Indian onion

Poultry plant is one of the valuable plants that is often used for medicinal purposes. Its other name is Indian onion. The plant is usually grown at home, although during warm periods it can be taken out into the garden. Indian onion is used as a remedy for bruises, abscesses, wounds, and even for the treatment of acute respiratory infections. All this is due to the effect of the juice, which causes blood flow to the site of application and thereby dulls the feeling of pain.

It is worth considering that Indian medicinal onions will begin to bloom only in the second year after planting. The peduncle is about 50 cm long and covered with small flowers along its entire length. Flowering occurs in winter, so the plant needs pollination, which the owner will have to carry out independently.

The biological cycle of the poultry plant can be adjusted so that it begins to bloom in April or May. Thus, the flowering of spring plants will delight you not only in the garden, but also at home.
