Cacao tree
To grow cocoa, you need three components: high temperatures, high humidity and good shade. Above listed conditions are similar to a sauna, which is naturally found in Ecuador, Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Venezuela, Malaysia, Indonesia and Cameroon. These countries form the so-called "cocoa belt". The most successful chocolate manufacturers are based in the United States and Switzerland, and most of all cocoa beans grown in Côte d'Ivoire and Brazil.
Cocoa trees in the wild can reach 16 meters, but they all grow up to 5-6 meters. To achieve such a low altitude, cocoa planted in the shadow of "mother of cocoa» (madres del cocoa), ie, palms, or bananas. Thus, the sun does not destroy the young shoots of cocoa, and their fruit is convenient to collect.
Depending on the age of cocoa trees have a different number of fruit: three years after the pods appear first, then year by year their numbers are growing, and from 10 to 35 years maximum yield of cocoa. After 35 years the number of pods with every year decreases.
Flowers, namely, many small buds, a cocoa growing directly on the branches and trunk, so botanists call this plant kaulifloriynym. In place of flowers, the pods are developing, which after 4 months of give fruit. Cacao fruits twice a year. Ripe chocolate pods resemble a melon purple, yellow or brown color. Their size - roughly 30 by 15 cm and weighs about 500 grams. Inside each pod may be from 30 to 40 fruits. Harvest with a sharp knife, then dissected and each pod is dried in the sun. After that the seeds of cocoa wander and lose their inherent nature of rancidity.
It is possible to plant cocoa, even at home. To do this, prepare a friable soil, to ensure that draft and raise the temperature of at least 16 degrees. To give the fruit of the plant as early as possible, should ensure that it is scattered ultraviolet and high humidity. Still, do not wait for the fruit in the first few years. To the height of trees was small, he pinch the top leaves. So pet cocoa reaches 30 cm in height and will appear as an ornamental plant.
Cacao tree must be sprayed with a solution of black yeast, and rizoplana trichodermine in order to avoid possible contamination by fungal or viral diseases. Keep in mind that cocoa trees are prone to such diseases, therefore their prevention is not hurt.
However, the purchase of cocoa seedling is not easy, because this plant is very poor and rarely takes the road comes to us. If you, in whatever cost, want to start a similar indoor plant, look for the owners Teobroma cacao (or "food of the gods", as he called this plant Carolus Linnaeus, Swedish naturalist). Otlomlennaya twig cocoa probably settle down. You can also begin to cultivate cocoa beans. Such plants are more resistant to the room conditions.

Magnolia flower
Landing:
Optimal location of Magnolia - in areas with full sunlight or partial blackout. In the winter should ensure protection from the wind, as it has a strong effect of desiccants. Try not to plant a magnolia tree on the south side, as the spring flowers be exposed to sharp temperature fluctuations. In this case, perhaps the premature disclosure of the kidneys, which then hit frosty nights. In addition to the vegetative season, you may encounter the problem of burning leaves. Thus, having decided to plant magnolia on the south side, take care of protection from these factors.
Soil Preparation:
Since I magnolias shallow root system and thick roots, it is necessary to ensure good soil drainage. If necessary, you should adjust the current structure of the soil. We recommend using a mixture consisting of 1 / 3 of peat moss and 2 / 3 of the garden soil.
Growing magnolias:
Before planting flowers nurture the soil with water, and then let it drain. For the best possible use of rooting stimulator root growth. When transplanting, use the following recommendations: width of planting hole should correspond to the radius of the roots. The depth of the hole should be less than the height of the roots of 5 cm
Backfill the roots of flowers prepared soil. And Sprinkle a layer of mulch about 8-10cm, it will retain moisture, protect plants from temperature fluctuations and to suppress the growth of weeds.
Watering magnolia:
The first time (several seasons) of great importance after planting is receiving adequate water. Water the flowers only when necessary. Gradually reduce the amount of irrigation, thus increasing the amount of water used. Remember, the magnolia shallow root system. Check soil moisture a few inches deep into the root volume. Moist soil in addition to coolness, keeps its shape after compression, but not crumble. Magnolia is not a cactus, and requires adequate moisture.
Cutting:
Magnolias rarely need pruning. Completely remove any damaged or dead stems and branches up to their place of connection to the parent stem. To give shape or form can prune the lower branches. Best to carry out this procedure at the end of flowering plants.
Fertilization:
Magnolia flowers fairly undemanding and require no fertilizer at all or in very small quantities. In the first year can not be fertilized. Later, you can make a small amount of feed before and after flowering. You can use any fertilizer for flowering shrubs.

Mimosa
Mimosa genus includes more than 400 species represented annual and perennial herbaceous plants, shrubs and even small trees that occur around the globe. When you touch a flame or a mimosa folds its leaves. At night the leaves fold too. For optimum plant growth required average illuminance, moist and fertile soil, ambient temperature from 15.5 to 30 0C. Always treat with seedlings, as well as the roots of plants rather fragile. Mimoza very sensitive to flooding and are sometimes very difficult to grow. Pink spherical inflorescences appear in the summer months.
Shy Mimosa (Mimosa pudica), as one of the characteristic of the genus is very appreciated by enthusiasts of rare plants. By the way is still unknown how the plant puts the leaves when touched.
The plant is toxic, so be careful when growing it in a place accessible to pets or children.
Cultivation mimosa:
Mimosa shy enough tolerant to environmental conditions. However, for brighter blooms should be grown in well-lit place. Plant drought-resistant, but at long absence of water may exfoliate. New leaves will appear after the resumption of irrigation. However, when an excess of moisture effect may be the same - lack of leaves. Therefore it is important to ensure good drainage soil.
As the soil is recommended to use a mixture consisting of 1 part coarse sand, 3 parts peat, 1 part of the upper layer of garden soil and 1 part cypress mulch. In the soil can be added fertilizer of prolonged action.
Sensitive plants respond very well to clipping. So if you want your mimosa branches - just prune the tips.
We should not forget that this is tropical and subtropical plants, so the temperature should not fall below 10 C. It is noteworthy that at temperatures below 15C the stems take on a reddish hue. It does not bring harm to the plant, color disappears when the temperature rises to acceptable levels.
If you allow, then this kind of mimosa could grow to 60 cm in height. This is a creeping variety, do not grow above 15 cm
Sprouting seeds:
In the first place will receive seeds, pick "harvest" or buy them in the store. Harvest should be after the seed pods become brown and dry. Each seed is enclosed in its own shell. Therefore, before scarification better to get rid of it.
It's enough to soak the seeds overnight in warm water. The next day, you can sow them just below the surface of the prepared soil. At 9 cm pot fairly evenly be sown about 50 cm is very important to maintain soil moisture, so the first roots dry out very easily.
Once there are second and third rosette of leaves you can begin to plant out the plants on their own pots. At this stage in pots can be added fertilizer of prolonged action.

Most species of sundew are small and catch small insects, but some specimens may reach meters high and able to digest even a snail or a small frog.
In the wild sundew is found in swampy areas of the tropics to the tundra and in the subtropical areas of Australia. At present, some species of plants cultivated in the home, especially well tolerated in maintenance in the rooms Drosera alicia from South Africa, the American Drosera capillaris and Drosera capensis. In an interesting structure of the leaf, sundew have the ability to flower.

Orchid
Nearly 260 years ago, exotic orchids were discovered in the forbidding thickets of Central and South America, and later became known in Europe, which started the craze for these exotic flowers, a real "orchidaceous bum."
But to bring orchids into Europe was very difficult. For tuber or sprout of rare orchids paid a fortune. In the tropics were filled expedition. Many collectors have died from the poisonous snakes, hunger, dengue fever and arrows from native Indians.
Do not swim to England, none of the thousands of orchids, caught in the Philippine Islands. Burned the ship, carrying to Europe four thousand orchids from the banks of the Orinoco River.
But there were some good luck. A group of American collectors of orchids, to seek his fortune in the wilds of Southeast Asia about Calcutta, was lucky. Returning from a long and dangerous trip, they did a good business, getting a few orchids 100 000 dollars.
Predatory hunting for orchids led to what many of their species have disappeared. Cost of valuable and rare plants has jumped significantly. If in 1886 the price of rare orchids from Colombia was 150 pounds, then 25 years later this figure had increased tenfold.
Thus, even a "mania" broke out in the XIX century - the cultivation of exotic orchids, but because of the complexity and cost, she did not have significant scale. Not know how to grow orchids. Torn from their homes, or they died in transit, or dries up in greenhouses and greenhouses. Gardeners and growers could not manage to "tame" flowers of the tropics. Success was achieved only after a hundred years.

Carnation
Carnation (Dianthus) refers to a sort of one-, two-and perennial herbaceous plants of the family cloves. Flowers are beautiful nails with a pleasant smell often solitary or aggregated in inflorescences. There are about 300 species. The most common nail garden or Dutch. Flowers they mostly densely-bath, scented, variegated color (red, pink, yellow and white).
At the beginning of XX century in Russia published a book remarkable promoter of natural sciences, especially botany Nikolai Fedorovich Zolotnitsky - "Flowers in the legends and traditions." A very interesting reference in this book about the nail due to the crusade of St. Louis IX in 1270. Then his troops had been besieged city of Tunis. And then, among the Crusaders broke the terrible plague. People died like flies, and all the efforts of doctors to help them proved futile. Then, Saint Louis, firmly convinced of that nature against any of the poison and the antidote exists, and has, as they say, some knowledge of medicinal herbs, has decided that in a country where so often plagues this terrible illness, is likely to be found and cured its plant. And then his attention was attracted by a small but very bright and beautiful flower that grew in the dry and almost barren soil. Its beautiful color and smell, which reminded him spicy Indian clove, forced him to assume that this is exactly what a plant that could help his army to defeat the terrible disease.
He was ordered to gather as many of these flowers, make them drink liquor, and they fall ill. And - oh, surprise! - Infusion is in many cases, healing, and the plague begins, as if a little weak. Sadly, however, it should be noted that this miracle broth did not help his king, Louis IX, and soon became its latest victim.
Back home, adored their good king Crusaders bring with them to the memory of him and his carnations, which from that time in France is one of the favorite colors. However, its healthfulness, they do not attribute the properties of the plant itself, and the sanctity of Louis IX, because, as you know, shortly thereafter, in 1297 Pope classifies Louis IX of the saint. For the same reason, perhaps, the famous botanist Carl Linnaeus gave it many centuries later, the scientific name of Dianthus (diantus) is connected with the two words "Dios" and "antos", which means "divine flower."
