Choosing a place for a flower
For a flower to grow healthy and beautiful, it is important to plant it in the right place.
Location and lighting
Plant Solomon's seal prefers shady places. If the flower is planted on too sunny a plot, its growth may not occur so quickly, and an adult plant will not please you with its pomp.
It is recommended to plant a flower under a tree - it will look beautiful in the form of thickets. 
Growing soil
Plant any soil, but if you want growth to occur rapidly, it is better to give preference to a dense, fertile land. Poor soil inhibits flower development, and it looks painful.
Wet soil is well suited, but it should not be allowed to stagnate moisture. Choose for planting a place where the groundwater is deep.

Planting: how to propagate a multicolored cup
Breeding can be carried out in two ways - by seeds and vegetatively. Consider each one of them.
Seeds
Not only planting and caring for a multi-flowered bough can provide you with a beautiful and healthy shrub. It is very important to choose the method of its reproduction.
The seed method is used quite rarely, since the setting of seed occurs poorly, they quickly lose their germination, flowering begins only in the third year (and sometimes in the fifth).
For breeding hybrid varieties, this method is generally not used, since the offspring does not retain maternal characteristics. If, however, you intend to use this method, it is necessary to plant the seeds in late autumn - early winter.
At best, seedlings will appear by spring, but more often this happens only in the second year. 
Vegetative
This method is the most simple and common. Rhizomes have a cranked appearance, they have marks from dead stalks, which are called seals. They are necessary to determine the age of the flower.
Since the rhizomes are quite fragile, their division should be done carefully. By August - September, kidney renewal may already be noticeable. The division is usually performed in early September or early March.
This event is not recommended to carry out more often 1 time in 3 years. In addition, the flower will be updated and you will receive a new planting material, the division will allow you to control the growth of the culture.
Important! The plant is resistant to diseases and pests, but at the end of the summer slugs can attack it. In order to prevent this, be sure to process the culture with the drug "Inta-vir."
It is necessary to plant sprouts in pits with a depth of maximum 8 cm, while they should be placed horizontally. The distance between seedlings should be at least 20 cm.After planting is necessary to lay out the mulch. During the first few years the growth of the flower will be slow, but then it will begin to rapidly grow upwards.
How to care for a plant

To fight weeds can only be the first few years, after the end of this period, the bushes grow and do not give a chance to break through the weeds. 
Fertilizer
If kupena grows in fertile soil, one fertilizer per year will suffice. Organic fertilizers, such as manure or compost, are used as top dressing. Also mineral fertilizers are added in a small amount.
Transfer
Kupena reacts negatively to frequent transplants. This plant will feel great in one place for a long time, up to 20 years.
If, however, transplantation is necessary (for example, to obtain seed material), do not disturb the shrubs with obsessive care - gradually it will regain its strength.
We shelter the bathhouse for the winter
