1. A flower loves being watered regularly.
2. It is necessary to clean the plant of old foliage in the spring, while shortening too long shoots.

4. Periodically, it is necessary to loosen the soil around the flower in order to avoid its drying out or overheating.

Soil selection

The only thing that can not tolerate the incense is high humidity and stagnation of moisture. Given the plant’s homeland, the flower loves stony, dry (but not overdried) soil or medium moisture. Growing in nature, the incense itself retains moisture in the soil, thanks to the thick leaves that cover the ground. In the garden, we remove the excess old leaves and do not let the plant control the level of humidity itself. Therefore, you need to monitor watering and not to dry the land. The incense grows well in the soil with proportions: one part of turf and two parts of sand and small stone. A mixture of humus (one third), sand (one third) and loamy soil (one third) is suitable as a substrate.

Breeding

Badan can be propagated both with the help of seeds and with the help of cuttings. If the seed method is selected, then they can be planted in two ways:

• Planting after harvest. After collecting the seeds, you need to prepare the soil. After digging and leveling the site, we place the seeds on the soil and sprinkle with a thin layer of earth and sand. With the advent of winter, this area needs to be covered with leaves. Badan will develop gradually, for two years you need to monitor the seedlings and regularly water them.
• Landing in May. Seeds germinate on average after a couple of weeks. Upon reaching ten centimeters in length, the canopy can be transplanted to a place selected for continuous cultivation. After four years, the plant will bloom in your garden in full force.

With the cuttings method, you need to choose the most healthy bushes. In the summer, after flowering has passed, you need to cut off part of the root with leaves and buds. It is best if there are about three kidneys. There should also be two or three leaves. Cuttings need to be planted in loose earth, placing the roots to a depth of 4 cm from the surface. With proper care, the incense will begin to bloom in the third year.
