Wild species of herbal cloves are affectionately called "forest watch" among the people. It still remains a mystery: "How can you determine the time from them?" Breeders have taken care of a variety of colors. We created forms with a color unusual for a wild species: dark crimson, white, bicolor. How to increase the amount of planting material on your site with minimal cost?
Breeding types
Carnation reproduces in several ways:
• seed;
• vegetative.
The crop is cross-pollinated. If you have several varieties growing on your site that differ from each other in color, then when sowing seeds, you will get an incredible variety of colors.
The vegetative method completely preserves the original parent forms. Gardeners practice cuttings of green rosettes in early spring or root cuttings near a bush.
Seed method
Seeds are sown in two stages: at home in bowls on the windowsill, in early spring after the snow melts into the greenhouses. The second method produces stronger, well-formed, seasoned seedlings.
At the beginning of April, a prepared mixture of sand, peat, garden humus is poured into boxes with drainage holes in a ratio of 1: 1: 2. Seal the surface, spill with a solution of potassium permanganate. Cut grooves with a depth of 0.3-0.5 cm. Seeds are distributed evenly. Sprinkle with fertile soil, compact the rows with your hand.
Sowing 5-6 grains in separate cups helps to grow cloves without additional picking. In a separate container, plants develop strong, do not suffer from a lack of light.
Cover the containers with foil. Seedlings appear in 10-15 days. The crops are aired daily for several minutes, preventing condensation from forming on the shelter. Excessive moisture leads to fungal diseases ("black leg", rot). After 2 weeks, the plants are gradually accustomed to the dry conditions of the room, first opening the film for 5-10 minutes. The time is increasing every day.
From boxes, seedlings dive in separate cups at the age of 1, 5 months. If the young growth was heaped, then it is not necessary to plant one plant in cups. Group picking contributes to better survival rate due to the preservation of the soil coma.
Sowing in greenhouses
In early spring (end of April), seed beds are prepared. They plow the soil with a rake to a depth of 8-10 cm. Weed roots are removed. Grooves are cut every 10-15 cm. If the soil is wet, then watering before sowing is excluded.
Spread the seeds evenly, sprinkle with a layer of 2-3 mm, compact by hand. Install arcs, cans of water, cover with foil. 1, 5-2 months, plants develop in a greenhouse. Water the soil if necessary. They are fed 2-3 weeks after germination with the complex fertilizer "Zdraven", a tablespoon without a slide on a bucket of liquid.
When the threat of returning cold has passed, the cloves are planted in a permanent place. Home seedlings 2 weeks before transplanting are accustomed to street lighting, leaving for a day under the shade of trees.
Vegetative reception
In early spring, cuttings are harvested from perennial plants. The stem is cut off at a distance of 3-5 cm closer to the root from the tillering node. Prepare a bed in partial shade. Sand and humus are scattered over the surface. Dig a shovel onto the bayonet, picking out the roots of the weeds.
Grooves are cut through 15 cm. A hole is pierced with a stick. The stem is placed in a recess, the place where the leaves emerge is slightly heated. Install arcs, containers with water. Cover with a film, shade on top with a non-woven material. After 1, 5-2 months with a positive result, the seedlings are ready to "move" to a new place of residence.
To harden the young, the film is first removed in 2 weeks, leaving the non-woven material on the garden bed. Then the tissue is removed.
Rooting of rosettes in a small amount is carried out directly near adult bushes (layering method). Carefully dig in the grooves, trying not to touch the roots. The stems are laid with a tillering knot, the top with leaves remains on the surface. Moisten with water, sprinkle with loose soil. Reinforce with a wire hairpin.
With this method, it is important to keep the soil in the grooves moist so that the roots of the daughter rosettes actively develop. At the end of summer, the mother's "umbilical cord" is cut, the plants are transplanted to a new place.
Many years have passed since the day I got acquainted with the Blue Spruce carnation. Until now, the bushes do not cease to amaze me with their wondrous beauty, delicate, pleasant aroma during flowering. Fluffy "watches" give joy, sunny mood every day!

Cucumber Herb
Cucumber herb (Latin Borago) Is a monotypic genus of plants of the Boraginaceae family. The plant is also known under the names Borage, Borage, Borago. The only species of the genus is borage.

Wormwood - Female Herb
Among the large number of species of wormwood, "Common wormwood" stands almost alone. Since ancient times, healers and magicians of all stripes have resorted to her help. Common wormwood does not contain active hallucinogenic substances, but at the same time contributes to the supersensible perception of being. In this ability, no other plant can compare with the common wormwood. In addition, it normalizes the hormonal system of women, stimulates the production of sex hormones by the pituitary gland, and heals madness

Syzygium Fragrant, Or Clove Tree
Aromatic syzygium, or Clove tree (lat.Syzygium aromaticum) - an evergreen tree, a representative of the genus Sizigium (Latin Syzygium) of the Myrtaceae family (Latin Myrtaceae). Born in the tropics of South Asia, the plant is distinguished by leathery leaves, on the glossy surface of which jets of tropical showers easily roll down without injuring the leaf plate.
Clove Root
Another weed plant that is unforgivable to ignore is the perennial "Clove root", called by botanists "Gravilat urban". Five yellow petals of relatively large single flowers can be found at the edge of the forest, along dusty country roads, in spruce and alder forests, in your own garden or vegetable garden. Its aromatic root can easily replace the overseas spice called "cloves" in the kitchen, and will also help to overcome a number of ailments
