Work of flower growers in November

It's essential to ensure that perennials and biennials survive the winter safely, as winters in Russia are often very cold and with little snow. Therefore, plants have no protection from freezing.

Protection of clematis

ClematisThose that bloomed on last year's stems should be removed from the trellis and laid on the ground. Cover with fallen leaves and non-woven material.

Helpful information! In southern Russia, clematis don't necessarily need to be removed from their supports. Simply cover them with two layers of non-woven fabric or a warm blanket. This will help them survive the winter even better.

Covering rose bushes

Hill them with compost and sprinkle with fallen leaves. When the temperature drops to -5 to -7°C, they can be covered with plastic film or covering material, placing them on arches above the bushes.

Roses They don't tolerate dampness, so the inside should be kept dry. Leave holes on the sides for air circulation. Close them only during severe frosts.

Covering bulbous specimens

Cover with a thin layer of fallen leaves. Mulch the tulips if their bulbs are of poor quality or were planted later than expected. This will prevent the soil from freezing for longer, giving the plants time to establish roots.

Important! The leaves must be healthy, without signs of disease.

Winter sowing

A suitable location for winter sowing is on a plot where:

• the snow will not be blown away;
• the winter sun will not overheat it;
• the seeds will not be washed away by melt water.

For large seeds, make furrows 3-5 cm deep; for small seeds, 1 cm deep. Cover the seeds with pre-prepared soil mixture that has been stored indoors and has not yet frozen.

Please note! You can sow even after snow has already fallen. First, trample down the snow where you plan to plant the seeds. Scatter the seeds onto the compacted strips of snow. Cover them with prepared soil. Then, cover with snow.

Perennials that require cold stratification can also be sown before winter:

• rudbeckia;
• lupine;
• Oriental poppy;
• delphinium;
• gaillardia;
• columbine etc.

Thanks to winter sowing, gardeners will have less work to do in the spring.

Storing seeds and bulbs

Clean the seeds collected in the flowerbed and scatter them into seed pods or plastic bags. Remove the roots and soil from the dug-up bulbs. Place them in boxes filled with sand and store them in a cool, dry place.

Useful information! Begonia tubers It is recommended to pack them in plastic bags with sawdust or sand inside. It is best to store them in the refrigerator on the vegetable shelf.

Regularly ventilate the basement or other room where tubers or bulbs are stored. Inspect the planting material for any signs of infection.

If the soil or sand in the box dries out, moisten it periodically.

Other outdoor work

To prevent the branches of pyramidal conifers from breaking under the weight of snow, it is recommended to tie them. Twine can be used for this.

If the soil hasn't frozen yet, you should stock up on it in advance for growing seedlings and spring planting of houseplants. Compost should also be prepared.

Caring for indoor plants

To help indoor plants better withstand short daylight hours, excess heat, and dry air from intensive heating systems, you need to choose the most optimal location for them, depending on the species.

Subtropical specimens require cool conditions. An insulated loggia or veranda is ideal for them. The plants require occasional loosening and very little watering.

Cacti require a bright, cool location. It's recommended to place them near a window, away from radiators.

Blooming cyclamens And azaleas Place in a bright, cool place. The air should be humid. You can use special humidifiers or place deep trays filled with wet pebbles or expanded clay.

Important! Any plants should not be allowed to dry out. They should be misted regularly and placed under a warm shower, if permitted for the specific species.

As it turns out, November is a time for gardeners to relax a bit, but there's still some work to be done. When deciding what to do on a given day, it's important to consult the lunar calendar. Following it strictly will make your work more productive.
