Reproduction and use of the beneficial properties of acid

Botanical characteristics of acid

Oxalis belongs to perennial herbaceous plants of the oxalis family. These plants reach a height of no more than 15 cm. Oxalis has a thin rhizome, branched and creeping in the horizontal direction. The root leaves of the plant are located on fluffy and long petioles. The flowers of the sorrel are small, white with lilac veins. In summer, apart from these flowers, you can see small flowers on short peduncles practically on the ground. Oxalis blooms in late spring - early summer. Seed ripening occurs in the middle of summer. The sour fruit is an egg-shaped capsule, which itself throws out seeds.

Oxalis is very often found in Siberia, the Caucasus, the Non-Black Earth Region and in the European part of the CIS. This plant prefers to grow on fertile moist soil, in alder, birch and coniferous forests, on ravines, on sandy loam and loamy soils.

Reproduction of acid

Acid can be propagated by tubers that form near the taproot of already old plants. Separated tubers should be planted in pots in an amount of no more than 10 pieces per pot and covered lightly with earth. You need to plant seedlings depending on when it is necessary for the plant to bloom. It will take about a month from the moment of planting to the development of the plant.

Oxalis can multiply with the help of leaves. To do this, you need to cut off the leaves with a small handle and root them in a vessel with water. You can use plain wet sand instead of water. As soon as the roots appear, you can immediately plant the cuttings in a pot.

Acid seeds can also be propagated. In this case, you need to sow seeds on the ground and do not sprinkle them. The soil is moistened by spraying, in no case with a jet.

Acid care

For kislitsa, bright and lighted places are chosen. However, the plant can grow in partial shade, but not for long, because due to the constant shade, the plant will lose its decorative leaves. In a place with direct sunlight, the plant can get burned.

Kislitsa does not need any special growing conditions. Summer is a time for abundant watering of the plant, but do not allow stagnant water in plant pots. Oxide does not tolerate excess moisture, so it is better to water less than more. Closer to autumn, sour cherry should be watered less than in summer, but already in winter, you should just keep the soil moist.

The soil around the acid plant must be loosened and fertilized with mineral fertilizers. Fertilizers must be applied in the active growth stage every 20 days.

For acid sour, you need to prepare the soil by mixing sod soil with leaf, humus and sand in equal proportions. Young plants need to be transplanted every year, and older ones must be transplanted every two or even three years.
