation of seeds

The seeds of the anemone have a very bad germination, which makes it difficult to grow these colors in a seed way. If you gather the seeds in the fall, then only a quarter will take up the next year. But it is possible to increase some germination.

To increase the germination of seeds, they should be kept in the cold for one to two months. Stratification should be conducted - mix seeds with sand or peat (peat must be three times more than seeds), then moisten the mixture. The mixture is moisturized several times a day until the seeds are swollen. After swelling, seeds in the container add some more peat or sand, moisturize and put it in the room, the air temperature in which is not higher than 5 degrees of heat. When the seeds start germinate, the container is carried out on the street and bury in the snow or land. So that the delicate sprouts do not frozen, on top of the container you need to pour peat or sawdust. With the arrival of spring, the container should be obtained and transplanting young plants into separate boxes.

There is a simpler and carefree option - just following the seeds in the boxes and scream boxes into the ground. In winter, natural stratification will be held, and in the spring you simply dissolve young plants.

Training clubs
