A plant with dark green leaves and large (up to 5 cm in diameter) bright flowers of various colors, very similar to periwinkle flowers. Catharanthus can be grown as an annual. The compact bush starts branching early, prefers a warm, sunny location protected from cold winds. An earthen mixture is prepared from equal parts of sod and leafy soil, humus, peat and sand. Seeds are sown in late winter and early spring, sprinkled with a small layer of earth. The sowing must be covered with a dark film, since the catharanthus needs complete darkness for germination. Seedlings appear in 7-10 days at a temperature of 24-27 ° C. Seedlings dive at the stage of 2 true leaves in pots. In the future, young plants are transplanted into pots or planted in the spring in open ground, when the threat of frost has passed. Flowering in catharanthus begins 4-6 months after germination. Katarantus will be a great decoration for rooms, balconies and loggias, and is also perfect for decorating flower beds, for creating low borders, as it is very drought-resistant and tolerates heat perfectly.
