Grow Opium Poppies Indoors

Now a days, there are too many different kind of flowers, plants, herbs, and many botanic products that make our lives really pleasant, to release stress, nervousness, insomnia, pain, etc. And we know that there are too many ornamental plants too, as simple as roses, tulips, etc. And this article talks about this. About having in home your medicinal plants and your ornamental plants too.

This is easy to say, but there are many things you must do before you think in growing opium poppies indoors. Well, as you know opium poppies are annuals, and they can grow indoors, I mean inside your own house, helping yourself with some grower tools, as fertilizers and a good space for the plants.

The opium is a narcotic that comes from the dissection of the juice contained into the capsules from the immature poppy of gigantheum somniferum, also known as Papaver Somniferum; the opium grows principally in Turkey, Afghanistan, many countries in Asia and India. Opium seeds have oval shape, are chestnut colored and are sticky at touch and soft inside; but it gets harder to get them commercially. The opium poppies have analgesic properties, which have been used for many generations for about 5000 years.

The opium poppy is a green capsule, which contains seeds and flower petals surrounding the poppy; the opium is sow after the surrounding flower petals fall down. This happens normally in spring because the opium poppy is grown in fall, not in other season, because it is frost tolerant and the opium poppies prefer cool climates.

So, what do you need to grow yours? First get the poppy seeds; you can buy them on the Internet. Then, sow the opium seeds in a pot with soil that is not too wet. Then sow the plant indoors, put the opium plant into direct light, remember the cool weather, so, try to turn on the indoor climate and be sure it is less than 60-Fahrenheit degrees.

Sometimes if you see or experiment some problems growing opium poppies indoors, is because you are not being careful with the cool climate, or maybe you are over watering your plant, and the opium poppies do not need too much water, but you can help your plant to grow indoors using soft fertilizers, this will not change anything in your plant, so when the plant have grew, try to keep it out of fungus (this would completely destroy you plant).

If you were very careful following the right steps and taking care of your opium poppy at the end, you will have seeds to sow for he next season, and then your opium plant no will be just one, but, several more. You can save the rest of the seeds for yourself or give them as a present to you friends and neighbors.
