Kislitsa purple, or oxalis

Kislitsa violet, or oxalis, is a perennial plant with many subspecies. This flower is now very popular, because it can be grown not only in indoor conditions, but also in the garden.

The plant has a multicolored foliage that attracts attention. She has two shades - purple and green.

Today, such varieties have already been hatched, in which it is painted simultaneously in both colors, which gives the culture a very elegant appearance.

Kislitsa violet is known for its pink, yellow or white small flowers, which look incredibly attractive against the background of bright foliage. And the plant blooms for a long time, so it pleases the eye long enough.

Initially, the oxalis throws an arrow, which, however, is not longer than its leaves, so it is not particularly conspicuous. And only then on its top there is an umbrella with an inflorescence.

In some peoples, it is believed that purple purple brings happiness to the home. It is often presented as a New Year's gift. In our country this plant is called a "butterfly flower", because its leaves are folded in the same way as a moth, when lighting changes.

Oxalis needs to choose the right place. It has the feature of folding its leaves at night or in cloudy gloomy weather, and in the light of their opening. Therefore, the best for sour is a place without an overabundance, but without lack of sunlight. In addition, in the dark, the decorative appearance of the flower is lost, and bright light leads to leaf burns.

Kislitsa is purple, care of which is not particularly complicated, very fond of cool areas and requires regular watering. In nature, it lives on the banks of water bodies or in moist soils under the shade of trees.

This plant is very unpretentious, although some of its varieties have periods of rest, during which the entire terrestrial part dies. At this time, the temperature of the surrounding air should be low, about twelve degrees, which is almost impossible in an apartment. Therefore, such species grow better in the gardens.

In winter, watering the sour should be cut, trying to keep the soil in a slightly wet state. And in dry weather, purple purple is very fond of a "warm shower" with boiled water.

Feeding must be done every twenty days during its active growth. Mineral complex fertilizers should not be misused, as they do not particularly like acid. In addition, you need to periodically loosen the soil so that the top dressing reaches the roots.

For planting, purple purple prefers earth mixtures consisting of sand with humus. They fall asleep in the pot, on the bottom of which previously placed pebbles. The transplant is performed three years ago for adults and one for young plants.

Kislitsa purple, the reproduction of which is carried out with the help of root knob-nodules, is resistant to pests. Planting material is laid out on the ground, and then covered with a centimeter layer of earth.

In conditions of thickening, the flower does not grow very well, so a ten-centimeter gap is left between the nodules when planting. At the same time, you need to know that the lush flowering of the oxalis is associated with the timing of planting.
