Straw flower cultivation report

A funky flower with a fun gap between wild growth and pretty flowers!

Hi. I’m Nena, a fairy of Helichrysum and Emperor shellwork. Helichrysum, which blooms cute toy-like flowers like shellwork sold at seaside souvenir shops, grows wild and powerful, which you can’t imagine from the cuteness of the flowers. Its power is comparable to weeds. Watch the growth of Helichrysum, which blooms funky flowers in less than three months in the sun and water!

Straw flower “almost Weekly” cultivation report

3/14start
Seed planting
Nena
Straw flower seeds are like chocolate chips on cakes and donuts. It’s a light and tiny seed that seems to fly if you blow it.
3/20
Germination!
Nena
I’ve been rising up with chocolate chip seeds on the head. It looks like headbanging hard
3/28
The first leaf!
Nena
It’s a very easy-to-understand leaf that looks like a picture, right?
4/4
Ground planting
Nena
As it grows steadily, I will plant the leaves in the ground. When exposed to direct sunlight, the growth speed is even faster. I got tanned and the green of the leaves became a nice deep color.
4/11
The true leaves are out!
Nena
Funky tongue-like leaves came out one after another
4/18
True leaves start to grow
Nena
It started to grow at a tremendous speed. The true leaves are vertically long leaves, right?
4/25
The true leaves begin to bend
Nena
This is not the true value of a straw flower, but it has a characteristic pliable leaf. Well, to be clear, it looks like weeds.
5/2
Vivid green fills the ground
Nena
This texture is unique to straw flowers. It’s dense and thick, anyway, it’s dense.
5/9
Dense and overgrown
Nena
I wonder how much more nutrients are stored in the leaves than necessary, such as the type of girl who always says “Wow! Hair is a lot!” Every time I go to a beauty salon.
5/16
Length begins to grow
Nena
It’s so dense that it’s hard to understand, but there’s a change in the stems inside these crispy leaves! It’s getting thicker and starting to grow in length. I don’t know because it’s dense …
5/23
Preparing the buds?
Nena
There are some delicate movements that are a little different from the wild growth of the past.
5/30
There are buds!
Nena
Pop Pop Pop! As I heard in the revelation about what the straw flowers are, the buds have been created all at once. And it’s funky that the bud itself already has various colorings. Look forward to what kind of flowers will bloom!
6/6
Petals that begin to open slowly
Nena
I wondered if it would open all at once, but in fact, the straw flower is at her own pace from here. It will show you one or two petals at a super slow pace a day.
6/13
The petals that overlap in layers open, giving it a “like” feel!
Nena
A lot of flowers have opened! The number of petals is increasing and the flowers are getting bigger. The interesting thing about straw flowers is that the shape and size of the flowers change steadily as they bloom.
6/20
Flowering!
Nena
This is almost completed! It is a straw flower that looks like fireworks, showing various flower appearances by the time the flower is completed. What a colorful color
Nena
Is it the same flower? As many colors and shapes as you think it will bloom. It ’s like a toy, is n’t it?
Nena
Something like this that you saw somewhere. This is also a straw flower
Nena
This is like the sun
Nena
Oh! And this! Helichrysum’s natural enemy is an ant. Perhaps because the flowering is slow and the thickness is good, once it is targeted, it will be eaten up. Complete measures against ants!
6/27
Perfect (?) Flower completed
Nena
The interesting part of straw flower flowers is that the thickness and number of petals change steadily as they bloom. The interesting part of Helichrysum flowers is that the thickness and number of petals change steadily. This is really “double-flowered”. It’s amazing because 8 sheets are in bloom!
7/4
Full bloom!
Nena
The festival is finally at its peak in July! Flowers from most strains bloom in a wide variety of flower colors and types. It’s like flipping a jewelry box
7/11
Technique to close when it rains
Nena
As you can see, the flowers of Helichrysum that have bloomed close instantly when it rains. That’s it early work.
7/18
End of flowers-seed flying in the sky
Nena
The flowering season of straw flowers is very long. I’m glad that the length of my breath keeps blooming for a summer, but as if I’m satisfied, one flower, one flower, and after it’s bloomed, it becomes a seed. The seed has wings! It was fluffy, fluffy and fluffy like a dandelion seed, and soared high in the sky …
