Kandyk (erythronium)

Kandyk is a perennial herb that we will look at in this article. Another name for kandyk is erythronium, which belongs to the Liliaceae family, being one of its brightest and most popular representatives. This plant in natural conditions can be found in Europe, North America and South Siberia, as well as in Japan. In general, now there are a lot of plant species that are cultivated almost everywhere, due to which it is very popular among gardeners and florists.

Kandyk: general information about the plant

The name kandyk is the unofficial name of this plant. It comes from the Türkic word, which in translation into Russian means "dog's tooth". There are several types of kandyk that have been listed in the Red Book. Among them are Japanese, Caucasian, Siberian kandyks, which are generally considered endangered species, and therefore they should be very carefully protected and cultivated so that the plant does not disappear at all.

The genus Kandyk combines about 29 different species, some of which are cultivated by gardeners today. And some of them are not fully understood at all, and grows mainly only in the wild.

In this article, we will talk in more detail about the features of this plant, how to properly plant a plant in open ground and take care of it. No less interesting is information about the types and varieties of erythronium, since today there are a fairly large number of them, and we need to find out which of them are cultivated by gardeners and are of greatest interest to them.

In addition, many species and their health largely depends on what features the species have in caring activities. And they can differ significantly from each other.

So this article will be very useful not only for novice gardeners, but also for those gardeners and flower growers who already have significant experience in growing herbaceous perennials, in particular some types of kandyk, but they still want to learn about some new varieties and species in order to diversify the landings on your personal plot, make them bright, unique and completely unusual.

What is the kandyk plant?

Kandyk: description of the plant

The height of the plant is usually from ten to thirty centimeters, sometimes erythronium also grows, the height of which is about 60 centimeters. Annual bulbs are ovoid or cylindrical, slightly elongated.

At the very base of the existing peduncle there are about two petiole leaves, their shape is slightly elongated. Most often, on the surface of the leaves there is a fairly large number of specks that resemble more brown freckles. But there are also species whose leaves are of a pure dark green hue, without any spots, smears or impurities.

At the very top of the peduncle is a flower that has a drooping and rather large perianth. The flower contains six petals, which can be painted in a pure snow-white shade, yellow or purple, pink. Sometimes on the arrow there may be more than one flower, but several at once.

The flowering of the kandyk begins in the very last days of April, and can also be transferred to the first days of May.The fruit that forms after the end of flowering is an egg-shaped capsule, there are very few seeds in it, which can just be used in order to then propagate this culture.

But we will talk about reproduction a little later, since in addition to the seed method, there are several more methods for breeding the kandyk, which are also very popular and in demand among gardeners.

Choosing a site for planting

Since erythronium begins to bloom around the very first days of April, it is recommended to plant the plant in open ground in a shaded place, which is located in the northern part of the site. The plant perfectly takes root under the crowns of spreading trees and shrubs. So this point is also best taken into account, since the growth and development of this culture may depend on this in the future.

Since the kandyk bushes bloom just at the time when the deciduous cover has not yet formed on other shrubs, they may well have enough sunlight at the same time. Those species that usually bloom in the very last days of April, or at the very beginning of May, should be planted in a more sunny area.

If the gardener follows all the planting rules and does everything correctly, then even later varieties will be able to bloom a little earlier. But the early varieties are just the opposite - they will transfer their flowering to a later time, so that the gardener can, in principle, regulate the flowering, and this is great.

As for the soil mixture for planting, peaty, rather moist, but very light, slightly acidic soils are best suited for kandyk. The approximate composition of such soils is leafy earth, coarse grained sand, humus, which, in their composition, will be able to create the most suitable conditions for the growth of kandyk.

The plot should, of course, be prepared in advance. About two weeks before the plant is planted in the ground. For this, a certain amount of bone meal, potassium nitrate and crushed chalk are introduced into the soil. As for mineral fertilizers, superphosphate is ideal here - you should add 150 grams per square meter of the site.

Kandyk: reproduction

Kandyk can reproduce in two ways - either by seed or with the help of children.

But only thanks to seeds all American species and varieties of kandyk can be propagated. Moreover, today there is a huge variety of them, and not only the multi-stemmed kandyk. Seeds are harvested in June. At the same time, you should be very careful about this process. Since after the fruit pods are fully opened, their contents immediately spill out onto the top layer of the soil, and either birds can eat them, or ants and other rodents can take them into their burrows.

Experienced gardeners say that it is best to cut the boxes yourself. You don't even have to wait for them to ripen to the end right on the plant. After that, the boxes are sent for ripening. The room should be completely dry and well ventilated, then the boxes will ripen much faster and more successfully, they will not rot or disappear.

As for the planting time, both seeds and bulbs should be planted in the open ground in the very last weeks of summer, since they will have time to get used to the soil, adapt, which means they will survive the winter much more successfully.

Landing kandyk

Now it's worth talking a little about the basic rules for planting a kandyk, since this is very important. Observing the rules, you can not only make the right landings, but also get an unsurpassed result.

Before sowing kandyk, it is necessary to make grooves in the prepared soil in advance, the depth of which should be three centimeters. The distance between the grooves should be about ten centimeters if it is a group planting.Further, the seeds that have ripened to the end are laid out along the prepared grooves, while there should also be a distance of about five centimeters between the seeds. Further, the seeds are carefully sealed, after which they are very abundantly moistened.

They cover the site only when forecasters say that a very frosty winter awaits us ahead, and snow is not expected, because then the plants will have more chances to freeze rather than grow normally.

The first seedlings will begin to hatch already with the onset of spring, in the very last days of April their height can be at least four centimeters, and if this is the case, then this will indicate that the gardener followed all the rules in planting, and therefore did he's all right.

If the seedlings have not yet managed to grow to such a size, then this means that they lack nutritional components, and also lack moisture to give abundant growth of green mass. At the end of the very first growing season, the diameter of the bulbs should be about four centimeters, but at the end of the second season, they should already grow to seven centimeters.

During the third season of the growth of the kandyk, the shape of the bulbs becomes closer to cylindrical, after which they are deepened into the ground to a depth of ten centimeters, the bulbs will be eight centimeters across. For the first time, bushes that grew from seeds will bloom in the fourth or fifth year after the seedlings have appeared.

So it is worth, of course, be patient, since the plant really needs to gradually gain strength and increase its mass also gradually. You should not interfere too much with the growth and development of the plant, as this can turn out to be the opposite with negative consequences for planting, and sometimes the plant, on the contrary, may not give absolutely any growth just because the gardener decided to accelerate the growth and development of the planting.

Seeds can also be sown in the spring, but they must first be stratify... To do this, the seeds are placed on a refrigerator shelf for about three months, which was originally intended for storing vegetables. But they are also poured into plastic or plastic bags, which are filled with a moistened substrate - sand or peat. Then the gardener looks at which seeds were able to hatch, and which seeds turned out to be lifeless, which means they should be disposed of, since they will not germinate in the open field either.

As we said a little above, kandyk can also be grow with bulbous material... Moreover, each variety and type of kandyk has its own characteristics, which just relate to how they can be propagated by the vegetative method.

Bulbs of American species should be buried in the soil to a considerable depth - up to twenty centimeters, a distance of fifteen centimeters remains between plantings. If we are dealing with Asian and European species of kandyk, then they are deepened by about ten centimeters, and the distance between plantings is the same - fifteen centimeters, no less.

When the bulbs are finally sent into the open ground, the area is covered with a layer of mulch, and then quite abundant watering is carried out. Mulch consists of organic components - compost or humus, peat, sawdust or straw - everything that a gardener has at hand and what he can use to mulch the soil.

Plant care

However, growing a kandyk on your site is not such a difficult task. Culture doesn't need too much watering... If the gardener also wants to weed the plantings less often, then the soil surface is sufficient to promulgate, as mulch helps to protect plants from overgrown weeds.Also, mulch allows you to slow down the process of evaporation of moisture from the soil, and, in principle, it protects the soil from freezing or excessive overheating. So don't underestimate the value of mulch.

The intensive growth of this crop begins in early spring. At this time, right after the last snow has melted, the ground contains an abundant amount of melt water. In this regard, the kandyk can not be watered until May. And then, if there are rainy days in the spring, then in May you can not water the plant, it will cope with it.

After the bushes are abundantly moistened, and also after the rain has passed, the soil surface in the trunk circle should periodically loosen... In this case, the weed must be removed. Since there is a high risk that disease may develop due to weeds, or weeds will attract pests and bacteria to the site.

In the very first year after the plant has been planted in open ground, it can be feed... Kandyk will have enough of those substances and microelements that have already been introduced into the soil just before the sowing of the planting material.

As for the subsequent seasons, it will be enough to add mulch to the top layer. This can be deciduous humus or peat, which are great for mulching the topsoil. Also, for further feeding the culture, you can use mineral nutrient mixtures and fertilizers, which are just intended for ornamental flowering crops.

So it is best to treat feeding with great responsibility, because if you choose the wrong mixtures and components, then this can lead to the fact that the plant will receive damage rather than any benefit.

How to transplant a kandyk

Transplanting is another significant procedure that is very important in caring for plants. In about four years, or already in five years, with growth and development in the same place, the plant becomes more like a nest than a decorative planting. And therefore, the kandyk needs to be transplanted to another place.

When a bush is transplanted, it can also be propagated by dividing the arms. The transplant is usually carried out either in July and in August, since it is at this time that the plant enters a state of dormancy, and it will most easily transfer the transplant to a new site. By the time the transplant is started, the leaves should turn yellow, and the bulbs should have time to completely restore all the forces that were originally spent on an equally important process - flowering.

Children that have been separated from the bulbs removed from the ground should be planted in the grooves that were prepared by the gardener in advance. Disembarkation is carried out in exactly the same way that we have already described a little above, the order of the procedure and its subtleties are identical.

At the same time, do not forget that the places of cuts and fractures are treated with coal powder, because this will help protect the fractures from bacteria. It should also be borne in mind that the bulbs cannot be outdoors for a long time, since there is a high risk that they will dry out very quickly, which means they cannot be a worthy and full-fledged material for the propagation of kandyk.

If, nevertheless, the bulbs should be stored for some time, then for this it is worth taking a box filled with sphagnum, previously moistened with settled water at room temperature. Instead of sphagnum, you can use moistened peat or sand, into which these bulbs actually dig. We have also already talked about all the features of seed reproduction, we see no point in repeating.

How resistant the kandyk is to frost, pests and diseases

Erythronium lemon yellow: Photo

Kandyk is a very frost-resistant plant. For this reason, if the kandyk grows in a garden, then it can perfectly tolerate wintering in open conditions.But if the winter is going to be very frosty, but at the same time practically without snow, then the kandyk should be covered.

For this, the site is covered with a thick layer of spruce branches. And also for protection, you can use dried grass, which is also perfect for these purposes, since it is able to retain heat. It will be possible to remove the shelter only at the very beginning of spring, when the snow cover melts and the soil begins to gradually warm up.

Kandyk is a culture that also has a high level of disease resistance. If we talk about pests, then the greatest danger to the kandyk is moles and mice, as well as bears.

Gardeners who have experience in growing kandyk say that kandyk is best planted in different places located on the garden plot. This measure will prevent the death of all specimens. Some of them will definitely be safe, and this is really very important.

In order to get rid of pests that have nevertheless entered the site, some traps should be installed on it. For example, to catch a bear, you can make a hole in the area into which fresh manure is poured. It is in it that the bears are very fond of both hiding themselves and hiding their eggs. From above, these pits with manure are covered with either slate or a board. After a while, you can check the bait, and if a bear was caught in it, then it is destroyed along with the installed bait.

You can get rid of rodents only with the help of poison, since in other ways some pests are quite difficult to catch.

Types and varieties of kandyk with characteristics

Of course, as we said, there are several types and varieties of erythronium that are cultivated among gardeners today. We will tell you about the brightest and most popular ones, as they should be understandable to gardeners, especially those who do not yet have experience in growing this crop.

Erythronium american

In natural conditions, this species is most often found in warm and temperate zones, as well as in the subtropics. In particular, it takes root well in the eastern and central regions of the United States of America and Canada. Often American erythroniums can be seen in mountainous areas, at an altitude of almost one and a half thousand meters above sea level, where plants feel great and demonstrate excellent indicators of their growth and development.

Erythronium American: Photo

The bulbs are ovoid, the length of the leaves can be about twenty centimeters, and their width is usually about five centimeters. The surface of the lanceolate leaves is simply strewn with brown freckles.

The height of the peduncle itself is no more than thirty centimeters, the leaves in the perianths are painted in a very rich yellow hue, and sometimes you can find varieties where the color gives off purple, which looks even more attractive and incredibly fresh. So American kandyks are very popular not only abroad, but also in our country, and they are completely unpretentious, if we talk directly about leaving measures.

Erythronium whitish

The second kind, which we will consider in this article. In more natural, natural conditions, this species is most often found in the central regions of Canada, as well as in the central regions of the United States. Outwardly, this type of erythronium is very similar to the American type of erythronium.

Erythronium whitish: Photo

Lobes are absent at the base of the leaves. Their color can be purple or delicate pink, there are also white and blue colors, and the plant itself looks incredibly elegant. In general, the plant can grow in different regions of our country. It is unpretentious, the result of its growth and development can amaze the imagination with its beauty and attractiveness.And the gardeners themselves say that they really like to grow kandyk precisely because of its positive characteristics in this regard.

Multi-stem erythronium

Most often, this species can be found on wet rocks, as well as in light, illuminated woodlands. In addition, this species of kandyk grows well in the warm temperate zones of the southwestern part of the United States. At the very base of the oblong bulb, the so-called stolons are formed.

Erythronium multi-stem: Photo

On the very surface of the leaves, there are a large number of very decorative spots. On long peduncles, yellow and cream flowers are placed, which can also have a rather bright base - it is orange. In the process of wilting, the flowers become quite differently colored - their yellow color changes to pink. On the peduncle itself, from one to three flowers can grow, no more.

Erythronium Henderson

The homeland of this species is light forests, as well as fairly dry meadows located in Oregon. This species of kandyk came to Europe around the end of the 19th century. The bulb has an oblong shape, the rhizome is very short, it should be handled as carefully as possible.

Erythronium Henderson: Photo

On the leaves, you can see decorative specks, which are painted in a brown tint. Shoot height varies from ten to thirty centimeters. The shoot grows from one to three flowers, which have a pale purple color.

The base of the flowers is almost black; in such a contrast, it all looks incredibly attractive. The stamens are purple in color, but the anthers are deep brown. Taken together, it all looks just wonderful and incredibly decorative.

Erythronium mountain

Under natural conditions, this species of kandyk can be found in the northwest of the United States of America, while it fits perfectly into the setting and conditions of alpine meadows. The bulb is very narrow, oblong, the height of the stem is almost half a meter, oblong leaves are located on the petioles. They have an ovoid shape, and towards the base they can taper very sharply, which also looks quite attractive and decorative.

On the arrow, from one to several flowers grow, which are painted either in a pale pink shade or in a snow-white color. At the same time, the very bases of the leaves of the bracts are painted in a bright orange hue, which contrasts quite well with the general picture and looks incredibly decorative at the same time.

This type is also very popular among gardeners and florists, as well as among landscape designers, because they choose this plant to decorate their plots, flower beds, and in general to decorate beautiful landscapes, alpine slides and rockeries.

Kandyk lemon yellow

This species is most commonly found in the warm, temperate zone of the western United States. Also, often lemon-yellow kandyks grow in mountain forests, where they feel absolutely great.

Erythronium lemon yellow: Photo

The leaves are wide, lanceolate, obtuse, specks can be seen on their surface, and the leaves themselves have rather short roots. The apex of the plates is short and slightly pointed. The stem height is between ten and twenty centimeters. It can usually grow up to nine flowers, which are colored lemon-yellow.

The leaves have an orange base, and it all looks very nice and decorative. At the same time, the perianth leaves are also bent rather strongly, so that it also looks quite interesting and attractive. As the flowers wilt, the tips may also turn slightly pink.

Erythronium california

This species of kandyk is found in nature in well-lit places, in forests, especially in California. The leaf blades are very obtuse, have an oblong, ovoid shape, brown spots are located on the leaves, very similar to freckles, the leaves themselves reach ten centimeters in length.

Erythronium california: Photo

The height of the stem is about forty centimeters, up to several flowers can form on it, which are painted in two colors - white and yellow-cream, an incredibly attractive color.

Some hybrids are the most popular among all varieties of this species. We will highlight such as:

• white beauty - the flowers are large enough, have a snowy, white very pure color, in the middle of the flower there is a ringlet, which is painted in a dark brown color. The leaves are wrapped right at the perianth, in shape they are very reminiscent of a Chinese pagoda, rather than any other flowers. One way or another, but it looks quite attractive;
• harvington snowgood - the flowers are also very large. At the same time, the leaves in the perianth are colored lemon-yellow, the base is also very bright. The flowers stand out perfectly against the background of all other plantings. They are very decorative, attract attention, look great both in a group and in a single planting.

Erythronium large

In natural conditions, this species is most often found in the steppes of the United States of America, as well as in Canada. Moreover, most often this kandyk is found on mountain slopes, as well as in forests.

Erythronium large: Photo

Leaves are oblong, which rather smoothly turn into a petiole. The stem height can vary from thirty centimeters to sixty, the bulb is on a rather short rhizome, so it should be handled very carefully and be careful. The length of the leaves is no more than twenty centimeters, they are painted in a solid pure green color.

On the stem, from one to six flowers can grow, while the leaves in the perianth itself are colored yellow, sometimes with a golden tint. Their base is pale, but one way or another, in general, the plant looks very attractive and decorative.

This species also has several varieties that are quite attractive and, at the same time, completely unpretentious. These varieties include the following:

• large-flowered white variety. Accordingly, the flowers are snowy, ideally white;
• large-flowered golden - based on the name, the flowers are very large, painted in a yellow noble shade;

• large-flowered pale - this variety has white anthers;
• beyanka - the color of the flowers is clean, white, very pleasant;
• rubens - in this variety, the flowers are painted in a pink-red hue, which also looks incredibly attractive and elegant. At the same time, the flowers look great in inflorescences and in a single planting.

Erythronium oregonum

In nature, this species is found in the subtropical zone. The height of the stem reaches forty centimeters, the leaves are spotty, oblong, they can noticeably narrow towards the petiole. The leaves have a white creamy color, while they are rather tightly wrapped, at the base they can be painted in a brighter yellow hue, which turns into a more purple color in the gradient.

Erythronium oregonum: Photo

The color of the anthers themselves is white, the species differs from all other plant species in that it is incredibly pretentious to moisture.

There are several forms of this particular type at once, which are very popular, and we will now characterize them a little:

• wrapped white-flowered variety. The flowers of the plant are very bright, white, you can see a slightly greenish tint on them. At the same time, the bases of the perianths are colored brown, which also looks rather unusual and attractive;
• wrapped by Johnson - flowers are painted in a dark pink shade. On the leaves, you can see brown spots, which also look very good, fresh, unusual and as single plantings, and as plantings in a group with other flowers;
• wrapped early - flowers of white, cream color, their base is bright orange. On the leaves of the green color, you can see many specks that have a shade of mahogany. Basically, this variety is also very attractive and interesting. It is worth paying special attention to it, because this plant is really very popular.

Erythronium tuolumnian

Under natural conditions, this species of kandyk can be found in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, where it looks very contrasting and unusual, and at the same time very harmonious.

Erythronium Tuolumni: Photo

The height of the bush varies from thirty to forty centimeters. The leaves are long-stemmed, painted in a uniform green color, while they have a lanceolate shape, reaching about thirty centimeters in length. On the stem, up to several flowers can be located, which are painted in a yellow-golden hue, the base of the flowers is also yellowish-green.

Among the most popular varieties of this type are the following:

• pagoda - flowers are painted in a bright, yellow lemon shade
• congo Is a hybrid variety that was created using an inverted kandyk and a kandyk of the type Tuolumni. The flowers can be painted in a grayish-yellow hue, there is a ringlet painted in brown on the inside. On the surface of the leaves, you can also notice streaks that will have a brown or red color, they are very contrasting, due to which the plant looks very attractive and decorative.

Erythronium siberian

In more wild conditions, this plant can most often be found either in southern Siberia, or even in Mongolia. At the same time, it grows well on the edges of coniferous or mixed forests, where they belong, and there they can be saturated with all the necessary substances in order to be as strong and bright as possible.

Erythronium siberian: Photo

The bulbs are egg-shaped, very fragile, shaped like a dog's canine, and must be handled very carefully as they are very easy to damage. The stem in height can be from 12 to 35 centimeters, on it there are plastics of elongated leaves, which have a characteristic marble color of a brown-red hue, which also attracts the attention of gardeners.

The flower at the top turns out to be rather drooping, in diameter it reaches eight centimeters, the leaves at the perianth are bent slightly to the side. Flowers are painted in a lilac or pink shade, there are varieties and varieties that are painted white.

There are also varieties in which the leaves are colored brown, and on them you can also see a very thin greenish edging, but after a while this pattern completely disappears.

Erythronium Caucasian

This species, based on the name, came to us from the Western Transcaucasia. There it is most often found in mountain forests.

Erythronium Caucasian: Photo

The shape of the bulb is ovoid, oblong, fragile, so you should be careful and careful when working with this material. On the oblong leaves, you can also see specks, which makes them not monochromatic, but brighter and more attractive.

This species differs in that it practically does not tolerate frost and temperature changes in any way, therefore in winter it is recommended to cover the bushes with insulation and other materials so that they can calmly endure this time.

Erythronium european

The flower grows well among shrubs, as well as mountain deciduous forests. The color and shape of the bulbs is more like a dog's canine. At the same time, the bulbs themselves are incredibly fragile, so you should be very careful about how to handle this planting material, so as not to harm the plantings.

Erythronium european: Photo

The stem has a pale pink color, its height is from ten to thirty centimeters. The leaves are very wide, growing at the very base of the stem. There is only one drooping flower on the stem, which can be colored purple or pink. Less often, you can find white flowers from the same genus.

The species differs in that it is sufficiently resistant to severe frosts, and in general it is quite decorative. It has been cultivated since 1570, and since then many varieties have been bred. The most popular varieties of erythronium are:

• charmer - the variety was bred in 1960, at the base of the flower itself there is a very large speck, painted in dark brown. The peri-color is lavender, there are brown markings on the surface of the leaves, which add even more decorative and attractiveness to the plant;
• france halls - the perianth is painted on the outside in a single-color purple, but inside you can see greenish-bronze spots, due to which the plant seems so decorative and very unusual. In the center, the flower is bright, yellow-green;
• Lyclair Wonder - this flower is painted in a bright purple color, at the base on the inner surface you can see a dark brown ring. But on the outside, the ring is painted in a brown shade, which also distinguishes this flower from all the others;
• pink perfection - this is an early variety, which is distinguished by an incredibly bright and rich perianth, which stands out against the background of all other flowers;
• snowflake - the flowers have an absolutely perfect white color, they look very romantic;
• rose queen - this variety can be found much less often than all other varieties. It looks very impressive and attractive, and the flowers are pink, which just follows from the name of this plant.

There are also Japanese erythronium, hybrid erythronium, which also have their own characteristic features and characteristics, their characteristics are absolutely unique. They differ from each other by excellent external characteristics and, at the same time, by their practically unpretentious disposition.

The European kandyk has some varieties that are incredibly in demand in horticulture today, as they are truly unique and unusual. Among these varieties, we highlight such as:

• white king (the flowers are painted in a snowy, white shade, and in the very middle there is a bright lemon admixture, the leaves are painted in a rich green color),
• scarlet (the flowers have a rich crimson color, inside you can see a white ring. In the center, the flowers are also painted in a white yellowish tint),
• white Fang - the flowers are white, and their middle is painted in a pale yellow hue, which looks incredibly delicate and attractive, so it is simply impossible to ignore this variety.
• harmony - another variety, which is distinguished by very large flowers - they are about eight centimeters across. The leaves are white, closer to the base they turn pink, and their central part has a yellowish tint,
• Olga - on the surface of pink or lilac flowers, you can see many dots, which are painted in a dark pink color.

Kandyk: positive qualities and useful properties

Kandyk is distinguished by some of its positive and useful properties. For example, this is a melliferous type of plant, the composition of the nectar contains substances such as glucose and some useful enzymes, vitamin E, fructose and acids, which are incredibly useful for the human body, and which sometimes it simply needs.

Honey can be obtained from the plant, which differs in that a very delicate aroma emanates from it, and this honey also has many beneficial properties. It can be used to treat viruses, fever, or cough. And this honey is also able to lower the temperature of the human body. In cosmetology, this honey is also very widely used, therefore, in general, kandyks are considered quite versatile plants, and should not be ignored.

If we talk about alternative medicine, then kandyk bulbs are especially popular here. They contain higher alcohols and antispasmodics, which can disinfect wounds and reduce pain if a person experiences them.

Also, thanks to the fresh kandyk bulbs, you can relieve spasms and muscle cramps, and sometimes these components are incredibly effective even in case of a person's epileptic seizure.

The leaves can also be used for medicinal purposes, as they have a tonic effect and are able to prevent active aging of the human body. To a particular extent, kandyk leaves are popular with men, as they have a positive effect on their potency.

But it is worth remembering that pollen can cause an allergic reaction, and any natural remedy should be used very carefully and carefully. After all, if the dose is calculated incorrectly, then this can lead to an absolutely opposite effect from these substances and plants.

Before using these plants, you must consult a doctor in advance, and only then use the kandyk yourself.
