Cyclamen - by mail
Once they sent me on the catalog of seeds of various colors, including seeds of cyclamen. Once upon a time I read that when grilled from seeds, cyclamen must be kept in a dark and cool place until he is good! In October-November, he prepared the soil from peat, sand, humus and a little leaf land, mixed well and distributed in pots with drainage. In each pot, planted on the seed covered with a dark nonwoven web and top braid. The pot put under the bath and for some time forgotten.
Leaflets from Gorshchkov
In two months, I suddenly remembered my cyclamen landings, looked under the bath and was surprised, seeing thin stalks in the pots with leaflets (one for each stem). Then I rearranged them into a warm bright place. Water from the pallet and the week still covered the film overnight. Unfortunately, only three remained from seven seeds. When it appeared three leaflers on each stem - two more sprouts died, and one only remained.
I cared for him as a small child, and finally my cyclamen grew up. The leaves were not very much, but buds with lowered heads began to appear. Although they say that in the first year the cyclaman does not bloom, but one day beautiful raspberry flowers bloomed - like butterflies stuck over patterned leaves in a pot. They were nine pieces.
Life goes on
Then I decided to make pollination so that I had my seeds. Perhaps cyclamen self-pollined, but I did everything myself; Every morning seven days in a row. To my joy, everything turned out. Now on four thin stems on one piece of leaf, and I will look forward to when the raspberry butterflies will be rescued over my pots.
