Primrose is a perennial plant with stems 10-25 cm high. The primrose has a lobed root system, soft, ovate-oblong leaves with serrated edges. Primrose blooms profusely and beautifully, there are many species of this plant with different colors of flowers. The average flower size is 2-3 centimeters in diameter. The flowers are gathered in a "bouquet". Primrose blooms in early spring, and depending on the region, it can bloom in March, April, and even May.Primrose is not only a beautiful, but also a very useful plant. It is often used in folk medicine. The aboveground part, roots and flowers are used in the treatment. Primrose is used as a diaphoretic, diuretic, expectorant, it also strengthens the immune system well, improves the function of the adrenal glands, normalizes the gastrointestinal tract. Primrose contains many vitamins, phenolic glycosides, and carotene, while the roots contain essential oils and glycosides. All parts of the primrose contain a large amount of ascorbic acid. Because of the high percentage of vitamin C content, primrose is eaten in the form of salads. A decoction of dried primrose is useful for flu, acute respiratory infections, sore throat, bronchitis and rhinosinusitis. The plant also has a soothing and hypnotic effect.It is possible to grow primroses at home, but it is quite problematic, especially in indoor conditions. The fact is that the primrose needs coolness, in a warm room it will fade very quickly, flowering will stop after 4-7 days. The balcony can save the situation, the primrose will feel just wonderful there. Primrose also grows well in private gardens, in front gardens, and in pots with balconies.Lighting The primrose loves the sun and as soon as it becomes active enough, the primrose starts to grow. Even in the wild, they grow in forests, primroses choose sunny areas where the sun penetrates almost the whole day. Since primrose is a spring plant, it does not need a hot sun, but a bright one. The air temperature should not rise much. When growing primroses on the balcony, make sure that the air does not heat up too much because of the glass, even a short-term strong increase in temperature will negatively affect the condition of the primrose, its further growth and flowering.The standard and usual room temperature is too high for a primrose, if you place it in a room or kitchen, it will fade very quickly, and you will not have time to enjoy the flowering. The optimal temperature for primroses is 10-16 degrees Celsius, in winter the temperature can be 7-10 degrees. In the open ground, primroses winter well even at subzero temperatures, but natural species differ from varietal ones, the latter are more delicate and less resistant to cold. At cool temperatures, primrose grows well, blooms abundantly, and the flowers last a long time.Humidity Primaries need high humidity. In the wild, primrose blooms after snowmelt, when the soil is moist and fed with meltwater. At home, it is necessary to maintain high humidity for primroses using a tray with moss, expanded clay, and sand. A pot of primroses can be placed on this tray and water can be added there regularly. It will evaporate and make the air around the plant more humid. When growing behind a balcony, in a garden, or in a front garden, the problem is solved by itself, morning and evening dew moisturizes the plant well.Watering primaries need abundant watering, but it must be selected individually, based on the temperature regime, air humidity, and soil composition. You can not fill the primrose-it is not a swampy plant and with excess moisture it will simply rot. The soil should be slightly dried before watering. It is better to water primroses with small portions of water, but often. It should be watered into the edge of the pot or into the pan, water should not fall on the leaves. It is recommended to use meltwater, rainwater, or soft and settled water for irrigation.Top dressing For good growth, primrose needs top dressing, which is produced only in spring and summer. For top dressing, liquid complex fertilizers for indoor plants are used, which are bred 2 times weaker than recommended in the instructions. You can also feed the primrose with a weak organic fertilizer or leaf humus.Transplanting The many-year-old primrose is transplanted once a year, in late summer-early spring. The pot should be chosen wide and not deep, since the root system of the primrose is short and will not be able to master an earthen lump in a deep pot. Good drainage is also needed to drain excess water.The primer needs an acidic peat-based substrate. It will be good in the soil, made up of 4 parts of peat compost from 1 part of sand.Reproduction of a primule can be propagated by seeds, division of a bush, a leaf.Diseases are practically all diseases of primrose associated with improper watering, temperature conditions and humidity. 1xBet Sports & Casino Bonus.
