Shading
This treatment is necessary on hot and sunny days, when plants, despite proper care, wilt. By limiting the access of sunlight, the temperature of the immediate surroundings of the plants, goes down a bit. Shading is especially important when growing plants in greenhouses and frames.
The cheapest way of shading is painting the glass with chalk or lime milk with clay, however, this is quite a troublesome method, because you have to paint again after each rain, besides, with constantly shaded windows, the plants have too little light in the morning and afternoon hours. It is much better to use shades made of pig iron or wooden slats (frames with the size of an inspection window with wide slats 30 mm, mm thick, nailed down what
2 cm). Shadow tubes are put on on sunny days between an hour 10 a 16. They should not stay on the windows any longer, as it could cause eruption (rundown) plants.
Supporting plants
When growing climbing plants and long plants, but for weak shoots it is necessary to use various kinds of supports. They are required by, inter alia,. in. sweet peas, spoilers, greenhouse cloves, peonies and many more.
Brushwood can be used to support scented peas and other plants with sticky tendrils. Very often, supports made of wire or string stretched in several rows between the stakes are used. Wooden stakes are usually used to support large and bushy plants, to which shoots are tied in eight raffia, with a soft string, or with fabric scraps.
The methods of supporting are discussed in more detail in the descriptions of the cultivation of individual plants, especially cloves.
