When we buy fruit in shop, we get stone absolutely free of charge. And from it it is possible to grow up fine plant which will not only please with the exterior, but also, perhaps, to yield fruits. However, you should not expect fast harvest, at best there will pass 6-8 years before you receive the first ovary.
It is required to you
- - ripe fruit;
- - water;
- - potassium permanganate solution;
- - gauze or bandage;
- - plastic bag;
- - pot;
- - drainage or small stones;
- - earth;
- - polyethylene film.
Instruction
1. Take ripe or overripe fruit and accurately take out from it stone, without having damaged its top layer. Wash out it under warm water. Make rather weak solution of potassium permanganate, it it will be required very little. Take piece of bandage or gauze and wet in solution. Then wrap stone in material.
2. Wrap stone in small plastic bag and tie it. Do not wind too strongly, in package there has to be a little air. Put stone in the warm space, for example, for the battery or on windowsill if on the street warm and sunny days.
3. The stone has to spend 2-3 days in package. Regularly check that solution of manganese has not evaporated, gauze (bandage) have to be constantly damp.
4. In small ceramic pot fill drainage. Instead of it it is possible to use normal small stones. Then cover capacity to top with earth. It is better to get it in shops since there with guarantee there will be no mean insects. You do not stint, take the most expensive option provided in shop. Inexpensive materials less qualitative also may contain the remains of trees.
5. Put stone in well watered earth on depth by 1.5 times big, than she. Usually they are put blunt end down. From above it is possible to powder with fertilizers, but it is not obligatory. Cover pot with polyethylene film that air inside did not get, and put in warm (but not roast!) place. Regularly check and water sapling.
6. After a while there will be sprout. If it independently has not got rid of the stone remains, accurately remove them. When the plant arises, remove film and put pot to the warm and solar place. Even if on the street summer, you do not hurry to take out plant on balcony. Room conditions will be suitable for sprouts better.
7. Regularly water plant and every day turn pot round its pivot-center by 180 degrees, it is necessary that the sapling did not become curves. If the sprout becomes too long and thin, pinch off the top leaflets, then it will grow not only in height, but also in breadth.
