Agricultural technology for growing Caesalpinia Pulcherrima seeds
1. Choosing a landing site
Caesalpinia is a light-loving plant, so it must be planted in well-lit areas. Caesalpinia also tolerates partial shade well, but in this case it will bloom less profusely.
Caesalpinia does not tolerate strong winds, so it must be planted in places protected from the wind.
2. Soil preparation
Caesalpinia prefers fertile, well-drained soils. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Caesalpinia can be planted as seeds or seedlings.
When sowing seeds, the seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
When planting seedlings, seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 1-2 m from each other.
4. Caring for Caesalpinia
Caesalpinia is an unpretentious plant, but to obtain good flowering and fruiting it is necessary to carry out the following care measures:
- Watering: Caesalpinia needs regular watering. It is necessary to water the plant abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out. Watering is especially important in hot weather and during drought.
- Feeding: Caesalpinia needs regular feeding. It is necessary to feed the plant 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
- Weeding: It is necessary to weed regularly so that they do not choke the plants.
- Pruning: Caesalpinia does not need pruning, but it can be done to form the crown of the plant. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
5. Harvest
The fruits of Caesalpinia ripen in August-September. The fruits are harvested by hand when they are fully ripe.
6. Diseases and pests
Caesalpinia is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, the plant may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
Caesalpinia is an ornamental, medicinal and food plant.
- Ornamental plant: Caesalpinia is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas.
- Medicinal plant: Caesalpinia is used to treat various diseases, including diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and nervous system.
- Food plant: The fruits of Caesalpinia are edible. They have a pleasant taste and are used raw for food, as well as for preparing various dishes.
