In March, we divide the rhizomes of the garden bead – general canes. The rhizomes taken out after winter storage are cleaned and divided like this, that each part has at least one well-developed bud. The place of the cut can be sprinkled with pulverized charcoal, np. from burnt matches, and leave it on 2-3 days in the air, let the wounds dry. Then each piece of the rhizome is planted individually, horizontally into a pot filled with fertile, humus soil (it can be e.g.. garden soil mixed with well-decomposed cattle manure). The rhizomes should be covered 2-3 cm layer of soil and water profusely. In bright rooms at a temperature of 18 ° C, large decorative leaves quickly develop from buds. After the spring frosts have subsided and the plants are hardened, we plant them on flowerbeds and beds with a spacing of 40x40cm or more. (depending on the variety).
