Once Mary planted two strange striped leaves in the ground. She had never planted leaves directly in the ground before. Neighbor Rose told her that these leaves would give roots and a plant known as Pike Tail would grow from them. This name made Maria laugh very much. The inhabitants of Mary's home garden did not like the two gnarled leaves sticking out of the ground.
What a rude creature - not an ounce of grace. Some freak! - the queen of flowers, Tea Rose, thought indignantly.
And Geranium, spreading a dizzying aroma, said to its neighbor Chrysanthemum:
Poor fellow, no zest: no good looks, no fragrant smell.
How unattractive he is, - even the kind Azalea decided, sympathetically examining the rough leathery leaves of the Pike Tail.
And all the other inhabitants of the garden thought about him about the same. Unfortunately, none of them knew that Pike Tail, despite its rough appearance, was a sensitive creature. By the leaves of the plants, he could read their thoughts. These unfriendly thoughts made him sad and timid. From self-doubt, he cringed all over, afraid to even look at his neighbors in the garden.
But Mary had a different opinion about this unusual plant. She carefully tended his leathery leaves, watering them whenever she saw that they were thirsty. She knew how to guess almost without error! She washed the leaves of Pike Tail with warm water, talking affectionately with him: “How fast you grow! Your leaves become strong and strong! Soon you will grow and become handsome. ” The inhabitants of the kindergarten have always listened to the opinion of Mary. But this time they did not share it at all. After all, they did not find anything in their new neighbor.
And Pike Tail, listening to Maria, thought with bitterness: “I'm not a handsome man, she just pity me. I saw my reflection in the window! ”
Every day he became more and more withdrawn into himself, like a snail hiding in its house.
Soon, Pike Tail developed into a slender plant with many straight and stiff leaves sticking out of the ground. In terms of growth rate, he overtook many of his neighbors, but as before, he was always silent. Light transverse stripes on its leaves very much resembled fish scales, which embarrassed the white cat, who was always not averse to feasting on fish. He often approached Pike Tail, stood on his hind legs in fluffy trousers, smelled its leaves and even licked them, purring under his breath: “It's strange, it doesn't smell like fish at all, but looks so similar. Yes, you are not a fish, but a pity, a pity. " And the cat turned away from Pike Tail in disappointment to the general giggling of the kindergarten inhabitants. Piketail remained silent. He was silent even when the plants asked for his opinion. At first they took offense at him, but then they got used to it and left him alone. Only the cocky Coleus pestered him sometimes:
Please tell me what a proud man! Why are you all silent? Did you swallow your tongue ?!
Indeed, why was Pike Tail so stubbornly silent? After all, he has grown up a long time ago and became beautiful and attractive. The fact is that he was unusually modest. His uncertainty and timidity grew day by day. He never smiled, he was sad and sad. And to his neighbors, he seemed a gloomy and unfriendly plant. How wrong they were!
The playful Tradescantia, sometimes hanging from her hanging basket, tickled him with her cool leaves, trying to cheer up the stern silent:
Come on, laugh! Don't you tickle? Aren't you even tickled? the minx teased him.
But Pike Tail remained unapproachable. Of course, he was tickled, even very, but he courageously endured these playful attacks. Pike Tail was waiting for a miracle - he was waiting for when he could finally decorate the garden with his flower and become worthy of all other plants.
And then one early spring morning the whole room was filled with an unfamiliar wonderful aroma.
Oh! What a subtle smell! Who smells so sweet? - the fragrant Tea Rose was the first to notice. The plants began to look at each other and gasped in surprise, noticing a fragile long-legged flower peeking out shyly from behind the tall leathery leaves of Pike Tail. Its leaves, like silent guards, guarded the newly born miracle. The flower was lucky: behind such a solid wall, one could not be afraid of the hot sun and drafts.
I bloomed. I give my flower to our garden. Now I look like you!
Why have you been silent before and did not tell anything about yourself? - asked the startled Coleus.
You would not have believed me, because you were so hostile to me! I wanted to prove in practice that I am worthy of you. I am so happy today that I want to reveal my real name to you. My name is Sanseviera!
And an unusual silence reigned in the kindergarten.
Sansevieria) Is a genus of evergreen stemless herbaceous perennials of the Agavov family. It grows in African and Asian savannas, deserts and semi-deserts.
Household sansevieria is popularly nicknamed the pike or cuckoo's tail, for the unusual color of the leaves. The British call it the snake plant or leopard lily. The Chinese - the tail of the tiger orchid. Turks with the sword of Pasha. And the Germans are African hemp. The sharp tip of the leaf has served as another nickname - mother-in-law's tongue.
Indian researcher Kamal Mittl, engaged in the development of an ideal living space, attributed the pike tail to a small number of plants, the benefits of which are maximum for humans. Together with betel nut and epipremnum, sansevieria almost completely neutralizes the effect of dangerous toxic substances that are saturated in the air of modern rooms.
general information
The flower got its name from the surname of Prince Sansevierio. He was fond of botany and invested in the development of natural sciences. Leaves, as a rule, are directed clearly upward. May extend to the sides or lie completely horizontal. Natural coloration - a combination of green and brown, striped and mottled patterns. In artificially bred species, yellow and silver shades are found in the color of the leaves. Growth rate - 2-3 leaves per year from one outlet.
In natural forms, the leaves of most species are covered with a waxy film that protects the surface from excessive moisture evaporation. The pike's tail has a pointed leaf. In some species, it can reach a height of up to 1.5 meters. The graceful Hanni sansevieria grows no higher than 5-6 cm.
The rhizome of sansevieria is creeping, underground, in the form of a rhizome. So powerful that it can shatter the walls of a pot without being able to fit in it. The flowers are white-green, collected in a cylindrical inflorescence. The peduncle is straight, long. Narrow petals open in the evening. Delivers a pleasant vanilla or clove aroma. These notes can be recognized in the composition of expensive perfume. Fruits in indoor floriculture are almost never found. In nature, it is a berry with one to three seeds.
Soil requirements
Sansevieria loves light soils. In flower shops, you can purchase a special substrate with perlite for her. But if this is not possible, then here are some optimal compositions:
- one part of sod and leafy land and 0.5 parts of sand;
- ready-made substrate for succulents, with the addition of small pebbles, peat, sand and a little clay;
- leafy, clayey-soddy earth, sand, humus in a ratio of 0.5: 1.0: 0.25; 0.25.
At the bottom of the pot, it is advisable to make drainage from stones, broken brick or clay shards.
Growing conditions
A pike tail is a flower that cannot be ruined by improper care. This is a champion in endurance and vitality. But in order to get a luxurious plant, it is necessary to provide it optimal conditions growth.
Lighting
For a variegated color of leaves, a bright diffused light is required. However, the unpretentiousness of sansevieria allows it to be kept in partial shade. She easily tolerates even deep shading.
Temperature
Prefers 16-18 degrees in winter and 18-25 degrees in summer. Going beyond these ranges can lead to illness. Yes, yes, and this tin soldier of the plant kingdom sometimes gets sick. But more on that later.
Air humidity
Air humidity for a pike tail is not important. You do not need to spray it. But periodically it is useful to wipe the sheet plates with a damp cloth.
Home care
For sansevieria, home care is not difficult. The only thing that can do harm is over-watering. It should be remembered that this is a resident of the arid regions of the planet and excessive soil moisture will lead to root rot.
The optimal watering regime is once a week in dry summer. In the rainy season - as the soil dries up. In winter, one watering a month is enough, preferably with slightly warmed water.
Attention: Be careful not to let water enter the pike-tail outlet. In some cases, this can lead to decay, especially during the cold season.
Sansevieria does not require fertilization. But if you want to feed a flower, do it not often - no more than once a month, with a special composition for succulents. In winter, top dressing is contraindicated. Excessive saturation of the leaf with useful substances will make it brighter, but less elastic, which may cause the plant to lose its decorative effect. It is much more important to regularly remove dust from the surface of the leaf plates and cut off the faded inflorescences. Only sansevieria cylindrica needs lime dressing and this is its distinctive feature.
Sansevieria transplant
For a pike tail plant, home care is also simple because it does not require frequent transplantation. For two and even three years, sansevieria feels great in a familiar pot. The flower itself will tell you that it is time to transplant it. The signal will be the emergence of roots from the drain holes. The pot should be taken thick-walled, wide, but not deep (due to the peculiarity of the root system), with a drainage system.
Plant propagation methods
If you have an adult sansevieria, there are three ways to reproduce it:
- dividing the rhizome... This is the most simple, convenient and reliable way... Remove the plant from the pot, shake off the soil, remove diseased roots, if any. Using a sharp garden knife, divide the rhizome so that a growing point is left on each part. If possible, treat the sections with ash. Place the cuttings in different pots. Cover the roots with soil completely. Leave the plant in a warm, slightly shaded place for two weeks;
- side shoots... This method is similar to the previous one. But the baby is cut off from the old plant. The transplant mechanism is the same;
- dividing the old sheet... The leaf plate is cut in width into several, ideally five, parts. Wither day. After that, at an angle of 45 degrees, they are placed in the sand in a flat pot. Cover with a jar. Leave to take root by pouring from the pallet. In about a month and a half, buds will appear, and of them - young leaves. The plant can now be transplanted into soil.
The first two methods are suitable for maintaining the variegated color of the plant. Sansevieria from a leaf turns out to be monochromatic.
Diseases and pests
As already mentioned above, sansevieria, the species of which, all absolutely, extremely hardy, can be susceptible to disease. Most problems are easy to fix.
- If rot appeared at the base of the leaf means the soil is too wet. Try to reduce watering. And if the decay problem is more serious, remove the flower from the pot and remove the decayed roots. Treat the wounds with crushed coal. If the entire root is affected, try to save the sansevieria by rooting part of the leaf.
Brown spots on the leaves also indicate waterlogging of the soil. - Coloring becomes faded or monochromatic when the plant does not have enough light. Change the place.
- the appearance of a sticky cobweb. The reason is a spider mite. Sansevieria takes on a marble color and dries up. Insectoacaricides are used to combat. Or a folk remedy - green soap with Persian chamomile;
- castings turn yellow, deform and dry out... The reason is mealybug. You can collect insects by hand. After that, wash the pike tail well, the harm from the worm can be eliminated in this simple way;
- thrips suck the juice and on the leaves dry spots appear... Control measures are the same as for spider mites.
To avoid these problems, periodically inspect the plant. It is always better to prevent the disease.

The pike tail houseplant is unpretentious and easy to grow. It is perfect for beginners in floriculture. With proper care, it will have dense, beautiful and vibrant leaves, and in some species it will even bloom.
Lighting
Indoor flowers pike tail are very fond of good lighting throughout the year, but some non-variegated forms can grow in shady places. Variegated species should be placed in places with bright light, since in the shade they lose their decorative color.That's why the best option for placing a plant would be east or west... If the pike tail grows in the southern part of the room, then it needs shading only in very hot weather. Cultivars with green foliage can be placed on the north side, but then they will become darker in color and will not bloom. You can create additional lighting using fluorescent lamps.
Temperature and humidity
Although the flowers of the pike tail are not very demanding on the air temperature, care for them at home in spring and summer is carried out at eighteen to twenty-five degrees, and in winter at fourteen to sixteen. More low temperatures lead to the occurrence of various diseases.The pike tail can be grown in any humidity. Spraying and wiping the foliage with a damp cloth is required only to remove dust from it.
Watering and feeding
Watering the plant at any time of the year should be done in moderation only after the top layer of the soil has dried. Overflows are very harmful to the pike tail, as they quickly cause rotting of the root system. But you should not dry out the soil too much, because the foliage loses its hardness, becomes wrinkled and can dry out completely. Before watering, the water must be boiled or purified.When watering a pike tail, care must be taken that water does not get inside the outlets, this leads to their decay.
Plant feeding is carried out from the beginning of the spring period to the end of summer no more than once a month. To do this, use complex mineral fertilizers or compositions for cacti and succulents. You should not use fertilizers with a large amount of nitrogen, it leads to a disease of the pike tail with various rot.
What should be the soil and the pike tail pot
Although the pike tail is not too picky about the quality of the soil, it is still better to make a good breathable nutrient mixture for good development and the onset of flowering. To do this, you can take sod land (4 parts), leafy soil (2 parts), humus (1 part), peat (1 part), coarse sand, small pebbles or perlite (1 part).
After compiling the substrate, it must be sterilized to destroy pathogens. This can be done by calcining it or spilling it with a solution of potassium permanganate. From ready-made soil mixtures for planting a plant, soil for geraniums is well suited, to which a small amount of coarse sand is added. You can also use hydroponics.
For a pike tail, it is very important to choose the right pot. If possible, you need use ceramic containers with thick walls... Since in some species the foliage length can reach one meter or more, ordinary plastic pots can easily turn over, which will harm the plant, and heavy clay containers will give balance.
When transplanting, you need to pick up a pot slightly larger than the old one (no more than five centimeters in diameter). This will enable rapid leaf growth and flowering. If the volume is too large, then a long build-up of the root system will occur. Due to the fact that the roots of the plant do not grow in depth, but in width, the container should be chosen not deep, but wide.
Pike tail flower transplant at home
The pike tail does not require frequent transplants. Transplanting the plant is necessary when the pot becomes too small or bursts, usually once every two to three years. For this, a new container is taken, laid out with a layer of drainage and filled with a substrate. The plant is taken out of the pot, the roots are cleaned of soil, examined, rotten ones are cut off. After that, the pike tail is transplanted into a new container. Pruning is not required for the plant, only the dried tips of the leaves are removed, so that a small dry area remains so that further drying does not occur. Extra sockets that can be used for reproduction are also removed.After the transplant, you need to choose a permanent place of growth for the pike tail, since it does not like permutations.
How can you propagate a pike tail yourself
The pike tail reproduces vegetatively. This can be a division of the rhizome, lateral shoots, leaves or parts thereof.Reproduction by dividing the rhizome
You can plant a pike tail in the spring. The plant is taken out of the pot and cut into three to four pieces with a sharp, clean knife. Each part must have at least one growth point. It is advisable to treat the incision sites with activated carbon. Received planting material seated in individual containers, moistened and placed in a bright, warm room. Rooting occurs quickly enough, after which new young shoots begin to appear around.Reproduction by side shoots
A fairly easy breeding method. You just need to carefully separate the well-developed lateral shoot with roots from the main plant and transplant it into a separate pot, which must be placed in a fairly light and warm place. Watering should be moderate. After rooting, the care is the same as for adult plants.If the shoot is detached without roots, it can be placed in water, and after the emergence of roots, planted in the soil.
Reproduction of a flower pike tail by a leaf or by dividing it
Small sheets can be rooted whole in peat and sand soil. Old large leaves divided into parts. To do this, they are cut into pieces about five centimeters in length and slightly dried during the day. The knife must be disinfected with, for example, alcohol. The planting container is filled with wet sand and a furrow is made in it.
Parts of the leaf are placed in it at a distance of three centimeters and are well strengthened. To prevent their decay, you can spray with fungicide solution... The plantings are covered with polyethylene film and placed in a room with an air temperature of twenty-one to twenty-four degrees.
Lighting should be good, but direct sunlight should not be allowed on the seedlings. As the sand dries, it is slightly moistened. Rooting of parts of the leaves lasts up to two months. After a few sheets appear, they are seated in small containers of potting soil.
Diseases, pests and possible difficulties in growing a pike tail
With proper maintenance, the pike tail is rarely infested with pests and diseases. Sometimes it may appear spider mites, mealybugs and thrips. They can be washed off with a solution of green soap or laundry soap. In case of severe damage, an insecticide treatment should be carried out.From diseases, rotting of the root system and rosettes, which occurs when waterlogged, is dangerous. In this case, you need to remove the affected areas, and treat the remaining parts with a fungicide solution. It is advisable to transplant the plant into new soil. The appearance of fungal diseases is also possible, the presence of which can be recognized by the appearance of red-brown spots. Unfortunately, they are difficult to treat, often the plant has to be destroyed.
Due to excessive watering, the pike tail often turns yellow and softens, and its foliage dies off. In order to save the plant, you need to remove the affected leaves, and transplant the rest of the plant into a new substrate. If at the same time rotted root system, you will have to root the sheets or parts of them.
If the leaves wither and rot in the absence of overflow, then the plant is kept in a cold room. It is also necessary to remove all affected areas and move the pike tail to a warmer place. The appearance of dark brown spots on the foliage may indicate waterlogging of the soil or too low light.
Subject to these care recommendations, the pike tail will have strong, tough foliage. Its showiness and decorativeness can create a wonderful background in various compositions of potted flowers and add a special exoticism to the room. And the unpretentiousness of the plant makes it available for cultivation even for those who are completely far from the basics of floriculture.
Among people, there are a huge number of signs associated with the "pike tail" flower. These signs are both positive and negative. In fact, all these signs are not based on real facts. In some cases, the sansevier may bloom during the winter cold, or full-fledged flowers suddenly begin to fade. According to popular legend, this phenomenon indicates that the family will very soon face discord.
At the same time, such a phenomenon indicates to the owners that they need to start a new business. It is important to note the moment that the plant blooms only when all the conditions are created for it, and the situation is very favorable. Accordingly, the fact that the flower pleased with its flowering testifies only to the well-being, peace, love and consent of the family.
Certain signs indicate the ability of a flower to independently create the necessary environment for itself and protect the family from grief and adversity. This is due to the very sharp tips of the leaves, which capture all negative impulses, and thus, prevent the occurrence of negative moments.
Harmful and useful properties
Probably it will not be a secret to anyone that this plant has useful medicinal properties... Sansevier is used as:
- choleretic and diuretic;
- antiviral agent;
- means for stimulating the work of the glands;
- immune-strengthening agent;
- remedies for the treatment of cough, bronchitis;
- means for the treatment of female diseases.
Also, the pike tail does an excellent job with various inflammations on the surface of the skin. Thanks to the oxygen exchange process, the sansevier takes over the air purification function. If you place the plant near electrical appliances, then, in this way, you can reduce the level of negative radiation that is emitted by devices, especially a computer.
This plant is great for dealing with stressful conditions, mood swings, and fatigue. It has a positive effect on the nervous system. This fact has long been confirmed with the help of sufficient a large number research.
It turns out that the chemical composition of the leaves contains special essential oils that have been used in aromatherapy for a long time.
The evaporation of these oils into the air that a person breathes leads to the fact that it significantly facilitates breathing, reduces nervous tension, as well as headaches.
It is difficult to say that the effect of the flower on the body will be so strong, it is especially difficult to predict if there are other plants in the house in addition to it. It is known for sure that mother-in-law's tongue will have a general strengthening effect on the body.
Proper care and reproduction
Sansevier can be classified as plant categories that are quite resistant to drought and the lack of a sufficient amount of nutrients. If the task is to achieve flowering, then in this case it is necessary to change tactics and begin careful care of the mother-in-law's tongue.
In order for the flower to fully grow and develop, it is necessary to choose a room for it where the temperature is normal, since it will not be comfortable for it in a cold room.
It is important that the temperature is not lower than 15-17 degrees. With the onset of winter cold weather, this indicator may decrease slightly and reach the level of 10-12 degrees.
Because of this temperature regime it is not always possible to grow it in the country. A private residential house or apartment is best suited for him.
If we consider the increase in temperature, then it does not have such a detrimental effect on the plant, and it can tolerate such changes quite well. Intense sun rays are practically unable to leave spot burns on the surface of the leaves. In some cases, small yellow spots may appear, but their scale is not critical.
To avoid this, you need to slightly darken the window when the sun's rays are most intense. This procedure is also relevant at a time when buds appear on the flower. They may not be revealed for a long time, but as soon as the amount sunlight will become smaller, they will open up right there.
It should be noted that those varieties that have a bright color of the leaves, under the influence of the sun, may slightly lose their brightness and, as a result, simply tarnish.
The humidity level of the air practically does not play any role in the condition of the sansevier. You can take care of her as you like. This can be spraying the leaves, wiping the surface of the leaves with a damp cloth, or simply sprinkling water on the ground. You can water about three times a month.
The pike tail has a unique ability to accumulate liquid in the structure of the sheets. If the hostess accidentally forgot to water it, then he takes the right amount of liquid from his bins. Then, after the next watering, he will replenish his stocks. In winter, you can reduce the amount of watering to 1 time.
Regarding the amount of water for irrigation, it should be said that if watering is frequent, then it is necessary only to slightly moisten the soil, but if watering is rare, then the amount of water should accordingly be greater.
There is no need to worry about feeding as it is not necessary. The fertilization procedure is best done only during the transplantation period, and this happens at intervals of 3-4 years. Special attention should be paid to the pot, where the flower will actually be transplanted.
It is best to choose a pot that has a shallow depth, but at the same time, its width should be decent, since from time to time the soil needs to be slightly loosened.
It is necessary to transplant the mother-in-law's tongue in such a way that the part of the earth that holds on to the root system. This is done in order not to damage the root. Before removing the flower from the flowerpot, you need to knock lightly on the walls, then the earth on the sides will move away and, together with the root, it can be easily removed.
Sansevier can be propagated by dividing the bush or by cuttings.
Many have a pike-tail flower on their windowsills, everyone is used to calling it that way, and meanwhile, its scientific name is sansevier. It is unusual in that it does not have a stem, but only wide leaves that come straight out of the nest, forming a bush. In appearance, each of the leaves really resembles the tail of a pike, hence it got its popular name. The birthplace of this flower is Africa and tropical Asian regions. It is capable of flowering. Buds with white-green petals are tied from the rosette. They open in the morning and close in the evening. The flowers have a strong scent that attracts insects. Due to the fact that almost no maintenance is required for it, this flower is ubiquitous; it is especially loved to keep in schools, hospitals and other public institutions.
Few people know that it also has medicinal properties and is used in alternative medicine. It is not as well known as chamomile and milk thistle, for example. Sansevier is used for medicinal purposes mainly as a choleretic and diuretic. Its roots have an antiviral and diaphoretic effect, strengthen the immune system, fight against fungal diseases, bronchitis, cough and others. Leaves of a pike tail are applied to purulent wounds, having previously kneaded them, it is known that its juice promotes rapid healing. This property can be compared to the action of plantain.
Thanks to the large and fleshy leaves of the pike tail, it cleans indoor air well and reduces harmful effect computer and other similar equipment. It is believed that it improves the emotional atmosphere in the house, quarrels subside, self-confidence increases, and even male potency increases.
Thanks to essential oils, Sansevier destroys bacteria and germs. Botanists have not identified any harmful and dangerous properties in the pike tail, and since it cleans the air well, it is very popular, and you can often find it in children's institutions, offices, and so on.
Plant care rules
The pike tail is not just whimsical, but truly immortal. No special care is needed. The owners of this flower can forget about its existence for a long time, it can live for several months without watering, and probably very rare people feed it. Of course, in such Spartan conditions, you can forget about it, but if you still want to enjoy its flowering and not test the sansevier for vitality, then you need to take care of it.
Seat selection
Refers to indoor plants, and it is not advisable to keep it in cold rooms. The optimum temperature is 15-17 degrees in summer and 10-12 degrees in winter. Therefore, it is perfect for offices, shops and other similar places. If the temperature exceeds the optimal level, then there is nothing wrong with that, the flower tolerates heat well, and special care is not required at such a time. He is not afraid of the bright sun, does not burn and does not dry out under the sun's rays, but still sometimes he needs to be shaded. He needs a shade during the flowering period, since his flowers are delicate and can fall off, and in the shade they will open faster, and the pike tail will bloom longer.
Air humidity and watering
This criterion does not affect the life of the plant in any way. It is necessary to spray the leaves, but rarely, or wipe the leaves with a damp cloth from dust to allow them to breathe freely and store moisture. Frequent watering is also not required, it is enough to water the bush 2-3 times a month, and in winter even less often once a month. But even if you rarely water the pike tail, then it will not die, since it accumulates moisture well in the juicy leaves, and slowly consumes it. If you need to go somewhere, and there is no one to water the flower, then all the same, upon arrival, it will remain unchanged.
Top dressing
There is practically no need to feed the pike tail, with the exception of cases when it needs to be transplanted. It is transplanted every 3-4 years, as it grows, and the substrate is depleted. As a top dressing, it is advisable to take fertilizers for deciduous plants that contain little nitrogen, since from an excess of nitrogen, the roots can begin to rot.
Transfer
A wide and not very deep pot is chosen for transplantation. The substrate must provide good drainage and contain peat or compost. Such soil is rich in organic matter and will provide the necessary nutrition for the plant for a long time. When transplanting from one pot to another, the caked soil is left around the roots so as not to damage the root system.
Disease and pest control
If proper care is followed, then I will show little. The main cause of all diseases of this plant is waterlogging of the soil, which causes rotting of the roots. With excessive moisture, the oxygen content in the soil decreases, mold and other pathogenic microorganisms develop. If the plant shows signs of rot, the leaves turn yellow, then it must be taken out of the pot, the roots with rot must be removed and the flower must be dried. Shake out the old soil from the pot, add new soil and plant a flower in it.
Of all the pests, the pike tail is most susceptible to attacks and. In this case, brown and white spots appear on the plant. To destroy pests, you need to spray the flower with an insecticide or add it to the soil. As an improvised means to fight insects, you can use alcohol. Rub the leaves with alcohol.
Taking care of this unpretentious plant very simple, and it brings enormous benefits, so it can be grown in any room, and thanks to the huge variety of varieties, everyone will find the one that they like the most.
Plant propagation
Pike tail breeding does not require any special skills. The pike tail can be propagated in four ways - by shoots, rhizome, leaf and cuttings.
Reproduction by shoots
This is the simplest and effective method, which gives almost 100% result. The plant grows new shoots, which must be separated along with the root system and transplanted into another pot. It turns out already a completely independent plant.
Propagation by rhizome
You can cut off a piece of rhizome with a bud and propagate it in this way. To do this, the piece must be planted in wet sand.
Propagation by leaves
The leaf is placed in the ground and waited for it to germinate.
Cuttings
The leaf of the plant is cut into several parts, then buried in wet sand, and covered with glass containers on top. I will have new plants in about two months.
All methods are very simple, the pike tail reproduces well and several plants can be obtained simultaneously with such methods.
Despite the unpretentiousness of the plant, in order to enjoy the beauty of flowers, lush lush greenery needs proper and thorough care. During flowering, the flower throws out an arrow at the end of which a beautiful delicate flower blooms, smelling of vanilla. It blooms only with very caring owners, therefore it is believed that if a pike tail has bloomed, then he loves his owner, and he was properly cared for.

Purify the air
They create coziness,
They turn green on the windows
Bloom all year round. (Houseplants)
White juice is hidden in the trunk,
Like a piece of leather

Try to name it yourself! (Balsam)
On the window, on the shelf
The needles have grown.
Yes, the flowers are satin,
Scarlet and red. (Cacti) 
Entertaining experiences to familiarize children with indoor plants
Experience "With water and without water"
Purpose: To identify the environmental factors necessary for the growth and development of plants (water, light, heat)
Material: Two identical plants (balsam), water
Stroke: An adult offers to find out why plants cannot live without water (the plant will wither, the leaves will dry out, there is water in the leaves); what will happen if one plant is watered, and the other is not (without watering, the plant dries up, turns yellow, leaves and stems lose their elasticity) The results of observing the state of plants, depending on watering, are sketched for one week. Make up a model of plant dependence on water. Children conclude that a plant cannot live without water.
Experience "In the light and in the dark"
Purpose: To determine the environmental factors necessary for the growth and development of plants.
Material: a stalk of a houseplant in a pot, a box made of durable cardboard, two containers with earth.
Stroke: An adult asks to find out if light is needed for plant life. Close the pot with the plant cuttings with a cardboard cap. Sketch the results of the experiment after seven to ten days (the flower under the cap has become light, pale). Remove the cap. After seven to ten days, the result is again sketched (the flower turned green in the light - it means that food has formed in it)
Experiment "Can a plant breathe"
Purpose: Reveal the plant's need for air, respiration. Understand how the respiration process occurs in a plant.
Material: Houseplant, Cocktail Tubes, Vaseline.
Stroke: An adult asks if plants breathe, how to prove that they breathe. Children determine, based on knowledge about the process of breathing in humans, that when breathing, air must enter the plant and leave it. Inhale and exhale through the tube. Then the hole of the tube is covered with petroleum jelly. Children try to breathe through the tube and conclude that petroleum jelly does not allow air to pass through. It is hypothesized that plants have very small holes in the leaves through which they breathe. To check this, smear one or both sides of the leaf with petroleum jelly, observe the leaves daily for a week. A week later, they conclude: the leaves "breathe" with their underside, because those leaves that were smeared with Vaseline on the underside died.
Experience "Does the plant have respiratory organs?"
Purpose: Determine that all parts of the plant are involved in respiration.
Material: A transparent container with water, a leaf on a long stem or stem, a cocktail tube, a magnifying glass.
Stroke: The adult asks to find out if air passes through the leaves into the interior of the plant. Suggestions are made on how to detect air: children examine the cut of the stem through a magnifying glass (there are holes), immerse the stem in water (observe the release of bubbles from the stem). An adult with children conducts the "Through the Leaf" experiment: water is poured into a bottle, leaving it 2-3 cm empty. Insert the leaf into the bottle so that the tip of the stem is immersed in water. The opening of the bottle is tightly covered with plasticine, like a cork. Here they make a hole for the straw and insert it so that the tip does not reach the water, fix the straw with plasticine. Standing in front of the mirror, suck air from the bottle. Air bubbles begin to emerge from the submerged end of the stem. Children conclude that air passes through the leaf into the stem, since the release of bubbles into the water from the stem is visible.
Experience "Who's Better?"
Purpose: To identify favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants, to substantiate the dependence of plants on the soil.
Material: Two identical cuttings, a container of water, a pot of soil, plant care items.
Stroke: An adult offers to determine whether the plants can live long without soil (they cannot); where they grow better - in water or in soil. Children put geranium cuttings in different containers - with water, with soil. Observe them until the first new leaf appears. The results of the experiment are formalized in the observation diary and in the form of a model of plant dependence on soil (for a plant in soil new leaf appears faster, the plant gains strength better, the plant is weak in water)
Experience "Labyrinth"
Purpose: To establish how the plant seeks light.
Material: Cardboard box with a lid and partitions inside in the form of a labyrinth; a potato tuber in one corner, a hole in the other.
Course: A tuber is placed in a box, closed, put in a warm place, with a hole towards the light source. Open the box after the potato sprouts appear in the hole. Consider, noting their direction, color (sprouts are pale, curved). Leaving the box open, they continue to observe the change in the color of the sprouts and the direction of growth (they turn green, stretch in different directions). The conclusion is formulated: the plant grows better in the light.
Experience "What do plants need to feed?"
Purpose: To establish the need for light for plant nutrition
Material: Indoor plants with hard leaves (ficus, bastard), adhesive plaster
Stroke: An adult offers children a riddle letter: what will happen if no light falls on a part of the sheet (part of the sheet will be lighter). The children's assumptions are tested by experience: part of the sheet is sealed with a plaster, the plant is placed to a light source for a week. After a week, the plaster is removed, the children conclude: without light, food in the plants does not form.
Food Factory experience
Purpose: Determine that the plant can provide food for itself.
Material: Pot with plant inside glass jars wide mouth, sealed lid.
Stroke: Inside a large transparent container, children place a cutting of a plant in water or a plant in a small pot. The soil is watered. The container is hermetically closed with a lid, placed in a warm, bright place. The plant is monitored for a month. Find out why it did not die (the plant continues to grow, drops of water periodically appear on the walls of the jar, then disappear). The plant feeds itself.
Experience "What are the roots for?"
Target : prove that the roots of the plant absorb water; clarify the function of plant roots; establish the relationship between the structure and function of the roots.
Equipment : a stalk of geranium or balsam with roots, a container of water, closed with a lid with a slot for the stalk.
Experience progress : The students examine cuttings of balsam or geranium with roots, find out why the roots are needed by the plant (the roots fix the plant in the ground), whether they absorb water. An experiment is carried out: the plant is placed in a transparent container, the water level is noted, the container is tightly closed with a lid with a slot for the cutting. Determine what happened to the water after a few days (there is little water). The assumption of children is checked after 7-8 days (there is less water) and the process of water absorption by the roots is explained. Children sketch the result.
A tall sprout has grown in a pot,
On a gentle morning, he opened the petals.
Beauty and nourishment to all petals
Together they give roots underground.
Experience "How to see the movement of water through the roots?"
Target : prove that plant roots absorb water, clarify the function of plant roots, establish the relationship between the structure and function of roots.
Equipment : balsam stalk with roots, water with food coloring.
Experience progress :
Students examine cuttings of geranium or balsam with roots, clarify the functions of the roots (they strengthen the plant in the soil, take moisture from it). What else can roots take from the earth? The children's assumptions are discussed. Consider food dry dye - "food", add it to water, stir. Find out what should happen if the roots can take not only water (the roots should be painted in a different color). After a few days, the children sketch the results of the experiment in an observation diary. Clarify what will happen to the plant if substances harmful to it are in the ground (the plant will die, taking harmful substances along with the water).

What they have is given.
From all adversity, your window
Outside their live bouquet.
And with this multicolored sun
You will be warmly warm!
****
Flashlight wonderful, multi-colored -
what is this magic?
He will dissolve his flowers

What are plants for?
|
purify the air  |
treat
|
|
give oxygen  |
predict the weather 
|
|
create coziness (beauty)  |
cheer up
|
Why is the earth loosened?
Loosening of the soil is carried out in a wet state; loosening dry soil can damage the roots.
Loose soil contributes to better water supply to the plant (water is better absorbed)
Loose soil retains moisture longer than compacted soil
No wonder loosening is called dry irrigation.
Greetings
... Let's walk slowly in a circle
And let's say hello to each flower.
I have to bend over the flowers
Not to rip or cut
And to see their kind faces
And show them a kind face.

I am capricious and tender
Needed for any holiday.
I can be white, yellow, red
But I always remain beautiful!
(the Rose)
I'm good in a wedding bouquet
And in the garden where the nightingales whistle.
All year round in many countries of the world
I serve as a declaration of love.
(the Rose)
According to legend, my flower
Opens the treasures.
They say that once a year
A miracle happens.
But I'll be honest:
I don't actually bloom! (Fern)
We have neither fingers nor hands -
Only petals around.
We have an unusual name,
But we don’t need a manicure!
(Marigold)
