#but it's grown. in time it's grown roots. stems. segments. it's a plant in its own right.

[orcelito]

Also my ex step family that I lived with from ages 9-17 or so but haven't really spoken to since reached out. They brought food to my dad's place today (we were going through & packing up his closet) and we all hung out for an hour and a half and chatted. And it was surprisingly nice, but also made me ache so very deeply. Bc for my adolescence, this was a family of 6. Then it got cut down to 3 from the divorce. And then I got a taste of how life was, except it was only 5, and also everything is different. I'm such a different person than I was at 17 years old. These people were my family, but I've grown beyond them. A part of me feels like a vulnerable little kid again with them. More of me feels like an assistant manager between jobs with too many exes and an IT degree that's been In Progress for almost 9 years now.

And above it all, my dad is fucking dead. It's an ache that colors everything else in my life right now.

Some extra paragraph breaks added for accessability.

"Cannas—The first lot of rhizomes intended for bedding purposes should be started during the first part of February. These should be the tinest kinds and those which it is desired to increase, because even the smallest pieces having one dormant point, started early, will make plants large enough to occupy 5-inch pots by the time for planting out. Leave as much of the rhizome to each point as possible, as it will send out new growths from the dormant buds between the scales. In the formation of the rhizomes scales are first formed entirely encircling the rhizome, which, as it reaches the light, gradually elongate until true leaves are formed. The main crop may be gone over during the first half of March. Cut up the rhizomes into pieces small enough, so that when the time comes for potting, each piece will fill a 5-inch pot. Before potting they should be put in material which will encourage the formation of roots, and the best for this purpose is sphagnum, sand and rottel1 cow manure in equal parts. When the rhizomes are potted without roots they always turn out unsatisfactory. Some start immediately but the majority remain dormant, and take up valuable space for too long a time. Use boxes to start the rhizomes; place a couple of inches of the material in the bottom, put the pieces on this and cover with at least one inch of the rooting medium. Water only sparingly at first; as the growths push up give full exposure to the light.

Varieties—It is less than 29 years since the principal feature of the Canna was its foliage, the blooms being small and comparatively insignificant. Since that time the development of the flower has been very marked. The beginning was wade in Europe, and from the first of the improved forms numerous fine varieties have been raised in America, so that now anyone can take a few good flowered sorts, pollinate the flowers, and among the resulting progeny will be found some as good, if not better, than the parents. A new race has recently sprung up known as the orchid-flowered Cannas; these have been secured by crossing the Crozy section with the large yellow flowered C. flaccida. The flowers are very large and showy, but the direct cross between the two is not very suitable as a bedder, owing to the soft nature of the segments. There are at present indications of the orchid-flowered section being considerably improved in the substance of the flower, so that ina few years they will be more largely grown.

Varieties with Ornamental Foliage—Some of the varieties are grown for the foliage alone; these are either slightly variegated or with the Jeaves dark red. Black Beauty, raised by Mr. FE. M. Byrnes, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, has for 15 years been by far the best of this class, and likely to remain so. It should never be planted out in a dormant state.

Raising from Seed—The seed covering is very hard and resists the influence of heat and moisture for a long time under ordinary conditions. Germination may be hastened by soaking the seeds in warm water, and also by removing a very small piece of the seed covering. In any case sow early and in a bottom heat of from 75 to 80 degrees.

Storing—Cannas should be lifted from their Summer quarters just as soon as the foliage is blackened by the first frosts. Before this occurs they should be gone over and labeled correctly, noting the color, size and comparative value of seedlings. Use hanging labels, tying them on firmly as near the ground as possible. Cut off the flowering stem about 6 inches from the ground. Put the kinds together. If there be greenhouse accommodation a position under the benches, where they won’t get much drip, will suit them exactly. If greenhouse accommodation is not available they should be closely packed together in boxes, using dry sand, and stowed away where frost will not affect the rhizomes."

(if you live in the southern united states or somewhere else the winters aren't constantly freezing cold, you can leave them in the ground.)

“:Pharmacopoeia: [Pt. 1]

Basil. (Ocimum basilicum). Infusions of Basil are employed in. Voudou magics as a Fertility charm for men, the potion sprinkl'd on the conjugal bed, the phallus liberally anointed. The Herb is traditionally favour'd by the Matron of Abundant Love, Erzulie. Cold infusions made by kneading and pulverization of the Leaves in Water serve as an external invigorator of the Serpent's Inner Fire.

Blackberry. (Rubus fruticosa). Arabian sorcerers esteem'd strong infusions of Blackberry leaves as a basis for love-potions. The ratio of 40 grams of fresh leaves, or 25 of the dried, to a litre of boiling water, is sufficient in strength to deliver the essence of the Thorn'd Herb, although its action, both in terms of pharmacological and sorcerous vigour, is comparatively weak. Thus it is best employed in admixture with such resonant Herbs as Damiana, Muripuama, and petals of Sunflower. The fruits also possess great power: they may be tinctur'd in high-proof spirit with enough Aqua Vitae to cover, and the resulting Amethystine waters used as a foundation for the addition of other Herbs.

Caraway. (Carum carvi). Caraway potions were a common love magic in medieval Europe, having the especial Virtue of addressing fickleness in lovers. The seeds have likewise featured prominently in Love-Potions to ensure Fidelity. Employ a decoction using 35 grams of seeds in 400 millilitres of boiling water. Using seeds which are still green and ripening is preferr'd, as the Upward Solar Fire has not peak'd; such are of great glory.

Chicory. (Cichoryum intybus). Known in medieval folklore as an Herb of Love, the roots and fresh flowers of Chicory were used as an ingredient of potions of Attraction. The Roasted Root is commonly available, though in this form the Radix often loses some of its Virtue for the Philtre through destruction by Fire. The Plant is easily grown and, once established, will repopulate the garden-beds with glad vigour. Of the fresh root, make a decoction of 15 grams in 500 ml. of boiling water; of the roasted root, employ similar proportions, or slightly more, depending on the degree to which the root has been baked, and its age. Of the fresh flower, harbouring a sublime secret, make an infusion with 30 grams of the blossom to 550 ml. of boiling water. Cold water infusions may also be employ'd.

Chocolate. (Theobroma cacao). The generic nomenclature of Our Tree, Theobroma, decrypted, renders the meaning "Food of the Gods". The ancient Aztecs employed the ground, roasted seeds in combination with Cinnamon, Chile Peppers, Piper species, blossoms of Quararibea funebris, Vanilla, and the solanaceous Cup of Gold (Solandra spp.) in their cacahuatl, an aphrodisiac Philtre that was drunk sweet or salty. This philtre has also been employ'd as a vehicle for the sacramental ingestion of Psilocybin Mushrooms. Other species of Theobroma were used in central and south America as admixtures to various phytognostic preparations, such as snuffs and masticatory tobacco mixtures. Pharmacologically, Cacao contains caffeine and theobromine, both stimulants of the Central Nervous System. Cacao in the form of Cocoa readily imparts its blessings to rectified spirits, and is especially exalted in a menstruum of Rum.

Cinnamon. (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Cinnamon's chief action upon the body, when consum'd, is to produce heat, that is, increase circulation, sweating, and raise body temperature. It is an invaluable adjunct to the Love-Philtre for flavouring, and has a tendency to mildly potentiate the effects of other Herbs, probably due to increas'd circulation. For flavouring, it blends well with Herbs of a bitter or resinous nature, such as Damiana, softening their bite on the tongue and, sparingly blended, uplifts their more palatable components. As a general rule, use one whole stick of Cinnamon to every litre of Philtre, increasing as desired. Rectified spirit brings out the goodness of Our Bark in tincture without rendering it overweening. Most commercial Cinnamon is in fact Cassia or Bastard Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), and is not only inferior in Virtue for the Philtre, but somewhat unkind to the body. Demand True Cinnamon from the Apothecary, there can be no substitute for its sublime gifts. By all means avoid consumption of Essential Oil of Cinnamon.

Clary Sage. (Salvia sclarea). Licentious Queen of the Sages, Clary is also known as Muscatel Sage, and its unique scent corresponds in the most beguiling of ways to the Divine Musk of Feminine Arousal. The mere inhalation of the fresh, sticky blossom has been known to evoke Erotic Gnosis of the Green, and may be used in this way as a catalyst for Imaginal Arte. Known for centuries as a stupefacient and aphrodisiac, Clary is a potent adjunct to any Nectareum Succubus. It is identified by the chymist as containing chlorogenic acid, a principle known to arouse the flames of passion. Its virtues are best extract'd in alcohol, in tincture or cordial. For cordial, several fresh-harvested inflorescences may be added during primary maceration or the final "cooling" phase, to a sealed Hermeticus containing 1 litre of the ripening philtre. Alternatively, 30 ml. of strong tincture may be added per 500 ml. of Philtre. Have a care with this Lady, however, as excess may degrade a draught of Venus to the rank of Neptunian stupor. Few Herb-merchants deal in Clary, save for its Essential Oil, as some of the Virtue of the Herb degrades over time after drying. The wildlands of its native habitat in France have been greatly reduc'd, thus are we obliged, by Love and Virtue, to grow this Beauty in our physick-garden, reserving for Her a sunny plot with intermittent dryness and wet. Culture from seed is variable and sometimes prob- lematic, but most nurseries will obtain hardy starts which, when lovingly trans- plant'd, will delight and reward with their arousing potencies.

Coriander. (Coriandrum sativum). Dioscorides recommended Coriander seeds steeped in Wine to increase the semen, and this was also a popular medieval Philtre. In her Modern Herbal, Maude Grieve assures us that "If used too freely, the seeds become narcotic." For nostrums of aphrodisiac capacity, gather the seeds during the final quarter of the lunar cycle, as traditionally they are thought to be inundated with their greatest powers of Venery at this time. The leaves possess similar Virtues, though to a lesser degree.

Fennel. (Foeniculum vulgare). A Philtre compounded of Vervain and Fennel makes a most effective Lust Enchantment. Employ the leaves in infusion; 30 grams to 500 ml. boiling water, steep'd 20 minutes. Fennel also readily imparts its virtues to spirits, and tinctures made from Roots, Leaves, and or Blossoms, are also a profitable adjunct, added freely.

Ginseng. (Panax schinseng). In ancient Chinese pharmacology, a preparation known as Spring Wine was used as an aphrodisiac Philtre, containing, among other specifics, Deerhorn shavings and antler resin, Ginseng, powdered ass, and human remains, infused together in wine for a year. The Root alone may be added to a bottle of spirit and steeped for several months, this precious elixir may be taken in small quantities of 5 ml. on a daily basis, or in slightly larger ones 15-40 ml. for use as a stimulating love-philtre. As Ginseng horticulture is extremely difficult, the Brother or Sister of Arte is advised to purchase Ginseng from a reputable Chinese herbalist. Quality of the Root varies widely on the market, and it is well-worth developing a rapport with the local Rhizotomist. The action of Ginseng on the corpus is extremely warming and stimulating, and, for the purposes of the Love-Philtre, more sympathetic to men. Tinctures and standardized extracts may be employed in Our Brew.

American Ginseng. (Panax quinquefolius). This sister of the Asian Root differs slightly in action but is well worth seeking in wild woodlands for its properties. Segments of fresh root, may be brewed into a decoction with or without other aphrodisiac adjuncts. If using fresh roots, individuals of at least three years in age, or having roots 2 cm. in diameter, should be used. There is much profit in using dried Roots as well: steeping them in spirits for tincture is preferr'd to brewing. The wildcrafted material taken from Nature, as opposed to cultivated American Ginseng, is more potent, and its higher price reflects this, although such wild material may well be the result of poaching or overharvesting, as this offense against Nature is common with Our Root.

Kava Kava. (Piper methysticum). The Warm delights of Kava readily manifest in a Philtre of the Sensualist, as it gives rise to pleasure of touch, conviviality, and general euphoria. Traditional use of the Herb in Oceania is as a Euphoriant Philtre and involves the mastication of the Root pulp and lower stems, often by a virgin youth, then adding the pulp to water or coconut milk for the desired consistency. For a Philtre for two persons, grind 30 grams of the dried Root to powder and add 50 millilitres heavy cream, 75 millilitres of cold water, 125 millilitres of coconut milk, and 1000 mg. of Lecithin. Whisk gently, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Add 35 ml. of rum and whisk again, strain, and serve.

Lettuce. (Lactuca sativa). Lettuces were, from antiquity to medieval times, thought to harbour great powers of arousing erotic desire; ancient Egyptians associat'd the Herb with the virile god Min, He of the Ever-Erect Phallus. The Virtues of the Herb found a natural niche in Love-Philtres and charms of Attraction. Lactucarium, or lettuce-opium, was at one time employ'd as a mild narcotic in the absence of Juice of Poppy. It is with sadness that we witness the degrading of the Lettuce's aphrodisiac powers with its domestication. By nature it is actually a bitter plant, and its bitter principles contribute to its efficacy as a provocateur of Passion. For a Love-Philtre, let the Green Sorcerer shun those sweet, succulent leaves peddl'd as food and hunt the Wild Lettuce in its domain, taking care to harvest the entire plant just prior to bolting. Alternatively, wild- gathered seeds may be planted in the garden, so long as their rustic proclivities are encouraged. The Virtues are concentrated in the plant's crown, the junction of Root and Leaf, and can be extracted into spirit, as well as infusion.

Lovage. (Levisticum officinale). In sorceries of Love and Lust, the fresh Root has been employed as a major ingredient in Philtres of Arousal. Infusions of the leaves, stem, and crown may be made in varying strengths, or the juice of the Root and leaves expressed by pounding. A friendly Companion in the Garden, Lovage is hardy and easily grown, long suffering, and generous of fragrance. As with Lettuce, it is best to gather the Herb before it flowers.

Marjoram. (Origanum marjorana). Hallow'd of the goddesses of Lust as widely as Myrtle and Pomegranate, the Genius of Marjoram is one of the happiest and most promiscuous sprites found in Nature. Both the leaves and blossoms of this fragrant Ally are an indispensable (but easily used to excess) addition to Love and Lust Philtres. For tincturing in alcohol, use a 1:l menstruum to marc ratio; for a simple infusion, employ 13 g. of fresh Herb to 500 ml. of boiling water.

Mistletoe. (Viscum album). A classic medieval Philtre of Vervain and Mistletoe leaves was regarded to inflame Lust. For a tincture, several drops of which are suitable for adding to a Philtre, cover 1 volume of dried leaves with 4 volumes of rectified spirit. Let the Vessel of Tincturing enjoy the solitude of one moon, then filter and save the menstruum. Avoid the Berries; they have a venomous propensity and are better employ'd in leechcraft to combat pernicious tumours and cancers.

Muira Puama. (Liriosma ovata). This potent Tree belongs to the Olive family, known as Oleaceae, from which so many beneficial and virtuous Herbs proceed, so we may take refuge in its noble lineage. In South America it has an ancient reputation as a rouser of the affinities of Priapos, not only contributing erectile engorgement in both sexes but also a mild euphoria. Though a strong decoction of the bark, brew'd long, is of merit, it is far better to tincture the wood in some spirit of alcohol, and employ this in Philtre manufacture, or, in combinațion with other virtuous Herbs, particularly Rose Hips. A standard tincture may be made by macerating the bark in just enough distill'd spirit to cover, for the duration of two moons. One may, with diligent seeking, find tinctures or standardized extracts of Muira Puama on the Apothecary's shelf.

Mullein. (Verbascum spp.). Mullein is a suitable addition to brews of Love and Lust. The leaves may be thus employed, but the flowers, when available, are doubly good. An infusion of blossoms may be made with 22 g. of the flowers, steep'd in 500 ml. of boiling water; use the same proportions with leaves.

Orchid (Orchis spp.). Occasionally Orchis mascula or Early Purple Orchid in some regions carried associations with Death, but far more often it was an Herb of Lust and Attraction, much like its other Orchid-kin. Pounded or ground, the thriving portion of the Root was a common ingredient of Love and Lust Philtres. Long regarded as a multiplier of semen, Orchid brews, serv'd up in the great Salep Houses of Europe, once rivaling the popularity of coffee. The blossoms may also be employed for these purposes. For prepared Salep root, make a decoction of 10 grams of the root to 750 ml. water; bring to boil, simmer in a covered vessel for 15 minutes. For flowers, infusions are best. Depending on the species, use 7-23 flowers, steeped in a 400 ml. of boiling water.

Periwinkle (Vinca minor). A common medieval love-powder was comprised of equal parts dried Leaves of Cinquefoil, Vervain, and Periwinkle; and the Herb was also frequently used in Lust-Philtres. 5 grams of this powder are added to 750 ml. of wine, then left to steep for 12 hours, then strained before serving. Extracts of Vinca and isolated chymical constituents are currently enjoying a revival, and some of these preparations are attributed with aphrodisiac qualities. However, due to the guileful and often deadly nature of many plants in the Dogbane Family (of which Our Herb is an esteem'd member) caution is advis'd.

Rose (Rosa spp.). Like Cinnamon, Rose may benefit the Love-Philtre by addition as a sympathetic and potentiating flavouring agent. Associated with Love and Lust from time immemorial, the buds and blossoms are in every way suitable and sympathetic to Our Arte. Its Virtue is especially suited to cordials, numerous fresh petals added during the cooling phase. Only the most fragrant blossoms should be added, with care taken to gather from pure plants that have not been infested with deleterious chymical pesticides. The magician is directed to hardy varieties that do well without them, such as rambling roses and climbers that have retain'd much of their ability to fight off pests. One may also use Rose Water, the hydrosol which is the aqueous product of rose-oil distillation, taking care not to heat. True hydrosols, labeled as such, are best, but one may also use food-grade Rose Water if such is the only option. Additionally, Rose Otto (steam distill'd Essential Oil of Rose) may be added in the quantity of 3-11 drops per 500 ml. of cordial or Philtre, to great benefit.

Saffron (Crocus sativus). The stigmas of this Holy Crocus are an excellent Cordial and proven Exhilarant; the Herb has been shown to have estrogenic effects in women. As an amorous Philtre, steep 6-10 stigmas infused in a 125 ml. of boiling water. Saffron can also manifest as a poison, damaging the Central Nervous System and kidneys. 10-15 grams of stigmas is consider'd a fatal dose.

Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum multiflorum). In Medieval Europe, the tiny white flowers of the scented variety were used in Love and Lust Philtres. A generous handful of these fresh blooms should be added to 400 ml. of cold water, steeped patiently for six hours then strained, to make a cool infusion. The flowers are especially useful in combination with Lettuce and Chicory.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus). A piquant Philtre of Lust was brew'd by the ancient Maya from an extract of the petals, and Sunflower was used as a love and lust charm in England and the American Colonies until relatively recently. Like Clary, the flower petals contain chlorogenic acid. The virtues of the Solar Herb are best extracted in mild spirits such as white wine or mead, in the amount of 40 grams of the fresh petals to 750 ml. of spirit, but if one has access to large fields of the flowers, infusions may be made freely to one's heart's content, in such strengths as befits the work and the capacity of the Cucurbite.

Terror of the Earth (Tribulus terrestris). This enthorn'd member of the Caltrop family, belligerent in appearance, and also called Puncture Vine, is becoming increasingly known to Natural Magicians as a provocateur of hormonal tides, as well as a kindly Ally of the Heart. As a Philtre for the Delights of Venus, the fruit, roots and leaves are mixed together in a pot with enough water to cover and boiled for seven minutes. Strained and cooled, the mixture is drunk twice a day. Like Periwinkle, prepared extracts of Tribulus are now appearing in varied forms on the Apothecary's Shelf, employed especially for promoting sustain'd erection in men with increased sensation, as its action is androsterogenic.

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia). Besides its supreme value as a flavouring, Vanilla possess magical and pharmacological tendencies toward Venerie. While ready- made extracts are easily available from Herb Merchants, they often dishonour the Genius of the plant by adulteration with vanillin. Behold, a Bean without guile: one may glorify her sovereignty in tincture form to the betterment of all Works. Some beans are now available organically-grown. Its virtues are especial- ly extalted in the form of a Plant Syrup.

Woodruff, Sweet (Galium odorata). The Master of the Woods, as it is known to the Curren, is small in stature, growing in verdant whorls deep in the shade. Long valued for its powers of Peace, Triumph, and Protection in Battle, Our Fragrant Herb gives rise to a Tonick of good physick and great value, in every way uplifting to the spirits. The Stems, Leaves, and Flowers of this member of the Madder Family, when dried, grow more fragrant with age, and with wisdom may be tinctur'd, well-pack'd, with sufficient Spirits of Wine. The resulting coumarin-rich medicine is then used in small amounts to fortify other Nectareum Succubi when additional potency is requir'd.

Yohimbe (Corynanthe yohimbe). The bark of this West African Tree has long been used in ecstatic rites of sexual magics, marriage and nubility rituals. Of late its powers have been increasingly exploit'd by allopathic medicine for combating impotence. More than sexual arousal and erection, Yohimbe also contributes a component of ecstatic euphoria unparalleled in other Herbs. Use of the bark must be attend'd with caution, however, as it neutralizes the Monoamine oxidase enzyme which, by the artifice of Nature, destroy certain amines which would otherwise be hostile to the body. Thus a strict taboo on certain foods should be observed for twelve hours prior to and following use of the Philtre. These include cheeses, wines and beer, canned fish, chocolate, pineapple, bananas, as well as amine-bearing principles common to visionary plants such as mescaline and dimethyltryptamine. Alcoholic beveragesare ill-advised. A simple Philtre of Lust can be made by boiling one handful of Yohimbe bark in one litre of water for 30 minutes, straining, and adding 1000 mg. Ascorbic Acid. This should be allow'd to cool and drunk by the cupful until desired ecstasis is achiev'd. Standardized extracts of Yohimbe are also of Great Value.”

Concerning the Aqueous Cunning of the Potion and Its Praxis in the Green Arte Magical

R&D - Zandalari Alchemical Notes - “Sea Stalks”

“Sea Stalks”

Sea Stalks are some of the most magically interesting and plentiful herbs harvestable along the shores of both Zandalar and Kul Tiras. They are associated with a sentimental ritual which is, bizarrely, shared between both sets of seafaring peoples. A naturally occurring magical bond exists between both stalk and flower, feeding the latter from the former over impossible distances. It is folk practice for a sailor departing on a long journey to extend the severed flower to their loved ones, taking the stalk with them on their journey; If the ship is destroyed, the stalk will be drowned in seawater. The flower will die, indicating to their loved ones their fate.

APPEARANCE) Sea Stalks grow in fledgling patches of ten (10) to twenty (20) stalks, encased in waxy flares of grass immediately discernable from the sand from which it sprouts. Young stalks are pale in color and topped with a thumb-sized, off-brown bud tightly-bound shut. The tuberous stalk will grow to roughly twice its length when it begins to bloom and the pod will have grown to roughly one-and-a-half its original mass. A Sea Stalk is ready for harvest when its flower has bloomed and its petals demonstrate a pale pink hue toward the center with darker magenta coloration along the edges. A typical flower has five thumbnail-sized petals which are rounded on the outside. Its pistil is short and close to the inside of the plant, whereas its stamen all rise high beyond the petals, powder-pink and outstretched toward the sky. The stalk beneath is thick and plasticky, comparable to a straw, and colored a very deep, dark-green.

The flower is beautiful and deceptively sturdy. The stalk itself is extremely hydrated, crunching when bitten into and resembling garden-variety celery. The fluid inside is distastefully sour.

LOCATION) The Sea Stalk patches can be discovered plentifully along any coastline in Zandalar and Kul Tiras and are found equally on sandy and rocky terrain, but rarely within the reach of the tide.

HARVESTING/USES) A Sea Stalk is an extremely survivable plant, coming up in surrounding patches like crabgrass whether or not it has been overharvested. While it is ideal to wait until the flower has bloomed to attempt to harvest the stalks, an immature stalk can be plucked and utilized in a pinch. Instead of cutting the stem, seize the base of the stalk closes to its sprouted grass between thumb and pointer finger and gently pull until it is uprooted. Pluck the roots from the bottom of the stalk and immediately store in a wet place. It is not necessary to separate the flower from the plant at this point and it is, in fact, advisable to keep an inventory of each stalk’s bloom.

Given the state of arcane understanding amongst the natives of both great nations compared to the understanding of the Horde, it can be safely assumed that the true magical potential of the Sea Stalks plant remains unexplored. However, it can be currently found in brews wherein versatility is required, especially in potions which demand to invoke its mystical properties. ‘The Potion of Rising Death’, ‘The Sea Mist Potion’ and ‘Demitri’s Draught of Deception’ are only a sample of its more popular uses on both continents.

Beyond being an indicator of the plant’s readiness-for-harvest, the flower serves no culinary or alchemical purpose; though it might be dried and utilized for its appealing pigmentation. However, due to the department’s developing understanding of the Sea Stalk and its uses, I must again encourage that the flowers be accounted for in some fashion if at all possible. If the flower dies, the connection to the stalk will sever and the plant will attempt to repair itself and produce another flower.

STORAGE) As previously stated, the Sea Stalk is an extremely hardy plant, survivable in any situation wherein it can continue to receive hydration. Trauma to the underside of the stalk will, however, prevent transpiration. If properly harvested as instructed in this document, place the stalk in a container half-filled with fresh water, bottom-submerged and severed half facing up. Several stalks can be stored in the same container or in a bound-bundle as long as the water-contents of their container are being monitored. Sea Stalk can be used in its whole stalk or clipped in segments from the top-down; The plant will not grow beyond where it has been initially snipped. The survival of the flower relies on the survival of the stalk but not the other way around. If necessary, the flower can be stored in all reasonable conditions.

As of the time of this documentation, we have witnessed no death or withering of any healthy and properly-stored Sea Stalk samples nor any sign of decay.

Mothers Day Greetings

I propose, finally, that you add to the earth, or that you shower on the leaves, iron ch elates and diverse micro nutrients in order to envision the nonappearance of iron and as such have greener leaves. Do this once consistently.

If you need a porch nursery free of weeds, watch the going with tips:

http://www.flowerdeliveryuk.org.uk/mothers-day-flowers/

In massifs of hedges, seedlings, desert plant gardens, shake lanes, etc., before planting, place an adversary of weed work. On the work, it widens pine, Chinese or shaded shake layers to achieve a snappy culmination.

Another decision is sewing or mulching. It contains gaining the ground at the foot of the plants with bark of pine, shake, straw, mulch, peat, mulch, compost ... Compelling so seeds don't develop.

Enduring Herbs, for instance, Gama, Sedge, Cahoot, Correlate, etc. They are difficult to execute since they weave again and again. If you start them by hand or with a device, having proof, they will be incapacitated and each time they will turn out less without relying upon phosphate-type herbicides.

Water the day going before weeding with the objective that the ground is moist and thusly expel the weeds even more viably.

Trees, hedges, vines and roses are pruned in winter, yet amid the time you can in like manner, and should, make light interventions to clear out disastrous segments, for instance,

Dry, broken, debilitated branches.

Branches that upset the passage of people. Branches that have grown a lot (pacifiers). Ricochet back that may have risen up out of a comparable root. Blossoms and past characteristic items. Branches that have left completely green in the variegated plants. If you don't, you will lose the yellow or white variegated leaves.

The variety Hydrangea incorporates elaborate plants, ordinarily known as hydrangeas, local to southern and eastern Asia (explicitly China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas and Indonesia) and America. The best assorted variety of types of this class is found in the regions of China, Japan and Korea.

Most are hedges somewhere in the range of one and three meters high, some are little trees and others are vines that can achieve thirty meters climbing trees.

They can be deciduous or evergreen, anyway the most broadly developed, which are types of mild atmospheres, are deciduous. It contains 201 species portrayed and of these, just 43 acknowledged.

The lily of the valley or additionally called Convivial Somalis (logical name), is a perpetual herbaceous plant that frames broad states, isolating its rhizomes that send goads. The stems are 15-30 cm tall with a couple of leaves of 10-25 cm long. The botanical stems have two leaves and the blooms are orchestrated in a bunch of 5-15 roses. The blossoms are anthropomorphic and bisexual. The corolla has 6 tepals and has a chime shape, white or pink, sweetly perfumed. The natural product is a berry.

In 1 to 2 weeks, the stalks will start to push out little white roots into the water. After 3 to 4 weeks, the roots will have grown large enough for the plant to be planted into soil, in a container.

Once the cutting has rooted and established itself in a container, you can harden it off by moving it outdoors in the container for about a week and then you can plant it out into the ground.

Alternatively, keep it in a container but plant it out into a larger container. You can keep the container indoors or outdoors, depending on your preference.

Within two or three months, your Lemongrass will be big enough to start harvesting!

How to Grow Lemongrass from Seed

To grow Lemongrass from seed, you can start seeds in trays indoors or plant them directly into the garden. It is best to plant Lemongrass seeds in the spring and summer, when it is warm and there is no chance of frost.

Seeds will need full sun and well-draining, nitrogen-rich soil. If you are planting in a tray or directly into the ground, plant each seed one hand length apart (about 5 or 6 inches).

Water the soil well before planting and do not cover the seeds with soil as they need sunlight to germinate. Sprinkle a light dusting of soil over them and then dampen it with a spray bottle to settle the seeds.

Keep the soil moist. The seeds will sprout and tiny seedlings will emerge within about 3 weeks. Once the seedlings are a couple of inches tall and have two or three true leaves, they can be transplanted to individual containers or out into the garden.

How to Divide Lemongrass to Transplant

Lemongrass grows in dense clumps, with numerous stalks growing from the same base. As the plant matures and the stalks multiply, you can divide the plant up into sections and replant each section as a new plant.

Spring is the best time of year to divide Lemongrass but you can also do it through the summer and early autumn. Lemongrass is dormant in the winter and it is best not to divide it when it is not actively growing.

To divide a mature Lemongrass plant, break it up at the base and take away some stems, ensuring that each stem comes away with an intact portion of the root.

You can break a few stalks away from the edges of the clump, at the base, or you can pull up the whole clump and break it apart into two or more sections.

Tightly tangled roots may require a spade or knife to separate. Don’t worry about cutting the roots, as long as each stalk has a bit of root attached at the bottom, they will grow just fine.

Plant your separated divisions into individual containers or directly into the ground, one to two feet apart.

How to Care for Lemongrass

Caring for your Lemongrass plants is simple and easy once you have the basics right!

Soil

Lemongrass grows well in almost any kind of soil but it will do best in rich soils that contain a lot of organic matter and nitrogen. It also needs the soil to drain well. Amend soils with compost and high nitrogen fertilizer, as well as sand or Perlite if needed. For planing in containers, a mix comprising one third potting soil, one third compost and one third sand or Perlite will work well.

Water

Lemongrass needs regular watering. A good rule of thumb is to stick your finger into the soil at the base of the plant, up to the second knuckle. If the soil is dry, the plant needs watering.

Water often but avoid letting the soil become waterlogged, especially in pots or containers. Make sure pots and containers can drain freely. Lemongrass is not a fussy plant and will do well with minimal attention. It can dry out properly once in a while and be just fine.

Pruning

In cooler climates, Lemongrass will hibernate in the winter and stop actively growing. This is the best time to prune it. Cut it right back, leaving only two or three inches of growth about the ground. It will grow back thicker, with numerous tender stalks in the spring.

In hotter climates, Lemongrass will grow year-round as a perennial. It can be pruned back hard (to two or three inches from the soil) towards the end of the winter, as spring is approaching.

Regular harvesting and occasional pruning throughout the year will keep it growing thick and lush.

Fertilizing

Lemongrass does not need a lot of fertilizer. Mulching once a year with organic compost will be enough for it to thrive.

If needed, you can add some high nitrogen fertilizer once a year too. It is best to mulch and/or fertilize it at the start of the growing season, in the spring.

Managing Pests and Diseases

The Citronella oil in Lemongrass is a natural deterrent to insects and pests, making it one of the least susceptible plants in your garden!

Very occasionally, it may host some Yellow Sugarcane Aphids. If you see any yellow or brown patches on the leaves, these little critters may be to blame.

Aphids can be quickly dispatched with a blast from the hose, which will dislodge and wash them away. Persistent infestations can be treated with natural remedies that include an Organic Neem Oil Insecticide or natural soaps.

There are very few diseases that affect Lemongrass, aside from a fungus known as Lemongrass Rust (Puccinia nakanishikii). This will only occur in very damp or wet conditions and can be identified by its characteristic reddish-brown to yellow streaks, which appear on the leaves.

If you see these streaks on your plant, cut away the affected areas and dispose of the leaves away from other plants. Allow the plant to dry out a bit and avoid watering from above, onto the leaves. Spacing, pruning and thinning out the plant will aid air circulation and prevent rust from spreading.

How to Harvest & Preserve Lemongrass

Harvesting

Harvest your Lemongrass when the leaves are about a foot tall. To harvest leaves, cut them off leaving at least an inch at the bottom of the plant to continue growing. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, adding flavor to cooked foods or steeped in hot water to make fragrant Lemongrass Tea.

The edible portion of the plant is the shoots (this part looks like a green onion and is softer and slightly bulbous) at the bottom of the stem. These are tender at the core and have the best flavour for cooking. Shoots can be quite fibrous and chewy so some recipes call for them to be removed after cooking. Thicker shoots are less fibrous, so harvest them when they are at least 1/2 inch in diameter.

To harvest the shoots, use a knife to cut individual stalks off, at ground level. If you want them to grow back, leave at least half an inch of the stem above ground level, with the roots intact.

If you do not want them to grow back, cut the stalks closer to the ground or pull them out completely and cut the roots off. This will give you the most stem and the greatest yield.

You can also remove the whole clump from the ground and wash off the roots. Cut the roots off at the base of the stalk. This is a good method if your plants have matured and will be dying off in cold winter. You can keep some stalks with the root intact to replant in the spring if you wish.

Preserving

Once harvested, use Lemongrass fresh or preserve it for later use by drying or freezing. The leaves and the stems both dry and freeze well, keeping their flavour for up to 12 months.

Drying

To air dry Lemongrass leaves, cut them off about 6 inches from the base and tie them into loose bunches. Hang the bunches upside down in a cool, dry and dark place.

In about a week, they should be completely dry and stiff. Once they have dried out completely, you can cut them into small segments and store them in an airtight container in a dark place.

Stems can be air-dried in the same manner or cut into segments and placed on a wire rack to dry. Drying them on the wire rack in a single layer works better than hanging them in bunches.

If your climate is very humid, some leaves or stems may develop mold before they have completely dried. This indicates that your climate is too humid for air drying and you will need to discard the moldy parts and dry the rest in the oven or dehydrator.

To dry in the oven, set it to the lowest heat setting and leave the door open. Place your Lemongrass on a baking sheet or tray and set it in the oven for two or three hours. The oven can be used to dry both leaves and stems. It is best to do your leaves separately from the stems, as the stems will take longer to dry out.

Freezing

Lemongrass can be frozen in beeswax wraps, freezer bags or containers. The stems can be frozen whole or sliced. To use them, simply defrost and use as you would use fresh Lemongrass.

Conclusion

Lemongrass is a wonderful addition to the garden, kitchen, and medicine cabinet. The home uses and benefits of Lemongrass are many and varied, making it an ideal plant to grow yourself at home.

It grows abundantly and with ease in most climates, provided it is protected from extremely cold weather. Lemongrass grows well both indoors and outdoors and it can be grown successfully from seed and cuttings. With the right basic conditions and nutrients, it will thrive with little attention and provide a bountiful yield.

Plant & Trees Nursery!

A nursery is the place plants are grown monetarily, either to be sold clearly to the all-inclusive community or to various retailers. A nursery is a key need for development and plant spread techniques and practices is the focal point of nurseries. Enriching plants may be multiplied by seeds, yet consistently alluring cultivars are incited vegetatively by developing, joining together layering, or other nursery systems. The fate of the nursery depends upon the idea of mother plants. A conventional nursery business visionary does not depend upon others for the acquisition of mother plants. Mother plants are required for both scion and stock. Mother plants should be picked dependent on its genetic properties and diverse factors like openness and acclimation to the creating condition. Nurseries are incredibly work raised. Yet a couple of strategies have been mechanized and modernized, others have not. It remains significantly fantastical that all plants treated comparatively meanwhile will arrive at a comparative condition together, so plant care is required. You can Buy blueberry bush online at very affordable prices exclusively available online on a few websites and Raintree Nursery is the one available.

Strategies for inducing

Plant multiplication is the path toward making new plants from a variety of sources, seeds, cuttings, suckers, and distinctive plant parts. It can in like manner be implied as the phony or customary dispersal of plants. Basically, there are two strategies for the spread which are:

Sexual procedure for instance by seeds

Vegetative procedure

Sexual procedure

Developing seeds and spores can be used for spread through sowing. Seeds are normally made from sexual age inside a creature gatherings, in light of the fact that genetic recombination has occurred, a plant created from seeds may have particular characteristics structure its people. A couple of creature types produce seeds that require remarkable conditions to grow, for instance, nippy treatment. The seeds of various Australian plants and plants from southern Africa and the American west require smoke or fire to grow. Some ornamental plants species like Araucaria don't make seeds until they accomplish improvement which may take various years and a couple of plants don't convey seed using any and all means. View some apple trees available to be purchased and get them at an insignificant expense. There are many varieties of plants available like you can buy strawberry plants online and there are many strawberry plants for sale also available online.

Techniques used

The seeds are first planted on a seedbed either by entering the system or by conveying methodology

It is then watered step by step

Following three weeks, the rose seedlings will be transplanted into a polythene pot that has to puncture at the base for the exhausting of excess water.

Vegetative System

Enhancing plants have different segments for a vegetative spread, a part of these have been abused by horticulturists and cultivators to copy or clone plants rapidly. People moreover use techniques that plants don't use, for instance, tissue culture and joining together. plants are made using material from a singular parent and everything considered there are no exchange of innate material, appropriately vegetative spread methods regularly produce plants that are undefined to the parent. Vegetative age uses plant parts, for instance, roots stems and leaves in some embellishing plants, seeds can be conveyed without treatment and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant. As such expansion through abiogenetic seeds or apomixes is agamic duplication anyway not spread. There are many organic product trees available to be purchased online which you can experience nowadays

Scarcely any Frameworks for vegetative spread consolidate;

Layering

Joining

Striking or cuttings

Suckers

Division

Littler scale inducing (Tissue culture)

Layering: This is a strategy for extravagant plant inciting in which a piece of an airborne stem creates joins while still associated with the parent plants and isolates as a free plant. Layering has created as standard techniques for vegetative inciting of different species in indigenous living spaces. Layering is furthermore utilized by horticulturists to spread appealing plants. Regular layering ordinarily happens when a branch contacts the ground, whereupon it produces outward roots. At a later stage, the relationship with the parent plant is detached and another plant is conveyed along these lines.

Procedure: The green layering process usually incorporates harming the target zone to reveal the inner stem and on the other hand applying to build up blends. In-ground layering, the stem is bowed down and the target territory shrouded in the earth. This is done in plant nurseries in a pantomime of normal layering by various plants which bow over and contact the tip on the ground, along these lines, everything thought of it as creates roots and when disconnected, can continue as an alternate plant. In either case, the setting up method may take from a large portion of a month to a year. Its elbowroom is that the induced piece continues tolerating water and enhancements from the parent plant while it is forming roots. It is used to expand plants that structure pulls continuously or for multiplying broad species. While in air layering, the target area is harmed and a while later incorporated in a moistness holding wrapper, which is also included in a clamminess obstacle, for instance, polyethylene film. Building up hormone is normally associated with inclination the harmed zone to create roots. Right, when sufficient roots have created from the damage, they originate from the parent plant is removed and planted. It takes around three months for the new plants to finish up create.

Joining together

This is a green technique whereby tissues from one plant are installed into those of another with the objective that the two-game plans of vascular tissues may solidify. Vascular joining is called INOSCULATION. A great part of the time, one plant is picked for its root and is called ROOTSTOCK, the other plant is picked for its stems, leaves, sprouts are called SCION. The scion contains the perfect characteristics to be replicated in future creation by the stock or scion plant. In stem joining together, a commonplace joining technique, a shoot of a picked, needed plant cultivar is joined onto a supply of another sort. In another customary structure called BUD Joining together, a lazy side bud is joined onto the stem of another stock plant, and when it has inosculated adequately, it is asked to create by pruning off the stem of the stock plant essentially over the as of late joined bud. For powerful joining to occur, the vascular cambium tissues of the stock or scion plants must be set in contact with each other. The two tissues must be kept alive until the join has "TAKEN". Normally a period of a couple of weeks productive joining just requires that a vascular affiliation each occur between the unified tissues. joints confined by joining are not as strong as ordinarily formed joints, so a physical weak point normally still occurs at the join together, in light of the fact that simply the as of late molded tissue inosculate with each other. The present essential tissue (or wood) of the stock plant does not entwine

Cutting

Plant cuttings generally called striking or cloning, is a strategy for vegetatively inciting plants in which a touch of the stem or establishment of the source plant is set in a fitting medium, for instance, damp soil, getting a ready-mix, coir or shake wool. The cutting produces new roots, stems or both and consequently transforms into another plant free of the parent. Regularly, striking is a clear system in which a little proportion of the parent plant is ousted. This ousted piece called the cutting; is then asked to create as a self-governing plant. Since most planting cuttings will have no root course of action of their own, they are presumably going to fail miserably from an absence of hydration if the right condition is not met. They require a moist medium, which, nevertheless, can't be excessively wet in the event that the cutting rot. different media are used in this technique, including yet not limited to soil, perlite, vermiculite, coir, shake downy, broadened mud pellets and even water has given the right conditions. The earth should be soggy (this is all things considered techniques setting the cuttings under a plastic sheet or in another bound space where the air can be kept wet) and fragmented shade should be offered, moreover to shield the expelling from drying. After cuttings are placed in a medium they are watered totally with a fine mist, for instance, from a gush sprayer or a shower mistle bottle. After the hidden watering, the medium is allowed to for all intents and purposes dry out before soaking yet again, with the hope to keep the earth spongy anyway not wet and waterlogged. A fine haze is used to go without irritating plants.

In addition, the cutting ought to be taken adequately, it must be at the right time. In gentle countries stem cuttings of energetic wood should take in spring, of hardened wood they need to take in winter. It must have the right size and proportion of foliage; the length of stem cuttings of fragile wood ought to be between 5-15cm and of hardwood between 20-25cm. Also, two-thirds of the foliage of sensitive wood cuttings should be emptied. For hardwood stem cutting, complete foliage removal is indispensable. If the plant is most likely not going to create, by then a joining hormone to 'engage' the plant to create and create may be administered e.g Leader of the Philippines. Notwithstanding the way that not essential, a couple blends may be used to propel the advancement of roots through the hailing activity of plant hormone auxin, and is helpful with especially hard plant species e. g Indole-3-butyric destructive [IBA] used as a powder, liquid course of action or gel. it might be associated with the cut tip of the cutting or as a foliar sprinkle. Nectar, anyway it doesn't contain any plant hormones, can similarly make a practical root substance.

The weights of 100 seeds are about 10–13 g. By weight, they are 60% cotyledon, 32% coat and 8% embryonic root and shoot. Cultured cotton varieties’ fiber is mostly white. However, some varieties have colored fiber, which may be brown, green or creamy-colored. Technological properties of cotton fiber depend on the following values: fiber length, thinness, strength, breaking length, elasticity, crimpiness, and maturity. Cottonseed, which must be removed from the fibers during “ginning,” is processed into oil by crushing, and is also used as a supplement for dairy feed, especially in California. Cottonseed oil is used in the industry of food (as an ingredient of margarines) and in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. It is also used for the production rubber and plastics.
