Experience "With water and without water"
Objective: To identify factors external environmentnecessary for the growth and development of plants (water, light, heat)
Material: Two identical plants (balsam), water
Hod: An adult offers to find out why plants cannot live without water (the plant will wither, the leaves will dry out, there is water in the leaves); what will happen if one plant is watered, and the other is not (without watering, the plant dries up, turns yellow, leaves and stems lose their elasticity) The results of monitoring the state of plants, depending on watering, are sketched for one week. Make up a model of plant dependence on water. Children conclude that a plant cannot live without water.

Experience "In the light and in the dark"
Purpose: To determine the environmental factors necessary for the growth and development of plants.
Material: a stalk of a houseplant in a pot, a box made of durable cardboard, two containers with earth.
Stroke: An adult asks to find out if light is needed for plant life. Close the pot with the plant cuttings with a cardboard cap. Sketch the results of the experiment after seven to ten days (the flower under the cap has become light, pale). Remove the cap. After seven to ten days, the result is again sketched (the flower turned green in the light - it means that food has formed in it)

Experiment "Can a plant breathe"
Purpose: To reveal the need of a plant for air, respiration. Understand how the respiration process occurs in a plant.
Material: Houseplant, Cocktail Tubes, Vaseline.
Stroke: An adult asks if plants breathe, how to prove they breathe. Children determine, based on knowledge about the process of breathing in humans, that when breathing, air must enter and exit the plant. Inhale and exhale through the tube. Then the hole of the tube is covered with petroleum jelly. Children try to breathe through the tube and conclude that the petroleum jelly does not allow air to pass through. It is hypothesized that plants have very small holes in the leaves through which they breathe. To check this, smear one or both sides of the leaf with petroleum jelly, observe the leaves daily for a week. A week later, the conclusion is made: the leaves "breathe" with their underside, because those leaves that were smeared with Vaseline on the underside died.

Experience "Does the plant have respiratory organs?"
Purpose: Determine that all parts of the plant are involved in respiration.
Material: Transparent container with water, leaf on a long stem or stem, cocktail tube, magnifying glass.
Stroke: The adult asks to find out if air passes through the leaves into the interior of the plant. Suggestions are made on how to detect air: children examine the stem cut through a magnifying glass (there are holes), immerse the stem in water (observe the release of bubbles from the stem). An adult with children conducts the "Through the Leaf" experiment: water is poured into a bottle, leaving it 2-3 cm empty. Insert the leaf into the bottle so that the tip of the stem is immersed in water. The opening of the bottle is tightly covered with plasticine, like a cork. Here they make a hole for the straw and insert it so that the tip does not reach the water, fix the straw with plasticine. Standing in front of the mirror, suck air from the bottle. Air bubbles begin to emerge from the submerged end of the stem. Children conclude that air passes through the leaf into the stem, as the release of bubbles into the water from the stem is visible.

Experience "Who is better?"
Purpose: To identify favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants, to substantiate the dependence of plants on soil.
Material: Two identical cuttings, a container of water, a pot of soil, plant care items.
Stroke: An adult offers to determine whether the plants can live long without soil (they cannot); where they grow better - in water or in soil. Children put geranium cuttings in different containers - with water, with soil. Observe them until the first new leaf appears. The results of the experiment are formalized in the observation diary and in the form of a model of plant dependence on soil (a plant in the soil has a new leaf faster, the plant gains strength better, the plant is weak in water)

Experience "Labyrinth"
Purpose: To establish how the plant seeks light.
Material: Cardboard box with a lid and partitions inside in the form of a labyrinth; a potato tuber in one corner, a hole in the other.
Stroke: A tuber is placed in a box, closed, put in a warm place, with a hole towards the light source. Open the box after the potato sprouts appear in the hole. Consider, noting their direction, color (sprouts are pale, curved). Leaving the box open, they continue to observe the change in the color of the shoots and the direction of growth (they turn green, stretch in different directions). The conclusion is formulated: the plant grows better in the light.

Experience "What do plants need to feed?"
Purpose: To establish the need for light for plant nutrition
Material: Indoor plants with hard leaves (ficus, bastard), adhesive plaster
Stroke: An adult offers children a riddle letter: what will happen if no light falls on a part of the sheet (part of the sheet will be lighter). The children's assumptions are tested by experience: part of the sheet is sealed with a plaster, the plant is placed to a light source for a week. After a week, the plaster is removed, the children conclude: without light, food in the plants does not form.

Food Factory experience
Purpose: Determine that the plant can provide food for itself.
Material: Plant pot inside a wide-mouth glass jar, sealed lid.
Stroke: Inside a large transparent container, children place a cutting of a plant in water or a plant in a small pot. The soil is watered. The container is sealed with a lid, placed in a warm, bright place. The plant is monitored for a month. Find out why it did not die (the plant continues to grow, drops of water periodically appear on the walls of the jar, then disappear). The plant feeds itself.
Experience "What are the roots for?"

purpose : prove that plant roots absorb water; clarify the function of plant roots; establish the relationship between the structure and function of the roots.

Equipment : a stalk of geranium or balsam with roots, a container of water, closed with a lid with a slot for the stalk.

Experience progress : The students examine cuttings of balsam or geranium with roots, find out why the roots are needed by the plant (the roots fix the plant in the ground), whether they absorb water. An experiment is carried out: the plant is placed in a transparent container, the water level is noted, the container is tightly closed with a lid with a slot for the cutting. Determine what happened to the water after a few days (there is little water). The assumption of children is checked after 7-8 days (there is less water) and the process of water absorption by the roots is explained. Children sketch the result.

A tall sprout has grown in a pot,

On a gentle morning he opened the petals.

All petals beauty and nutrition

Together they give roots underground.
Experience "How to see the movement of water through the roots?"

purpose : prove that the roots of a plant absorb water, clarify the function of plant roots, establish the relationship between the structure and function of roots.

Equipment : balsam stalk with roots, water with food coloring.

Experience progress : Students examine cuttings of geranium or balsam with roots, clarify the functions of the roots (they strengthen the plant in the soil, take moisture from it). And what else can roots take from the earth? The children's assumptions are discussed. Consider food dry dye - "food", add it to water, stir. Find out what should happen if the roots can take not only water (the roots should be painted in a different color). After a few days, the children sketch the results of the experiment in an observation diary. Clarify what will happen to the plant if substances harmful to it are in the ground (the plant will die, taking harmful substances along with the water).

Poems

Twinkle
A frosty day crunches outside the window
There is a flower Ogonyok on the window.
The petals are blooming in crimson
As if the lights were really on.
I water it, its shore,
I can't give it to anyone

E. Blaginina

When you share shelter with friends -

Life is simple and easy

Let them support not with words -

With the glow of delicate petals.

Violets from the Alps came to your house,

From Africa - Clerodendron.

Like a palm tree, remembers the sky hot

Tropical abutilone,

Greenery flows from the pots

And they catch the sun's hand

And the ubiquitous geranium.

Yes, they don't have enough warmth and light -

They found shelter in the north.

But how important is this science:

What they have is given.

From all adversity, your window

Will shield their live bouquet.

And this multicolored sun

You will be warmly warm!
****
Flashlight wonderful, multi-colored -
what is this magic?
He will dissolve his flowers
right before Christmas!
Like droplets of leaves
he is beautiful and radiant,
Your apartment will light up in December
with its radiance - the Decembrist.

Svetlana Titankova
What are plants for?

purify the air	treat
give oxygen	predict the weather
create coziness (beauty)	cheer up

Why is the earth loosened?

Loosening of the soil is carried out during wet, loosening dry soil can damage the roots.

Loose soil contributes to better water supply to the plant (water is better absorbed)

Loose soil retains moisture longer than compacted soil

No wonder loosening is called dry irrigation.
Greeting

... Let's walk slowly in a circle

And let's say hello to each flower.

I must bend over the flowers

Not to tear or cut

And to see their kind faces

And show them a kind face.

Many Russians in office premises and houseplants are planted in their apartments. The first group of florists does what they love very responsibly, putting a lot of effort. The second group - they just water the ground without bothering further care... Sansevieria has long been known as an unpretentious plant with useful properties, so the flower is suitable for representatives of any group.

Many are familiar with such numerous names - Mother-in-law's language, Shchuchiy or Kukushkin's tail. Them useful plant received for long and narrow leaf blades. Passionate florists have long known about the benefits and dangers of a pike tail.

The appearance and features of the flower Pike tail (Sansevieria)

The Pike tail has long been famous in European countries. The houseplant is named for the Italian background Sansevier, a prince who was fond of botany. He observed the flower and revealed the useful and harmful qualities of mother-in-law's tongue for living beings.
The data obtained by Sansevier was confirmed by modern laymen. Many have noticed that sansevieria has beneficial properties not only for living organisms, but also for the home. She is capable of:

1. Decorate office and living space.
2. Benefit in the treatment of ailments.
3. Cleanse the atmosphere from negative energy.

Nature has presented 60 species of Sansevieria - evergreen perennials. But only a few of them are cultivated as indoor plants. The fact is that some flowers, called mother-in-law's language, have properties that are not useful, but harmful to humans. However, all representatives of the genus are characterized by:

1. Lack of peduncle. This property of the Pike Tail is the reason that many growers plant a plant with an unusual appearance at home.
2. Creeping rhizome.
3. Narrow or wide, always rigid, leaf blades pointed at the top. The wax coating present on them prevents the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the sheet. Thanks to this flower, constant watering is not required.
4. The leaf blades can be light green, dark green, silvery, brown and yellow. Some plants on leaves have differently located spots and stripes. Thanks to such a variety of colors, the pike tail has become a symbol for Feng Shui fans. Kukushkin tail with silver leaves - a messenger of material well-being. If you put it on workplace, then the person will definitely receive a salary. A pike tail with striped sheets in the office will harm your career. Employees' work activities will consist of pronounced black and white stripes.
5. The useful properties of leaf blades of the mother-in-law's plant have been noticed by scientists, so the flower is used to make anti-inflammatory and sedative drugs.
6. From the green flowers of the Pike tail, inflorescences in the form of a cylinder are obtained. Vanilla or lilac aromas spread from flower brushes. The smell is most noticeable in the evening and at night.

1. Remove from the air toxic substancesthat are harmful to the health of people and pets.
2. Even at night, they release oxygen, which many indoor flowers cannot do.

Russian biologists have proved that the pike tail is capable of affecting not only humans and the air, but also household appliances. Sansevieria will have home benefits because it:

1. Removes hazardous radiation from TV, laptop and personal computer. Psychologists-kinesiologists recommend placing the pike tail near these devices, then the harm from their regular use will be minimized.

Also, adults should make sure that inquisitive children do not try the Pike tail for a tooth. It is not known what harm will be caused by the ingestion of a plant in a developing stomach. If the child ate a bite indoor flower, then you need to give him activated charcoal as soon as possible and consult a pediatrician.

Places where it is best to place a pike tail pot

To protect tetrapods and children, flowerpots with a home flower are placed in inaccessible places. Followers of the ancient teachings of Feng Shui attribute powerful properties to the pike tail. It is believed that the benefits and harms of a houseplant should be balanced. This can be achieved by placing an even number of flowerpots next to it. Also, according to Feng Shui, the energy of sansevieria can come into opposition with plants. Therefore, Pike tail is placed away from other representatives of domestic flora.
Finding sansevieria in the bedroom will negatively affect people's sleep. It is better if the flowerpot with a useful flower will stand in an office or a drawing room.
A pike tail can fit into an apartment of any design.

Signs and superstitions

The magical properties of sansevieria were known in antiquity. Folk wisdom and knowledge formed the basis for signs, most of which remain relevant to this day.

1. A useful plant that blooms in winter indicates imminent failures. Conflict with a partner awaits a person, which will be based on misunderstanding. This situation will bring tangible harm to the mental health of both individuals.
2. If the pike tail blooms in the warm season, then you should expect success and good luck in all your endeavors. No matter what the man does, fortune will accompany him.
3. The indoor flower creates a creative atmosphere in the room. It activates people's inspiration and hidden talents.
4. Also, a useful plant protects the house from gossip and slander. Catching the negativity with leaves, the Pike tail with the help of the roots accumulates evil in the soil. Therefore, from time to time it is necessary to water the ground in the flowerpot with holy water.
5. The plant will benefit schoolchildren and students, as it motivates further action and helps in the assimilation of knowledge.
6. Forgetful people must also acquire the Pike tail, then they can get rid of memory problems. The energy of the sansevieria plant allows you to achieve any goal, regardless of whether it is associated with a profession, personal life or self-development.

Conclusion

The benefits and harms of a pike tail roughly balance each other. Therefore, one should not be afraid to breed him in an apartment or at work. If you take certain measures, then a useful plant will only delight the owners.

Once Mary planted two strange striped leaves in the ground. Never before had she planted leaves directly in the ground. Neighbor Rose told her that these leaves would give roots and a plant known as Pike Tail would grow from them. This name made Mary very amused. The inhabitants of Maria’s home garden did not like the two clumsy leaves sticking out of the ground.

What a rude creature - not a bit of grace. Some freak! - the queen of flowers, Tea Rose, thought indignantly.

And Geranium, spreading a dizzying aroma, said to its neighbor Chrysanthemum:

Poor thing, no zest: no good looks, no fragrant smell.

How unattractive he is, - even the kind Azalea decided, looking sympathetically at the rough leathery leaves of Pike Tail.

And all the other inhabitants of the kindergarten thought about him about the same. Unfortunately, none of them knew that Pike Tail, despite its rough appearance, was a sensitive creature. By the leaves of the plants, he could read their thoughts. These unfriendly thoughts made him sad and timid. From self-doubt, he cringed, afraid to even look at his garden neighbors.

But Mary had a different opinion about it unusual plant... She carefully tended his leathery leaves, watering them whenever she saw that they were thirsty. She knew how to guess almost without error! She washed the leaves of Pike Tail with warm water, affectionately talking to him: “How quickly you grow! Your leaves become strong and strong! Soon you will grow and become handsome. ” The inhabitants of the kindergarten have always listened to Mary's opinion. But this time they did not share it at all. After all, they did not find anything in their new neighbor.

And Pike Tail, listening to Maria, thought with bitterness: “I am not a handsome man, she just pity me. I saw my reflection in the window! ”

With each passing day, he became more and more confined in himself, like a snail hiding in his house.

Soon, Pike Tail developed into a slender plant with many straight and stiff leaves sticking out of the ground. In terms of growth rate, he overtook many of his neighbors, but he was still always silent. The light transverse stripes on its leaves were very reminiscent of fish scales, which embarrassed the white cat, which was always not averse to feasting on fish. He often approached Pike Tail, stood on his hind legs in fluffy trousers, smelled its leaves and even licked them, purring under his breath: “Strange, it doesn't smell like fish at all, but looks so similar. Yes, you are not a fish, but a pity, a pity. " And the cat disappointedly turned away from the Pike Tail under the general giggle of the inhabitants of the kindergarten. Piketail remained silent. He was silent even when the plants asked for his opinion. At first they took offense at him, but then they got used to it and left him alone. Only the cocky Coleus pestered him sometimes:

Please tell me what a proud man! Why are you all silent? Did you swallow your tongue ?!

Indeed, why was the Pike Tail so stubbornly silent? After all, he has grown up a long time ago and has become beautiful and attractive. The fact is that he was unusually modest. His uncertainty and timidity grew day by day. He never smiled, he was sad and sad. And to his neighbors, he seemed a gloomy and unfriendly plant. How wrong they were!

The playful Tradescantia, sometimes hanging from her hanging basket, tickled him with her cool little leaves, trying to cheer the stern silent man:

Come on, laugh! Aren't you tickled? Aren't you even tickled? - teased his minx.

But Pike Tail remained unapproachable. Of course, he was ticklish, even very, but he courageously endured these playful attacks. Pike Tail waited for a miracle - he waited when he could finally decorate the garden with his flower and become worthy of all other plants.

And one early spring morning, the whole room was filled with an unfamiliar wonderful aroma.

Oh! What a subtle smell! Who smells so sweet? - the fragrant Tea Rose was the first to notice. The plants began to look at each other and gasped in surprise, noticing a fragile long-legged flower peeking out shyly from behind the high leathery leaves of Pike Tail. Its leaves, like silent guards, guarded the miracle that had just been born. The flower was lucky: behind such a solid wall, one could not be afraid of the hot sun and drafts.

I bloomed. I give my flower to our garden. Now I look like you!

Why have you been silent before and did not tell anything about yourself? - asked the startled Coleus.

You would not believe me, because you were so hostile to me! I wanted to prove in practice that I am worthy of you. I am so happy today that I want to reveal my real name to you. My name is Sansevier!

An unusual silence reigned in the garden.
