Bubble-leaf “Diablo”: description
This variety is a representative of the purple-leaved vesicles. He has a disrupted synthesis of a substance like chlorophyll. Thanks to this, the shrub differs from other brethren, having only green foliage.
Bubble plant “Diablo” can have a different color of leaves, depending on the illumination of the place of its growth
Diablo blooms at the very beginning of summer. The bush is covered with flowers of a pale pink hue, which are collected in inflorescences up to 5 cm in diameter. The flowers themselves are not particularly beautiful, but their lovely aroma and tenderness cannot leave anyone indifferent. The flowering period is just over two weeks. Only under certain conditions can it last for several months. The rest of the time, the decorative function is performed by the leaves, which, even without flowers, give the plant an unusual look.
No less interesting in “Diablo” and the fruits, which outwardly very much resemble swollen bubbles. At first they are green in color, and by the time they ripen, they become reddish-brown.
Ripening occurs at the very beginning of autumn, and the fruits stay on the bush for a very long time, thereby decorating it almost until the very winter. The plant can grow in the same place for up to 50 years.
Planting bladderworm “Diablo”
Immediately before planting, the root system must be placed in a container of water. At this time, dig a hole 60 × 60 × 60 in size and add humus (or peat) to it. When planting, the root collar must be sprinkled with earth. This will help awaken additional buds that can give new branches. After that, the land around the bush must be mulched. For this purpose, sawdust or grass is used. This technique allows you not to restrict the air flow, but at the same time reduces the risk of soil drying out.
If the plant was purchased with a closed root (for example, in a special container), then it can be planted at any time. But shoots with an open root are planted in spring and autumn.
After planting, the bush is watered every couple of days until it begins to grow. Do not be upset if growth is slow in the first year – this is quite normal. If you plan to plant several bushes, then you need to maintain a distance of at least 80 centimeters between them.
The bubble plant is a beautiful and unpretentious plant that can decorate any home plot. Minimal maintenance is required, but the unusual appearance will attract the attention of neighbors and passers-by.
