For the first time I saw these cute flowers about 15 years ago in the mother-in-law. She lived in the Volgograd region, and we went to her every summer every summer. There I saw brightly scarlet flowers on the flower bed, they closed in the evening, and in the morning Aleli again on the flower beds. She did not know the names, and I, too, at that time did not very much disassembled in the colors, so I came up with the "scarlet flower", remembering the famous fairy tale.
I collected the seeds of these colors and put in my garden for the next year. Two years later we went back there, and I, having seen these flowers at the neighbors of the mother-in-law, asked about the title. It turned out that they call them a zhirovka. Indeed, the leaves and stem in Portulak are plump and juicy. After reading some literature about the colors, I learned that this is -port. And now in my garden every summer, these flowers bloom and please us. Of course, it happens yellow, and red, but I'm more like a scarlet color.
Seeds I get my ownIn April, I sow them to seedlings in a greenhouse, a little - slightly sprinkle with lightweight earth. Seeds are very small, and if they sow deeply, they may not climb. Seedlings land in Kashpo, when the threat of frosts.
Once upon a time, Irga grew near the track, but the tree was dried, we cut it into a height of 1-1.5 m from the ground and the trunks strengthened Kashpo. The trunks painted, and in the bowls we sit our portulak. It looks very impressive.
Special care portulak does not require, the main thing is to water and feed and feed. Portulak drought-resistant, so it is not worth overwhelming the seedlings, in order to avoid defeat black leg.
For subordinate I use liquid mineral fertilizer. So that flowering was abundant using a growth stimulator. Spraying I spend after disembarking seedlings per permanent place.
