How to grow a golden mustache at home, healing properties and use. Golden mustache: medicinal properties of the plant

Golden mustache is also called fragrant callis, the official name is Fragrant Spironema. It is a plant of the commeline family, which has more than 50 genera and ten times as many species.

The homeland of the golden mustache is South America, and the relative is Tradescantia. They began to accustom the plant to "home life" about 100 years ago, it came to Russia only a couple of decades ago and immediately won the fame of the people's doctor, standing next to aloe, geranium and Kalanchoe.

Features of the golden mustache

Many growers call the golden mustache dichorizandra, not spironoma. It's two different plantsthat belong to the same family. They are similar in appearance, which causes confusion.

Dichorizandra has no "antennae" at all, and its flowers are purple, not white. In addition, it has no healing properties and can only be used as a decoration. Her growing conditions are also different.

Golden mustache can cope with a variety of ailments - it was not for nothing that in ancient times it was called “ Living water". Also the names "Mexican mustache" and "Corn ginseng" took root. It is believed that the plant got to Europe through imported foreign goods, the path of which ran through the monasteries and temples of the East.

Local monks first used a modest flower as a decoration for their homes, and soon they discovered it. healing properties, after which its cultivation began. In their hands, the flower began to be called "Oriental mustache" or "Plant of the East".

The appearance of a golden mustache

It is a large perennial plant that can grow up to a meter in height. True, it grows rather slowly, at home it grows up to 30 cm in height and up to 100-120 cm in width. If there is support, the stems crawl up, otherwise they spread along the ground.

As you grow bumps form on the trunkgradually turning into separate shoots - "whiskers". They, in turn, consist of several "joints" and end in leaf rosettes. This is the first type of shoot that is suitable for propagation when the "whiskers" turn purple.

The second type is formed erect, developed leaves, which reach 20-25 cm in length and 5-6 cm in width. They are located alternately, their bases are quite close to each other, which is why many believe that this is one outlet.

In appearance, the foliage is similar to that of corn - the same fleshy and dense... At break, you can see thin stretching hairs, because of which the people nicknamed the golden mustache "hair of the Venus" or "living hair".

Depending on the care and climate, a golden mustache can bloom. Small white flowers are formed at the tops of the shoots. They have a pleasant aroma that can be compared to lily of the valley or hyacinth.

The healing properties of the golden mustache

Golden mustache is an excellent and affordable remedy for many ailments, the cultivation of which will not cause trouble. His track record is quite extensive:

Prepare from the plant ointments, infusions, decoctions, oil, compresses and much more. It is worth remembering that the use of a golden mustache can cause an allergic reaction and should be agreed with your doctor. Children are strictly prohibited from taking the plant in any form.

Home plant care

It is not difficult to grow a golden mustache: it is quite unpretentious and requires only not to forget about it. Even beginner growers will easily master its cultivation.

Golden mustache is unpretentious and can grow in the simplest soil. You can also use loam and the addition of river sand and eggshell or make a mixture of greenhouse humus and turf with a little sand. Organic varieties containing nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus can be used as fertilizers.

Reproduction of the golden mustache

For the first breeding method, rosettes are used, which are formed at the ends of thin purple shoots. Them neatly cut and dipped in water by ¾ and leave for 1-2 weeks so that the roots can get stronger.

After that, the sprout can be transplant into soilmixed with sand and eggshells. A small pot will be enough at first, but over time, a larger tub will be needed. Propagate golden mustache better in spring or in the fall.

Another method requires little or no human intervention. Sometimes the shoots tilt so much that the rosettes can reach the soil and settle down on your own... After they settle down, the sprout can be dug up and transplanted, or left with the "parent".

In a wide pot, several golden mustaches look harmonious: together the bush looks more magnificent and more colorful. If you decide to divide the plant, moisten the transplanted sprout abundantly with water and cover with a plastic cap for 3-4 days to create a greenhouse effect. Then the "young" are transferred to the room and watered abundantly for a couple of days.

You can also use long shootsby transplanting them into soil. However, this method is less successful than the first and second: plants often do not take root.

You can plant a golden mustache not only in a pot at home. It takes root well in summer cottages, in greenhouses and under a film. It is recommended to fertilize open ground with ash and superphosphate.

Despite the fact that mostly home care behind the golden mustache does not cause any difficulties, there are several points worth paying attention to:

The golden mustache is practically not susceptible to harmful insects, it does not need to be protected. To get rid of thrips and red spider mites, you need to constantly ventilate the room and spray the leaves.

If prevention does not help, it is necessary spray the leaves with an insecticide, cover with a bag and leave for several days.

The second option for solving the same problem will be spraying the leaves with a mixture tobacco and laundry soap ... This will help create an additional film on the leaves, through which pests will not pass.

An unpretentious golden mustache is perfect for both experienced gardenersand for beginners. Observing the simple rules of watering and carefully choosing for the plant optimal room, you can forget about the troubles associated with floriculture for a long time.

Fragrant callis is the name of the golden mustache in scientific circles. This plant has medicinal properties not less than scarlet and Kalanchoe. Unlike these plants, it is not approved by the Ministry of Health, and they continue to debate around it. But these discussions are not paid attention to by lovers of traditional medicine.

Healing properties

In traditional medicine recipes, the use of the golden mustache is quite wide. It is popularly called homemade ginseng. If you are worried about such ailments as bronchial asthma, gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary diseases, gall bladder, spleen, then you can use this plant without worrying about the negative consequences. There is a popular belief that with the help of this plant it is possible to facilitate different kind painful sensations. For example: relieve itching, heal burns, bruises, relieve lichens, ulcers. In order to use this plant for medicinal purposes, it is not necessary to buy it, you can grow it at home.

Fragrant Callisia is a very large houseplant, reaches 1 m in height. Propagated by shoots, they resemble vines (mustaches). The mustache is made up of joints. They are purple-brown in color and have a broom of leaves at the end. A plant with nine or more joints on the shoots can be considered a healing plant.

Having planted a golden mustache at home, you need to remember that regardless of the fact that he loves warmth and light, he in no case does not accept direct sunlight.

Plant soil

To plant callisia, it is necessary to mix several types of soil:

• greenhouse humus;
• sod land;
• river sand, preferably coarse.

At the bottom of the planting pot, it is advisable to make drainage. You can use eggshells for drainage, preferably from raw eggs... To improve the effect, crush the shell with sand.

We take care of the medicinal plant

In the warm season, more specifically in spring and summer, the flower needs to be watered every day. In this case, use a small amount of liquid. Waterlogging of the soil can negatively affect plants and their development. In autumn and winter, callisia should be watered 3 times a week. The most optimal temperature for the normal development of the plant is considered to be 26 ° C, humidity is preferable - 55%. In winter, the period of calmness of most plants, temperature regime, which contains the plant, it is recommended to reduce. After rooting, the flower is fed with liquid fertilizers. The leaves are sprayed with softened water every three days.

With good development and growth, callis must be attached to an additional support, because the plant can break under the weight of its weight and lateral processes.

It can be concluded that the golden mustache is not a very picky plant. It can easily grow and reproduce at home.

Reproduction

There are three breeding methods:

1. You need to take the cuttings and place them in water 3/4. After 10 days, the appearance of roots will be noticeable. After which the plant can be planted. To accelerate root growth, epin can be added to the container where the cutting stands - stimulating growth.
2. Cuttings without roots are planted and sprayed with water. After you need to cover plastic wrap and put in a low-light room for 4 days. When we remove the film, it will be necessary to water it without sparing water. After a day, rearrange in a place with normal lighting and water for another 4 days. During this time, the cutting will take root in the ground and begin to develop normally.
3. When a mature plant has enough lateral shoots and at the same time it grows in enough big pot, then it is worth applying the third breeding method. We attach the main stem of the plant to the support, and sprinkle the shoots with earth. After 5-7 days, the shoot is cut off from the main stem, then carefully dug up and transplanted for independent development.

Fragrant callisia will not only decorate the room, but also come in handy for medicinal use.

Growing a golden mustache at home is rapidly gaining popularity. First of all, this is due to the unique chemical composition of the leaves and shoots of the flower. The biologically active substances contained in them, flavonoids and phytosterols, are actively used for the preparation of ointments, tinctures and decoctions. Dosage forms based on the extract from the golden mustache help get rid of skin rashes, high blood pressure, osteochondrosis and rheumatism.

A visitor from the tropics: humble and graceful

Judging by the abundance of pots with a golden whisker on the windowsills, the plant originally existed on the territory of our country. But this is not at all the case - the birthplace of the flower is tropical forests South America... In its native spaces, a golden mustache can grow up to 3 meters high, its shoots twine around tree trunks and fill the voids of rocky crevices. At home, with proper care, the shoots hanging from the pots grow up to 1.5-2 m in length.

Important: if a flower is planted for the sake of obtaining medicinal infusions, an allergic susceptibility test should be carried out in order to avoid disappointment after using the drug.

If not ampelous cultivation is practiced, then the stems need strong support. Here distinctive features exotic plant:

• leaves are alternate, narrow, up to 30 cm long;
• the outer side of the leaf is light green, the inner side is dark green with a burgundy tint;
• thin brownish shoots (whiskers) with internodes sprout from the leaf axils;
• at the ends of internodes there are rosettes of tiny leaves;
• small flowers consist of three petals of delicate lilac or pink color.

The genus Callisia from the Kommelinov family has more than 10 species; in our country, only one of them is cultivated. Golden mustache blooms extremely rarely, only from diligent breeders, for this process he needs optimal conditions leaving. But if it bloomed ... Even a small group of blossoming flowers can fill the room with a magical aroma with sweetish notes.

What you need to know about the propagation of fragrant callis?

Once the golden whisker has finished blooming, tiny seeds can be collected and sown. But at home, bud formation is extremely rare, so this method is not common among breeders. The plant reproduces easily in the following ways:

1. Layering using an adult specimen.
2. Cuttings with rooting under the film.
3. Rosettes rooted in distilled water.

When growing a golden mustache in the greenhouse, the method of rooting long shoots is used. "Whiskers" of an adult plant are sprinkled with earth and watered abundantly. After two weeks, roots will appear on the shoot. Now you should carefully separate the rooted part of the flower and plant it in a permanent place.

Cuttings are obtained from a shoot, which is cut into pieces so that each piece contains 3-4 internodes. They are planted in a prepared soil mixture of peat and sand; with the help of a film, the containers for growing are covered and left at room temperature in a bright place. Rooting will occur in a couple of weeks.

Important: the cuttings must be watered as the soil dries, and the greenhouse must be ventilated daily and the accumulated condensate removed.

The golden mustache forms many rosettes at the ends of the shoots, which can be used for breeding at home. Healthy large rosettes with short stems root perfectly in a glass of water. The water needs to be changed periodically to avoid stem decay. After the flower has grown a powerful root system, the seedlings are transplanted for further cultivation.

Secrets of proper care

A visitor from the tropics is sensitive to lack of sunlight. If the pot with a golden whisker is in shade, you should be ready to pull out shoots. The stems and leaves will fade, and flowering is out of the question. The plant feels great on windowsills located on the east side. The south side is also suitable for a golden mustache, but you will need to shade the flower when leaving.

Humid climate historical homeland made the plant demanding high humidity air. In the morning and in the evening, you need to spray the golden mustache with soft, settled water using a spray bottle. The pot can be placed on a pallet with small pebbles and water can be poured - this way you can do without constantly wetting the stem and leaves.

Important: when carrying out weekly cleaning, do not forget about the leaves of the golden mustache. Wipe them with a damp cloth and remove accumulated dust.

Immediately after purchasing a seedling, you need to adjust the watering. Complete drying out of the earthen coma is unacceptable: a golden mustache may not recover from the stress it has endured. You can water the flower according to the following scheme:

• from mid-spring to early autumn - 3-4 times a week;
• with the onset of a cold snap - once a week.

The golden mustache likes it when the owner acidifies the water when watering. You can do this at home with a few grains. citric acid or a couple of drops of fresh lemon juice. Correct care is the weekly loosening of the soil under the plant. This must be done carefully, trying not to damage the delicate roots.

Soil and nutritional supplements

Loamy soil with slightly acidic PH values \u200b\u200bis suitable for planting a golden mustache. The soil can be found in a specialized store. A universal one will work well. And it is best to prepare the potting mix yourself by mixing the following ingredients:

1. Horse peat.
2. Deciduous humus.
3. River sand.

The soil should be light, nutritious. To prevent moisture from stagnating in the area of \u200b\u200boccurrence of the roots, 3-4 cm of any drainage material should be laid on the bottom of a wide pot. Ordinary expanded clay, eggshells or sphagnum pieces will do. Before adding sand, it should be ignited or spilled abundantly with a pink solution of potassium permanganate for disinfection.

Important: do not forget that the soil collected by yourself under the trees can be inhabited by the larvae of harmful insects, which are deadly for the roots of the golden mustache. An hourly roasting in the oven will help solve this problem.

Over time, the soil in the flowerpot is depleted and the plant slows down. The golden mustache needs regular nutritional supplements. He responds well to the introduction of organic fertilizers, but this is not always appropriate in an apartment. Therefore, the owners pamper their pets with complex feeding. The main thing is that they contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. In winter, it is not required to apply fertilizers more often than once a month, and when the golden mustache starts growing in spring, the amount of fertilizing needs to be increased to once a week.

Diseases and dangerous pests

The flower is able to signal flaws when caring for it at home. If brown spots have formed on the leaves, their tips have turned yellow and dried, it means that the owner is doing something wrong. This could be:

• excessively abundant watering, which caused root rot;
• insufficient watering;
• dry indoor air;
• poor fertilization.

Having revised the rules for caring for a golden mustache, it is necessary to find and correct the error.

Important: if the plant is grown as a medicinal plant, then high-quality care is necessary - only under such conditions, the maximum amount of biologically active substances accumulates in the leaves.

Pests are not indifferent to the medicinal plant, which willingly settle on its delicate parts. The flower began to lose its turgor, the leaves wrinkle, fall off, and the shoots have lost their elasticity? It's time to look for unexpected guests on the golden mustache. As a rule, these are:

• Thrips. Form colonies with inside leaves.
• Spider mite. Its red variety is especially rampant.

It's time to take drastic measures and go for the insecticide. Aktellik and Aktara, used for pest control, have proven themselves excellent. These drugs are systemic, the plant should be sprayed once a week for one month. Regular check-ups to detect pests are a good prophylaxis in pest control.

Golden mustache - modest and very graceful plant... It is difficult to appreciate its beauty at first sight. Moreover, he was not used to attracting attention. It grows in a corner, gratefully responds to simple care, while the owner spends a lot of time on capricious flowers from his collection.

But the benefits are colossal. Perhaps, initially the florist did not plan to use the healing properties of the plant. But how not to use them if your back hurts, and the necessary medicine is growing on the windowsill? One has only to reach out, pluck the leaf and throw it into hot water.

From the golden mustache, tinctures, ointments and other drugs are prepared. Given that caring for this crop is not at all difficult, it is highly recommended to have it in every home.

What does a golden mustache houseplant look like: photo and description

The indoor plant golden mustache belongs to the commeline family, the genus Callisium. There are 12 species in the genus that grow in the tropics of Central and South America and Mexico. In culture, only one species is best known, which is called the golden mustache.

What does a golden mustache look like in wildlife? This creeping grass up to 2 m long "crawls" along the mountain slopes and clearings, rooting in nodes. It has been cultivated in indoor floriculture for over 100 years. In the 21st century, they began to be planted in winter gardens in combination with other ornamental or medicinal plants such as palm, tea rose, lemongrass, aloe, Kalanchoe, etc.

According to the description, the indoor golden mustache is not much different from the wild one. This culture got its name from the presence of long shoots that extend from the axils of the leaves, like the "whiskers" of strawberries, and also take root. The length of these "whiskers" is up to 1 meter, they are naked, reddish-brown with long internodes and small rosettes of leaves at the ends (it is usually believed that only shoots no shorter than 9 internodes are suitable for treatment). Large, up to 30 cm, almost linear alternate leaves, covering the stem, develop only after rooting. When a sheet breaks, thin threads of rubber stretch between its parts. The stem of this plant, although long, is not able to stand upright, therefore, it needs support in the apartment.

With good home care, a golden mustache sometimes blooms. Small flowers - less than 1 centimeter in diameter - are collected in paniculate inflorescences. The flowers emerge from the axils of the leaves and are collected in paired, hanging clusters on small peduncles.

As you can see in the photo, in a houseplant with a golden mustache, each flower has three white, pink or blue petals:

Despite the fact that the inflorescences themselves are inconspicuous, they attract attention with a strong pleasant smell, similar to the smell of hyacinth.

How to grow a golden mustache and how to care for it

Growing a golden mustache at home won't be a hassle. It is necessary to create all the optimal conditions under which the plant will be comfortable. A ceramic pot with a diameter of at least thirty centimeters or a wide ceramic vase is suitable for planting.

They are grown not only in pots, but also in a greenhouse, in the country, and even under a film. To do this, you need to use lateral horizontal shoots, which are rooted on the stem in the soil. The main stem must be tied to a support, and the shoots from it are bent to the soil and soil is poured on them. Once the shoots are rooted, they are cut off for transplanting to another location.

Heated greenhouses are equipped with “climate control” or simple air conditioning systems in combination with special fountains to humidify the air in the summer heat. In addition, it is recommended to spray the entire plant with clean water - thawed from the refrigerator or freezer, but not tap water, containing chlorine, phenol and other harmful chemicals.

Proper care for a golden mustache at home provides for daily watering in the spring summer period, but without waterlogging of the soil, and in autumn and winter less often - two or three times a week. The soil in the pot must be moistened to the ground. To prevent the jet from eroding the soil, it is better to use a watering can with a fine strainer or a kettle. An hour after watering, the water must be drained from the pallet, and the pallet and the bottom of the pot must be wiped dry so that mold does not appear.

Growing and caring for a golden mustache at home

The need for watering is determined simply: if the knock on the edge of the pot is loud, then the earth is dry, if it is deaf, then the earth is wet, and the top layer of the soil, when it dries up, turns gray. Likes frequent bathing and spraying with a spray bottle. You can spray the plant in the morning and in the evening, provided that the apartment is dry warm air... Between waterings, the soil under the flower must be carefully loosened. The ideal temperature for flower growth is considered to be 25 - 27 ° C, with a recommended humidity of 50 - 60%. In winter, the temperature can be lowered slightly.

Fertilization or top dressing is necessary. You can feed the plant with liquid fertilizers after the development of its root system. In the warm season, fertilizers are applied once a week, in the cold season - once a month. To feed this home plant it is best to buy ready-made mixtures.

In the process of caring for a golden mustache at home, do not forget that the plant loves light, but does not tolerate direct sunlight, especially hot evening ones. In this case, the plant becomes discolored and curled, whiskers stop forming. After being transferred to the shade, it quickly recovers. Winter temperature should be in the range of 16-18 degrees, otherwise the plants stretch strongly, reducing the amount of active ingredients. In summer, you can take it outside in a shady place.

How to plant, transplant and propagate a golden mustache at home

How does a golden mustache multiply at home and how to transplant it correctly? The plant propagates by layering, pieces of "mustache" and ordinary cuttings. The most favorable time for breeding is March, April, but if necessary, you can reproduce all year round.

From the mother plant, you need to cut off the top of the shoot with 2 - 4 knots of joints, remove the lower leaves, shorten the upper ones by a third. Dry the cuttings for 2 - 3 hours, and then plant them in pots with a richly moistened soil mixture. Moisten the cuttings and cover plastic bag for rooting.

A rosette of leaves with a small piece of stem is cut off from a horizontal side shoot and placed in a vessel with water. Powerful root system develops within 10 to 15 days. Then the young plant is planted in a pot with an earthen mixture and watered abundantly.

Before planting a golden mustache at home, you need to drain the shell of eggs or sphagnum, adding river sand. An earthen mixture is prepared from 2 parts of sod land, 2 parts of greenhouse land, 3 parts of leafy soil and 3 parts of sand.

Young plants are transplanted annually, and adults once every two to three years. It is better to transplant in spring or autumn.

Before transplanting a golden mustache at home, the plant is preliminarily watered with a nutrient solution based on micronutrient fertilizers containing potassium, as well as nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements. In a new pot, the soil is prepared in the previously described way: small dolomite crushed stone, expanded clay, or pumice stone in combination with rock sand and wood ash are placed on the bottom.

For the soil for transplanting, plants take sod land, without weeds, from under the trees - linden, aspen, willow. In specialized stores "Gardener", "Dachnik", "Sadovy Mir", "Florist" currently sold ready-made soil mixture for the cultivation of indoor plants of any kind.

Diseases and pests - thrips and red spider mite... At the first signs of damage, the plant must be sprayed with a systemic insecticide and covered for 1 - 2 days with a plastic bag. The best preventive measures are daily spraying and maintaining the necessary air humidity.

The healing properties of the indoor plant golden mustache

Back in the 19th century, American scientists began detailed studies of the plant. Many Spanish Catholic missionaries who visited the Maya and Aztec Indians wrote about the healing properties of the golden mustache indoor plant.

American scientists have found that the juice of this plant contains a large amount of biologically active substances.

What does a golden mustache look like?

A plant belonging to the commeline family was brought to our area from Mexico. There it grew in humid, shaded tropical and subtropical places. By the way, Tradescantia and Zebrina are close relatives of Callisia.

With careful care, fragrant callis can grow more than a meter in height over the season. Its leaves are large, long (from 20 to 30 cm), wide (from 5 to 6 cm), to some extent similar to corn, so people came up with another nickname - "corn". If you break such a sheet, then you will see thin fibers stretching from the torn parts, very similar to hairs. This is where other names came from - "living hair", "venereal hair". On the vertical trunk, as it grows, bulges appear, from which shoots appear, growing rapidly. These shoots consist of "joints", there may be 12 or more of them. Such mustaches end with leaf rosettes. It is very interesting to watch their development. Under the influence of sunlight, the mustache gradually turns purple. It is then that they acquire healing properties. By the way, people also call the plant “home ginseng” for its various abilities. Callisia flowers appear on the tops of the shoots, they are small, white. They have a very delicate and pleasant aroma, similar to hyacinth or lily of the valley. But flowering at home happens very rarely. I have been growing this plant for many years, but none of my golden whiskers have flowers.

How to care for a golden mustache?

In order for more nutrients to accumulate in the golden mustache, it must be placed on the windowsill, where the light will be bright, but diffused. Give preference to east or west windows, where there is both light and partial shade. The plant is unpretentious, but needs warm conditions. For example, in the spring and summer months, the room should be between 20 and 26 ° C, and in the winter between 16 and 20 ° C. A sharp drop in temperature does not like the golden mustache. Water for irrigation should be taken soft, settled. Callisia should be fed more often in summer than in winter. The top layer has dried, which means it's time to moisten the earth. If it is very hot in the room in winter, then watering will be frequent, the plant will have to be sprayed, otherwise it will look worse in dry air, and problems with leaves will appear. If you forget to water callisia at such a time, then it may die.

AT favorable conditions surrounded by care, the golden mustache grows quite quickly, so I always put a support for it in a pot (a decorative stick or a column), and then periodically carefully tie the stem and shoots to the support. And you can leave some horizontally running shoots on the windowsill, if there is free space.

When the soil in the pot is poor in nutrients, then from April to October add a little complex to the water for irrigation weekly mineral fertilizers... I read that sometimes it is recommended to add milk to the water for irrigation (a tablespoon of milk per liter of water). I did not find any visible improvements after such dressings. My plants liked it better when they were watered with water, where shungite pebbles lay for a day or two.

Ventilate the room where you keep the golden mustache daily. In summer, it is even better to put the pots on the loggia or take them to country cottage area... And one more observation. It turns out that if you plant a golden whisker rosette in a greenhouse or greenhouse in the spring, then by autumn you will see a large plant with a large number of powerful, long, intensely colored purple shoots.

About reproduction and rejuvenation of a plant

Gradually, at the base, the shoots begin to bare, lose leaves. Do not overexpose adult plants, but use for medicinal purposes. Callisia is usually not transplanted, but rejuvenated. To do this, cut off the top or rosettes that have grown at the ends of the shoots, and put them in a container with water. They give roots very quickly. But do not rush to send them into the ground, wait another week or two, during which time the root system will develop well. It happens that a rosette on a large mustache itself stretches to the soil, and then takes root next to an adult plant. Then it can be transplanted into another container.

Are there any difficulties in growing?

Callisia usually grows very well and provides many benefits without causing a hassle. The main thing is not to forget to water it, spray it if there is dry air in the room. If ugly spots appear on the leaves, it is likely that the "home ginseng" was burned by the burning sun's rays. From the intense sun in hot weather, it must be shaded or rearranged to another place. And if the tips of large sheet plates dry, turn brown, then this is a clear sign that the climate in the apartment is too dry.

If you notice rotting of one or more of the lower leaves, then this can happen for two reasons: winter months - hypothermia occurs at night or watering is excessive.

Thrips and spider mites can harm the "living hair".

Many medicinal potions can be prepared from plant parts. Pieces of leaves (3 cm each) are useful to chew when coughing or stomach ailments. And with juice you can lubricate wounds, scratches, calluses. While in the room, the golden mustache emits phytoncides that have antiseptic properties.

Familiar from childhood, a cute plant with elongated bright green leaves that grows on the windowsills of so many home flora lovers. It turns out, in addition to their direct duties, to absorb carbon dioxide from the airspace of the apartment and to emit pure oxygen.

Chemical composition and biological properties

The scientific name of the Golden Mustache is fragrant kallesia. The plant is perennial, evergreen, growing in the form of a grass with two types of shoots. One type of shoots looks like long, sometimes up to two meters, fleshy, juicy, erect, dark green stems with a purple tint.

Elongated cone-shaped leaves up to 40 centimeters long grow on the shoots. Another type of shoot extends horizontally from the first type. These are the so-called antennae, thanks to which the golden mustache multiplies and got its unofficial name.

Flowers are small, small, emitting a delicate aroma. I must say that plants growing in pots rarely bloom, but this fact does not prevent them from actively reproducing.

Absolutely all parts of the plant contain very useful substances with healing properties and are actively used for medicinal purposes.

There is a false opinion among domestic herbalists that when 12 "knees" appear on the additional tendril shoot, then the plant reaches the maximum of medicinal substances. This, of course, is not the case, both young and adult golden mustache have the same useful properties.

The only condition is that in the fall, like many other plants, the aromatic callesia cyclically accumulates the maximum amount of nutrients in its leaves and shoots. But this is due to life cycle nature and preparing the plant for winter.

As for the chemical composition of the golden mustache itself, in it, scientists have discovered just a storehouse of the most necessary and useful substances for human health:

• saponins;
• glucosides;
• phytosterols;
• pectins;
• alkaloids;
• tannins;
• flavonoids -quercetin and kaempferol;
• phytoncides;
• macro and microelements - chromium, copper, sulfur, iron, nickel, potassium, calcium, manganese and others, B vitamins;
• catechins.

One of the most important substances in callesia is beta-sitosterol, which can help fight cancer, as well as diseases of the blood and endocrine system.

Chromium, found in leaves, affects metabolism, especially carbohydrate metabolism, and is involved in blood sugar regulation. And the lack of the required amount of chromium can lead to the development of pathology of the heart and blood vessels, and even provoke the development of diabetes mellitus.

Copper and sulfur are also essential trace elements for the body. Copper at the biochemical level ensures a normal level of hemoglobin in the blood and a harmonious metabolism. Sulfur, in turn, has a beneficial effect on the skin and hair, and can resist infectious infections and radiation exposure.

Golden mustache remarkably increases the level of natural protection, and has a general tonic effect on the body. It is noteworthy that, due to its destructive effect on the diaphoretic microflora, products prepared on its basis do not deteriorate for a long time and can be stored for a rather long time at room temperature.

Phytohormones have a beneficial effect on the epidermis and promote healing of small wounds and scratches. They can also enter into close interaction with the cells of the body and activate the enzymatic system. From this, cells divide faster and wounds heal faster, and the general condition of the skin becomes noticeably better. There is one more action of phytohormones, they stimulate protein synthesis.
