How to harvest the harvest

In order to collect cyanuha for therapeutic purposes, one should go to the forest or forest-steppe zone, on the edge or meadow, on the river or lake bank.The main thing for cyanosis is that the soil is rich in humus, and the place is damp and preferably swampy. It grows most often in groups, but there are also single plants that are lost among various shrubs. But the flower growers decided to tame the wild bluebush, and now it grows in flowerbeds, and gives good shoots when sowing and self-sowing, which can be planted.

In order to get a decent harvest of this plant, you need to pick up a plot in the valley, so that the groundwater is not at a great depth and could feed the roots. Cyanosis is very fond of moisture and endures cold, but may die due to strong heat, as well as if it is in the soil strongly acidic or with a high salt content.

In order for the harvest to be excellent, it is necessary to select only those seeds that have fully ripened for planting. This period can be determined by the color of the boxes - they then turn brown. To get the seeds, gently shake the box over a clean sheet of paper. Then harvested, lay larger and dried.

Sowing is done in an ordinary way. You can plant cyanuha:

1. Before the winter season. Then the soil should be selected with a flat stretch, and non-floating.Before planting seeds will need to process the soil - to level and compact.
2. In the spring, in the first sunny days. But before the seeds are placed in wet sand and left for 4 days. The plant during this time begins to germinate, and it is planted in the ground. If the air temperature reaches 18 - 20 degrees, the weather is good, it means that all favorable conditions are created for growth, and the first shoots appear after 5 days. Now we need weeding, watering and loosening. In cyanosis has a positive quality - it can self-reprove. So, if the planting was done too thickly, the plant itself will solve this problem. Spring will need to fertilize the soil between the rows.

In medicine, the root and rhizome are widely used, as they contain many useful substances. However, in everyday life, flowers and grass also found their application. The root system is harvested as a raw material, collecting in the fall, when the above-ground part of the plant is prepared for winter and gradually dies off. Before you dig up a plant, you need to remember that it is in the power of a person to allow the blue cyanoba to continue to multiply and give health, or die completely.

In the soil, after digging, small parts of the plant that have not yet matured, or a small percentage of each individual undergrowth, must be left for the plant to regain its strength and be able to restore the lost numbers. The roots are separated from the stem using a sharply sharpened cutting tool and then subjected to a water procedure. Roots washed under running cold water. If there are large rhizomes, it is desirable to cut them. Dry the entire crop in a cool, but dry place. Allowed to dry in the oven.
