The cleanings fit perfectly into the landscape of the landscape. A variety of species allows you to pick up sedums for any flower garden. These plants are considered the most common in the world. They can be found almost anywhere in the world, except for the arctic regions. The name sedumov on one of the versions means "to sit", as they spread along the ground, the second version translates the name sedum as "calm", referring to the healing properties of the cleanses.

Types of cleaning

The genus of purification is very large, it includes more than 500 species of the most diverse plants. Most often they are used as perennial soil cover plants. The bulk of sedums perfectly winter without any shelter in the middle zone of Russia, and some species are cultivated in indoor floriculture. Cleansers or sedums are known to people from ancient times. The juice obtained from the leaves of these plants was greased with wounds and burns, in addition, it is a biostimulant, similar in its qualities to aloe juice. Purification as a medicinal plant is mentioned even in ancient Greek myths.

Purification of the prominent is rarely used for alpine hills because of its great height. For these purposes, other plant species from this family are better suited. For example, purification Lydian, white, false, bent, Kamchatka and others. Some species of sedum grow rapidly, and then they have to be removed so that these aggressors do not clog other plants. Many fans of ornamental gardens plant a clear cleaning, because it practically does not require care. When all the main flowering ends and on the threshold there is autumn with soft colors, the clearings begin to please the eyes with their flowers. In one place, it can grow to ten years, not aggressive towards other plants. Among other things, there are some types of cleaning, which, until the frosts, decorate the garden with their flowering, and even under the snow caps remain decorative.

How to grow a cleansing?

Despite the fact that the plant is unpretentious, at the very beginning it is necessary to give it a good start. To do this, we prepare a pit of 50x50 cm and a depth of 20 cm. The substrate for planting consists of humus and sand, or from sandy loam and humus. A place for clearing a prominent one is choosing a sunny one. All care for the plants is the timely weeding and loosening. They perfectly tolerate dry periods, feeding at that time with their moisture reserves, which they accumulate in thick leaves. On the frequently asked question, when replanting the cleaning, you can answer that after 5-7 years when dividing the bush and its rejuvenation.

The clearing is a medicinal plant, but it should not be confused with other species of sedum, among which there are also toxic species.

Room cleaning

House cleaning is grown most often as an ampel plant, sometimes as a ground cover. The ampel shape for these plants is more comfortable, because in this form they grow in the wild. Some sedums grow on mountain slopes, having traced roots for the minimum amount of a ground, they hang down clusters from rocks. For indoor floriculture are suitable such species as the purification of Morgan, Weinberg, thick-leaved cleansing, compact, red-colored, linear, Zybold's purification. When planting indoor species of sedum, a mixture of turf and leaf land, peat and sand is used. For their cultivation, it is better to take low pots or pots. Propagation is carried out by stem stems. Morgan's cleansing is not recommended for frequent transplantation, since after the transplant the leaves fall off. Potosinsky's purification differs from other species in that it requires more frequent irrigation than other species. This plant also reproduces stem and apical cuttings, but before they are planted in the soil, the cuttings are dried for several days. This sedum grows much faster than other species, and after 3-4 years a purification is performed with simultaneous rejuvenation.
