Over many years he obtained a strain of Poppies ranging in colors from white to pale lilac to pink and red, and unlike the wild Poppies these had no dark blotches at the base of the petals. Over the years, further wildflower Poppy selection has created the semi-double and double forms, as well as flowers with a ring of contrasting color around the edge called the picotee form. Easily grown from Shirley Poppy seeds, gardeners enthusiastically grow this variety for the wonderful display of diverse color and forms. How to Grow Poppies: Directly sow Poppy seeds in early spring before frosts have finished. Shirley Poppies grow best in loose soil that drains well. Press the flower seeds firmly into the soil and keep the soil moist until germination.<br /><br />Flower Specifications<br /><br />    Season: Annual<br />    USDA Zones: 3 - 9<br />    Height: 12 - 15 inches<br />    Bloom Season: Summer<br />    Bloom Color: Mix<br />    Environment: Full sun<br />    Soil Type: Loose, well-drained, pH 6.1 - 7.3<br />    Deer Resistant: Yes<br /><br />Planting Directions<br /><br />    Temperature: 55 - 60F<br />    Average Germ Time: 21 - 28 days<br />    Light Required: Yes<br />    Depth: Do not cover the seed but press into the soil<br />    Moisture: Keep seeds moist until germination<br />    Plant Spacing: 12 inches</p> </div>

<h2 class=""><strong>Common Garden White Poppy Seeds (Papaver Somniferum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Price for Package of 2000 (1g), 10000 (5g) seeds.</span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Papaver somniferum, the Opium poppy, is the species of plant from which opium and poppy seeds are derived. Opium is the source of many narcotics, including morphine (and its derivative heroin), thebaine, codeine, papaverine, and noscapine. The Latin botanical name means the "sleep-bringing poppy", referring to the sedative properties of some of these opiates.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The opium poppy is the only species of Papaveraceae that is an agricultural crop grown on a large scale. Other species, Papaver rhoeas, and Papaver argemone are important agricultural weeds and may be mistaken for the crop.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">It is also valuable for ornamental purposes and has been known as the "common garden poppy", referencing all the group of poppy plants.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Poppy seeds of Papaver somniferum are an important food item and the source of poppyseed oil, healthy edible oil that has many uses.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Description</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Papaver somniferum is an annual herb growing to 100cm. All parts of the plant are strongly glaucous, giving a greyish-green appearance, and the stem and leaves are sparsely covered with coarse hairs. The leaves are lobed and clasp the stem at the base. The flowers are up to 120mm diameter, normally with four white, mauve or red petals, sometimes with dark markings at the base. The fruit is a hairless, rounded capsule topped with 12–18 radiating stigmatic rays. All parts of the plant exude white latex when wounded.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>History</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Use of the opium poppy predates written history. Images of opium poppies have been found in ancient Sumerian artifacts (circa 4000 BC). The making and use of opium was known to the ancient Minoans.[7] Its sap was later named opion by the ancient Greeks, from whence it gained its modern name of opium.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Opium was used for treating asthma, stomach illnesses, and bad eyesight.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The First and Second Opium Wars among China, the British Empire and France took place in the late 1830s through the early 1860s, when the Chinese attempted to stop western traders smuggling opium into their country.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Many modern writers, particularly in the 19th century, have written on the opium poppy and its effects, notably Thomas de Quincey in Confessions of an English Opium-Eater</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The French Romantic composer Hector Berlioz used opium for inspiration, subsequently producing his Symphonie Fantastique. In this work, a young artist overdoses on opium and experiences a series of visions of his unrequited love.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Opium poppies (flower and fruit) appear on the coat of arms of the Royal College of Anaesthetists.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Legality</em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Opium poppy cultivation in the United Kingdom does not require a license, but extracting opium for medicinal products does.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In Italy, it is forbidden to grow P. somniferum to extract the alkaloids, but small numbers of specimens can be grown without special permits for purely ornamental purposes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unlike in its neighboring countries Austria and Switzerland, where opium poppy is still cultivated legally, it has been delegalized in Western Germany after World War II, extending this regulation after German reunification in 1990 also to territories of the former GDR, where opium poppy cultivation had remained legal until then.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the United Arab Emirates, where the drug law is especially stern, at least one man was reported to have been imprisoned for possessing poppy seeds obtained from a bread roll.[9]</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In New Zealand, section 9(4) of the Misuse of Drugs Act states, "It shall be a defense to a charge under subsection (1) [Cultivation of prohibited plants] if the person charged proves that the prohibited plant to which the charge relates was of the species Papaver somniferum and that it was not intended to be a source of any controlled drug or that it was not being developed as a strain from which a controlled drug could be produced."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In northern Burma, opium bans have ended a century-old tradition of growing poppy. Between 20,000 and 30,000 ex-poppy farmers left the Kokang region as a result of the ban in 2002.[11] People from the Wa region, where the ban was implemented in 2005, fled to areas where growing opium is still possible.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the United States, opium is listed as a Schedule II controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration. In addition, "Opium poppy and poppy straw" are also prohibited.[12] However, this is not typically enforced for poppies grown or sold for ornamental or food purposes.[4] Though the opium poppy is legal for culinary or æsthetic reasons, poppies were once grown as a cash crop by farmers in California; the law of poppy cultivation in the United States is somewhat ambiguous.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The reason for the ambiguity is because The Opium Poppy Control Act of 1942 (now repealed),[14][15][16] stated that any opium poppy should be declared illegal, even if the farmers were issued a state permit. § 3 of The Opium Poppy Control Act stated:</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It shall be unlawful for any person who is not the holder of a license authorizing him to produce the opium poppy, duly issued to him by the Secretary of the Treasury in accordance with the provisions of this Act, to produce the opium poppy, or to permit the production of the opium poppy in or upon any place owned, occupied, used, or controlled by him.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This led to the Poppy Rebellion, and to the Narcotics Bureau arresting anyone planting opium poppies and forcing the destruction of poppy fields of anyone who defied the prohibition of poppy cultivation. Though the press of those days favored the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, the state of California supported the farmers who grew opium poppies for their seeds for uses in foods such as poppyseed muffins. Today, this area of law has remained vague and remains somewhat controversial in the United States. The Opium Poppy Control Act of 1942 was repealed on 27 October 1970.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The seeds themselves contain very small amounts of opiates,[4] and have no measurable narcotic effect in small quantities. See poppy tea. However, the television show MythBusters demonstrated that one could test positive for narcotics after consuming four poppy seed bagels. On the show Brainiac: Science Abuse, subjects tested positive after eating only two poppy seed bagels.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Medicine</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Australia (Tasmania), Turkey, and India are the major producers of the poppy for medicinal purposes and poppy-based drugs, such as morphine or codeine.[23] The USA has a policy of sourcing 80% of its narcotic raw materials from the traditional producers, India, and Turkey.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A recent initiative to extend opium production for medicinal purposes called Poppy for Medicine was launched by The Senlis Council which proposes that Afghanistan could produce medicinal opium under a scheme similar to that operating in Turkey and India.[25] The Council proposes licensing poppy production in Afghanistan, within an integrated control system supported by the Afghan government and its international allies, to promote economic growth in the country, create vital drugs and combat poverty and the diversion of illegal opium to drug traffickers and terrorist elements. Interestingly, Senlis is on record advocating the reintroduction of poppy into areas of Afghanistan, specifically Kunduz, which has been poppy free for some time.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Senlis proposal is based in part on the assertion that there is an acute global shortage of opium poppy-based medicines some of which (morphine) are on the World Health Organisation's list of essential drugs as they are the most effective way of relieving severe pain. This assertion is contradicted by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), the "independent and quasi-judicial control organ monitoring the implementation of the United Nations drug control conventions". INCB reports that the supply of opiates is greatly in excess of demand.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In March 2010, researchers from the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary published an article in Nature Chemical Biology about their discovery of two enzymes and their encoding genes, thebaine 6-O-demethylase (T6ODM) and codeine O-demethylase (CODM), involved in morphine biosynthesis derived from the opium poppy.[27] The enzymes were identified as non-heme dioxygenases and were isolated using functional genomics.[27] Codeine O-demethylase produces the enzyme that converts codeine into morphine.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Medical cultivation in the UK</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In late 2006, the British government permitted the pharmaceutical company Macfarlan Smith (a Johnson Matthey company, FTSE 100) to cultivate opium poppies in England for medicinal reasons[29] after Macfarlan Smith's primary source, India, decided to increase the price of export opium latex. This move is well received by British farmers,[citation needed] with a major opium poppy field based in Didcot, England. As of 2012, they were growing in Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire as a spring-sown break crop recognized under the single payment scheme farm subsidy.[30] The Office of Fair Trading has alerted the government to their monopoly position on growing in the UK and worldwide production of diamorphine and recommended consideration.[29] The governments response advocated the status quo, being concerned interference might cause the company to stop production.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Use as food</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The opium poppy is the source of two food ingredients: poppy seed and poppyseed oil. The seeds contain very low levels of opiates,[4] and the oil extracted from them contains even less. Both the oil and the seed residue also have commercial uses.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Poppy seeds</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Poppy seeds are commonly used in cuisine from many different cultures. They can be dry roasted and ground to be used in wet curry (curry paste) or dry curry. They have a creamy and nut-like flavor, and when used with ground coconut, the seeds provide a unique and flavor-rich curry base.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Ornamental cultivation</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Once known as the "common garden poppy", live plants and seeds of the opium poppy are widely sold by seed companies and nurseries in most of the western world, including the United States. Poppies are sought after by gardeners for the vivid coloration of the blooms, the hardiness and reliability of the poppy plants, the exotic chocolate-vegetal fragrance note of some cultivars, and the ease of growing the plants from purchased flats of seedlings or by direct sowing of the seed. Poppyseed pods are also sold for dried flower arrangements.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Since "opium poppy and poppy straw" are listed in Schedule II of the United States' Controlled Substances Act, a DEA license may be required to grow poppies in ornamental or display gardens. In fact, the legal status of strictly ornamental poppy gardens is more nuanced, and destruction of ornamental poppy installations or prosecution of gardeners (except those caught extracting opium via capsule scarification or tea extraction) are virtually unheard of.[4] During the early spring, opium poppies can be seen flowering in gardens throughout North America and Europe, and beautiful displays are found in many private planters, as well as in public botanical and museum gardens (e.g., United States Botanical Garden, Missouri Botanical Garden, North Carolina Botanical Garden).</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Many countries grow the plants, and some rely heavily on the commercial production of the drug as a major source of income. As an additional source of profit, the seeds of the same plants are sold for use in foods, so the cultivation of the plant is a significant source of income. This international trade in seeds of P. somniferum was addressed by a UN resolution "to fight the international trade in illicit opium poppy seeds" on 28 July 1998.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Popular culture</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the 19th century Thomas de Quincey wrote Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821). A book on Opium and allegedly the first book in the series of drug-addiction literature.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Recently, a feature film entitled The Opium Eater was released exploring the life of Eric Detzer and how he would go about acquiring opium poppies from flower shops and gardens in the Pacific Northwest (north of Seattle) to feed his addiction. This true story is based on an autobiography, Poppies: Odyssey of an Opium Eater written by Detzer, and starring David Bertelsen. Since the festival release of this film in Breckenridge, CO, eBay has stopped allowing the sale of opium poppy pods on their auction site. This may also be attributed to the death of a Colorado teen, who overdosed on opium tea around the same time.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What may be the most well known literary use of the poppy occurs both in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and in MGM's classic 1939 film based on the novel.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the novel, while on their way to the Emerald City, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion walk through a field of poppies, and both Dorothy and the Lion mysteriously fall asleep. The Scarecrow and the Tin Man, not being made of flesh and blood, are unaffected. They carry Dorothy to safety and place her on the ground beyond the poppy field. While they are considering how to help the Lion, a field mouse runs in front of them, fleeing a cougar. The Tin Man beheads the cougar with his axe, and the field mouse pledges her eternal gratitude. Being the Queen of the Field Mice, she gathers all her subjects together. The Tin Man cuts down several trees, and builds a wagon. The Lion is pushed onto it, and the mice pull the wagon safely out of the poppy field.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In the 1939 film, the sequence is considerably altered. The poppy field is conjured up by the Wicked Witch of the West, and it appears directly in front of the Emerald City, preventing the four travelers from reaching it. As in the novel, Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion fall asleep, but in a direct reversal of the book, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man are unable to carry Dorothy. Glinda, who has been watching over them, conjures up a snowfall which kills the poppies' narcotic power and enables Dorothy and the Lion to awaken. Unfortunately, the Tin Man has been weeping in despair, and the combination of his tears and the wet snow has caused him to rust. After he is oiled by Dorothy, the four skip happily toward the Emerald City.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In Baum's other Oz books, Oz's ruler, Princess Ozma, is often shown wearing poppies in her hair as decoration.</span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<div id="idTab1" class="rte"> <h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>New Zealand flax - Flax lily Seeds (Phormium tenax)</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Price for Package of 3 seeds.</span></strong></span></h2> <div>Phormium is a genus of two plant species in the Xanthorrhoeaceae family. One species is endemic to New Zealand and the other is native to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. The two species are widely known in New Zealand as 'flax' and elsewhere as New Zealand flax or Flax lily but are not related to Flax which is native to the region extending from the eastern Mediterranean to India and which was used by humans in 30,000 B.C.</div> <div>Taxonomy</div> <div>Phormium is an herbaceous perennial monocot. Monocot classification has undergone significant revision in the past decade, and recent classification systems (including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) have found Phormium to be closely related to daylilies (Hemerocallis). Phormium formerly belonged to the family Agavaceae and many classification systems still place it there. It includes two species, Phormium colensoi and Phormium tenax. It also includes many cultivars.</div> <div>The genus was originally established by the German naturalists Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster in 1775 from specimens of Phormium tenax collected by both Forsters and the Swedish naturalist Anders Erikson Sparrman. All of them were part of the second expedition of Captain James Cook aboard the Resolution (1772–1775).[4] The type specimens were taken from Queen Charlotte Sound, with additional specimens from both Norfolk Island and North Island, New Zealand. The name Phormium comes from Ancient Greek for "basket", while tenax was Latin for "strong".</div> <div>Description and ecology</div> <div>The tough, sword-shaped leaves grow up to three metres long and up to 125 mm wide. They are usually darkish green but sometimes have coloured edges and central ribs. Cultivated varieties range from light green through pink to deep russet bronze. There are numerous variegated cultivars with leaves marked by contrasting stripes in shades of green, red, bronze, pink and yellow.</div> <div>The rigid flower stalks can be up to five metres long, projecting high above the foliage. In November (in New Zealand) they produce clumps of curving tube-like flowers which turn bright red when mature. These produce unusually large quantities of nectar to attract all nectar feeding birds such as the tui and insects. The seedpods that develop after pollination, each contain hundreds of seeds which are later widely dispersed by the wind.</div> <div>Distribution and habitat</div> <div>P. tenax occurs naturally in New Zealand and Norfolk Island, while P. colensoi is endemic to New Zealand. Both species have been widely distributed to temperate regions of the world as economic fibre and ornamental plants.</div> <div>They are found mainly in swamps or low lying areas but will grow just about anywhere.<hr></div> <div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing: &nbsp;</strong>Spring (Feb to April) or in Autumn (Sept to Oct)</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Sow at maximum 16 to 18°C (60 to 65°F), covering them with a thin layer of peaty compost. Kept moist but not wet at all times. Germination can be erratic, between 30 to 180 days</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Prick out each seedling as it becomes large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Grow on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15days before planting out. You may find them rather lax as youngsters but they develop a strong upright habit rather quickly.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Cultivation:</strong></span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Once established, Phormium require only the minimum of care and are hardy to minus -5°C (23°F), but in frost prone areas, it is worth covering plants with a deep mulch of well-rotted compost or straw in winter. &nbsp;</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Healthy plants soon grow into a large clump as new fans of leaves develop around the older ones. These eventually develop their own roots and can be detached from the parent plant. It is probably best to cut back some of the leaves of the young plant to reduce the water demand while it is getting established. Even if all the roots get broken off, most pieces will root again if kept moist.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Plants can be divided in spring. Dig up the whole plant then divide it into several pieces using a spade or knife.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Plants growing in pots can be un-potted, freed of most of the soil and small sections broken off. The roots can be carefully teased apart leaving as many as possible attached to each offset. The pieces can then be planted separately.</span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Plant Uses: &nbsp;</strong></span></div> <div><span style="color: #008000;">Architectural, Tropical, Containers, Cultivated Beds.</span></div> </div> </div><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Mezőgazdasági gyomként figyelemre méltó (ezért a közönséges nevek, beleértve a "kukoricát" és a "szántót"). Különösen az Egyesült Királyságban használják az elesett katonák és egy másik katonaság emlékének szimbólumaként, az első világháború alatt és azt követően.<br /><br />A papaver rhoeas változó, egyenes egyéves, hosszú élettartamú talajmag-bankot képez, amely csírázhat, ha a talajt zavarják. Az északi féltekén általában késő tavasszal virágzik (május és október között az Egyesült Királyságban), de ha elég meleg az idő, más virágok gyakran megjelennek ősz elején. Körülbelül 70 cm (28 hüvelyk) magasságig nő. A szárak nagy, mutatós, 5–10 cm-es (2–4 hüvelykes) virágokat tartalmaznak, négy szirommal, amelyek élénkpirosak, leggyakrabban fekete folt van az aljukon. A szirmok kissé átfedik egymást. A növény meleg évszakban akár 400 virágot is képes termelni, amelyek csak egy napig tartanak. A virágszárat általában durva szőrszálak borítják, amelyeket derékszögben tartanak a felszínhez, ami segít megkülönböztetni azt a Papaver dubiumtól, amelyben a szőrszálakat általában jobban elismerik (vagyis a szárhoz szorosan tartják). A kapszulák szőrtelenek, obovoid alakúak (tojás alakúak), a szélességüknél kevesebb, mint kétszer olyan magasak, a megbélyegzés legalább olyan széles, mint a kapszula. A Papaver sok más fajához hasonlóan a növény is fehér vagy sárgás latexet áraszt, amikor a szövetek megtörnek.<br /><br />Nem minden, a kereskedelemben kapható kukoricamák piros virágú. A szelektív tenyésztés sárga, narancssárga, rózsaszín és fehér fajtákat eredményezett. A Shirley mák jól ismert fajta. A Shirley-ből származó nagyon halvány foltos változat is elérhető.<br /><br />Az 'Evelina' néven ismert, majdnem fekete virágú hibridet az 1990-es évek végén tenyésztették Olaszországban, a P. dubium-szal, de úgy tűnik, hogy kereskedelemben nem kapható.<br /><br />Fitokémia<br /><br />A Papaver rhoeas tartalmaz egy rhoeadine nevű alkaloidot, amely enyhe nyugtató. Rhoeadinsav, papaverinsav és rhoeagenin is található ebben a növényben.<br /><br />Használ<br /><br />A gyakran termesztett kerti dekoratív Shirley mák ennek a növénynek a fajtája.<br /><br />A fekete mag ehető, és akár önmagában, akár a kenyér összetevőjeként fogyasztható. A magból készült olajat Franciaországban nagyra értékelik.<br /><br />A szirmok vörös színezéket tartalmaznak, amelyet egyes gyógyszerekben és borokban használnak; a szárított szirmait alkalmanként színezik a potpourrisok.<br /><br />A hagyományos népi gyógyászatban köszvényre, fájdalomra és fájdalomra alkalmazták. A szirmokból olyan szirupot készítettek, amelyet gyermekeknek tápláltak, hogy segítsenek nekik aludni.</p> </div> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

Tarthatjuk cserépben, edényben, függőkosárban.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">A talaj szerkezetéről szinte függetlenül jól fejlődik, de csak tápanyagdús környezetben virágzik gazdagon. Célszerű átlagos, jó vízgazdálkodású, semleges kémhatású (6,5–7<span>&nbsp;</span>pH) kerti földbe ültetni. Kedveli a tőzeget.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Fagyérzékeny, a szabadban nem telel át. Télen minimum 10–13&nbsp;°C-t igényel. Mivel leveleit télen sem hullajtja le, ezért fontos, hogy világos helyen teleltessük, de ha ágait tövig visszavágjuk, levihetjük a pincébe is. Nyáron sok, de nem direkt fényre van szüksége. Akár az udvarra is kivihetjük, de a tűző, déli naptól védeni kell.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Télen ritkábban (havonta egyszer), tavasztól őszig rendszeresen öntözni kell (hetente tápoldattal is). Két öntözés között hagyni kell, hogy a földje kiszáradjon. A leveleit célszerű időnként permetezni. A szárazságot is tűri, de ilyenkor kevesebb virágot hoz.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Ha ez szükséges, a többi szobanövényhez hasonlóan tavasszal ültessük át. Ha májusig visszavágjuk hosszabb hajtásait, több virágot hoz. Ha elvirágzott, vágjuk vissza a szárait kb. a felére! A levágott darabokból hajtásdugványt készítve az év bármely szakában szaporítható. Ha törzses fácskát akarunk nevelni belőle, meg kell hagyni egy vezérágat, az oldalhajtásokat pedig félgömb alakban kell visszacsípni. Két-háromévenként a növényeket meg kell újítani, mert az idősebb példányok előbb-utóbb megcsúnyulnak.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Magjait kora tavasszal kell elvetni.</p> <p style="color: #202122; font-size: 14px;">Olyankor, amikor nem virágzik, nem különösen mutatós: levelei ráncosak, a szára szúrós. Egész nyáron nyíló, kezdetben citromsárga, narancssárga, majd tűzvörös és végül lilásba forduló ernyővirágzata azonban kimondottan látványos.

<h2><strong>Ördögök alma magok (Solanum linnaeanum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #fe0000;"><strong>Az ár a 10 db magot tartalmazó csomagra vonatkozik.</strong></span></h2> <p class="">Az ördögalma vagy szodómia gyümölcs Dél-Afrikában őshonos. De megtalálható Ausztráliában, Új-Zélandon is. A növény bokros alakú, 0,5-1,5 méteresre nőhet. Az egész növény mérgező, bár gyógyászati célokra használják gyógyszerek előállítására és különféle betegségek kezelésére. Gyönyörű dísznövény, amely egész évben, késő őszig virágzik, és nem igényel gondozást, csak néha egy kis vizet…<br>It used to be called Solanum astrophorum, Solanum hermannii, Solanum mccannii, Solanum sodomeum, Solanum sodomeum var. hermannii, Solanum sodomeum var. mediterraneum, Solanum undatum, Solanum hermanii, apple of sodom, Afgan thistle, bitter apple, black-spined nightshade, poison apple and most commonly devil's apple or poison eggplant, with the accepted scientific name being Solanum Linnaeanum these days.</p> <p>It is of African and Mediterranean origin but was introduced to Australia very early on with it being first collected and cataloged in Australia in the early 1880s.</p> <p>It is a poisonous plant that is not eaten by anything as far as I can tell, except for the odd grasshopper which seems to become poisoned or drugged, sitting still in a stupor after a while. Handy in the greenhouse.</p> <p>It is a spiky plant covered in straight needles which I find really cool. I love all the spiky Solanum, the same way some folks like Cacti I guess?</p> <p>In Southern Africa, it has a long history of traditional use for skin conditions, toothache, cold and fever. Apparently the roots are carried as a talisman, for protection against poisoning.</p> <p>It has long been used by pastoralists for skin disorders on the stock. Mashed and bound to the area needing treatment, or sliced and rubbed on regularly, its effectiveness where nothing else works is legendary.</p> <p>Many folks swear by it, and there is a very popular "Devil's Apples Lotion" or "Poison Eggplant cream" made by blending the ripe fruit in olive oil then applying topically to the affected area.</p> <p>I showed serious promise as a skin cancer treatment and in animal trials, it was shown to be very effective IN SOME CASES. Solamargine and solasonine are still being investigated as cancer treatment options in several places around the world. (There is a company in Vanuatu that currently sells a product under the name Curaderm BEC5, which is said to be effective, but it has not been approved for medical use by any regulatory agency.)</p> <p>The big thing to remember in other cases it was just FATAL...</p> <p>This is the reason the trials were discontinued, it wasn't because it didn't work, it's just that it killed and maimed a heap more critters than cancer would have statistically. Therefore it was not a safe or effective treatment in the majority of cases.</p> <p>Like using a molotov cocktail to light your BBQ. Sure, sometimes it works great!</p> <p>It is just unfortunate that you more often than not end up losing your eyebrows, blowing up your sausages, and setting fire to the neighbours clothesline...</p> <p>The Pharmaceutical company most often quoted in regards to the effectiveness of this plant on cancer, Solbec, has since given up due to the variability in results and in 2004 they were fined for misleading shareholders and the public about the effectiveness of their drugs.</p> <p>Solbec told the ASX, among other things, that Coramsine™ brought about total remission of malignant mesothelioma in mice when combined with immunotherapy. Following that announcement, the share price of Solbec increased by some 92 percent.</p> <p>Solbec later told the ASX that the study had tested Coramsine™ on five mice of which only two had gone into remission of malignant mesothelioma. Solbec elected to comply with the notice. As provided under section 1317DAJ(3)(b) of the Act, compliance with the notice is not an admission of guilt or liability, and Solbec is not regarded as having contravened section 674(2) of the Act.</p> <p>It is still under investigation for its effects on skin cancer, but it is a poison, and I do not recommend or encourage or advise use, application or ingestion in any way..</p> <p>Folks don't do DIY chemotherapy, same theory.</p> <p>It may kill you, or mangle you, just like it did to the mice.</p> <p>In normal situations as a houseplant or a weed, poisoning is generally not a problem because the plant is rarely eaten, it is spiky and bitter, full of hard seeds and no really fruity flesh to it.</p> <p>As a weed, it is easy to control as it rarely survives cultivation and its growth is quite slow for a Solanum species. The seeds can sit dormant in the soil for ages, but it is only in pastures this becomes a problem, and that is due to the cattle and sheep eating everything except the Devil's apple. Sensible grazing and occasional hand pulling is an effective control method.</p> <p>Grasses will outcompete it, if given the chance, and they will block the light to dormant seeds meaning they never get the chance to germinate.</p> <p>I grow this plant as an ornamental, and I sell the seeds only so you can do the same.</p> <p>If your plans are to use this plant or its seeds for anything other than ornamental reasons, I humbly request you please bugger off now. Get it elsewhere, I don't need or want the drama your death or maiming could create.</p> <p>It is a beautiful plant, and in my opinion, that is plenty of reason to grow it.</p> <p>Like a bushy little rose, but big purple flowers and bright yellow fruits.</p> <p>Does great in pots, germination takes about 6weeks normally, but it can be erratic. GA3 can often speed things up. Being a weed species it is not permitted to most places so pay attention to the big red text folks.</p> <script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>
