Sour cherry plant: home care

One day, while walking past a flower shop, I saw some small maroon butterflies in the window. I wonder what this is? Going into the store, I found out that this plant with large triangular leaves, severely dissected into three parts, is acidic. Care at home for this plant, as I understood from the words of the seller, is not very scrupulous, and a certain amount of money from my wallet migrated to the budget of the flower shop.

They, it turns out, are so different

This herb is represented in nature by several dozens of species, the homeland of which is mainly Africa and Central and South America. Occasionally an acid can be found in the meadows of Central Europe. Most species of oxalis (this is the name for this herb in botany) is attracted by its leaves, some species have both decorative leaves and attractive flowers. For example, the musk deer is not only fluffy, like corrugated, semicircular leaves, but also has large white, pink or purple flowers. Oksalis-kislitsa Depp four-leaved with its semicircular leaves is very similar to clover. Only its leaves in the middle have a dark maroon color and are divided into four equal parts. Therefore, this grass deserves the name "clover of happiness". Already mentioned at the beginning of the article, the triangular almond with its large maroon leaves reminds butterflies. Her light purple flowers with bright asterisks stand out against the dark background of the foliage. Deserves attention and succulent succulent, called so for sitting on thick stalks, sticks, bluish-green dense leaves.

Care for an acid in the home

The flower is acidic - quite tenacious and powerful. Planted in one pot with some other plant, the oxalis will win the dispute over the territory, and sooner or later it will have to provide him with a separate living space. Unobtrusive acidic, home care for which even a novice can do, is not demanding on the basic conditions of detention. She feels great both on the southern window and on the north window sill. In order for this herb to please you with regular flowering, it is necessary to feed it every two weeks with an integrated fertilizer for ornamental and flowering plants alternately. Ordinary sour, home care for which, unlike its varietal girlfriends, is extremely simple, requires periodic renewal of the bush by thinning or detaching part of the bush from the maternal and transplanting it into fresh soil. In general, this rule of care extends to all kinds of queslitz. Without this procedure, the plant grows, the leaves grow shallow, the core of the bush is bare, and the pot with the grass loses decorativeness.

Colorful flower is sour. Care at home for her, as well as for every herb plant, means timely watering. This baby has nothing to store moisture - it has no thick roots, like chlorophytum, no strong stem, like cacti, no fleshy bulb like hippeastrum. Therefore, with a prolonged drought acid will simply die, if, of course, beforehand, of course, will not have time to continue its genus with the help of seeds.

Reproduction of scurvy

Many types of acid in the home without too much help multiply by seeds, mature in the remaining field of flowering boxes. At the slightest touch, they burst, spreading the seeds on the adjacent area within a radius of 30-50 cm. So do not be surprised if one day you find a hibiscus in a nearby pot, for example, a young acid. But there are species that do not multiply by seeds at home. This, for example, is triangular. Such specimens can be multiplied by dividing the bush, rhizome processes reminiscent of nodules.
