How to grow a golden mustache at home?

Golden mustache is also called fragrant callis, the official name is Fragrant Spironema. It is a plant of the commeline family, which has more than 50 genera and ten times as many species.

The homeland of the golden mustache is South America, and the relative is Tradescantia. They began to accustom the plant to "home life" about 100 years ago, it came to Russia only a couple of decades ago and immediately won the fame of the people's doctor, standing next to aloe, geranium and Kalanchoe.

Features of the golden mustache

Many growers call the golden mustache dichorizandra, not spironoma. They are two different plants that belong to the same family. They are similar in appearance, which causes confusion.

Dichorizandra has no "antennae" at all, and its flowers are purple, not white. Moreover, it has no healing properties and can only be used as a decoration. Her growing conditions are also different.

Golden mustache can cope with a variety of ailments - it was not for nothing that in ancient times it was called “Living water". Also the names "Mexican mustache" and "Corn ginseng" took root. It is believed that the plant got to Europe through imported foreign goods, the path of which ran through the monasteries and temples of the East.

Local monks first used a modest flower as a decoration for their homes, and soon discovered it too. healing properties, after which its cultivation began. In their hands, the flower began to be called "Oriental mustache" or "Plant of the East".

Surely the monks did not immediately decide to share their discovery with the world, but over time the mystery ceased to be such. They started talking about the plant, began to value the weight of precious metals and finally renamed it a golden mustache.

The appearance of a golden mustache

It is a large perennial plant that can grow up to a meter in height. True, it grows rather slowly, at home it grows up to 30 cm in height and up to 100-120 cm in width. If there is support, the stems crawl up, otherwise they spread along the ground.

As you grow bumps form on the trunkgradually turning into separate shoots - "whiskers". They, in turn, consist of several "joints" and end in leaf rosettes. This is the first type of shoot that is suitable for propagation when the "whiskers" turn purple.

The second type is formed erect, developed leaves, which reach 20-25 cm in length and 5-6 cm in width. They are located alternately, their bases are quite close to each other, which is why many believe that this is one outlet.

The foliage looks like corn foliage - the same fleshy and dense... When breaking, you can see thin stretching hairs, because of which the people call the golden mustache "hair of the Venus" or "living hair".

Depending on the care and climate, a golden mustache can bloom. Small white flowers are formed at the tops of the shoots. They have a pleasant aroma that can be compared to lily of the valley or hyacinth.

Home plant care

It is not difficult to grow a golden mustache: it is quite unpretentious and requires only not to forget about it. Even beginner growers will easily master its cultivation.

• The plant feels great at + 25-27 degrees and low humidity - up to 60%. For the winter, it is necessary to lower the temperature without crossing the threshold of +12 degrees. Frequent airing is recommended; in summer, the pot can be moved to a balcony or street altogether.
• To give the leaves a purple hue, you need to place a golden mustache in direct sunlight. In this case, it will begin to grow in breadth, in the shade it usually grows upward. Over time, it will be necessary to tie the stem of the plant to the support so that it develops normally.
• Watering should be moderate but regular in the morning. The plant should not be in swampy soil - it is better to underfill. In winter, watering must be reduced, but if it is hot in the room, then, on the contrary, increase, and also regularly spray the leaves so that they do not dry out.
• Wide leaves can be sprayed with warm, settled water every few days to wash off the dirt and refresh. If the pot is not heavy, it can be taken to the shower and doused with water.
• A young plant is actively developing, and then it also quickly slows down growth. In the first few years, it needs to be transplanted annually into a larger pot, then you can limit yourself to checking the roots and feeding the earth.
• When choosing a pot, it is worth choosing a ceramic version with large holes in the bottom (drainage holes) so that the water can drain. At the bottom, you can additionally put drainage with a fraction of 5-10 mm or pour a mixture of pumped river sand and eggshells.

Golden mustache is unpretentious and can grow in the simplest soil. You can also use loam and add river sand and eggshells, or make a mixture of greenhouse humus and turf with a little sand. Organic varieties containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus can be used as fertilizers.

Reproduction of the golden mustache

For the first breeding method, rosettes are used, which are formed at the ends of thin purple shoots. Them neatly cut and dipped in water by ¾ and left for 1-2 weeks so that the roots can get stronger.

After that, the sprout can transplant into soilmixed with sand and eggshells. At first, a small pot will suffice, but over time, a larger tub will be needed. It is better to propagate a golden mustache in spring or autumn.

The other way requires little or no human intervention. Sometimes the shoots tilt so much that the rosettes can reach the soil and settle down on your own... After they settle down, the sprout can be dug up and transplanted, or left with the "parent".

In a wide pot, several golden mustaches look harmonious: together the bush looks more magnificent and more colorful. If you decide to divide the plant, moisten the transplanted sprout abundantly with water and cover with a plastic cap for 3-4 days to create a greenhouse effect. Then the "young" are transferred to the room and watered abundantly for a couple of days.

You can also use long shootsby transplanting them into soil. However, this method is less successful than the first and second: plants often do not take root.

You can plant a golden mustache not only in a pot at home. It takes root well in summer cottages, in greenhouses and under a film. It is recommended to fertilize open ground with ash and superphosphate.

Tips from experienced florists

Despite the fact that in general home care for a golden mustache is not difficult, there are several points that you should pay attention to:

• if brown spots appeared on the leaves, and the tips began to dry, you need to pay attention to the lack of water and excess sun, this may be a signal of a lack of minerals in the soil;
• if the lower leaves began to rot, perhaps the problem is excess water or too low temperature;
• specks of yellow color can signal improper feeding and watering, this will lead to crushing of the shoots, and the plant itself will become dull.

The golden mustache is practically not susceptible to harmful insects, it does not need to be protected. To get rid of thrips and red spider mites, you need to constantly ventilate the room and spray the leaves.

If prevention does not help, it is necessary spray the leaves with an insecticide, cover with a bag and leave for several days.

The second option for solving the same problem would be spraying the leaves with a mixture tobacco and laundry soap... This will help create an additional film on the leaves, through which pests will not pass.

The unpretentious golden mustache is perfect for both experienced gardeners and beginners. Observing the simple rules of watering and carefully choosing the optimal room for the plant, you can forget about the troubles associated with floriculture for a long time.

Fragrant callis is the name of the golden mustache in scientific circles. This plant has medicinal properties not less than scarlet and Kalanchoe. Unlike these plants, it is not approved by the Ministry of Health, and they continue to debate around it. But these discussions are overlooked by lovers of traditional medicine.

Healing properties

In traditional medicine recipes, the use of the golden mustache is quite wide. It is popularly called homemade ginseng. If you are concerned about such ailments as bronchial asthma, gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary diseases, gall bladder, spleen, then you can use this plant without worrying about the negative consequences. The people are of the opinion that with the help of this plant it is possible to alleviate various types of painful sensations. For example: relieve itching, healing burns, bruises, relieve lichen, ulcers. In order to use this plant for medicinal purposes, it is not necessary to buy it, you can also grow it at home.

Fragrant Callisia is a very large houseplant, reaches 1 m in height. Propagated by shoots, they resemble vines (whiskers). The mustache is made up of joints. They are purple-brown in color and have a broom of leaves at the end. A plant with nine or more joints on the shoots can be considered a medicinal plant.

Having planted a golden mustache at home, you need to remember that regardless of the fact that he loves warmth and light, he in no case does not accept direct sunlight.

Plant soil

To plant callisia, it is necessary to mix several types of soil:

• greenhouse humus;
• sod land;
• river sand, preferably coarse.

At the bottom of the planting pot, it is advisable to make drainage. For drainage, you can use eggshells, preferably from raw eggs. To improve the effect, crush the shell with sand.

We take care of the medicinal plant

In the warm season, more specifically in spring and summer, the flower needs to be watered every day. In this case, use a small amount of liquid. Waterlogging of the soil can negatively affect plants and their development. In autumn and winter, callisia should be watered 3 times a week. The most optimal temperature for the normal development of a plant is considered to be 26 ° C, humidity will be preferable - 55%. In winter, the period of calmness of most plants, the temperature regime in which the plant is contained is recommended to be reduced. After rooting, the flower is fed with liquid fertilizers. The leaves are sprayed with softened water every three days.

With good development and growth, callis should be attached to an additional support, because the plant can break under the weight of its weight and lateral processes.

It can be concluded that the golden mustache is not a very picky plant. It can easily grow and reproduce at home.

Reproduction

There are three breeding methods:

1. You need to take the cuttings and place them in water 3/4. After 10 days, the appearance of roots will be noticeable. After which the plant can be planted. To accelerate root growth, epin can be added to the container where the cutting stands - stimulating growth.
2. Cuttings without roots are planted and sprayed with water. After that, you need to cover with plastic wrap and put it in a room with low light for 4 days. When we remove the film, it will be necessary to water it without sparing water. After a day, rearrange in a place with normal lighting and water for another 4 days. During this time, the cutting will take root in the ground and begin to develop normally.
3. When a mature plant has enough lateral shoots, and at the same time it grows in a sufficiently large pot, then it is worth using the third method of propagation. We attach the main stem of the plant to the support, and sprinkle the shoots with earth. After 5-7 days, the shoot is cut off from the main stem, then carefully dug up and transplanted for independent development.

Fragrant callisia will not only decorate the room, but also come in handy for medicinal use.

Growing a golden mustache at home is rapidly gaining popularity. First of all, this is due to the unique chemical composition of the leaves and shoots of the flower. The biologically active substances flavonoids and phytosterols contained in them are actively used for the preparation of ointments, tinctures and decoctions. Dosage forms based on the extract from the golden mustache help get rid of skin rashes, high blood pressure, osteochondrosis and rheumatism.

A visitor from the tropics: humble and graceful

Judging by the abundance of pots with a golden mustache on the windowsills, the plant originally existed on the territory of our country. But this is not at all the case - the homeland of the flower is the tropical forests of South America. In its native spaces, a golden mustache can grow up to 3 meters high, its shoots twine around tree trunks and fill the voids of rocky crevices. At home, with proper care, the shoots hanging from the pots grow up to 1.5-2 m long.

Important: if a flower is planted for the sake of obtaining medicinal infusions, an allergic susceptibility test should be carried out in order to avoid disappointment after using the drug.

If not ampelous cultivation is practiced, then the stems need strong support. Here are the distinctive features of an exotic plant:

• leaves are alternate, narrow, up to 30 cm long;
• the outer side of the leaf is light green, the inner side is dark green with a burgundy tint;
• thin brownish shoots (whiskers) with internodes sprout from the leaf axils;
• rosettes of tiny leaves are located at the ends of internodes;
• small flowers consist of three petals of delicate lilac or pink color.

The genus Callisia from the Kommelinov family has more than 10 species; in our country, only one of them is cultivated. Golden mustache blooms extremely rarely, only among diligent breeders, for this process he needs optimal care conditions. But if it bloomed ... Even a small group of blossoming flowers can fill a room with a magical aroma with sweetish notes.

What you need to know about the reproduction of fragrant callisia?

After the golden whisker has finished blooming, tiny seeds can be collected and sown. But at home, bud formation is extremely rare, so this method is not common among breeders. The plant propagates easily in the following ways:

1. Layering with an adult specimen.
2. Cuttings rooted under the film.
3. Rosettes rooted in distilled water.

When growing a golden whisker in the greenhouse, the method of rooting long shoots is used. "Whiskers" of an adult plant are sprinkled with earth and watered abundantly. In two weeks, roots will appear on the shoot. Now you should carefully separate the rooted part of the flower and plant it in a permanent place.

Cuttings are obtained from a shoot, which is cut into pieces so that each piece contains 3-4 internodes. They are planted in a prepared soil mixture of peat and sand; with the help of a film, the containers for growing are covered and left at room temperature in a bright place. Rooting will occur in a couple of weeks.

Important: the cuttings must be watered as the soil dries, and the greenhouse must be ventilated daily and the accumulated condensate removed.

The golden mustache forms many rosettes at the ends of the shoots, which can be used for breeding at home. Healthy large rosettes with short stems root perfectly in a glass of water. The water needs to be changed periodically to avoid stem decay. After the flower has grown a powerful root system, the seedlings are transplanted for further cultivation.

Secrets of proper care

A visitor from the tropics is sensitive to lack of sunlight. If the pot with the golden whisker is in shade, you should be ready to pull out the shoots. The stems and leaves will fade, and flowering is out of the question. The plant feels great on the windowsills located on the east side. The south side is also suitable for a golden mustache, but when leaving, you will need to shade the flower.

The humid climate of the historical homeland made the plant demanding for high air humidity. In the morning and in the evening, you need to spray the golden mustache with soft, settled water using a spray bottle. The pot can be placed on a pallet with small pebbles and water can be poured - this way you can do without constantly wetting the stem and leaves.

Important: when carrying out weekly cleaning, do not forget about the leaves of the golden mustache. Wipe them with a damp cloth and remove accumulated dust.

Immediately after purchasing a seedling, you need to adjust the watering. Complete drying out of the earthen coma is unacceptable: a golden mustache may not recover from the stress it has endured. You can water the flower according to the following scheme:

• from mid-spring to early autumn - 3-4 times a week;
• with the onset of a cold snap - once a week.

The golden mustache likes it when the owner acidifies the water when watering. You can do this at home with a few grains of citric acid or a couple of drops of fresh lemon juice. Proper care consists in loosening the soil under the plant weekly. This must be done carefully, trying not to damage the delicate roots.

Soil and nutritional supplements

Loamy soil with slightly acidic PH values ​​is suitable for planting a golden mustache. The soil can be picked up in a specialized store. A versatile will work well.And it is best to prepare the potting mix yourself by mixing the following ingredients:

1. Horse peat.
2. Deciduous humus.
3. River sand.

The soil should be light, nutritious. To prevent moisture from stagnating in the area of ​​occurrence of the roots, 3-4 cm of any drainage material should be laid on the bottom of a wide pot. Ordinary expanded clay, eggshells or pieces of sphagnum are suitable. Before adding sand, it should be ignited or abundantly spilled with a pink solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection.

Important: do not forget that the soil collected by yourself under the trees can be inhabited by the larvae of harmful insects, which are deadly for the roots of the golden mustache. Hourly roasting in the oven will help solve this problem.

Over time, the soil in the flower pot is depleted and the plant slows down. The golden mustache needs regular nutritional supplements. He responds well to the introduction of organic fertilizers, but this is not always appropriate in an apartment. Therefore, the owners pamper their pets with complex feeding. The main thing is that they contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. In winter, it is not required to apply fertilizers more than once a month, and when the golden mustache starts to grow in spring, the amount of fertilizing needs to be increased to once a week.

Diseases and dangerous pests

The flower is able to signal flaws when caring for it at home. If brown spots have formed on the leaves, their tips have turned yellow and dried, then the owner is doing something wrong. This could be:

• excessively abundant watering, which caused root rot;
• insufficient watering;
• dry indoor air;
• poor fertilization.

Having revised the rules for caring for a golden mustache, it is necessary to find and correct the error.

Important: if the plant is grown as a medicinal plant, then high-quality care is necessary - only under such conditions, the maximum amount of biologically active substances accumulates in the leaves.

Pests are not indifferent to the medicinal plant, which willingly settle on its delicate parts. The flower began to lose turgor, the leaves wrinkle, fall off, and the shoots have lost their elasticity? It's time to look for unexpected guests on the golden mustache. As a rule, these are:

• Thrips. Form colonies on the inside of the leaves.
• Spider mite. Its red variety is especially rampant.

It's time to take drastic measures and go for the insecticide. Aktellik and Aktara, used for pest control, have proven themselves excellently. These drugs are systemic, the plant should be sprayed once a week for one month. A good preventive measure against pests is regular check-ups to find them.

Golden mustache is a modest and very graceful plant. It is difficult to appreciate its beauty at first sight. Moreover, he was not used to attracting attention. It grows in a corner, gratefully responds to simple care, while the owner spends a lot of time on capricious flowers from his collection.

But the benefits of the golden mustache are colossal. Perhaps, initially, the florist did not plan to use the healing properties of the plant. But how not to use them if your back hurts, and the necessary medicine is growing on the windowsill? One has only to reach out, pluck a leaf and throw it into hot water.

From the golden mustache, tinctures, ointments and other drugs are prepared. Given that caring for this culture is not at all difficult, it is highly recommended to have it in every home.

What does a golden mustache houseplant look like: photo and description

The indoor plant golden mustache belongs to the commeline family, the genus Callisium. There are 12 species in the genus that grow in the tropics of Central and South America and Mexico. In culture, only one species is best known, which is called the golden mustache.

What does a golden mustache look like in the wild? This creeping grass up to 2 m long "crawls" along the mountain slopes and clearings, rooting in the nodes.It has been cultivated in indoor floriculture for over 100 years. In the 21st century, they began to be planted in winter gardens in combination with other ornamental or medicinal plants such as palm, tea rose, lemongrass, aloe, Kalanchoe, etc.

According to the description, the indoor golden mustache is not much different from the wild one. This culture got its name from the presence of long shoots that extend from the axils of the leaves, like the "whiskers" of strawberries and also take root. The length of these "whiskers" is up to 1 meter, they are naked, reddish-brown with long internodes and small rosettes of leaves at the ends (it is usually believed that only shoots no shorter than 9 internodes are suitable for treatment). Large, up to 30 cm, almost linear alternate leaves, covering the stem, develop only after rooting. When a sheet breaks, thin threads of rubber stretch between its parts. The stem of this plant, although long, is not able to stand upright, so it needs support in the apartment.

With good care at home, a golden mustache sometimes blooms. Small flowers - less than 1 centimeter in diameter - are collected in paniculate inflorescences. Flowers emerge from the axils of the leaves and are collected in paired, hanging clusters on small peduncles.

As you can see in the photo, in a houseplant with a golden mustache, each flower has three white, pink or blue petals:

Despite the fact that the inflorescences themselves are inconspicuous, they attract attention with a strong pleasant smell, similar to the smell of hyacinth.

How to grow a golden mustache and how to care for it

Growing a golden mustache at home won't be a hassle. It is necessary to create all the optimal conditions under which the plant will be comfortable. A ceramic pot with a diameter of at least thirty centimeters or a wide ceramic vase is suitable for planting.

They are grown not only in pots, but also in a greenhouse, in the country, and even under a film. To do this, you need to use lateral horizontal shoots, which are rooted on the stem in the soil. The main stem must be tied to a support, and the shoots from it are bent to the soil and ground is poured on them. As soon as the shoots take root, they are cut off for transplantation to another location.

Heated greenhouses are equipped with “climate control” or simple air conditioning systems in combination with special fountains to humidify the air in the summer heat. In addition, it is recommended to spray the entire plant with clean water - thawed from the refrigerator or freezer, but not tap water, containing chlorine, phenol and other harmful chemicals.

Proper care of a golden mustache at home provides for daily watering in the spring and summer, but without waterlogging the soil, and less often in autumn and winter - two or three times a week. The soil in the pot must be moistened to the ground. To prevent the jet from eroding the soil, it is better to use a watering can with a fine strainer or a teapot. An hour after watering, the water must be drained from the pallet, and the pallet and the bottom of the pot must be wiped dry so that mold does not appear.

Growing and caring for a golden mustache at home

The need for watering is determined simply: if the knock on the edge of the pot is loud, then the earth is dry, if it is deaf, then the earth is wet, and the top layer of the soil, when it dries up, turns gray. Likes frequent bathing and spraying with a spray bottle. You can spray the plant in the morning and in the evening, provided that the apartment has dry warm air. Between waterings, the soil under the flower must be carefully loosened. The ideal temperature for flower growth is considered to be 25 - 27 ° C, with a recommended humidity of 50 - 60%. In winter, the temperature can be lowered slightly.

Here are a few more tips on how to grow a golden mustache at home to get a great herb for medicinal tinctures.

Fertilization or top dressing is necessary. You can feed the plant with liquid fertilizers after the development of its root system. In the warm season, fertilizers are applied once a week, in the cold season - once a month.For feeding this home plant, it is best to buy ready-made mixtures.

In the process of caring for a golden mustache at home, do not forget that the plant loves light, but cannot stand direct sunlight, especially hot evening ones. In this case, the plant becomes discolored and curled, whiskers cease to form. After being transferred to the shade, it quickly recovers. Winter temperature should be between 16-18 degrees, otherwise the plants stretch strongly, reducing the amount of active ingredients. In summer, you can take it outside in a shady place.

How to plant, transplant and propagate a golden mustache at home

How does a golden mustache multiply at home and how to transplant it correctly? The plant propagates by layering, pieces of "mustache" and ordinary cuttings. The most favorable time for breeding is March, April, but if necessary, you can reproduce all year round.

From the mother plant, you need to cut off the top of the shoot with 2 - 4 knots of joints, remove the lower leaves, shorten the upper ones by a third. Dry the cuttings for 2 - 3 hours, and then plant in pots with a richly moistened soil mixture. Moisten the cuttings and cover with a plastic rooting bag.

A rosette of leaves with a small piece of stem is cut off from a horizontal lateral shoot and placed in a vessel with water. A powerful root system develops within 10 to 15 days. Then the young plant is planted in a pot with an earthen mixture and watered abundantly.

Before planting a golden mustache at home, you need to drain the shell of eggs or sphagnum by adding river sand. An earthen mixture is prepared from 2 parts of sod land, 2 parts of greenhouse land, 3 parts of leafy soil and 3 parts of sand.

Young plants are transplanted annually, and adults once every two to three years. It is better to transplant in spring or autumn.

Before transplanting a golden mustache at home, the plant is preliminarily watered with a nutrient solution based on micronutrient fertilizers containing potassium, as well as nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements. In a new pot, the soil is prepared in the previously described way: small dolomite crushed stone, expanded clay, or pumice stone in combination with rock sand and wood ash are placed on the bottom.

For the soil for transplanting, plants take sod land, without weeds, from under the trees - linden, aspen, willow. In specialized stores "Gardener", "Dachnik", "Sadovy Mir", "Florist" currently sold ready-made soil mixture for the cultivation of indoor plants of any kind.

Diseases and pests - thrips and red spider mites. At the first signs of damage, the plant must be sprayed with a systemic insecticide and covered for 1 - 2 days with a plastic bag. The best preventive measures are daily spraying and maintaining the necessary air humidity.
