You can grow it in two ways: using seeds and by dividing the bush. Seeds are planted at the end of September or early spring. Initially, it is recommended to plant the seeds in pots and leave them on the balcony until germination. When the stem gets stronger, it can be planted in open ground.

The grass is planted in wet soil; there should be a distance of at least 30 cm between each seedling, since the flower grows well.

The plant is moisture-loving and frost-resistant, so it does not need shelter in winter; you can cover the roots with peat if necessary.

Also, the flower easily tolerates transplantation and reproduces easily.

If you follow the basic rules of agricultural technology, the cuff will not cause any problems for the gardener.

Preparation of medicinal raw materials

To use grass as medicine, you need to take a responsible approach to collecting raw materials.

Harvesting should be done during flowering; it is during this period that the flower releases the largest amount of active healing substances. Taking this factor into account, collection can begin at the beginning of June and end at the end of September.

The cuff is carefully cut to the spine with a knife, then dried in the fresh air or in a draft. If you have a drying chamber, you can dry the grass there without exceeding the temperature of 60 degrees.

After these procedures, the raw materials must be stored in paper packaging or a box.

If stored for too long, vegetable fats begin to go rancid, and the medicine will acquire a bitter taste.

So, the cuff is not only a beautiful ornamental plant, but also a very healing remedy.The main thing is to properly prepare the raw materials and prepare the decoction. Before starting treatment, you should consult a specialist.
