The lemongrass

regions:

The home of the lemon grass is in South and Southeast Asia. Today it is cultivated in the tropics and subtropics.

Growth:

The lemon grass is a horst-forming and perennial grass. A Horst can reach up to 2 meters in diameter. There reed-like forms, light to dark green leaves with up to one meter in length. The leaves are upright and drooping at the ends. The flowers appear in many-flowered spikes, although rarely flowers are formed.

The picture shows the development of a vegetatively propagated lemon grass over a period of 3 years. In the 2nd year it starts on the right side to kick on. In the 3rd year already know it to three branches.

location:

summer	A full sun says to the plant. From the Ice Saints to stay in the autumn of the outdoors is well tolerated.
Winter	lemongrass can not overwinter outdoors in us. The overwintering in a bright, warm place at room temperature or slightly below is tolerated. Normally it should be as moist and sunny, with moderate humidity will tolerate.

cultivation / propagation:

The lemon grass blooms in very rare cases, thus hardly be harvestable seeds and reproduce vegetatively through division of the rootstock or the aboveground plant parts. To plant one comes to us most easily in Nurseries or fresh lemon grass, which you can always buy in supermarkets and even then rooted. Purchased parts of plants can be set for rooting in water and then later put in the ground.

drives down the left and right, the plant from new. Where in the kitchen required, the average drive to be harvested. The substrate can

:

substrate one regular potting soil with some sand mix. The pH value should rather be slightly acidic.

Parts 1 and 3 can be used in the kitchen. Part 2 can again be planted (see following pictures).

casting:

best always pour strong, then let dry. Short dry periods are tolerated. However, be careful to avoid prolonged waterlogging.

fertilizing:

Small fertilizer over the summer are sufficient. You can rely on both organic and inorganic fertilizers.

The top picture shows the remains of harvest. To plant again in this part of the earth, he drives a short time later of (green arrows). The blue arrow shows that place where the roots grow into the soil and anchor the plant.

fruiting / harvesting:

find use in lemon grass leaves, which are harvested in the green state of the plant. The remaining parts of the plant can remain in the ground and continue to grow.

fruit use:

The leaves are mainly used in Southeast Asian cuisine as a spice used. They are particularly suitable for seafood, fish and poultry. Best use the leaves when they are fresh, as they lose flavor in the dried state clearly. If one has no lemon on hand, it can be substituted by lemon balm. Also for spice blends, teas and refreshing drinks can be used lemongrass. Main component of the essential oil in lemongrass is citral, which is primarily responsible for the lemon-like odor. The oil is also used in the perfume and cosmetic industries. Further be attributed to the oil antibacterial and medicinal properties. cut

fresh flavor is best. Combinations of lemongrass us taste fish thrive.

warning:

little careful with the leaves, since one cuts can draw.

If you hold open with well-stocked garden centers and at street markets, the eye is to be soon found, where it can buy a lemon grass plants.

genus Info:

The genus includes about 50 species, which are located mainly in South and Southeast Asia. The economically most important representative is C. citratus . The species name is derived from citratus lemon scent from the plant.

If necessary, pull in front of a rather dark, but cool cellar. to be careful to pour out only a little, but the bales dry out. After the Ice Saints can then be moved into the open. Get used to it slowly the plant to sunlight.

ripening fruit, bud and just just flowers on one plant is fertilized with the lemon normal.

makes especially nice, the lemon in terracotta.

cultivation / propagation:

seeds: When planting from seed, you always use fresh seeds from ripe fruits! Before the seeds into the earth, you can give it a few days in the refrigerator. Ideally, you should use a propagator. The seeds are lightly covered with compost and then placed in a warm place. Germination takes about 30 days.

cuttings: cuttings it is best to just under under a bud off and pay attention to a length of about 20cm. They should have no fruit or flowers. With Bewurzelungshormonen you can try to increase your success rate. Ideal is a site of warm, but it is shady. Provide additional high humidity means übergestülptem plastic bag. In most cases, not all the cuttings are rooted. Often it can take several months to push through it, but as long as they're green, you should not give up hope.

lemons are usually grafted on a support. But contrary to the often widespread message may also carry plant seeds from fruits. This takes a couple of years, but a great experience see if you can, as is a core a fruit-bearing plant.

substrate:

The soil must be rich in nutrients and permeable. Use a mixture of humus (1 / 2), lime-free sand (1 / 4) and peat (1 / 4). Humus provides nutrients. The sand for the good oxygen supply to the roots and the discharge of excess Water. The peat provides a low pH of the soil (acid). In addition, a drainage layer at the bottom to carry off excess water. Do you want the substrate does not try to mix it, you get in garden retailing ready-mixed soil specifically for citrus plants.

casting:

During the growing phase is important to ensure ample irrigation, because the harvest is usually only lean. Leave the root ball but always dry, so there is only a slight moisture, or rot from the roots. Be But careful, because if it gets too dry, the plant throws off the fruit. Because lemon lime may not necessarily best pour with rain water.

Not only the fruits are to be considered great, and the fragrance of flowers is an experience.

fertilizing:

to start, since the lemon plenty of fruit, it needs many nutrients, which must be performed by means of fertilizer. In the growth phase may be to fertilize 2 times a week. The end of August then you should stop fertilizing. Use organic fertilizer, because salt is not satisfied with the lemon.

fruiting / Harvest: The fruit of the lemon

is an oval, bright yellow berries. The shell contains a lot of oil cells. The shape can vary from variety to variety, but all pointed at the end clearly. The flesh is very sour.

the vanilla

regions:

is originally vanilla from Central America (Mexico to Panama). From 19 Century cuttings were taken to other parts of the tropics. get

for the coveted pods are the flowers of Hand-pollinated.

Growth:

It is a climber, amphoteric orchid. That is, they grow up to support plant and holds it there with adventitious roots. The vanilla orchid is the only one that finds use as a crop. You can be up to 10m in length. If it is used economically, but they are kept small in order to reach all parts of the plant. The oval are fleshy leaves up to 20cm long, succulent. The green to yellow flowers develop from buds that grow from the leaf axes. Per inflorescence usually only one flower is open. The flowers open in the morning for several hours. They are pollinated by hummingbirds in Central America and insects. In other areas, are very popular, they must be pollinated by hand, otherwise no fruit formed.

Manually pollination:
pierce Using a stick, a pin or similar to the hymen of the flower. It lies between the male pollen and female stigma package. Then press each other pollen and stigmas. Pollination you should clock leader between 6 und 12 clock, then you get the best results.

location:

summer

As in nature needs us too vanilla for something where they can grow up. It offers itself to the use of a vertical branch or trunk that is miteingegraben into the earth. You can also use a plastic pipe or the like and wrap it with coconut fibers. In her home growing vanilla in sheltered, partially shaded, humid locations. Consequently she feels at ease in a warm house. You like it when it daily with warm Water is sprayed. In the summer you say, for slight shading to high temperatures.

Winter

in winter can drop the temperature to about 15 ° C. However, it is a dry root ball must be ensured. Entertainment room are not ideal for the vanilla, as the humidity should be 75% or more. Such high humidity is not achieved, especially in winter.

A good location for the vanilla is a bright window with no direct sunlight.

The fruit of the vanilla are rather inconspicuous and are often not perceived.

cultivation / propagation:

Maybe you can get a vanilla orchid plant in a nursery. The fruits do contain numerous dust-like seeds, which can not be used for cultivation. Therefore, the Vanilla is propagated by cuttings, which are relatively hard to get. Most suitable head cuttings that are removed in a length of 30-40cm. About half of them (leaves removed) is placed in the earth. The upper part is attached to a climbing aid. After the casting is placed over the whole a film cover, hold up to the humidity. Place the planter in a shady but bright spot at a temperature of about 25 ° C.

buds of vanilla, right opens the first flower.

substrate:

The roots need loose, richly aerated substrate. the fleshy roots are not receiving enough oxygen, die it off. It's easiest if you get in the shop a seed material for orchids. It is a friable, well lüftdurchlässiges material.

casting:

Pour the vanilla never with cold water. Always use rain water or softened water. Make sure that there is no waterlogging. Wait until the substrate always dry before watering again. Especially in winter, watering sparingly.

Vanilla is a climbing plant belonging to the family of the Orchid Family.

If possible can you put the vanilla in the house a branch available. As the natural habitat they use it as a climbing frame.

fertilizing:

In summer you can be fertilized once a month. Do not use mineral fertilizer, otherwise the accumulation of salts in the soil is. Most suitable orchid fertilizer from your local dealers.

fruiting / harvesting:

is at the fruit it is up to 35cm long capsules. Often they are referred to as pods, but this is incorrect from a botanical perspective. From pollination to maturity of the fruit, it takes about 5-9 months. Flowers and fruits are therefore to be expected from us after a minimum of 3 years. It is important to get the right harvest time. Harvest too early is not the full flavor to expect and the durability is limited. It must, however, before maturity, before the yellow fruits split open, and be harvested.

Ripening fruit, greenhouse (Austria)

fruit use: The fruit

consists of approximately 35% water, 25% sugar, 15-25% cellulose, 15% fats, 5% minerals, 1-3% vanillin and low quantities of many other substances. The vanillin is mainly responsible for the aroma, but also other substances contribute to the unique taste / smell.

The vanillin is bound to the harvest of glucose. It is Vanillosid (a glucoside). The fruits have therefore at this stage, no vanilla flavor. By a fairly expensive treatment you get the desired flavor.

step 1 "killing": dipping the fruit in hot water (65-70 ° C) for 2 to 3 minutes, "kill" the fruit, and forestall the spread of vegetative processes.

Step 2 "fermentation" let ferment for 1-2 weeks in moist, warm environment. This effect can, for example, by wrapping in wet towels and place on a warm heating. The fruits are beginning to brown and shrivel, thereby to form the glucoside is split by vanillin. The formation of vanillin is visible through the formation of white crystals.

Step 3 "drying" Now the fruits are dried in the shade, which can take 2-3 months. You can also do this slowly and carefully carried out in the oven or on the heating (45-50 ° C). But even in the oven, it takes a long time.

Step 4 "storage" After drying, the vanilla or stored for about 3 months, meaning it develops its final flavor.

Because of the manual pollination and the long manufacturing process is the vanilla one of the most expensive spices. It is mainly in the food industry used as a flavoring, but also it is used for perfume. Synthetically produced vanillin smell but very similar to the vanilla capsule, but lacks many of the accompanying substances of the fruit. This allows the artificially produced vanillin does not replace the fruit in many areas.

genus Info:

The genus Vanilla comprises about 100 species. Vanilla planifolia is also called spice or real vanilla. Other species whose flavor but markedly from that of V. panifolia distinguishes are:

Vanilla pompona	called Guadeloupe vanilla or Antilles. (West Indies)
Vanilla tahitensis	Probably a hybrid between V. planifolia and V. pompona is. (Tahiti)
Vanilla babelata
Vanilla roscheri
