Pro jedlé plody se pěstuje v mnoha tropických a subtropických oblastech světa. V řadě míst, kam byl nopál obecný zaveden, se začal samovolně šířit jako plevel. Kvete žlutými, oranžovými nebo červenými květy a jeho bobule jsou kvalitním ovocem, lze z nich rovněž pálit alkohol. Rostlina se používá i v léčitelství. Opuntia ficus-indica is a domesticated cactus that has been used for food for at least 9000 years. The plant’s edible uses have been tied to the Christopher Columbus and the Mayan Indians. Also known as prickly pears or tunas, the fruits have a sweet taste somewhat resembling watermelon. The name ficus, which means fig, also has to do with the plant’s fruit. But this has created some controversy because it is not actually a fig. The pads are also eaten as a vegetable that can be made into cactus salad, added to omelets and more. While the pads of various opuntia species are used for this purpose, ficus-indica is the most popular. These edible uses make opuntia somewhat of a saving grace for arid areas because it allows crop production in an environment that would otherwise be unsuitable. Accordingly, ficus-indica is one of Mexico's most important exports, ranking among tequila and corn. Along with being a food source, this species has a number of medicinal uses including everything from treatment of enlarged prostate to treatment of colitis and irritable bowel syndrome to being a hangover cure (see link below). The cactus does have one drawback. Its spines take the form of fine hairs, which can seem harmless, but they act much like hairy splinters in the skin that will work themselves in deeply if allowed to. Growing Information: This species can tolerate much colder conditions than most cacti. It is considered hardy to at least zone 9. Flowering from June through September, the flowers are hermaphrodite, relying on insects for pollination. This species requires a well-drained, preferably sandy soil with a relatively neutral PH. A commercial cactus potting soil will work well. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors in a garden bed or started in pots and transplanted outdoors. The fruit contains germination inhibitors, so soaking the seeds and changing the water regularly may be beneficial. Prior to your soak, rub them on some sandpaper so the water can penetrate the seed coat. so your seeds will produce a cross if you allow it to flower with other species of opuntia. The pads can be pulled off your plants and rooted simply by burying them halfway in the soil. <table style="width: 500px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> Needs Light to germinate!

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2 id="short_description_content">Aloe vera Seeds (Aloe barbadensis)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</h2> Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that is found only in cultivation, having no naturally occurring populations, although closely related aloes do occur in northern Africa. The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal medicine since the beginning of the first century AD. Extracts from A. vera are widely used in the cosmetics and alternative medicine industries, being marketed as variously having rejuvenating, healing, or soothing properties. There is, however, little scientific evidence of the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extracts for either cosmetic or medicinal purposes, and what positive evidence is available is frequently contradicted by other studies. Description Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces.[6] The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 90 cm (35 in) tall, each flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) long.[6][7] Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil. Aloe vera leaves contain phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrones, anthraquinones, such as emodin, and various lectins. Taxonomy and etymology The species has a number of synonyms: A. barbadensis Mill., Aloe indica Royle, Aloe perfoliata L. var. vera and A. vulgaris Lam.[11][12] Common names include Chinese Aloe, Indian Aloe, True Aloe, Barbados Aloe, Burn Aloe, First Aid Plant. The species epithet vera means "true" or "genuine". Some literature identifies the white-spotted form of Aloe vera as Aloe vera var. chinensis, however, the species varies widely with regard to leaf spots[1] and it has been suggested that the spotted form of Aloe vera may be conspecific with A. massawana.[19] The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Aloe perfoliata var. vera,[20] and was described again in 1768 by Nicolaas Laurens Burman as Aloe vera in Flora Indica on 6 April and by Philip Miller as Aloe barbadensis some ten days after Burman in the Gardener's Dictionary. Techniques based on DNA comparison suggest Aloe vera is relatively closely related to Aloe perryi, a species endemic to Yemen.[22] Similar techniques, using chloroplast DNA sequence comparison and ISSR profiling have also suggested it is closely related to Aloe forbesii, Aloe inermis, Aloe scobinifolia, Aloe sinkatana, and Aloe striata.[23] With the exception of the South African species A. striata, these Aloe species are native to Socotra (Yemen), Somalia, and Sudan.[23] The lack of obvious natural populations of the species has led some authors to suggest Aloe vera may be of hybrid origin. Distribution The natural range of A. vera is unclear, as the species has been widely cultivated throughout the world. Naturalised stands of the species occur in the southern half of the Arabian Peninsula, through North Africa (Morocco, Mauritania, Egypt), as well as Sudan and neighbouring countries, along with the Canary, Cape Verde, and Madeira Islands.[11] This distribution is somewhat similar to the one of Euphorbia balsamifera, Pistacia atlantica, and a few others, suggesting that a dry sclerophyll forest once covered large areas, but has been dramatically reduced due to desertification in the Sahara, leaving these few patches isolated. Several closely related (or sometimes identical) species can be found on the two extreme sides of the Sahara: dragon trees (Dracaena) and Aeonium being two of the most representative examples. The species was introduced to China and various parts of southern Europe in the 17th century.[25] The species is widely naturalised elsewhere, occurring in temperate and tropical regions of Australia, Barbados, Belize, Nigeria, Paraguay and the United States[1][26] The actual species' distribution has been suggested to be the result of human cultivation. Cultivation Aloe vera has been widely grown as an ornamental plant. The species is popular with modern gardeners as a putatively medicinal plant and for its interesting flowers, form, and succulence. This succulence enables the species to survive in areas of low natural rainfall, making it ideal for rockeries and other low water-use gardens.[6] The species is hardy in zones 8–11, although it is intolerant of very heavy frost or snow.[7][27] The species is relatively resistant to most insect pests, though spider mites, mealy bugs, scale insects, and aphid species may cause a decline in plant health.[28][29] In pots, the species requires well-drained, sandy potting soil and bright, sunny conditions; however, Aloe plants can burn under too much sun or shrivel when the pot does not drain the rain. The use of a good-quality commercial propagation mix or packaged "cacti and succulent mix" is recommended, as they allow good drainage.[30] Terra cotta pots are preferable as they are porous.[30] Potted plants should be allowed to completely dry prior to rewatering. When potted, aloes become crowded with "pups" growing from the sides of the "mother plant", they should be divided and repotted to allow room for further growth and help prevent pest infestations. During winter, Aloe vera may become dormant, during which little moisture is required. In areas that receive frost or snow, the species is best kept indoors or in heated glasshouses.[7] Large-scale agricultural production of Aloe vera is undertaken in Australia,[31] Bangladesh, Cuba,[32] the Dominican Republic, China, Mexico,[33] India,[34] Jamaica,[35] Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa,[36] along with the USA[37] to supply the cosmetics industry with Aloe vera gel. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Uses Preparations made from Aloe vera are often referred to as "aloe vera".[39] Scientific evidence for the cosmetic and therapeutic effectiveness of aloe vera is limited and when present is frequently contradictory.[2][3] Despite this, the cosmetic and alternative medicine industries regularly make claims regarding the soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties of aloe vera [4][40] commercially advertised mainly for skin conditions such as sunburns, cold sores and frostbite. Aloe vera gel is also used commercially as an ingredient in yogurts, beverages, and some desserts;[41][42][43] although at certain doses, its toxic properties could be severe whether ingested or topically applied.[44] The same is true for aloe latex, which was taken orally for conditions ranging from glaucoma to multiple sclerosis until the FDA required manufacturers to discontinue its use.[45] Other uses for extracts of Aloe vera include the dilution of semen for the artificial fertilization of sheep,[46] as a fresh food preservative,[47] or for water conservation in small farms.[48] It has also been suggested that biofuels could be obtained from Aloe vera seeds.[49] Aloe is also used as a food substance, possibly for its gelling properties. Traditional medicine Early records of Aloe vera use appear in the Ebers Papyrus from the 16th century BC,[16] in both Dioscorides' De Materia Medica and Pliny the Elder's Natural History written in the mid-first century AD[16] along with the Juliana Anicia Codex produced in 512 AD.[41] The species is used widely in the traditional herbal medicine of many countries.[4] Aloe vera, called kathalai in Ayurvedic medicine, is used as a multipurpose skin treatment. This may be partly due to the presence of saponin, a chemical compound that acts as an antimicrobial agent. Dietary supplement Aloin, a compound found in the exudate of some Aloe species, was the common ingredient in over-the-counter (OTC) laxative products in the United States prior to 2003, when the Food and Drug Administration ruled that aloin was a class III ingredient, thereby banning its use.[51] Aloe vera has potential toxicity, with side effects occurring at some dose levels both when ingested or applied topically.[44] Although toxicity may be less when aloin is removed by processing, Aloe vera that contains aloin in excess amounts may induce side effects.[4][5][52] A two-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) study on oral consumption of nondecolorized whole leaf extract of Aloe vera found evidence of carcinogenic activity in male and female rats. The NTP says more information is needed to determine the potential risks to humans. Aloe vera juice is marketed to support the health of the digestive system, but there is neither scientific evidence nor regulatory approval to support this claim.[56] The extracts and quantities typically used for such purposes appear to be dose-dependent for toxic effects. Commodities Aloe vera is used on facial tissues where it is promoted as a moisturiser and/or anti-irritant to reduce chafing of the nose. Cosmetic companies commonly add sap or other derivatives from Aloe vera to products such as makeup, tissues, moisturizers, soaps, sunscreens, incense, shaving cream, or shampoos.[41] A review of academic literature notes that its inclusion in many hygiene products is due to its "moisturizing emollient effect". Toxicity In 2011, the NTP carried out a series of short- and long-term carcinogenicity studies of a nondecolorized whole leaf extract of Aloe barbadensis miller (Aloe vera) in rats and mice, in which the extracts were fed to the rodents in drinking water.[4] The studies found "clear evidence of carcinogenic activity" in the rats, but "no evidence of carcinogenic activity" in the mice. Both the mice and rats had increased amounts of noncancerous lesions in various tissues. The NTP believes further studies of oral preparations of aloe are important, as are studies of the oral exposure of humans to aloe; topical preparations are still considered safe. Oral ingestion of Aloe vera may also cause diarrhea, which in turn can lead to electrolyte imbalance, kidney dysfunction, dry mouth, headache, and nausea, while topical application may induce contact dermatitis, erythema, or phototoxicity. Research into medical uses Two 2009 reviews of clinical studies determined that all were too small and faulty to allow strong conclusions to be drawn from them, but concluded, "there is some preliminary evidence to suggest that oral administration of aloe vera might be effective in reducing blood glucose in diabetic patients and in lowering blood lipid levels in hyperlipidaemia. The topical application of aloe vera does not seem to prevent radiation-induced skin damage. It might be useful as a treatment for genital herpes and psoriasis. The evidence regarding wound healing is contradictory. More and better trial data are needed to define the clinical effectiveness of this popular herbal remedy more precisely." [5][58] One of the reviews found that Aloe has not been proven to offer protection for humans from sunburn, suntan, or other damage from the sun. A 2007 review of aloe vera's use in burns concluded, "cumulative evidence tends to support that aloe vera might be an effective interventions used in burn wound healing for ﬁrst- to second-degree burns. Further, well-designed trials with sufﬁcient details of the contents of aloe vera products should be carried out to determine the effectiveness of aloe vera.[59] Topical application of aloe vera may also be effective for genital herpes and psoriasis. <div> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> Needs Light to germinate!

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2>Cactus Mix seeds 'Mixed Desert Species'</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 20 seeds.</h2> <div>Growing Cacti and other succulents is a very absorbing hobby and once you are "hooked" it can become addictive. This premium cactus seed mix includes various species, including the famous and magnificent Saguaro Cactus (Cereus giganteus). These fun to grow desert type cacti may be grown outside in frost-free zones or as inside potted specimens in colder climates.</div> <div>Two misconceptions, that they are difficult to grow and they rarely flower, needs to be cleared away. They germinate easily, grow slowly, but compared to many plants need relatively little care.</div> <div>Some species of cacti, especially of Mammillaria and Rebutia will flower in the second year from seed and a few species will even flower in the first year. Many once they have reached flowering stage, will flower regularly every year and some will flower twice a year if grown correctly.</div> <div>All Cacti come from the New World (North & South America). Cacti do not grow in deserts as is commonly thought (nothing grows in deserts!), but in very arid semi-deserts. In some of the habitats cacti may not see rainfall for years, but usually the ground is very rich in minerals. Succulents on the other hand grow in almost all parts of the world, apart from the Arctic and the Antarctic.</div> Sowing: Sow indoors at any time of year. Fill small pots or trays with a light and well-aerated compost. (John Innes Seed Compost, with the addition of ½ gritty sand is an old favourite) Do not firm the mixture down. Stand the pots in water, moisten thoroughly and drain. It is a good plan to stand the containers on a tray of damp sand, so that they do not dry out. Scatter the seed onto the top of the compost or, if the seed is larger, sow individually and press lightly into the compost. Do not cover small seeds with compost. Secure a polythene bag around the pot or cover the container with glass or and place in a warm shaded place. If possible, germinate in a propagator. Care should be taken to prevent the pots drying out from below. Many people make use of a warm place such as the airing cupboard, or near the kitchen boiler. The majority of seeds germinate best at a temperatures of 22-24°C (70 and 75°F). Some seedlings may appear within a week or 10 days others will take longer. At lower temperatures, germination usually takes considerably longer. Germination: Once germination has taken place, remove the glass or plastic and move into a good light. Be careful to keep the top of the compost damp. As soon as the first seeds have germinated, remove the plastic or raise the lid slightly to permit some circulation of air. From now on, the tiny seedlings need to be in a good light, but must be protected from direct sun. Shading from all but winter sun is desirable for the first 12 months. If the young plants are exposed to too much sun, or the compost dries out, they may stop growing and often turn red; once they stop, it is often difficult to persuade them to start growing again. After germination and at intervals of about 10 days, it is as well to spray with a fungicide. It is as well to continue this treatment for 8-10 weeks, or until the seedlings look like miniature cacti. Never let the pots dry out-but don't saturate them either. A sodden compost is as harmful as a dry one. Transplanting: Some growers keep their seedlings in the sowing compost for 12 months, others prick out when the seedlings are 3 months old. Any good compost will do at this stage, provided it is well drained and well aerated. Keep at a minimum of 16°C (60°F) during their first winter and water carefully. Try to ensure that the compost is nearly dry by nightfall. The most dangerous months for your seedlings are likely to be February, March and early April, when the nights are cold and the day temperatures under glass rather high. As the days lengthen, the seedlings really respond to watering and start to grow visibly, and it is then that a sharp drop in temperature can be fatal if the compost is too wet. <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" width="100%" valign="top"> Sowing Instructions </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Propagation: </td> <td valign="top"> Seeds </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Pretreat: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Stratification: </td> <td valign="top"> 0 </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Time: </td> <td valign="top"> all year round </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> Sowing Depth: </td> <td valign="top"> Needs Light to germinate!

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body> <h2>Saguaro Cactus Seeds (Carnegiea gigantean)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</h2> <div>The saguaro (/səˈwɑroʊ/; scientific name Carnegiea gigantea) is a large, tree-sized cactus species in the monotypic genus Carnegiea, which can grow to be over 20 meters (~70 ft) tall. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in the U.S. state of Arizona, the Mexican state of Sonora, and the Whipple Mountains and Imperial County areas of California. The saguaro blossom is the State Wildflower of Arizona.</div> <div>The common name saguaro came into the English language through the Spanish language, originating in the Mayo language.</div> Growth Saguaros have a relatively long life span. They take up to 75 years to develop a side arm. A saguaro without arms is called a spear. The arms are grown to increase the plant's reproductive capacity (more apices lead to more flowers and fruit). The growth rate of saguaros is strongly dependent on precipitation; saguaros in drier western Arizona grow only half as fast as those in and around Tucson, Arizona. Some specimens may live for more than 150 years;[1] the largest known saguaro is the Champion Saguaro. It grows in Maricopa County, Arizona, and is 13.8 meters (45.3 ft) tall with a girth of 3.1 meters (10 ft). These cacti can grow anywhere from 40 to 60 feet. They grow slowly from seed, and never from cuttings. Whenever it rains, saguaros soak up the rainwater. The cactus will visibly expand, holding in the rainwater. It conserves the water and slowly consumes it. Spines The spines on saguaro having a height less than 2 metres grow rapidly, up to a millimeter per day. When held up to the light or bisected, alternating light and dark bands transverse to the long axis of spines can be seen. These transverse bands have been correlated to daily growth. In columnar cacti, spines almost always grow in aureoles which originate at the apex of the plant. Individual spine growth reaches mature size in the first season and then cease to grow. Areoles are moved to the side and the apex continues to grow upwards. Thus, the older spines are towards the base of a columnar cactus and newer spines are near the apex. Current studies are underway to examine the relationship of carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in the tissues of spines to the past climate and photosynthetic history of the plant (acanthochronology). Flowers The night blooming white and yellow flowers appear April through June and the sweet, ruby-colored fruit matures by late June. Saguaro flowers are self incompatible thus require cross pollination. Large quantities of pollen are required for complete pollination as there are numerous ovules. A well pollinated fruit will contain several thousand tiny seeds. The major pollinators are bats, primarily the lesser long-nosed bat, feeding on the nectar from the night-blooming flowers, which often remain open in the morning. There are a number of floral characteristics geared toward bat pollination: nocturnal opening of the flowers, nocturnal maturation of pollen, very rich nectar, position high above the ground, durable blooms that can withstand a bat's weight, and fragrance emitted at night. One additional piece of evidence is that the amino acids in the pollen appear to help sustain lactation in bats. The flowers remain open into the daylight hours and continue to produce nectar after sunrise. Doves and bees appear to be the primary daytime pollinators. Fruit The ruby red fruits are six to nine centimeters long and ripen in June. Each fruit contains around 2000 seeds plus sweet fleshy connective tissue. The fruits are edible and prized by local people. The fruits cannot be picked by hand, but must be harvested using a pole 2 to 5 meters long, to the end of which is attached another pole. The O'odham tribes have a long history of saguaro fruit use.[3] The Tohono O’odham tribes celebrate the beginning of their summer growing season with a ceremony using a fermented drink made from the bright red fruit to summon rains, vital for the crops. Nests Saguaro boot on display at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ Native birds such as Gila woodpeckers, purple martins, house finches, and gilded flickers live inside holes in saguaros. Flickers excavate larger holes higher on the stem.[4] The nest cavity is deep, the parents and young entirely hidden from view. The saguaro creates callus tissue on the wound. When the saguaro dies and its soft flesh rots, the callus remains behind as a so-called "saguaro boot," which was used by natives for storage. The Gila woodpeckers (Melanerpes uropygialis) create new nest holes each season rather than reuse the old ones, leaving convenient nest holes for other animals, such as elf owls, flycatchers, and wrens.[5] In recent years, early-breeding, aggressive, non-native birds have taken over the nests to the detriment of elf owls who breed and nest later. Laws Harming a saguaro in any manner, including cactus plugging, is illegal by state law in Arizona, and when houses or highways are built, special permits must be obtained to move or destroy any saguaro affected. Ethnobotany The saguaro is an important source of food and shelter for the Tohono O’odham. Saguaro spines are sometimes used as sewing needles and the ribs are used to make harvesting tools. The ribs of the saguaro were used for construction and other purposes by Native Americans. A fine example can be seen in the roofing of the cloisters of the Mission San Xavier del Bac on the Tohono O'odham lands near Tucson, Arizona. The Seri people of northwestern Mexico used the plant which they call mojépe for a number of purposes. Location The saguaro is often used as an emblem in commercials and logos that attempt to convey a sense of the Southwest, even if the product has no connection to Arizona or the Sonoran Desert. For instance, no saguaros are found within 250 miles (400 km) of El Paso, Texas, but the silhouette is found on the label of Old El Paso brand products. Though the geographic anomaly has lessened in recent years, Western films once enthusiastically placed saguaros in Monument Valley of Arizona as well as New Mexico, Utah, and Texas. There are no wild saguaros anywhere in the western U.S. states of Texas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, or Nevada, nor in the high deserts of northern Arizona. </body> </html>

It forms a bizarre canopy of serrated, blue-green leaves that emerge each spring from swollen, tree-like trunks. Each plant takes on a unique shape, with its own "personality". The plants normally grow to 6 or 7 feet tall, but they can potentially reach 12 feet! This is a great species for fans of funky caudex plants! Cyphostemma juttae is an odd member of the Grape family (Vitaceae). It's a summer-growing species that sheds its leaves during winter, showing off its attractive caudex and stems. The fat, succulent trunks are lined with a papery, peeling bark. The saw-toothed leaves look truly bizarre, like some sort of carpenter's tool! The foot-long leaves have a rubbery texture, and are curled upward along the edges, possibly to catch water. Flowers appear in the summer, followed by attractive, grape-like berries. Despite their tasty look, the fruits should not be eaten, since they contain a toxin. This is a slow-growing, long-lived plant. While it will take many years to reach maximum size, it is handsome at any age! Cyphostemma comes from hot, dry areas in southern Africa. It has no problem taking temperatures in the 90s (35°C), although it may need some afternoon shade in hot climates to avoid leaf burn. It can handle winter temperatures in the upper 20s (-2°C), but it's best to protect it from frost. It is easily grown indoors in a pot. Grow it in fast-draining soil, such as cactus mix. It is drought-tolerant, but it appreciates some water and fertilizer during the summer growing season. Despite coming from areas that are dry in winter, it can adapt to wet-winter areas like coastal California. First scratch the seeds lightly a few times over sandpaper or a nail file. Then soak them in a cup of water for 24 hours. Plant 1 seed per pot. Use small containers about 2" (5 cm) wide. The soil should be well draining, but be able to hold water. A good mix is 1/2 regular potting soil and 1/2 perlite. Cover the seed with 1/2" (1 cm) of soil. Don't compress the soil. After filling the pots, water the soil so that it's uniformly moist. Keep the pots at about 65-75°F (18-24°C). Ensure that the soil surface doesn't dry out, but don't keep the soil soggy either. Germination is erratic and can take anywhere from days to months. Be patient, as most will eventually sprout. If you have a bag over the pots to retain moisture, remove it immediately after germination or the leaves can rot if they touch it. Once the seeds sprout, give them filtered sunlight initially until they are a little taller. More tips on growing them are here. Have fun growing them! </div> </body> </html>

<h2>Lion-s Tail, Swan-s Neck Seeds (Agave attenuate)</h2> <h2>Price for Package of 4 Seeds.</h2> Agave attenuata is a species of agave sometimes known as the "lion's tail", "swan's neck", or "foxtail" for its development of a curved stem, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of central Mexico, as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens. Cultivation: Agave attenuata is an excellent plant which works well with other succulents or even tropical plant material. It is well suited for a container inside or a sheltered warm spot outdoors. It is a frost tender plant and it will usually be severely damaged in temperatures below -2° C. Although Agave attenuata survives in poor soils and can tolerate full coastal sun to to full shade, it does best in rich but well-drained soil mix ( 2 parts peat moss to 1 part loam to 1 part of pumice) with half sun exposures. The plant is extremely drought tolerant but does better with ample moisture and grows quickly if kept well watered and nourished (Slow release fertilizer applied once or twice a year is usually sufficient). During the winter months, one should only water enough to keep the leaves from shrivelling. Plants cultivated outdoors are more drought tolerant and can take some heat and full sun. It tolerates seaside conditions too. Protect from snails which can also disfigure the plant. Offsets or 'pups' can be removed to maintain the strong architectural lines of the agave and provide great additional plants, or left to form a clump. Propagation: By seeds or by removing suckers produced at the base of older plants or using the thousands of small bulbils produced on its' entire flower stalk length. Seeds germinate readily when they are fresh. The basal suckers can be removed in spring or summer, letting the cuttings dry for a few days before inserting in compost. As plants get older, they produce smooth curving trunks, often branched, that rise 40-100 cm tall (unusual among agaves) and eventually old leaves fall off, leaving them naked and visible. WIKIPEDIA: Agave attenuata is a species of agave sometimes known as the "lion's tail," "swan's neck," or "foxtail" for its development of a curved stem, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of the State of Jalisco in central Mexico, as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens in many other places. It is reportedly naturalized in Madeira and Libya. The stems typically range from 50 to 150 cm (20–60 in) in length, and eventually old leaves fall off, leaving them visible. The leaves are ovate-acuminate, 50–70 cm (20–28 in) long and 12–16 cm (5–6 in) wide, pale in color, ranging from a light gray to a light yellowish green. There are no teeth, nor terminal spines, although the leaves taper to points that fray with age. The inflorescence is a dense raceme 2.5 to 3 meters (8 to 10 ft) high, with greenish-yellow flowers. Specimens were sent to Kew by the explorer Galeotti in 1834, from an unspecified location in central Mexico. More recent study has reported it from Jalisco east to Mexico, in small colonies at elevations of 1,900 to 2,500 meters (6,200 to 8,200 ft), but there have been few sightings, suggesting this agave is rare in the wild. In cultivation, Agave attenuata is said to prefer relatively moist loamy soil, although it can cope with poor soil and dry conditions. It should be protected from direct sunlight in summer and from long periods of frost.

<h2>Semena Pitahaya blanca, Hylocereus</h2> <h2>Cena za balení 20 nebo 100 semen.</h2> <div> Pitahaya, zkráceně též pitaya, je označení pro některé druhy cereusovitých kaktusů a pro jejich, často jedlé, plody. Široce v tropech pěstované jsou některé druhy rodu Hylocereus, které dávají velké plody zvané též dragon fruit a dovážené do obchodů v Evropě. Další druhy jsou známé jen lokálně. V domovině je název pitayo používán hlavně pro druhy rodu Stenocereus. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Dějiny dračího clanu</h2> Původně používali termín pitahaya Španělé pro označení sloupovitých kaktusů a jejich plodů. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado na expedici v letech 1540 - 1542 popsal přípravu vína a pojídání čerstvých plodů domorodci ze saguara, které označil jako pitahaya, takto: Pijí tam víno připravené z pitahaya, což je plod z velkých bodláků, který se otevírá jako granátové jablko. Toto víno je ohlupuje. [1] [2] Dnes se již pro saguaro termín pitahaya nepoužívá. Od původního názvu pitahaya existují zkrácené názvy pitaya, pitayo a dále zdrobněliny pitahayita, pitayita, často s přívlastkem, například Pitahaya agria, Pitayo de querretao. Tyto názvy jsou lokálně používány i pro druhy kaktusů, které jedlé plody neposkytují, nebo jsou plody dokonce neznámé, ale vzhledem plodonosné druhy připomínají. <h2 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.5em;">Přehled druhů</h2> <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Hylocereus Dragon fruit</h3> <div class="uvodni-upozorneni hatnote">Podrobnější informace naleznete v článku Dragon fruit.</div> Několik druhů šplhavých, liánovitých až epifytických kaktusů rodu Hylocereus poskytuje velké jedlé plody známé pod obecným názvem pitahaya a též pod názvem Dragon fruit, dračí ovoce. Jsou široce pěstované v tropickém pásmu, mimo Ameriku hlavně v Asii, kde nejsou původní. Plody jsou dodávány do obchodních řetězců po celém světě. Jsou rozeznávány tři druhy plodů pitahají, přičemž botanické zařazení není úplně vyjasněné. Jednak botanici pod hlavní druhy slučují další druhy, případně používají synonymní názvy, jednak se jako plody nesoucí uvádí i další minoritní druhy. Rozlišují se tři typy pitahají z okruhu dragon fruit. <h4 style="color: #000000;">Pitahaya blanca</h4> bílá pitahaya je nejběžnější, široce pěstovaný druh, známý i z obchodů. Má červenou slupku a bílou dužinu s množstvím drobných, černých, jedlých semen. Hlavní druh je Hylocereus undatus, dále je uváděn též příbuzný Hylocereus triangularis.[3] Pro velké, vanilkou vonící květy je Hylocereus undatus pěstován i jako okrasná rostlina. <h4 style="color: #000000;">Pitahaya amarilla</h4> žlutá pitahaya, má žlutou slupku a bílou dužinu. Hlavní druh je Hylocereus megalanthus synonymum je Selenicereus megalanthus. Je vzácná. <h4 style="color: #000000;">Pitahaya roja</h4> červená pitahaya, má červenou slupku i dužinu. Jsou uváděny druhy Hylocereus polyrhizus, Hylocereus costaricensis, Hylocereus monacanthus. Chuť dužiny je výraznější než u typů s bílou dužinou. <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Selenicereus</h3> Rod je příbuzný a velmi podobný rodu Hylocereus.

[4] <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Saguaro</h3> <div class="uvodni-upozorneni hatnote">Podrobnější informace naleznete v článku Saguaro.</div> Saguaro je druh kaktusu Carnegia gigantea, který poskytuje jedlé plody. Ačkoliv byl poprvé v historii název pitahaya použit právě ve spojení s tímto kaktusem[1] [2], dnes se pro tento kaktus termín pitahaya nepoužívá. Plody saguara jsou dodnes sklízeny domorodci. <h3 style="color: #000000; font-size: 1.2em;">Stenocereus</h3> Stenocereus je rod středně velkých až velkých cereusů. Pro mnoho druhů je lokálně užíván název pitayo a další. Některé druhy poskytují jedlé plody tradičně sbírané domorodci a jsou někdy extenzivně vysazované (Stenocereus fricii, Stenocereus griseus, Stenocereus queretaroensis, Stenocereus stellatus) a šířené i mimo původní oblast výskytu. Naopak jiné druhy jedlé plody neposkytují, ale podle podobného vzhledu stonku je na ně též přeneseně používán název pitahaya a jeho odvozeniny. Plody jsou méně či více dužnaté, občas s trny, zbytky seschlého květu často přetrvávají.

It is used both as an ornamental vine and as a fruit crop - the pitahaya or dragon fruit. The native origin of the species has never been resolved. <h2>Common name</h2> <ul> <li>English: pitahaya, dragon fruit, night blooming Cereus, Strawberry Pear, Belle of the Night, Cinderella Plant, Jesus in the Cradle</li> <li>Estonian: maasik-metskaktus</li> <li>French: pitaya, fruit du dragon, cierge-lézard, poire de chardon</li> <li>German: Drachenfrucht, Distelbirne</li> <li>Greek: Φρούτο του δράκου (fruto tu draku)</li> <li>Hawaiian: panini-o-ka-puna-hou ("Punahou cactus") - a famous specimen still grows at Punahou School</li> <li>Japanese: pitaya (ピタヤ), dragon fruit (ドラゴンフルーツ),</li> <li>Portuguese: pitaia, cato-barse, cardo-ananaz, rainha da noite</li> <li>Spanish: pitahaya roja (Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela); flor de caliz, pitajava (Puerto Rico); junco, junco tapatio, pitahaya orejona, reina de la noche, tasajo (Mexico)</li> <li>Swedish: skogskaktus, röd pitahaya</li> <li>Vietnamese: thanh long</li> <li>Thai: แก้วมังกร (kaeo mangkon)</li> <li>Malay: buah naga. pronounce:boo-ah naa-gaa</li> <li>Chinese: 火龙果; pinyin: huǒlóngguǒ</li> <li>Italian: Pitahaya, Frutto del Drago</li> </ul> <h2>Etymology</h2> Greek "hyle" - wood, matter, Latin "cereus" - waxen, Latin "undatus" - wavy edges of the ribs. <h2>History</h2> <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Hylocereus_undatus_in_bloom_in_Kona.jpg/220px-Hylocereus_undatus_in_bloom_in_Kona.jpg" width="220" height="147" class="thumbimage"> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Hylocereus undatus in bloom in Kona, Hawaii</div> </div> </div> There is a locally famous cactus hedge on a lava rock wall of the Punahou School in Honolulu, the hedge of Kapunahou. In 1836, Mrs. Bingham planted the hedge[2] of Hylocereus undatus, the famed cactus known in Hawaii as panini o kapunahou. Its exotic blossoms still bloom during the closing summer months on the Punahou walls. The hedge is on two sides of the school and about three hundred meters long. From July to as late as October the hedge blooms and several times there is a wall of white flowers hundreds of yards long. Supposedly all the H. undatus in Hawaii came from the wall of Punahou School. People used to come in the evenings from all over the island to see them blooming and "borrow" some cuttings so that now they have this species all over the islands. <div class="thumb tleft"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/Night_Flowering_Cereus_Lanikai.JPG/220px-Night_Flowering_Cereus_Lanikai.JPG" width="220" height="298" class="thumbimage"> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> Hylocereus undatus overlooking Lanikai and Na Mokulua</div> </div> </div> <h2>Origin and habitat</h2> Hylocereus undatus is lithophytic or hemiepiphytic. It is widely distributed through the tropics in cultivation. Like all true cacti, the genus originates in the Americas, but the precise origin of the species H. undatus is uncertain and it may be a hybrid. Hylocereus undatus is a sprawling or vining, terrestrial or epiphytic cactus. They climb by use of aerial roots and can reach a height 10 meters or more growing on rocks and trees. The genus is very variable and closely related to Selenicereus. <h2>Systematics</h2> This species is closely related to H. ocamponis and H. escuintlensis. <h2>Description</h2> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/Dragonfruit_Chiayi_market.jpg/220px-Dragonfruit_Chiayi_market.jpg" width="220" height="165" class="thumbimage"> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> The Red Pitahaya at the Chiyai market, Taiwan</div> </div> </div> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner"><img alt="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Hylocereus_undatus_111.JPG/220px-Hylocereus_undatus_111.JPG" width="220" height="339" class="thumbimage"> <div class="thumbcaption"> <div class="magnify"></div> The flowers in Rome</div> </div> </div> Dragonfruit stems are scandent (climbing habit), creeping, sprawling or clambering, and branch profusely.

Their colour is greenish-yellow or whitish, rarely rose-tinged; inner tepals are lanceolate (tapering to a point at the tip) to oblanceolate (i.e. more pointed at the base), up to 10–15 cm long about 40 mm wide at widest point, and mucronate, unbroken, sharp to acuminate (pointed), and white. Stamens 5–10 cm long, are declinate, inserted in one continuous zone from throat to 35 mm above the pericarpel and cream. The style (bearing the stigma) to 17, they are 5-24.5 cm long, stout, 6–8 mm thick, cream, and up to 26 stigma lobes, they can be whole or sometimes split at the top, cream, about 25 mm long. Nectar chambers are 30 mm long.
