Is it possible to grow rejuvenated at home

Rejuvenated - a representative of the Tolstyankovye family, which means that growing it in the house is a pleasure: the plant is completely unpretentious.

Rejuvenated ("tenacious", "stone rose"), like other members of the family, tolerates dry air of apartments and rare watering, grows in any soil. A huge selection of modern varieties of original colors allows you to create a miniature garden of large and small colorful plants on the windowsill.

Mini-kindergarten from different species rejuvenated

The rejuvenated, consisting only of a rosette of thick leaves without a stem, is a plant ideal for beginner growers. In nature, it grows on rocky slopes and surprises with its vitality. The size of the rosette can reach 15 cm. The flower can appear on it only once, after which the rosette dries up. The life of the plant continues due to the formation of numerous children. Rejuvenated is not afraid of diseases, pests, drought, and it is very easy to grow it at home.

Conditions of detention

Rejuvenated loves the sun and bright diffused light... It is necessary to shade the plant only in the midday heat. With an insufficient amount of light, the "stone rose" stretches, brightens and loses its decorative qualities. Therefore, it is better to place the flower pot on the south window. In the summer months, you can take the plant out to the balcony.

Landing

Loose, sandy the soil... You can use ready-made cactus soil. Experienced flower growers recommend adding fine charcoal or expanded clay to it. Pour on the bottom of the pot drainage layer (1/3 capacity). This is due to the plant's intolerance to excessive moisture and the presence of a superficial root system.

The plant does not need frequent transplants, so it is better to choose wide pot, in which the young will grow for a long time. Empty spaces in the container can be decorated with natural materials: small pebbles, snail shells, pine cones, chestnuts and acorns.

For growing at home, you can use the following types: young cobweb, limestone, offspring, Russian, roofing, hybrid.

Watering and feeding

Like any succulent, rejuvenated does not require frequent watering - moisture and nutrients accumulate in the succulent leaves.In the summer months, the plant is watered once every 2 weeks... In winter, watering is reduced up to twice a month... At any time of the year, the plant does not need to be sprayed. Excess moisture is clearly visible during daily inspection of the rosettes: the lower leaves become lethargic and dry out, and the color of the entire rosette turns pale.

It is not recommended to carry out frequent feeding, since the rosette is pulled out, the leaves lose their bright color and decorativeness decreases. Usually, half the fertilizer rate is applied only for plants that are 3 years old.

Reproduction

The easiest and most reliable way to reproduce the "stone rose" using daughter processes... They are carefully cut from the mother plant and planted in a separate small container. It is better to do this in spring, but if necessary, it can be propagated in summer and autumn.

Young plants

Seed reproduction is a more time consuming process. At the beginning of spring, the seeds are laid out on the surface of the moistened soil, lightly sprinkled with earth, and covered with foil. Seedlings appear at a temperature of 20 ° C after 15 days.

Growing features

The main requirement for growing a plant is to create conditions that do not allow excess moisture and getting it on the leaves of the outlet. Experienced flower growers offer various tips and tricks for watering the "stone rose". One of them is the step-by-step protection of all outlets with an ordinary plastic bottle with a cut bottom.

Removal of the peduncle helps to extend the decorative effect of the entire family of rosettes to prevent self-seeding. Plants grown from it bloom much later than daughter rosettes.

Currently, there are about 50 plant species ranging from light green to almost black. From multi-colored rosettes of various shapes, you can grow an unusual living carpet on your windowsill. Try and you have a "stone rose" in the house.

Rejuvenated is a very effective houseplant. Its leaves of various shapes and shades, collected in dense rosettes, resemble exotic flowers carved from stone. It is appreciated by amateur flower growers for its unpretentiousness, growth rate, and absence of problems with reproduction. Another undoubted advantage of the plant is the possibility of using it in landscape design. For successful breeding at home, you need to know the rules for planting and caring for a flower.

Rejuvenated: appearance and other salient features

The rejuvenated, known to botanists as Sempervivum, is one of the many genera belonging to the Crassulaceae family. In Europe, these plants are ubiquitous. The first species was described back in the middle of the 18th century by the famous Swedish taxonomist Karl Linnaeus. Since then, the youth has been steadily popular with landscape designers, decorating gardens and parks with their rosettes. Over time, they began to grow it at home.

The daughter rosettes of the young are located very tightly, forming one continuous carpet

The exact number of species included in the genus is impossible to calculate. There are about 50 "natural" plants and many hybrids, natural and bred by breeders. Rejuvenated has the ability to cross, including interspecific.

The species diversity of the young is amazing

The scientific name was young - a combination of two Latin words: semper ("forever", "forever") and vivus ("alive"). That is, the sempervivum literally translated means “ever-living”. The plant owes them a special ease of reproduction. Old sockets are constantly being replaced by new ones.

There are also many unofficial nicknames - "stone rose" (for the shape of the rosettes), "hare cabbage" (for thick fleshy leaves), "hen with chickens" (for the appearance of the mother and daughter rosettes), "tenacious" and several other names with a similar meaning (for unpretentiousness and the ability to reproduce itself).

Rejuvenated is widely used in landscape design

The young man also has another interesting nickname - "thunderbolt" or "thunder grass". In the Middle Ages, superstition was widespread in Europe, according to which, rejuvenating as a plant dedicated to the thunder god Thor, can protect a home from a lightning strike. To do this, you need to land it on the roof. Superstition was not limited to the common people. The corresponding decree was issued by Charlemagne. Over time, the rosettes grew so that they completely covered the roof. This is reflected in the name of one of the plant varieties - roofing rejuvenated.

In the Middle Ages, the roofs of many houses looked something like this

Like all Tolstyankovs, it was rejuvenated - an evergreen perennial succulent. In fleshy stems and leaves, it stores a supply of moisture and nutrients. Densely arranged alternately or in a circle, the leaves are collected in rosettes, the diameter of which varies from 1–2 cm to 20–25 cm. In shape, the leaf plates are ovoid or lanceolate, the tip can be rounded or sharp. The shoots are short, so the rosettes appear to be on the ground.

The rosette of leaves is small, but very dense.

Florists appreciate rejuvenation for an amazing variety of shapes and shades. Leaves can be glossy or dull, covered with a "waxy" coating, smooth or pubescent. The color scheme includes all shades of green, reddish, lilac, pink, silver, brown.

Different types of rejuvenated look spectacular in the composition

Young buds are collected in inflorescences in the form of a shield or panicle. The flowers look like double stars. They can be white, yellowish, pale pink, scarlet or burgundy. The flower stalks rise above the rosette to a height of 15–20 cm. Even at normal times, the plant emits a pleasant aroma, which intensifies during flowering. Then the fruit ripens - a leaflet with many seeds.

Blooms rejuvenated at home quite rarely

After flowering, the rosette that has thrown out the peduncle dies, having time to give life to many offspring before that. They are formed in the axils of the leaves on special "whiskers". At home, buds are rarely formed, so 5–10 years is a normal lifespan for a young one. As a rule, flowering occurs at the end of June or July and lasts about a month.

Rejuvenated in the Middle Ages was widely used in folk medicine and cosmetology. The girls rubbed their cheeks with its juice to get a healthy glow and get rid of freckles. Wine tinctures were considered an effective antidote (it was even recommended to carry a power outlet with you to avoid snake and scorpion bites). Even younger, it was used to sharpen vision and hearing, fight inflammation, treat diseases of the stomach and intestines, and destroy warts.

This plant is often confused with another member of the Fat family - Echeveria. In contrast to her, the young was frost-resistant (it can tolerate even small negative temperatures). Its "offspring" are formed on special "whiskers", and not at the base of the socket. The leaves are younger, thinner, softer and more graceful than those of Echeveria, the rosettes are smaller in diameter. With a shortage of light, Echeveria can stretch out, forming something that looks like a stem, this never happens to the young.

For someone who is not an expert in the field of botany, it is quite difficult to distinguish Echeveria from rejuvenation at first glance.

Home-grown species

The vast majority of rejuvenated species have adapted to growing at home. There are also many breeding hybrids. The most difficult thing is to choose the most attractive plant and limit yourself to purchasing only a few copies (the latter is almost impossible for a grower).

The most popular are the following varieties:

• Roofing (tectorum) was rejuvenated. The rosettes are shaped like balls flattened from above. Diameter - 18–20 cm. The leaves are pubescent, bronze-brown with a slight burgundy tint.It blooms in late summer, the process takes about 1.5 months. Petals of different shades of purple with salad-colored veins.
• Rejuvenated marble (marmoreum). The rosettes are almost flat, 7–10 cm in diameter. Young leaves are covered with a short “pile” that disappears as the plant grows older. Green leaves are slightly red or brown. Sometimes this shade changes with the seasons, darkening in the summer. A thin, pale green border runs along the edge.
• Queen Amalia (reginae-amaliae) was rejuvenated. Rosette 15 cm in diameter. Leaves are chocolate or brown. The flowers are pastel yellow, gathered in a panicle.
• Rejuvenated scion or shoot (soboliferum). Leaves are elongated, lanceolate. Before flowering, their tip turns red. The flowers are yellowish or lime, collected in scutes with a diameter of 6-8 cm.
• The Russian (ruthenicum) was rejuvenated. Small rosettes with a diameter of 4-6 cm. The leaves are elongated, wedge-shaped. The flowers are pastel yellow. Inflorescences in the form of a scutellum with a diameter of 7-10 cm. Peduncle pubescent.
• The cobweb (arachnoideum) was rejuvenated. The diameter of the rosette is no more than 2–3 cm. The leaves are elongated, lanceolate, the sharp tip is slightly curved inward. Color - pale green with a brick sheen. Along the edge of the leaf plate there is an edge of a long white "pile". The flowers are dull red. Peduncle height up to 30 cm.
• Rejuvenated spherical (globiferum). The diameter of the rosette is 4–5 cm. The leaves are shaped like a shovel. The main shade is bright green, the tip is reddish. The flowers are yellow or greenish, the inflorescence looks like an umbrella.
• Mountain (montanum) rejuvenated. Leaves are densely pubescent, collected in rosettes up to 3 cm in diameter. Flowers are small, pinkish.
• Young little or dwarf (pumelum). Prefers a mountainous climate. Distributed in the Caucasus and the Alps. Rosette 5–7 cm in diameter. Leaves are dark green with cilia along the edge. The flowers are lilac-burgundy.

Creation of optimal conditions for the plant

Rejuvenated is widespread in Europe, including Russia. Therefore, the plant does not have problems with adapting to the conditions of modern apartments. Particular attention should be paid to lighting. With a lack of light, the flower noticeably loses its decorative effect.

The appearance of the plant will depend on where you place the pot of rejuvenation.

How to transplant a flower correctly

Since the young is distinguished by its growth rate and the ease of formation of daughter rosettes, the plant is transplanted when the diameter of the rosette coincides with the diameter of the pot. Usually one procedure is enough every 2-3 years. The best time to transplant is early or mid-spring. If the capacity has not yet grown young, you can remove the top 1–2 cm of soil and add fresh substrate to the pot.

The root system of the plant is fibrous, superficial, rather poorly developed. Therefore, there is no need for a voluminous deep pot. On the contrary, in a container “for growth”, rejuvenation develops more slowly, spending energy on the “development” of space. A pot that looks like a soup plate or bowl is best. With each transplant, its diameter is increased by 2-3 cm. Of the materials, natural ceramics are preferable - it allows air to pass through better, preventing the soil from souring.

A suitable juvenile pot is similar to those in which bonsai are grown.

The quality of the soil was rejuvenated undemandingly. A store-bought substrate for cacti and succulents is quite suitable. The soil should be neutral and not too nutritious, preferably sand-based. In too "greasy" soil, the rosette will grow very large, but the color of the leaves will fade strongly, the plant will become unattractive.

• Leafy land and coarse river sand (1: 1). For every 3 liters of the finished mixture, a glass of sifted wood ash and fine chips from old red bricks are added.
• Sod land, powdered clay, sand, universal soil for decorative leafy plants (1: 1: 1: 2). If you are using soil from your own garden, check the acidity level. Sour soil will not work for young people.

A useful additive is crushed chalk, powdered birch charcoal or wood chips. The material will absorb excess moisture, preventing the development of rot.

The young have no special requirements for the quality of the soil; ordinary soil for cacti and succulents is quite suitable

Even a novice florist can handle a plant transplant:

1. Pour small expanded clay, pebbles, brick chips on the bottom of the new container, filling about a third of the pot's volume with drainage. Above - a layer of finished substrate 1–2 cm thick.
2. Remove the young from the old pot. Shake the soil off the roots.
3. Examine the roots, cut off any that are rotten and dry. Sprinkle the slices with crushed activated carbon, chalk, cinnamon. Let dry for 2-3 hours.
4. Moisten the medium in the new pot moderately. Place the young in it, straighten the roots so that they do not bend up. Do not deepen the socket base.
5. Add soil, shake the pot a few times to distribute it evenly.
6. Water the plant a little. Remove it for 5-7 days in partial shade. The next watering is only after this time.

Small rosettes rejuvenated look spectacular in florariums. You can create a composition of several types of succulent plants. Such a capacity takes up very little space, but it looks very impressive.

1. Thoroughly wash the selected vessel, scald with boiling water, wipe the inside with alcohol.
2. Pour a layer of sand, brick chips or crushed pumice stone mixed with activated carbon powder 2-3 cm thick on the bottom. On top - about the same amount of freshly prepared disinfected substrate.
3. Moisten the soil moderately. Make shallow plant holes. Try to avoid even space between them so that the composition does not seem artificial.
4. Drop out the sockets. Compact the soil around them. Water the plants lightly using a syringe.
5. Use a soft brush to shake off soil particles from the inside of the glass. Decorate the composition. You can use pebbles, colored stones, shells, pieces of glass, bark, sphagnum moss, ceramic figurines, and so on. You are limited only by your own imagination and ideas about beauty.

Further care of the composition consists in regular, moderate watering. They alternate with ordinary water and a 0.5% solution of any fungicide (for the prevention of mold and rot). As the rosettes grow, they are removed from the florarium and replaced with new ones.

In the florarium, you can create compositions using different types of succulents with similar growing conditions.

The nuances of plant care

The care was undemanding.Basically, it boils down to watering and regularly removing dried leaves and dead rosettes.

Watering

Water the young every 5–7 days. In winter, once every 1.5–2 weeks is enough. The plant will not die from drought, but from regular waterlogging - for sure. Do not allow water to enter the outlet. To prevent this from happening, practice bottom watering.

Bottom watering for rejuvenation is recommended - this method avoids water droplets getting into the sockets

If you notice “wrinkles” on the leaves or growing growing off the edges of the pot, the soil should be moistened immediately, even outside of the schedule. Moreover, the denser the edge on the leaves, the less moisture it needs to rejuvenate.

For irrigation, use only soft water at room temperature. The best option is distilled, bottled or filtered.

Fertilization

Rejuvenated successfully exists at home without any fertilizers. But if you still want to feed the plant, use natural organic matter (infusions of cow dung, bird droppings, diluted with water, respectively 1:10 or 1:15). In the spring, you can replace the top 1–2 cm of potted soil with humus or rotted compost.

Liquid fertilizer for cactus or succulent plants is suitable for adult plants (4 years and older). The prepared solution is watered every 6-7 weeks, reducing the concentration of the drug by half in comparison with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Universal feed for indoor plants will do more harm than good to the young

Dormant period

The rest period for the rejuvenated is a rather conventional concept. Starting from the middle of autumn, watering is gradually reduced, feeding (if any) is stopped altogether. The optimum winter temperature is 10–12 ° C. A glazed loggia is ideal.

In principle, rejuvenated normally overwinter in the apartment, if you put it closer to the window glass. But at this temperature, the likelihood of flowering, and so very small, is practically reduced to zero.

Florist errors and reactions to them

Unintentional mistakes in the care of the young, most likely, will not kill, but they do not have the best effect on the appearance and decorativeness of the plant. Therefore, you need to learn to understand what exactly does not suit the flower and how to fix the situation.

Table: external manifestations of errors in the care of a young man

Common diseases and pests

The rather thin leaves of the young are protected by a dense skin, so the rosettes suffer from pests relatively rarely. More often they attack the roots. But the most dangerous for the plant is not insects, but rot, which develops rapidly if the soil in the pot turns into a swamp. When choosing a method for pest control, you need to remember that pubescent varieties of rejuvenated cannot be sprayed. Instead, the soil is watered with insecticide solutions.

The risk of infection can be minimized if you do not forget about prevention:

• placing all newly acquired indoor plants in quarantine for at least 10-15 days;
• regular inspection of the collection and immediate isolation of all specimens showing suspicious symptoms;
• daily airing of the room;
• timely removal of dried leaves and rosettes from the pot;
• implementation of recommendations for plant care, especially those related to watering;
• use only disinfected soil, clean pots and tools.

How rejuvenated breeds: planting at home

Problems with plant propagation at home are guaranteed not to arise. In the absence of daughter outlets, you can always use seeds purchased from specialized stores.

Rooting "offspring"

The easiest way to get a new plant. Child outlets are separated from the "parent" in late spring or summer. If the plant is in bloom, wait for the buds to wither. The size of the "offspring" does not matter.

Daughter sockets can be separated from the young in the process of the next transplant

1. Bend the "whiskers" on which the daughter sockets are located to the ground and secure with a hairpin or wire bent in a U-shape. To speed up the process of root formation, the substrate in this place must be loosened.
2. After 2-3 weeks, separate the "baby" from the plant, treat the cut with crushed chalk, activated carbon, and colloidal sulfur.
3. Further actions are the same as during the transplantation.

To stimulate the appearance of "babies", provide a day of light for at least 10 hours. You can use fluorescent or special phytolamps for supplementary lighting.

How to grow from seeds

Seeds rejuvenated at home are quite problematic to get. First, it is necessary to have two plants flowering at the same time, having different "parents". Secondly, you need to accurately guess the moment when to pick flowers. If they have not yet begun to wither, the seeds have not ripened; if the peduncle is allowed to dry out, they will die along with the entire rosette. Therefore, it is much easier to acquire them. The best time to disembark is February or early March.

It will probably not be difficult to acquire young seeds.

1. Fill shallow containers with a mixture of sand and peat chips (1: 1) or perlite, vermiculite. Smooth the substrate and moisten it with a weak solution of any biostimulant - Kornevin, Heteroauxin, Zircon (2-3 ml per 1 liter of water).
2. Spread the seeds more or less evenly over the soil surface. Do not sprinkle on top.
3. Cover containers with foil or glass. Provide bright, diffused light, a constant temperature of about 23-25 ​​° C, and keep the soil slightly moist at all times. Open the "greenhouse" for 10-15 minutes daily, airing the plantings.
4. Seedlings will appear in 7-10 days. Wait two more weeks and remove the "greenhouse" completely. Water the seedlings very sparingly.
5. After two months, plant the young plants in individual containers. Further care is normal.

Seeds rejuvenated sprout pretty quickly

Rejuvenated - an undemanding, but spectacular plant, with the cultivation of which even a novice florist can cope. Having purchased one "stone rose", it is difficult to refuse further purchases. The genus amazes with a variety of shapes and shades, allowing you to collect a very unusual and pretty collection on the windowsill.

27 years old, higher education in law, broad outlook and interest in a variety of topics.

Rejuvenated (translated from Latin "forever alive") is a perennial succulent of the Tolstyankovye family. Stone rose, as it is also called rejuvenated, is an unpretentious plant that can survive in any conditions.

Usually, succulents are grown outdoors. But at home, on the windowsills, it feels good, it easily takes root and coexists with other plants. So how to grow a stone rose from seeds at home?

…

Breeding types

Easier and faster rejuvenated reproduces vegetatively. From the mother plant, daughter children-rosettes are split off. It is inappropriate to propagate by seeds. But if there is no way to get a rosette young, then you can try to grow it from seeds.

The seed method of growing a crop implies a long development cycle and a complete loss of the varietal qualities of the flower. This method of propagation is justified only in order to obtain new hybrids with interesting leaf shapes or colors.

Getting seeds on your own is problematic: you need to have simultaneously flowering heterosexual plants and guess the moment of breaking a flower, which only experienced gardeners or breeders can do.

Selection of material for sowing

The seeds were young, very small, dusty. These small peas can only be viewed under a microscope. It is difficult, for example, to distinguish young seeds from cactus seeds with the naked eye.

Recommendation. It is better to buy from trusted suppliers in specialized stores, where seed quality control is carried out and there is a guarantee of germination.

Soil preparation

To plant seeds, it is necessary to fill shallow containers (3-4 cm deep) with a mixture of sand and peat chips (1: 1). Another option for soil: coarse washed river sand and garden soil in a ratio of about 2: 1.

If there is no possibility and desire to prepare soil for sowing seeds, you can choose ready-made soil for cacti and succulents in the store, but add a little charcoal to it, which will protect the root system from excess moisture and decay. In terms of chemical properties, the soil should not be acidic.

After filling the containers, the soil must be leveled and moistened with a weak solution of any biostimulant - Kornevin, Heteroauxin, Zircon (2-3 ml per 1 liter of water).

Sowing

Sowing seeds can be done in late winter or early spring (February-March). You need to take a bag of seeds and distribute them evenly over the surface of the container. The seeds are buried into the ground by no more than 1 mm. It is not necessary to sprinkle it on top with earth. Can be lightly sprinkled with sand. Cover the container with plastic wrap or glass.

For good seed germination you need:

1. Provide bright diffused light and a constant air temperature of about 23-25 ​​° C.
2. The soil must be kept moist at all times. Watering is carried out 2 times a week.
3. It is also necessary to provide ventilation of containers for 10-15 minutes a day, that is, remove the film or remove the glass.

Growth and development

The first shoots will appear in 5 days, and after 7-10 days you can see the friendly shoots of a stone rose.

Reference. After two weeks, the glass (film) can be removed completely. Watering the plant should be moderate.

Small rosette seedlings can be planted in separate bowls two months after planting the seeds. During this period, the size of the outlet reaches 1 cm or more, you can pick them up and work with them normally.

When transplanting, the distance between the bushes should be from 3 to 15 centimeters, depending on the species and variety, rejuvenated. The pot into which the plant will be transplanted must be drained with walnut shells or expanded clay for one third of the capacity. After transplanting, care for the plant is normal, as for an adult plant.

Care

• Lighting. Younger prefers windowsills on the sunny side. But if there are no windows on the sunny side, then the plant will still feel good.

  But under different illumination, the rejuvenated can have a different color. In the bright sun, the rosettes are small and brightly saturated in color, and in the shade, the young have rosettes of large sizes, often the leaves are loosely located, but the saturation of the color of the leaves is lost. On very dark windowsills, the young will stretch in length, thereby losing its decorative appearance.

• Temperature conditions. If, when sowing seeds, it is necessary to observe the temperature regime of 23–25 ° C, then after the emergence of seedlings, the young is absolutely unpretentious to temperature fluctuations. The young one is able to withstand low temperatures and hot days without difficulties.
• Watering. The stone rose, like a typical succulent, is adapted to accumulate moisture and remain without water for a long period of time. With home care, the plant can be provided with more comfortable conditions: you can limit yourself to a little watering once a month in winter and twice a month in summer.

  Attention! When watering, the following rule must be observed: avoid the penetration of liquid into the center between the leaves, as the decay process may begin. The plant may die.

• Top dressing with fertilizers. If you plant the young in the soil, as mentioned above, then you do not need to additionally feed the plant.The stone rose practically does not need additional feeding. Moreover, they only bring harm to the plant, forcing it to stretch up and lose its decorative appeal.

  The root system was young and small and superficial. It takes nutrients from the soil slowly. The next feeding can be only for 4 years of plant growth and development.

When to expect flowering?

1. A week after sowing, the first seedlings hatch in discordant rows.
2. After a month, all viable seeds germinate and slender green rows of the plant are visible in the container.
3. After two months, the seedlings are shaped outlets that must be transplanted into separate containers.
4. After three months, each rosette is rooted in its own container.
5. Two years later, rarely a year later, the young bloom.

Each rosette rejuvenates blooms only once in a lifetime, and then dies off. Blooming takes life from the outlet. In place of the old dying outlet, many new baby outlets appear, which are seated in other containers. The flowering period is in the month of July. By the time the plant blooms for about 1 month.

Recommendations

If the young does not bloom, but you really want to, then you need to arrange unfavorable conditions for the plant: drive into stress. A good stressful situation for rejuvenated will be the thickening of the plantings. Even very small rosettes can bloom in conditions of thickening of plants.

It so happens that a week or two passes, but there are still no shoots. You can continue to wait for shoots in the first container, since in rare cases shoots appear in a month. At this time, buy seeds from another supplier and again, observing all the technology of the growing process, achieve a good result.

You need to try, experiment, then everything will definitely work out. Sometimes housewives pour out the soil with seedlings that have not hatched to other flowers, and after a while they find young seedlings in other pots.

Conclusion

Rejuvenated - an unpretentious plant. Can be grown as a family in large flat containers or can be grown in small individual containers. The huge number of varieties of this plant has made it a popular green pet for home and garden flower beds. You can arrange a beautiful composition right at home on the windowsill.

Nature has created a huge number of amazing plants. People use some of them to decorate their space. For example, the flower rejuvenated is used in horticulture and indoor floriculture, although it is still widespread in the wild.

Thor flower

In Scandinavian mythology there is a formidable god Thor - the lord of thunder and storm. He protected people from evil, which in mythology is represented by giants. Thor was invulnerable, in this he was helped by his strength and dexterity, as well as equipment - Thor's hammer, Thor's belt and a bronze chariot. God Thor is one of the greatest heroes of the Scandinavian epic, people still preserve his memory in works of art, films, decor items. And also a very interesting plant is dedicated to the Torah in Scandinavia - a stone rose (or rejuvenated). Photos of flowers demonstrate their unusualness.

In the natural environment

A flower called rejuvenated is common on scanty stony soils practically throughout Europe, Asia, and in the East. It easily tolerates a lack of moisture, excess or lack of sunlight, frost even down to -30. It is thanks to its vitality that the plant has received a characteristic name - "eternally living", which in Latin will be Sempervivum.

The plant was revered by many nationalities as a symbol of stamina and longevity. Also, its correct, geometrically aligned shape of the sockets looks unusual. Thanks to her, the flower was named "stone rose".By the way, the structure of the rosette is young absolutely exactly corresponds to the rule of the golden section, and it can be presented in mathematics lessons as a classic example of natural geometry.

Long beauty

An amazingly geometric plant - a flower rejuvenated. The stone rose, as it is also called, belongs to the jumbo family, included in the succulent group. These plants, and there are a lot of them in open nature, survive in conditions in which most of the other green inhabitants of our planet would simply die. It is not for nothing that flower growers call the plants of the fatty family "Spartans".

The flower was rejuvenated perfectly justifies its unusual names - it is unpretentious, patient and, among other things, is very beautifully arranged. The rosette of the flower has the correct shape - the spiral arrangement of the leaves clearly shows that nature knows how to comply with the laws of geometry. The rosette blooms only once and, giving the world a delicate star-bud, dies off. But in its place, another outlet will grow, which will also bloom after a certain time.

Selection from nature and from florists

The stone rose is a beautiful plant. Over the many millennia of its existence on earth, it has managed to acquire many species, and more often it is nature that becomes a breeder, allowing plants to acquire new varieties. A man also put his hand to the creation of a stone rose of an unusual look, trying to get the plant he would like.

The varieties of rejuvenated most often differ in leaves - they have a different shape, color, are simply smooth or pubescent, and on some types of stone roses there is an interesting feature - a cobweb that wraps a rosette like a veil. In principle, the unpretentiousness and good survival rate allowed a person to get a universal green pet, because a stone rose in a room pot looks as natural as it did in a flower bed with other flowers.

In the garden

You can decorate the garden in different ways: someone prefers lush-flowering bushes of roses and peonies, someone will prefer a classic alpine slide. There are plants that are universal for any garden, including rejuvenation. Photos of flowers in a flower bed allow you to see that with the help of this plant you can create successful compositions, given some of the features of the location.

Since the root of the young is short, it easily lives in a tiny space - in the gap between the tiles, between the stones. In order for this flower to grow among flowers, you need to determine a place for it that would be free from lush growing neighbors. The flower was rejuvenated, although unpretentious, but it needs an open space, otherwise the lush bushes will simply drown it out. From the varieties of this plant, it is quite easy to grow beautiful garden ornaments.

Houses

One of the interesting indoor plants is rejuvenating. The stone flower will be a suitable green pet for those who love and know how to care for plants, and for those who often forget to water them, not to mention careful care. On the windowsill in one container, you can grow whole groups of such green pets, combining them with other succulents. They are undemanding to care for, to sunlight or humidity, and therefore they will decorate any corner of the house.

How to breed?

One of the most unpretentious garden and indoor plants - rejuvenated. The photos of flowers in the garden, suggested below, show how beautiful these plants are in combination with each other due to their varied color and leaf shape. But before creating an ornament from stone roses or a composition in a pot, you should acquire a certain number of such plants.

How to breed young? Florists use several methods to get new plants from existing ones - cuttings, seeds, babies, roots.Rejuvenated, the photo of flowers of which is striking in its simplicity and beauty, is easiest to breed with children. Yes, it can be propagated by seeds or leaves. But these techniques are very, very troublesome and most often end before they can start - both seeds and leaves die. But reproduction by children gives the best results.

Many will say that many fatty plants also breed in nature by children - small plants that form next to the mother. Yes, this is absolutely true, but under artificial conditions this process can be accelerated somewhat and made, so to speak, more voluminous. In order for the mother plant to produce as many babies as possible, it needs a lot of sun. Yes, one has only to put the pot with the plant on a sunny windowsill, and after a while it will begin to form new baby plants in the axils of the leaves. Having gained the necessary strength, they simply crumble. Then they need to be collected and planted.

Since the children have practically no roots, they are simply laid out on good, loose soil and periodically slightly moistened the soil. The plants take root quickly enough, and as soon as they get stronger and grow, they can be planted in place - on the street, in containers. There are varieties of rejuvenated, which throw away "mustaches" with children, like strawberries. In such flowers, children take root without separating from the mother plant. They are simply pressed slightly to the ground, and only when they take root and grow, they can be separated from the mother plant, leaving a "mustache" with the baby.

If you want to experiment, you can try to propagate the young by rooting the leaves. But this process is quite complicated, in the vast majority of cases the leaf rotts, not having time to give roots.

How to care?

Taking care of some types of plants is absolutely uncomplicated. This also applies to the flower rejuvenated. Planting and care, the photos below will become tips, are to plant the plant in a suitable place and periodically water and feed it a little. Since the plant is unpretentious, in natural conditions it grows on rocky soil, then in an artificial environment it needs a little: a little space, almost any soil, a little moisture and not too much sun, otherwise it will get burns.

A sunny place will allow the plant to form many children, which over time will grow with a carpet on the meta planting. By the way, landscape design with the help of young people welcomes such carpet compositions - they protect themselves from weeds, retain moisture in the soil, consuming it as needed. The area where young plants are planted must be carefully weeded, otherwise the grown weeds will ruin the planting of the stone rose, and late weeding will damage the small roots of the plant.

Home care for a young is no different from caring for it in the open field - rare watering and feeding. True, in an artificial environment, the plant grows less and gives few children. But this process can be accelerated by placing the stone rose pot on the south side.

Water - in moderation!

Waterlogged soil for rejuvenation is dangerous both at home and in the garden. If the soil is too wet for a long time, the plant may die.

In winter, if the plant is homemade, you need to send it on vacation for two to three months - put the pot in a shaded place, where it is cooler, and do not water it. Do not water at all. But then a rested stone rose will delight with its beauty and vitality.

Is the youth sick?

The flower rejuvenated is a versatile green pet for the garden and for the home. These plants are unpretentious to care for, they do not need a lot of space. Both pests and diseases try to bypass the stone rose. This flower has only a few enemies:

• May beetle larvae capable of damaging the thin roots of the plant;
• birds that, wishing to feast on juicy leaves, can "uproot" the rosettes of the young;
• rot that forms on the lower leaves and roots due to waterlogging of the soil.

Fixing these problems is easy:

• in the spring, process the soil from the larvae and do not add humus or manure for feeding, because in addition to the fact that there may be pests in such a substrate, the plant will simply rot with such increased feeding;
• birds can be scared off with a decorative spinner;
• reduce watering as much as possible if rot appears, while removing either rotten leaves or completely rosettes.

For the rest, the stone rose is an absolutely comfortable plant that does not require special attention to itself in care, in cultivation, but it gives pleasure with its geometrically correct beauty and multi-colored leaves.

Does rejuvenation heal body and soul?

A beautiful decoration of a flower garden, even on the windowsill, even in the garden - the flower was rejuvenated. Planting and caring for this plant is available in its simplicity, even to those who do not like to tinker with green pets or are just embarking on the path of competent floriculture.

With the juice of the plant, purulent wounds were healed, and the girls removed their freckles.

Also, rejuvenated is used in folk medicine as a disinfectant, anesthetic, antihelminthic, anti-ash agent.
