“El Toronjil”
Always so helpful to learn the names of our herbal friends in other countries!!
LOVELY to see it growing so abundantly in your garden, and also how you USE it. Does it grow all year round in Venezuela or does it die back when those winds you mentioned start to blow?? I honestly think TEA is one of the simplest - and also most helpful - ways to ingest and use herbs... because the act of brewing and sipping with one's hands curled around a warm cup is already the beginning of calm, which is where all healing begins.
GREAT post and appreciated you not just being the first post in the challenge, but including your own pictures. Kudos!!
Reblogged with pleasure.
Hello, thank you for your valuable appreciation.🌷
This plant is quite difficult to plant, but once you succeed you can obtain a very leafy bush that remains beautiful as long as it has well-fertilized soil, sun, and is watered frequently. Its sowing is achieved through the seeds that come out of its branches, or by the elbows with roots that adhere to the ground. It can present some dry branches that must be pruned regularly, but more branches and leaves sprout everywhere, even if you drag a branch on the ground it adheres to it and forms that elbow that fills with rootlets and then where it bends it sprouts a branch that grows upwards, practically forming a new plant. The breeze only drops the dry leaves and seeds, but does not affect the plant at all. To keep it firmer and not drag so much, I placed a tube next to it and tied some braids. 💚🌱
