Datura has accompanied mankind since the most ancient times. Drawing attention to the beauty and aroma of its flowers, it became in demand and gradually revealed to people all its valuable properties. Datura is quite common in private plots. It is appreciated by gardeners for its extraordinary decorativeness, aroma and simple care.

 Most often, datura is grown from seeds. Its seeds require a fairly high temperature for germination: +23, + 25 degrees. At a lower temperature, they germinate much more slowly.

 There is a good way to speed up the germination process. Moisten the seeds well, put them in a bag and put them in the light, in a warm place. When sprouts appear, sow one seed in a cup. So gradually all the planting material will be used.

 The soil needs light, nutritious. Half a centimeter will be enough to sprinkle the seeds on top. You can sow the seed in a separate cup or in a common container with subsequent picking.

 You can also sow seeds in the open ground. The sowing time is determined by the weather, when the soil warms up to + 18 degrees. Under the landing, you need to allocate a sunny quiet place. A drainage layer of crushed stone, pebbles or expanded clay is laid in the flowerbed. The soil needs loose, nutritious, with a predominance of compost. Outdoors, the soil erodes faster, so the seeds are sown a little deeper, about 1.0 cm. If a greenhouse is built over the flowerbed, then more moisture will remain, the soil will warm up more, and the seeds will germinate quickly and amicably.

 The plants are planted on the plot with seedlings and seeds. Conditions for planting datura in the open ground – the onset of consistently warm weather. The place should be allocated sunny, protected from the wind. The soil should be fertile, loose, with good drainage.

 The distance between the bushes is at least 1 meter, datura is a strong plant and captures large areas. This circumstance should be taken into account when planting together with other flowers. Datura looks beautiful with tall companions, and the short ones very soon find themselves under his powerful bush.

 Datura is not capricious, but demanding of the fertility of the soil, it is not for nothing that she chooses heaps with humus and compost during self-sowing. Loose nutritious soil is one of the main conditions for successful cultivation.

 The rapid growth and location of the plant in the sun require abundant watering, therefore, in regions with a temperate climate, watering should be every other day, and with a hot one – daily. Good development and flowering are provided by fertilizing every 7 to 10 days with mineral fertilizer alternating with organic matter. The removal of faded parts together with the seed capsule contributes to the ovary of new buds and preserves the strength of the plant.

 Datura care does not contain any specific measures and the timing coincides with the care of most plants in the garden, so it is profitable and not burdensome to plant datura. Having mastered the simple rules of care, you can enjoy his company for many years.
