Growing rules
Varieties of pink eustoma are grown, in most cases, by a seed method. It is advisable to purchase planting material in a trusted store. Since the plant does not tolerate low temperatures, it is advisable to plant it in open ground with the arrival of heat. The plant is prepared for seedlings in winter (December, February) and stored in a greenhouse. Lisianthus prefers light, fertile soils. Many gardeners grow the popular plant in peat tablets.
A herbaceous rose can die not only due to severe frosts. A delicate plant can "kill" even the air temperature, which drops below +10 degrees. Seedlings are stored in a dry place.
Light is important for eustoma, so gardeners often use phytolamp. Moreover, the duration of artificial lighting should not be less than 6-8 hours a day. With proper care, the first shoots will appear after 10-12 days. A pick is carried out when the plants reach 2-2.5 cm. As soon as the seedlings grow up, they are planted in a "permanent residence", while the site should be sunny. Being in the open field, the pink eustoma needs regular watering, weeding and feeding.
Major coronavirus myths
Myth 1. Transmission of the virus through parcels. Many people in our country are worried that a new type of virus is transmitted through parcels and can get sick. Postal items from China are not dangerous, since, first of all, the coronavirus cannot live outside the human body for more than 2 days. (Of course, we could not even dream of such a speed of delivery on aliexpress :))
Myth 2. Coronavirus is a death sentence. Indeed, a new type of coronavirus is spreading at a high rate and is considered dangerous. But the statistics are such that in more than 80% of cases it is mild and it is very difficult to distinguish it from the usual cold. Deaths are about 4%, most of them are very elderly people and people who have weak immunity.
Myth 3. Medical masks will not protect you from covid-19. In fact, masks will be quite effective if someone is coughing or sneezing next to you. The World Health Organization recommends wearing masks in public and changing them every 2-3 hours.
Symptoms of COVID-19
The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, and general fatigue (symptoms very similar to SARS or flu).
Also, the symptoms of coronavirus include:
- Headache
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
- Difficulty breathing
- Chills
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
With a serious illness:
- Heat

There is still no vaccine or any specific antiviral agent against covid-19 disease. In this disease, people do not have immunity and therefore people of all ages are susceptible to it.
The epidemic began to spread very quickly and the World Health Organization declared an emergency with a risk assessment as very high.
The main measures for the prevention of COVID-19
As a preventive measure, follow the basic measures:
- Try to wash your hands much more often

On February 11, 2020, the disease was named the new coronavirus pneumonia - COVID-2019 (CO is a coronavirus, VI is a virus, and D is a disease).

Peculiarities
Eustoma or lisianthus belongs to the gentian family. Their features lie in the elongated shape of the rim. Also, the flower is called the Irish or Japanese herbal rose for its amazing similarity with the famous "beauty". The plant is a perennial, however, many gardeners grow it for no more than 1 year. The fact is that the eustoma has a delicate root system, which is extremely unstable to low temperatures, so in the northern regions the shrub will "live" for one season.
The distinctive features of Lisianthus include the following features:
- powerful, dense stem;
- elongated dark green leaves (matte structure);
- inflorescences resemble bells, several buds form on one peduncle;
- the height of the shrub varies from 50 to 70 cm, there are undersized varieties of eustoma.
The natural color of plants is blue. However, breeders managed to bring out flowers of amazing shades. There are red, cream, lilac and bicolor eustomas.
