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, C₂₂H₂₉N₂O₃ (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.^[3] 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>

<h2><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Japanese Pittosporum, Mock Orange, Japanese Cheesewood Seeds (Pittosporum tobira)</strong></span></h2> <h2><span style="color: #fb0303; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p><span>Pittosporum tobira is a species of flowering plant in the Pittosporum family known by several common names, including Australian laurel, Japanese pittosporum, mock orange and Japanese cheesewood. 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>

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. Creeps underground to form mats.<br />Bloom Time: May thru Summer.<br />Bloom Color: Urn-shaped, white with hints of pink.<br />Sun: Full to Part Shade<br />Fall Color: Leaves develop reddish tinge in cold weather.<br />Drought Tolerance: Very low to none. Needs moist soil.<br />Water: Medium to High<br />Maintenance: Low<br /><br />Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Prefers organic, acid soils with good drainage. Needs cool, moist soil and climate.

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. Y. Zhou &amp; Z. D. Zhou; C. sativa Miller var. formosana Hayata; C. sativa var. mollissima (Blume) Pampanini; C. vulgaris Lamarck var. yunnanensis Franchet.</span></p> <p><span>In Vietnam, Chinese chestnut (Vietnamese language: hạt dẻ, Tày language: mác lịch) which are grown in Trùng Khánh district, Cao Bằng province have highest quality with 3.3-5.4% glucose, 43.36- 46.47% glucid, 1.16 – 2% lipid, 3.12 – 3.62% protein analyzed by Vietnam National Vegetable and Fruit Researching Institution in 1999.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Distribution and habitat</span></strong></p> <p><span>Naturally an understory tree, Chinese chestnut has been cultivated in East Asia for millennia and its exact original range cannot be determined. 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 class=""><strong>Stafidă de catifea, coacăz sălbatic, semințe (Grewia flava)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Prețul pentru un pachet de 10 semințe.</strong></span></h2> Grewia flava este un arbust rezistent sau un copac mic, înalt de 2–4 m. Scoarța cenușie de pe ramurile tinere, care este de obicei acoperită cu fire groase, dar destul de scurte, tinde să devină gri închis și devine netedă cu cât copacul îmbătrânește; acest lucru se remarcă și pe tulpini. Frunzele verzui-cenușii sunt aranjate alternativ și sunt acoperite cu fire fine și par a fi o nuanță mai deschisă de verde pe partea inferioară a frunzelor. Vârful (vârful frunzelor) este rotunjit, în timp ce marginea este zimțată. Trei vene evidente de la baza frunzei sunt caracteristice acestui arbore; o tulpină de frunze lungă de 2 mm este de asemenea foarte vizibilă.<br><br>Florile apar în capete ramificate de la începutul verii până la mijlocul toamnei (octombrie-martie) și au un diametru de aproximativ 10–15 mm.<br><br>Fructul cu 2 lobi are un diametru de ± 8 mm, verde, devenind maroniu-roșcat când este copt. Alburnul pare a fi ușor, iar lemnul tare este maro, cu o textură fină.<br><br>Frunzele și fructele se bucură de animalele domestice, precum și de animalele sălbatice, cum ar fi Kudu și girafa și o mare varietate de păsări.<br><br> <h3><strong>Utilizări</strong></h3> Coaja de țuică a fost adesea folosită pentru fabricarea frânghiei. Fructele sunt încă folosite pentru a spori un fel de coniac sau „mampoer”. Fructul dulce îmbogățit cu vitamina C poate fi savurat și singur. În mod tradițional, terciul a fost preparat din fructele uscate după prelucrarea acestuia în făină. Lemnul este dur și cu granulație fină și este folosit pentru bețișoare. Vânătorii anteriori, precum comunitatea San, obișnuiau să-și facă arcurile și săgețile din ramurile acestei plante.<br><br> <h3><strong>În creștere Grewia flava</strong></h3> Această plantă va crește cel mai bine în sol bine drenat și într-o poziție plină de soare. Este destul de sigur să fie plantat lângă zone pavate în grădina domestică, văzând că nu are un sistem rădăcină agresiv. Datorită abundenței florilor, poate fi folosită cu succes ca punct focal în grădină.<br><br>Planta este destul de rezistentă și poate rezista la îngheț. Supra-udarea trebuie evitată atunci când planta este înființată.<br><br>Cea mai bună metodă de propagare este prin semințe. Selectați semințe proaspete, curățați-le și uscați-le într-o zonă umbrită bine ventilată. Înmuiați semințele în apă timp de cel puțin 24 de ore, apa inițială trebuie să fie apă fierbinte. Semănați semințele în tăvi pentru răsaduri și acoperiți-le cu o adâncime de aproximativ 5 mm; folosiți numai nisip de râu ca mediu de creștere. Așezați tăvile într-o zonă adăpostită caldă. Nu lăsați mediul de creștere să se usuce. Pentru a germina cu succes, trebuie menținut un nivel constant de umiditate. Germinarea semințelor este de obicei inconsistentă, s-a observat o rată de succes de aproximativ 50-70%. Răsadurile pot fi plantate în containere atunci când ajung la stadiul de 2 frunze.

Belladonna este o plantă perenă, însămânțată, ramificată, care crește până la 1,5 metri înălțime, cu frunze de 12-13 cm lungime și o tulpină purpurie. Moare iarna și încolțește din nou primăvara.</p> <p>Timp de secole, vrăjitoarele l-au folosit în formule, femeile venețiene în general și în special „doamnele de noapte” pentru lărgirea ochilor și este utilizat în prezent ca remediu împotriva bolilor de mișcare, IBS și alte tulburări intestinale. Belladonna a fost folosită și pentru otrăvirea armatelor întregi în război. Se spune că Satana s-a ocupat personal de această plantă și de micile sale „cireșe ale diavolului”.</p> <p>Conține alcaloizi psihotropi / toxici / de salvare, inclusiv atropină. Această plantă este un medicament, un halucinogen și o otravă. Moartea poate (și se întâmplă) de la oameni neinformați, de exemplu, mâncând prea multe fructe coapte în plăcinte, așa că nu faceți asta. Boabele sunt delicioase (le-am mâncat și eu și sunt destul de gustoase). Aceasta este o plantă care este ingredientul principal al formulei secrete-băutură „Formula zburătoare” pe care vrăjitoarele o folosesc de secole.</p> <p>Această plantă te poate face să simți că sufletul tău călătorește, dar consumul prea mult poate fi fatal. Poate fi folosit și ca antidot pentru otrăvirea cu gaze.</p> <h3><strong>Cultură</strong></h3> <p>Poate fi propagat prin însămânțarea semințelor sau butași, deși utilizarea semințelor este mai recomandată. Semințele trebuie puse în apă fierbinte cu câteva ore înainte de însămânțare. Au nevoie de timp pentru a germina și au nevoie de umiditate și căldură ridicate și, în timp ce mențin toate condițiile necesare, germinarea nu este grozavă. Plantele vor aprecia substratul de compost cu gunoi de grajd și un mediu umed, umbros. Nitrații și sărurile de amoniac sunt cel mai bun îngrășământ pentru a dubla cantitatea de alcaloizi.</p> <h3><strong>WIKIPEDIA:</strong></h3> <p><b>Mătrăguna</b><span> </span>(<i>Atropa belladonna</i>) este o<span> </span>specie<span> </span>de plante erbacee , perene prin rizom , care face parte din genul<span> </span>Atropa, familia<span> </span>Solanaceae, alături de<span> </span><i>Mandragora officinarum</i>.
