¡Welcome to my Blog Hive friends!💞

Hello friends, happy day to all. Always wishing you all well, and of course enjoying good health with lots of love and prosperity in your lives.
I share with you this beautiful dwarf milkweed crop.

Some time ago, my husband and some friends became partners to plant milky plants and then harvest, they got the land borrowed in the countryside, the good thing is that there is an irrigation system.
Here in Venezuela they have a particular way of growing, they took the seeds of several good lechosa and put them in the sun for several days, these lechosa are very sweet and tasty and they call them lechosas enanas (dwarf lechosas), then they made seedbeds to sow the seeds there and to be aware of keeping the seedbeds humid and in 10 days some small plants were born or others in 15 days depending, after being born in the seedbeds after 15 days they moved them to a small pot lined with soil to germinate so that they grow a little more there. It is a slow and cumbersome process, but it is necessary to take care of the plants in order to obtain a good harvest. In punto fijo they use the irrigation system because it rarely rains here so in any season of the year they do these sowings to sell a good harvest.

After the plants are bigger is where they go directly to the ground and have to be properly ready with their gullies made and clean for the planting process and then you have to be very careful to place everything necessary to avoid fungi and pests and give them away several times a day so they hired a person to take care of that, once the plants are already somewhat grown they begin to throw their flowers.

After having the flowers ready each plant takes about 140 to 170 days for the milky plants to reach maturity is also depending on the weather and how many times a day they can be watered, but for now the milky plants are still small and green but the harvest is very nice and it is something satisfying for the whole process.
