Beautiful white flowers - dope

If you want to grow beautiful white flowers on your site - dope is at your service. This plant has a serious minus - it is very poisonous. If you are not deterred by the fact that such dangerous flowers grow near you , dope can be grown without problems. White "gramophones" are a danger except for children who do not understand the word "no" yet. And also if there is a chance that the plant will get into the cattle feed. If you can exclude both these options, boldly grow these flowers. Datura, whose photo is capable of conquering the heart of the most stale florist, is called "datura" in Latin.

Planting and care

Dathur is unpretentious. The food and moisture it provides is not difficult. Often you can notice the lush flowers of dope that accidentally grew on piles of fresh compost. Loose soil, containing a lot of ash and having regular watering, is the optimal solution. Therefore, you can plant dope in the so-called "pits" for planting. They should be deep enough to be able to feed these flowers well. Datura, landing which is carried out to a depth of up to seventy centimeters, still needs good drainage. For this, the pits should be a little more than half a meter in diameter. You can grow dope and in containers. And they should not be smaller in size than pits. And yet in containers you will inevitably get smaller flowers. Datura, grown in pots, can then be carefully transferred to the open ground. Feed the plant with mineral and organic fertilizers - they will help it bloom more luxuriantly and provide brightness and smoothness to the foliage. Every day you can water a lot of dope with hard water. If the soil is acidic, one-time application of the lime solution will not hurt. Dissolve one gram of this substance in one liter of water and gently drizzle it, trying not to hit the stems and leaves. If a spider mite appears , it can be removed with a soap solution. In parallel, it is necessary to tear off and burn all damaged leaves.

Reproduction of the Buddha

If you like that on your site there are magnificent white flowers, the dope can be multiplied easily to drop it off somewhere else. The first method is seed reproduction. First you need to grow seedlings. To do this, in February or March put the seeds in boxes. And in May, planted young shoots in the open ground. It is important to make sure that the plant is not subjected to large temperature changes - the freezing will finally ruin it. Be prepared for the seeds to come up slowly. The heating of the sprouts with a lamp helps a lot. Water should be very modest, dreading both the excess and the lack of water. You can use a growth stimulant. Reproduction by cuttings begin in the summer. They are rooted in a nutrient substrate, and then cut off. Winter cuttings should be carried out in the warmth. In the ground they can be planted after freezing no longer threatens dope. In any case, this plant can not survive the winter in the open ground. It should be excavated, kept in cool rooms, and again planted in the spring.
