Types of Oats
The oats are innumerable, with a singular characteristic. They have their name derived from the Greek "advanced", which indicates a plant that does not get wet. The best known ferns are the hair of Venus (Adiantum capillusveneris), hair of Angel (Adiantum microphyla), the avencão (macrophylla Adiantum) and the Swiss culantrillo (Adiantum radianum).
How to grow organic oats
Did you know that the best time to plant avenca is in the spring? This is because you have a harder time developing well when the weather is colder. Other recommendations for you now to know how to grow organic oats are below.
Weather
The ideal temperature for avencas is the highest, but it is possible to cultivate them between 13 to 30ºC in more humid environments. It must be kept away from the wind.
Lighting
The avenues need indirect sunlight for a good development.
Terrain
The ideal soil for oats is fertile soil with good drainage. Make your substrate free of pathogens such as fungi.
Seedlings and planting
According to the expert Organic Agriculture Thiago Tadeu Campos , by the changes of culantrillo, it is possible to be chosen to make from the spores or by division of bushes.
For spores, you will need to scrape the spores with a knife type object, very carefully. The spores are black dots when ripe, which are left at the bottom of the leaves. The spores will fall on a surface (you can put a white paper) and will spread on the substrate in a sowing once you finish. Cover the sowing with plastic and wait to germinate.
At first, it will look like you are creating a kind of moss. But don't worry, when it gets bigger, you'll notice that the spores are germinating! Remove from sowing and place in the definitive place when the molts have at least two centimeters.
Another alternative is to remove the seedlings from the gums. Separate the moles and make the sowing. This procedure must be carried out with great care so as not to damage the roots.
Whichever method you chose to plant oats, a very important characteristic about that plant is that it is sensitive to changes of place. Plant in the definitive place!
