The main feature of the bokarnea is a powerful, treelike and thickened trunk at the base in the form of a huge bulb.

Watering is of particular importance in caring for a sidecar.

Top dressing is carried out from May to October, once every two weeks, alternating organic and mineral fertilizers.

For germination of seeds, a mixture consisting of greenhouse or leaf humus, sod land and river sand (1: 1: 1/2) is used. At a soil temperature of 20-30 ° C, seeds germinate for 4-5 weeks. The seeds meet the requirements of international standards and GOST RF 12420-81.
