Its flowers are white or yellow, usually begin to bloom between February and April, fired a strong aroma and the fruit contains many brown seeds ellipsoids. The root is erect and branching. The fruit of Voacanga tends to occur during the summer months between June and September, depending on the country.</p> <p><strong>Effects and applications of Voaganca</strong></p> <p>At present the <em>Voacanga Africana</em> has industrial (production of latex) and medicinal applications. West African shamans used the bark of this tree as a brain stimulant, the roots were used as a stimulant during long hunts, while the seeds were used with visionary purposes.</p> <p>The seeds of the <em>Voacanga Africana</em> contain indole alkaloids, including voacangine (carbomethoxy-ibogaine), voacamina and related substances.</p> <p>Voacangine, C<sub>22</sub>H<sub>29</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (12-methoxyibogamine-18-carboxylic acid methyl ester) CAS: 510-22-5</p> <h2><strong>Cultivation of Voacanga africana</strong></h2> <p>In the tropical forest is preferably grown in rich soil and somewhat protected from the sun and frost places.</p> <p>The seeds must be sterilized water leaving 10 minutes with a 6% hydrogen peroxide. The use of a specific enraizador are advised to ensure germination.</p> <p>For planting it is best to use a mixture of sandy soil, and seeds bury about 8-10 mm deep (about twice the diameter of the seed). The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged and the environment should be warm to promote germination.</p> <p>There must be good air circulation after germination to avoid fungal attacks.</p> <p>It likes partial sun until well established, then when they are more mature may be at more sunny places. After three or four months after germination, the plant will be established enough for transplant to their final location.</p> <p>The plant needs adequate space to develop its roots, so the planting distance is 3 meters between plants.</p> <p>Harvesting <em>Voacanga africana</em></p> <p>When the fruit is ripe, with a characteristic brown color, you can be cut directly from the ground without waiting for fall. After collecting the fruit bush, you need to be transported to where it can be left to mature. The fruit needs to mature in dry conditions.</p> <p>When the fruit is fully ripe it opens and you can see the seeds inside.</p> <p>When the fruit opens naturally, the seeds inside are extracted and begin to dry until they are loose, at which carried an open space until just dry. A separate dry powder and time when to be marketed is provided in an amount suitable for transportation profitable.</p> <p> Medicinal uses</p> <p>A number of these compounds have pharmaceutical uses.<sup>[3]</sup> Of particular pharmaceutical interest is voacangine, which is a common precursor in the semi-synthesis of the anti-addiction medication ibogaine.

<h2><strong>Sacred Lotus Seeds (Nelumbo nucifera)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 2 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Nelumbo is a genus of aquatic plants with large, showy flowers resembling the water lily, but not closely related to it. It is commonly called lotus, though this name may be applied to other genera, and there is an unrelated genus Lotus. The generic name is derived from the Sinhalese word Nelum. There are only two known living species in the genus. The sacred lotus (N. nucifera) is native to Asia and is the better known of the two. It is commonly cultivated, and also used in Chinese medicine and cooking. This species is the national flower of Egypt, India and Vietnam. The American lotus (N. lutea) is native to North America and the Caribbean. Horticultural hybrids have been produced between these two geographically separated species. A third, extinct species, N. aureavallis, is known from Eocene fossils from North Dakota, United States.</p> <p><strong>Classification</strong></p> <p>There is residual disagreement over which family the genus should be placed in. Traditional classification systems recognized Nelumbo as part of the Nymphaeaceae (water lily) family, but traditional taxonomists were likely misled by evolutionary convergences associated with an evolutionary shift from a terrestrial to an aquatic lifestyle. In the older classification systems it was recognized under the biological order Nymphaeales or Nelumbonales. Nelumbo is currently recognized as its own family, Nelumbonaceae, one of several distinctive families in the eudicot order Proteales. Its closest living relatives, the (Proteaceae and Platanaceae), are shrubs or trees.</p> <p>The leaves of Nelumbo can be distinguished from those of genera in the Nymphaeaceae as they are peltate, that is they have fully circular leaves. Nymphaea, on the other hand, has a single characteristic notch from the edge in to the center of the lily pad. The seedpod of Nelumbo is very distinctive.</p> <p><strong>Superhydrophobicity</strong></p> <p>The leaves of nelumbo are highly water repellent (superhydrophobic). They have given the name to what is called the lotus effect.</p> <p><strong>Thermoregulation</strong></p> <p>N. nucifera regulates its temperature in order to benefit insects that are needed for it to reproduce. When the plant flowers, it heats its blossoms to above 30 °C (86 °F) for as long as four days even when the air is as cool as 10 °C (50 °F). The heat releases an aroma that attracts certain insects, which fly into the flower to feed on nectar and pollen. According to Roger Seymour and Paul Schultze-Motel of Australia’s University of Adelaide, the heat also rewards insects with a stable environment that enhances their ability to eat, mate, and prepare for flight.</p> <div class="rte"> <h2><span><strong>Video:</strong><br /></span></h2> <h2><span style="color:#f80606;"><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkI9-rhumbs" target="_blank" class="btn btn-default" rel="noreferrer noopener"> How To Grow Lotus From Seeds </a></strong></span></h2> </div>

It is native to Japan, China, and Korea, but it is used throughout the world as an ornamental plant in landscaping and as cut foliage.</span></p> <p><span>It is an evergreen shrub which can reach 10 m (33 ft) tall by 3 m (10 ft) broad,[2] and can become treelike. It can also be trimmed into a hedge. The leaves are oval in shape with edges that curl under and measure up to 10 cm (4 in) in length. They are leathery, hairless, and darker and shinier on the upper surfaces. The inflorescence is a cluster of fragrant flowers occurring at the ends of branches. The flower has five white petals each about a centimetre long. The fruit is a hairy, woody capsule about 1 cm wide divided into three valves. Inside are black seeds in a bed of resinous pulp.</span></p> <p><span>The binomial qualifier tobira derives from the Japanese name for the plant.</span></p> <p><span>This shrub is a common, drought-tolerant and fairly hardy landscaping plant. Many cultivars have been developed, including dwarf forms and the popular 'Variegata', which has variegated leaves. It is used for hedges, living privacy screens, and indoor and outdoor planter boxes. The stems, leaves, and dried fruits are used in flower arrangements.</span></p> <p><span>The species and the cultivar 'Variegatum' have both gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.</span></p> <p><span>Common pests of this plant include various aphids, mites, and leafhoppers, the cotton cushiony scale (Icerya purchasi), and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). It can be attacked by the pit-making pittosporum scale (Planchonia arabidis). It is vulnerable to the fungal plant pathogen Erythricium salmonicolor, which causes galls and the dieback disease known as pink limb blight.</span></p>

De boom kan een hoogte bereiken van 25 tot 35 meter.</span></p> <p>De tamme kastanje is herkenbaar aan de lange, grof gezaagde<span> </span>lancetvormige<span> </span>bladeren. Deze zijn glanzend donkergroen aan de bovenzijde en de onderzijde is iets lichter. Na het uitlopen van de bladeren verschijnen de hoofdjesachtige mannelijke bloemen die als een parelsnoer aan rechtopstaande, lange katjes zitten. De vrouwelijke bloemen bevinden zich aan de basis van de katjes, omgeven door een groene, schubachtig bebladerde vruchtbeker. Kevertjes, vliegen en bijen zijn de bestuivers van de tamme kastanje. Van de mannelijke bloemen gaat een geur uit die kevers aanlokt en op de stempel bevindt zich een zoetsmakend druppeltje nectar. Aan de rijpe vrucht blijft vaak de mannelijke, aarvormige bloeiwijze zitten.</p> <p>De vruchten zijn leerachtige, glanzend bruine noten. Meestal zitten er drie bijeen in een geelbruine, gestekelde, vrij grote vruchtbeker (cupola). Deze openen zich met vier kleppen. De stekels zijn een soort afweerwapen tegen de voortijdige aanval door vogels en eekhoorns.</p> <p>Meerstammigheid is een bekend verschijnsel bij de tamme kastanje.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Vrucht">Vrucht</span></h3> <p>De<span> </span>vrucht<span> </span>van de tamme kastanje is een<span> </span>noot<span> </span>die met twee tot vier stuks in een<span> </span>bolster (napje)<span> </span>zitten. Deze bolster wordt gevormd door schutbladen. De vruchten ("kastanjes") kunnen, nadat de stekelige bolster is verwijderd, worden gekookt, geschild en gegeten. Dit is in tegenstelling tot de kastanjes van de giftige<span> </span>paardenkastanje<span> </span>(<i>Aesculus hippocastanum</i>), die overigens bij een geheel andere<span> </span>familie<span> </span>behoort, de<span> </span>zeepboomfamilie<span> </span>(<i>Sapindaceae</i>).

Zij zorgen ervoor dat de bomen zich in het wild verspreiden.</p> <p>Ook veel insecten eten van de kastanjes, waarvan<span> </span><i>Curculio elephas</i><span> </span>de belangrijkste is.

Daar groeit hij in mediterrane eikenbossen in gebieden met warme zomers en zachte winters, meestal op silicaathoudend gesteente. Ten noorden van de Alpen is het een oude cultuurplant en vaak verwilderd.</p> <p>Men heeft verondersteld dat de Romeinen de tamme kastanje naar Noord-Europa gebracht hebben. Volgens nieuwe onderzoekingen groeide hij daar al tijdens het late ijzertijdperk rond 200 voor Christus. Mogelijk hebben de Kelten de eetbare vruchten meegenomen en voor verspreiding gezorgd. Dat lukte vooral in de warmere gebieden van het Rijndal. Later gingen de Romeinen de tamme kastanje steeds vaker verbouwen om hun legioenen van voedsel te voorzien. In middeleeuwse kloostertuinen werd hij doelgericht aangeplant.</p> <p>In Zuid-Engeland staan heel grote exemplaren. In Noord-Amerika zijn de aaneengesloten bossen van de Amerikaanse tamme kastanje (<i>Castanea dentata</i>) door de kastanjepest voor het grootste deel verdwenen.</p> <h3><span id="Verspreiding_in_Belgi.C3.AB_en_Nederland"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Verspreiding_in_België_en_Nederland">Verspreiding in België en Nederland</span></h3> <p>In Nederland en België komt de boom verwilderd voor en verder op oude landgoederen. Hij is hier ingevoerd door de<span> </span>Romeinen<span> </span>vanwege de vruchten. Met name in het zuidoosten van Nederland zijn vrij veel oudere tamme kastanjes te vinden. Monumentale exemplaren zijn te vinden bij<span> </span>Beek-Ubbergen<span> </span>(de Kabouterboom in het Kastanjedal), in<span> </span>Arnhem<span> </span>en op diverse plaatsen in<span> </span>Limburg.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Plantengemeenschap">Plantengemeenschap</span></h2> <p>De tamme kastanje is een<span> </span>kensoort<span> </span>voor het<span> </span>zomereik-verbond<span> </span>(<i>Quercion roboris</i>).</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Gebruik">Gebruik</span></h2> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Culinair">Culinair</span></h3> <p>De vruchten van de tamme kastanje kunnen, in tegenstelling tot die van de<span> </span>paardenkastanje, gegeten worden.

Ook kan men gedroogde kastanjes verwerken in meel.</p> <p>In talloze landen in met name Midden-Europa worden<span> </span>gepofte<span> </span>kastanjes meteen na de oogst in de nazomer op straat verkocht. In veel landen, onder andere in Frankrijk, Zuid-Tirol en Hongarije is de<span> </span>kastanjepuree<span> </span>("crème de marron", "gesztenyepüré") geliefd in desserts of als bijgerecht. Kastanjepuree is in<span> </span>blik<span> </span>of gemalen uit de diepvries te koop. In Nederland worden kastanjes wel gepoft of gekookt.</p> <p>In het Italiaanse<span> </span>Casola in Lunigiana<span> </span>worden gedroogde tamme kastanjes gemalen en het meel gebruikt voor het bakken van het brood<span> </span><i>la marocca di Casola</i>, dat voor het grootste deel uit tammekastanjemeel bestaat en verder aangevuld wordt met tarwebloem.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Hout">Hout</span></h3> <p>Het hout van de boom is uitstekend timmerhout: het lijkt qua kleur en structuur op<span> </span>eikenhout.

Hierdoor verkleurt het hout in contact met ijzer. Het wordt veel gebruikt om hekken van te maken.</p> <p>Het hout van de tamme kastanje is fijnvezelig en zeer goed bestand tegen vocht. Het is houdbaarder dan eikenhout en daarom zeer geschikt voor het vervaardigen van tuinmeubels, bruggen, steunpalen voor druivenstokken en vaten.</p> <p><b>Eigenschappen</b><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"></sup></p> <ul> <li>Duurzaamheidsklasse : II kernhout, V spinthout</li> <li>Volumieke massa : 600 kg/m³</li> <li>Radiale krimp : 0,6 - 0,7 %</li> <li>Tangentiale krimp : 0,9 - 1,3 %</li> <li>Werken : 1,5 - 2 %</li> </ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Levensduur">Levensduur</span></h2> <p>De tamme kastanje heeft een levensverwachting van 200 tot 500 jaar.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[4]</sup><span> </span>Op het Italiaanse eiland<span> </span>Sicilië<span> </span>staat in de gemeente<span> </span>Sant'Alfio, op de hellingen van de vulkaan<span> </span>Etna, een tamme kastanje, de<span> </span>Kastanjeboom van de Honderd Paarden, die ongeveer 2500 jaar oud zou zijn.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference">[5]</sup></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Naamgeving">Naamgeving</span></h2> <p>Zijn naam heeft de tamme kastanje waarschijnlijk te danken aan de Griekse stad Kastanéia in<span> </span>Pontus, een historische landstreek aan de kust van de Zwarte Zee, waar men hem op grote schaal cultiveerde.

Wintergreen is a member of the Heath family that forms large mats of glossy green groundcover in the woods. This creeping, rhizomatous shrublet grows to 6 inches tall with scalloped or bristly toothed, glossy, dark green leaves which turn reddish with the advent of cold weather. Foliage has a strong wintergreen scent when crushed. Bell-shaped, nodding, white or pale pink flowers appear in May thru summer and mature to aromatic scarlet fruit that often persists through the winter. This semi-woody, aromatic perennial has creeping underground stems, thus forming small colonies of plants.<br /><br />Wintergreen is the source of wintergreen oil, which is used as a flavoring in candies, chewing gum and some medicine. The leaves are used as a tea.<br />Wintergreen was used by Native Americans to brew a tea. Mohawks, as well as Ojibwes and others, knew the tea as medicinal as well as a healthful beverage. It contains methyl salycliates, the active pain killlers of aspirin, useful for colds, headaches and to bring down fevers. Such names as "teaberry" emphasize importance as a year-round beverage and as a food flavoring for meat and fish cooked with fermented leaves. The berries are cooked into pies and eaten raw during the winter by some tribes. The genus was named for Dr. Gaultier, a Canadian physician of the mid-18th century.<br /><br />Leaf: Alternate, simple, evergreen, oval to elliptical, 1 to 2 inches long, minutely serrated, thickened with a wintergreen odor when crushed, leaves appear whorled since they cluster at tips of plant; dark shiny green above, much paler below often with black dots. <br /><br />Flower: Monoecious; small, 1/4 inch, white, urn-shaped, hanging from short stems from leaf axils, appearing in mid to late summer. <br /><br />Fruit: Red, round, 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter, hanging beneath the leaves, mild wintergreen taste, ripen in late summer and persist into winter. <br /><br />Twig: Slender, green turning brown with age. <br /><br />Bark: Light brown. <br /><br />Form: Low plant with a height of only 3 to 5 inches; stems shoot out of the ground and end in a tight cluster of leaves. <br /><br />Wildlife: Fruit is eaten by a variety of mammals and birds including: chipmunks, deer, grouse and partridge. Leaves are browsed by deer and moose.<br /><br />Other Names: Box Berry, Checkerberry, Deerberry, Eastern Teaberry, Ground Holly, Mountain Tea, Creeping Wintergreen, Ground Tea, Partridge-Berry, Petit the du bois (Quebec, "little tea of the woods"), Redberry Wintergreen, Spice Berry, Teaberry, Winisibugons (Ojibwe, "dirty leaf").<br /><br />Zone: 3 to 8<br />Growth Rate: Slow<br />Plant Type: Perennial Ground Cover<br />Family: Ericaceae<br />Native Range: Eastern North America<br />Height: 2 to 6 inches<br />Spread: 12 to 16 inches. <br />Shape: Ground Cover.

The leaves are alternate, simple, 10–22 cm long and 4.5–8 cm broad, with a toothed margin. The flowers are produced in catkins 4–20 cm long, with the female flowers at the base of the catkin and males on the rest. The fruit is a densely spiny cupule 4–8 cm diameter, containing two or three glossy brown nuts; these are 2–3 cm diameter on wild trees. The scientific name mollissima derives from the softly downy shoots and young leaves.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Taxonomy</span></strong></p> <p><span>Synonyms: Castanea bungeana Blume; C. duclouxii Dode; C. fargesii Dode; C. formosana (Hayata) Hayata; C. hupehensis Dode; C. mollissima var. pendula X.

In the provinces of Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Nei Mongol, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan, and Zhejiang, and also to Taiwan and Korea. It grows close to sea level in the north of its range, and at altitudes of up to 2,800 m in the south of the range. The species prefers full sun and acidic, loamy soil, and has a medium growth rate.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Ecology</span></strong></p> <p><span>When cultivated close to other species of chestnut (including Japanese chestnut, C. crenata; American chestnut, C. dentata; and sweet chestnut, C. sativa), Chinese chestnut readily cross-pollinates with them to form hybrids.</span></p> <p><span>Chinese chestnuts have evolved over a long period of time in coexistence with the bark fungal disease chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica, formerly Endothia parasitica), and have evolved a very successful resistance to the blight, probably more so than any other species of chestnut, so that, although it is not immune, it typically sustains no more than minor damage when infected. It's important to realize, though, that Chinese chestnut trees vary considerably in blight resistance. Some individuals are quite susceptible while others are essentially immune to the disease.[4] Japanese chestnut is also comparatively resistant to blight, with European chestnut somewhat less so. In the 1890s, Chinese and Japanese chestnuts were imported to the United States with the intention of utilizing them as orchard trees due to their small, compact size compared to the towering American chestnut. The results unfortunately were disastrous as the imported Asian species introduced blight to which C. dentata lacked any resistance. The disease was first noticed on a tree in the Brooklyn Zoo in 1902 and quickly spread all out of control, ravaging American chestnuts. Within 30 years, there were very few left in their native range. An active program has been pursued in North America to cross-breed the Chinese and American chestnuts to try to maximize various desirable traits of the American chestnut, such as larger stature, larger leaf size, larger nut size, and greater nut sweetness, while also isolating and carrying the blight resistance from the Chinese chestnut.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Uses</span></strong></p> <p><span>The nuts are edible, and the tree is widely cultivated in eastern Asia; over 300 cultivars have been selected for nut production, subdivided into five major regional groups: Northern, Yangtze River Valley, Sichuan and Guizhou, Southern, and Southwestern. Besides that, the Dandong chestnut (belonging to the Japanese chestnut – Castanea crenata) is a major cultivar in Liaoning Province.[6] Some cultivars, such as 'Kuling', 'Meiling', and 'Nanking', have large nuts up to 4 cm diameter. The nuts are sweet, and considered by some to have the best taste of any chestnut,[7] though others state they are not as good as the American chestnut.[8] The nuts also provide a significant food source for wildlife.</span></p> </body> </html>

<h2><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Finger Grape Seeds</span></em></strong></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p>Finger table grapes have elongated purple drupes. They look like small maroon chili peppers, tightly clustered together on bright green stems. The grapes have a crisp, thin skin over pale flesh. Witch Fingers have a very sweet flavor, not overly tannic and low in acidity. The overall taste is reminiscent of plums. Fingers is a grape grown for its flavor and appearance.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Seasons/Availability</strong></p> <p>Fingers grapes are available for a short time mid-summer.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Current Facts</strong></p> <p>Fingers grapes were created by a process of hybridization, using hand pollination, between an American cultivar developed by the University Of Arkansas Division Of Agriculture and a Mediterranean variety. Using these techniques, producers came up with a great tasting grape with a very interesting look.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Applications</strong></p> <p>Finger grapes were grown to be table grapes, enjoyed fresh out of hand. They would make a nice addition to fruit salads, offering something different than the average red grape. Witch Finger grapes pair well with mild cheeses and nuts and make a great snack for kids who find both the shape and taste appealing.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Geography/History</strong></p> <p>Finger grapes are grown exclusively for commercial distribution at only one vineyard in the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield, California. These finger-shaped grapes were developed through a breeding program with International Fruit Genetics, and were first grown in 2002. It took several years of selective breeding to find the perfect crop. They are sold at local farmer’s markets in Southern California and packaged for commercial markets nationwide.</p> <p> </p>

<h2 class=""><strong>Fluweelrozijnen, wilde bessen, zaden (Grewia flava)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Prijs voor een verpakking van 10 zaden.</strong></span></h2> Grewia flava is een winterharde struik of kleine boom van 2-4 m hoog. De grijze bast op de jonge takken, die gewoonlijk bedekt is met dik groeiende maar vrij korte haren, neigt naar donkergrijs en wordt glad naarmate de boom ouder wordt; dit is ook te merken aan de stengels. De grijsgroene bladeren zijn afwisselend gerangschikt en bedekt met fijne haren en het lijkt aan de onderkant van de bladeren een lichtere tint groen te zijn. De top (punt van de bladeren) is afgerond, terwijl de bladrand gezaagd is. Drie opvallende nerven vanaf de bladvoet zijn kenmerkend voor deze boom; ook een 2 mm lange bladsteel valt goed op.<br><br>De bloemen verschijnen in vertakte koppen van de vroege zomer tot halverwege de herfst (oktober tot maart) en hebben een diameter van ongeveer 10-15 mm.<br><br>De 2-lobbige vrucht is ± 8 mm in doorsnee, groen en verkleurt bij rijpheid roodbruin. Het spinthout lijkt licht en het hardhout is bruin, met een fijne structuur.<br><br>De bladeren en vruchten worden genoten door het gedomesticeerde vee, maar ook door wilde dieren zoals Kudu en Giraffe en een grote verscheidenheid aan vogels.<br><br> <h3><strong>Toepassingen</strong></h3> De schors van de brandewijn werd vaak gebruikt om touw te maken. De vruchten worden nog steeds gebruikt om een ​​soort brandewijn of ‘mampoer’ te versterken. Het zoete, met vitamine C verrijkte fruit kan ook op zichzelf worden genoten. Traditioneel werd pap bereid van het gedroogde fruit nadat het tot bloem was verwerkt. Het hout is hard en fijnkorrelig en wordt gebruikt voor stokken. Eerdere jagers, zoals de San-gemeenschap, maakten hun pijl en boog van de takken van deze plant.<br><br> <h3><strong>Grewia flava kweken</strong></h3> Deze plant groeit het beste in goed doorlatende grond en in de volle zon. Het is vrij veilig om te worden geplant in de buurt van verharde gebieden in de tuin, aangezien het geen agressief wortelstelsel heeft. Vanwege de overvloed aan bloemen kan het met succes worden gebruikt als een centraal punt in de tuin.<br><br>De plant is redelijk winterhard en kan vorst verdragen. Te veel water geven moet worden vermeden wanneer de plant is gevestigd.<br><br>De beste voortplantingsmethode is door zaden. Selecteer verse zaden, maak ze schoon en droog ze in een goed geventileerde schaduwrijke ruimte. Week de zaden minimaal 24 uur in water, het eerste water moet heet water zijn. Zaai de zaden in zaailingenbakken en bedek ze ongeveer 5 mm diep; gebruik alleen rivierzand als groeimedium. Zet de bakjes op een warme beschutte plek. Laat het groeimedium niet uitdrogen. Voor een succesvolle ontkieming moet een constant vochtniveau worden gehandhaafd. De ontkieming van de zaden is meestal inconsistent, er is een slagingspercentage van ongeveer 50-70% waargenomen. Zaailingen kunnen in containers worden geplant wanneer ze het stadium met twee bladeren bereiken.

Belladonna is een meerjarige, gezaaide, vertakte plant die tot 1,5 meter hoog kan worden, met bladeren van 12-13 cm lang en een paarse stengel. Het sterft in de winter en loopt weer uit in het voorjaar.</p> <p>Eeuwenlang hebben heksen het gebruikt in formules, Venetiaanse vrouwen in het algemeen, en in het bijzonder "nachtdames" voor het verwijden van de ogen, en het wordt momenteel gebruikt als remedie tegen reisziekte, IBS en andere darmaandoeningen. Belladonna werd ook gebruikt om hele legers te vergiftigen in de oorlog. Er wordt gezegd dat Satan persoonlijk voor deze plant en zijn kleine "duivelskersen" zorgde.</p> <p>Bevat psychotrope / giftige / levensreddende alkaloïden, waaronder atropine. Deze plant is een medicijn, een hallucinogeen en een gif. De dood kan (en gebeurt) door slecht geïnformeerde mensen, bijvoorbeeld door te veel rijpe bessen in taarten te eten, dus doe dat niet. De bessen zijn heerlijk (ik heb ze zelf opgegeten en ze zijn best lekker). Dit is een plant die het hoofdbestanddeel is van de geheime formule-drank "Flying Formula" die heksen al eeuwenlang gebruiken.</p> <p>Dit kruid kan je echt het gevoel geven dat je ziel op reis is, maar te veel consumeren kan fataal zijn. Het kan ook worden gebruikt als tegengif voor gasvergiftiging.</p> <h3><strong>Cultuur</strong></h3> <p>Het kan worden vermeerderd door zaden of stekken te zaaien, hoewel het gebruik van zaden meer wordt aanbevolen. De zaden moeten een paar uur voor het zaaien in heet water worden gezet. Ze hebben tijd nodig om te ontkiemen en ze hebben een hoge luchtvochtigheid en warmte nodig, en met behoud van alle noodzakelijke omstandigheden is de ontkieming niet geweldig. Planten zullen het compostsubstraat met mest en een vochtige, schaduwrijke omgeving waarderen. Nitraten en ammoniakzouten zijn de beste meststof om de hoeveelheid alkaloïden te verdubbelen.</p> <h3><strong>WIKIPEDIA:</strong></h3> <p><b>Wolfskers</b><span> </span>(<i>Atropa belladonna</i>) (ook:<span> </span><b>belladonna</b><span> </span>of<span> </span><b>slaapbes</b><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[1]</sup>) is een<span> </span>vaste plant<span> </span>uit de<span> </span>nachtschadefamilie<span> </span>(<i>Solanaceae</i>).
