Better yet, prepare peat with sand and place this compound on a square meter, where the bug is then planted. The exact composition is selected depending on the type of soil available on the site.

The fruit contains up to 34 seeds. It is desirable to plant them in the near future, as long-term storage sharply reduces the chances of germination.

In the vegetative mode, the place where the bug (berry) grows, is cut with a shovel and, together with the ground, is placed on the selected plot of land in the garden, having prepared it and fertilized it.

Care

On a small bush with branches, located at the ground, there are brushes with 2-3 flowers: pink bells with yellowish corollas. From the middle of summer berries appear under the umbrellas. In appearance they resemble cranberries. But the taste is peculiar. At first it seems that the berries are sweet. Then, a sour taste is felt. But after the berry is chewed, there is a bitterish-brackish taste on the tongue.
