Takka ( lat. Tacca) - genus of plants of the family Taccaceae (Taccaceae).

Takka species grow in a wide variety of environmental conditions. They settle in open and heavily shaded areas, in savannas, in thickets of bushes and in rain forests. They can be found on the sea coasts and in the mountainous tropical forests of Asia, South America, New Holland, the Malay and Polynesian Islands, the Old World, sometimes at an altitude of up to 2100 m above sea level. Takku can also be found in Africa and Australia.

Tactical - perennial herbs with creeping or tuberous rhizomes. Young parts of plants, as a rule, are pubescent with tiny hairs that disappear as they grow older. Plant sizes are usually small, from 40 to 100 cm, but some species (for example, leontopetal tacca) sometimes reach a height of 3 m. The number of leaves and inflorescences on each plant is usually small. The leaves are all basal, large, on more or less long ribbed fleshy petioles, entire or strongly dissected. The flowers are bright, cup-shaped or bell-shaped, correct form, bisexual, located on short pedicels and collected in an umbellate apical inflorescence, surrounded by a veil of 4 bracts, in most cases located in 2 circles. With the exception of species of the section Palmotacca (Palmotacca) and Parker's tacca, inflorescences also have long (up to 25 cm) filiform drooping bracts. The fruit is a berry, and only in one species - plantain tacca (Tacca plantaginea) - a box. Seeds numerous, up to 5 mm long, light or dark brown.

Some types of takka, for example Tacca Pinnatifida, are mainly bred for tubers that deliver starch, the so-called "arraurut-tahiti".

Young leaves and inflorescences, as well as fruit pulp local population uses in writing, makes hats and fishing tackle from stems, prepares flour for baking bread, sweets, and medicines from rhizomes. In Europe, these plants are exotic, which are grown in winter gardens and greenhouses because it is too cold for her in our poorly heated apartments. Takki is grown not so much for the sake of beauty, but because of the unusual appearance.

While takka is getting more and more wide use as indoor plant, it should be borne in mind that it is not easy to successfully maintain tacca in rooms due to the special demands of the plant on the conditions of detention.

The family Tacaceae is represented by one genus Tacca with about 10 plant species.

Types of takka

Pinnatifid Tacca (Tacca leontopetaloides) . Synonym:Tacca pinnatifida (Tacca pinnatifida) . It grows in tropical Asia, Australia, in the tropics of Africa. The leaves are pinnatifid, up to 40-60 cm wide, from 70 cm long to 3 meters long. A flower with two bedspreads, large, reaching 20 cm wide, the color covered is light green. The flowers are green, located under the bedspreads. Bracts are long, thin, cord-like, up to 60 cm long. The fruit is a berry.

Tacca Chantrier ,or "Black bat» (Tacca Chantrieri) . Origin tropical forests of Southeast Asia. evergreen tropical, herbaceous plant reaching 90-120 cm in height. One of the most amazing and bewitching flowers. In Malaysia, Takka is called the flower of the devil or the flower of the bat and is associated with legends and horror stories. The flowers are framed with maroon, almost black, bracts, similar to the wingspan of a bat or butterfly with long, threadlike tendrils.

Takka whole-leaved , or "White bat" (Tacca integrifolia) . Synonym:White Tacca (Tacca nivea) . The homeland of the species is India. The leaves are wide, glossy, up to 35 cm wide, up to 70 cm long. A flower with two bedspreads, large, up to 20 cm wide, the color is white, white tone scattered purple strokes. The flowers are black, purple or dark purple, located under the bedspreads. Bracts are long, thin, cord-like, up to 60 cm long. The fruit is a berry. Highly ornamental plant, demanding on compliance with the conditions of care, and the level of humidity.

Tacca care

Lighting. Takka prefers bright diffused light; the plant should be shaded from direct sunlight. Suitable for growing at the windows of the western and east direction. At the windows of the south direction, a prerequisite is shading from the direct sun; for this, tulle or gauze is used. Takka can also be placed near north-facing windows, but the plant may not have enough light to grow and bloom.

Temperature. Takka is a thermophilic plant. In the period from spring to autumn, it prefers temperatures around 26-29°C. At the same time, some flower growers growing takka in Russia note that it successfully grows at temperatures from 18 ° C to 23 ° C, and when the temperature rises above 24 ° C, takka is affected by fungal diseases, which leads to the death of the plant.

From autumn, you can slightly reduce the temperature of the plant and keep it in winter at a temperature of about 20 ° C, not lower than 18 ° C. The plant is very afraid of drafts, but requires an influx of fresh air.

Watering. Takka is watered abundantly from spring to autumn, as the top layer of the substrate dries up. From autumn, watering is reduced, in winter it is watered carefully, allowing the substrate to dry by 1/3 of the volume, preventing overdrying and waterlogging of the earthy coma. Watering is done with soft settled water.

Fertilizer. Plants are fertilized from spring to mid-autumn. Feed every 14 days with flower fertilizer, the concentration is halved from the recommended one. Some flower growers recommend feeding tacca with orchid fertilizers. Plants are not fertilized in winter.

Air humidity. The plant is demanding on air humidity. The dry air of apartments is extremely harmful. Therefore, to create favorable conditions cultivation, additional measures should be taken to humidify the air - place a pot with a plant on a pallet filled with wet expanded clay or peat, use air humidifiers. Plants are regularly sprayed with soft settled water. It is permissible to arrange a steam “bath” for the plant from time to time - put it overnight in a steam-filled bathroom.

Transfer. Takku is transplanted as needed in the spring, about once every two to three years, when the roots completely fill the pot, into a container slightly larger than the previous one. Planting in too large pots can lead to overflow and, as a result, acidification of the substrate. The substrate for planting the plant is taken loose, with good aeration. The following mixture is suitable: leafy ground - 1 part, soddy land - 0.3 parts, peat 1 part, sand - 0.5 parts. Another substrate option: 1 part of peat, 0.4 parts of perlite, 0.6 parts of leafy soil. Too sweaty substrates are not suitable for the plant. It is allowed to cut the rhizome of the tacca with planting in the same pot. The bottom of the pot provides good drainage.

Reproduction. Takka is propagated by seeds and division of rhizomes.

When dividing, the takki rhizome is divided into parts, the cuts are sprinkled with charcoal, dried for 24 hours, and then planted in pots, the size of which should correspond to the size of the cuts.

Before planting seeds, they must be prepared. Soak the seeds for 24 hours in warm water (not too hot, so you can comfortably keep your hand in it). You can use a thermos to keep the water at a constant temperature while soaking.

Sow in trays, pots, etc. using quality seeds and placing them in a greenhouse or warm place with optimal temperature 25-28 degrees. It is important that the soil temperature is constant and high enough. For sowing, use flat trays and transparent plastic caps. Put pots with crops on subsoil heating.

Sow quality seeds to a depth of 2 mm, cover from above plastic bag or a transparent plastic dome to retain humidity.

Do not use ordinary planting soil- it is too heavy and interferes with normal respiration and access of water to the seeds. Heavy soil can kill seeds. Place some sphagnum moss on top and spray it daily to maintain a greenhouse effect for better seed germination. The soil must also be shed with water to better development root structure, but not too abundant, so as not to "flood" them. Germination can take anywhere from 1 to 9 months, so be patient. Don't throw away your seed trays thinking they won't germinate!

Seedling care. When the seedlings have grown enough, transplant them into small pots with well-drained soil with the addition of 10% coarse sand. Make sure your sand is well rinsed or the salts will damage your plant. During the entire active growing season (late spring to late summer) the plant should be regularly well moistened and the soil should be well drained. Use an soluble fertilizer. In the future, the plant will need larger pots. In winter, reduce watering and ensure that the plant maintains a temperature of at least 12 degrees.

Transplantation in February-March as needed. Shade from direct sun. Like any tropical plant, Takka requires regular misting all summer.

Tacca seedlings can easily die. Use only high-quality seeds that have been pre-planted. If you still feel like your seedlings are dying, sieve some good potting mix around the plant, just being careful not to damage the stem! Keep the temperature high enough and don't remove the canopy until at least a second layer of leaves has appeared.

Possible difficulties

Takka is very demanding on the conditions of detention. It is important for her to strictly observe the irrigation regime, to prevent overdrying and waterlogging of the earthen coma, to maintain high humidity air, observe a temperature of about 20 ° C in winter, water during this period with the drying of an earthen coma for 1/3 of the pot. Violations of the conditions of care lead to plant disease.

Shop-bought takki are often planted in red peat, such a substrate in room conditions has a number of drawbacks, it dries quickly on the surface, but inside it is still quite wet, so when watering, do not focus on the dryness of the topsoil, check the humidity inside the coma, and if it is damp inside, do not water it.

Takka is one of the most unusual exotic plants, thanks to its unique flowers, which are actually inflorescences.

Their strange and unique beauty is perfectly conveyed by such names as: “bat flower”, “white dove”, “devil flower”.

Originally exotic from the regions South-East Asia, India, Malaysia and the tropics South America where it grows in a wide variety of natural conditions.

And although appearance Takka looks like orchids, it has nothing to do with this culture - perennial belongs to the Takkov family.

Only 3 related species belonging to the genus Tacca are known in culture, which differ primarily in the color of the upper pair of bracts.

In Tacca nivea (photo 1), the upper bracts are snow-white, in Tacca integrifolia they are cream-green, and in the protagonist of this article, Tacca chantrieri (photo 2), all bracts are burgundy-black.

The flowers of the plant face upwards, and their petals are folded in such a way that they look like a white dove or bat wings in flight.

In the center are drooping filiform bracts resembling a mustache and reaching a length of 25 - 30 cm.

They give the inflorescence an unusual resemblance to the muzzle of an animal. Flowers have a delicate pleasant aroma, and their flowering lasts about 6 weeks.

A few shiny large green leaves, located on fleshy long roots, are quite decorative. The listed species can reach from 40 cm to 1 m in height and up to 60 cm in width.

Growing a flower "bat" at home

Due to the lack of frost resistance, the plant in our climate is grown only at home or in greenhouses. Despite the fact that the amazing perennial is a rare and unknown guest in indoor gardening, caring for it is not so difficult and not only experienced gardeners can do it.

Lighting and temperature

Ideal conditions are bright diffused light and the complete absence of drafts. Most of all, western and eastern exposure is suitable for growing Takka.

Heat-loving exotic feels comfortable at 25-28 ° C in summer period and a temperature of about 20 ° C in winter. And although the plant is afraid of drafts, it needs to provide good air circulation.

Watering

In addition to lighting, great importance It also has the right soil and air moisture. The substrate in the pot should be well permeable and moist, but not wet, to prevent root rot. It is better to put the pot on a stand with fine wet.

Watering should be plentiful, but not frequent in summer and moderate in winter, but the air humidity is very high and constant. To do this, spray the plant periodically. warm water, and every few days arrange a “bath day” by filling the bathroom with steam.

The need to moisten the substrate can be checked with a finger, deepening it into the soil by 2-3 cm. With sufficient moisture, the soil will remain on the finger. Water for irrigation should be rainwater or well-settled. Chlorine and others chemical compounds can bring irreparable harm to your pet.

Fertilizer

Fertilize once every two weeks during the growing season diluted liquid fertilizer for orchids.

reproduction

The bat flower reproduces vegetatively or with the help of seeds, however, be patient - germination can take from 2 to 3 months, but there are cases when the seeds germinated only after half a year.

Sown in flower light soil with the addition of sand or perlite. Seeds are placed at a depth of 3-4 mm. While waiting for germination, keep the substrate moist and the air and soil temperature between 25 - 28 °C.

It is possible to lay out pieces of moss on the surface, which, after spraying, will maintain constant air humidity, while not forgetting to regularly water the substrate. Flowering occurs in young plants only for 2-3 years of life.

Reproduction by division of the rhizome is the most easy way. Flowering is coming next year. Before starting the procedure, be sure to cut upper part Takki. Parts of rhizomes on sections are treated with powder from charcoal and dry for 2-3 days.

Rhizomes are placed in pots and covered with a film or cut plastic bottle to maintain greenhouse temperature. As soon as sprouts sprout from sleeping buds and several leaves appear, the cover is removed.

Every 2-3 years, when the roots completely fill the pot, the bat flower is transplanted. The procedure is carried out in the spring, after flowering, in a slightly wider, but shallow pot, since root system expands to the sides, not in depth. You can cut the rhizomes and use the old container for transplanting.

Prepare the soil mixture from components that provide good water and air permeability. The ideal composition would be: 60% peat, 30% perlite and 10% tree bark or vermiculite. During transplantation, remove old dead rhizomes, you can cut off excess leaves.

Briefly: Seed collection May 2017. Description Tacca CHANTRIERI or Tacca Chantrier, Black Bat, Devil Flower - undoubtedly one of the most unusual flowering plants, originally from India and Malaysia, belongs to the Taccaceae family.
It was first described in early XIX century. An impressive rosette of Takka consists of wide glossy leaves (up to 35 cm wide, up to 75 cm long). Many peoples in Africa and Southeast Asia eat takka rhizomes (after special preparation) and its fruits.
The sight of the falling Takka flower is absolutely unlike any other you know! Perhaps the purpose of the Takka flower is to amaze and surprise. Just imagine something outlandish, opening its "wings" at the top of a thin meter stem!

The Takka flower consists of two "spreads", the flowers themselves are greenish-white, then darkening to red and purple-black, each of which is up to 20 cm wide. From under these "spreads" real Takka flowers look like thick purple buttons. And such an unusual spectacle is completed by long (almost 60 cm) threads of cord-like bracts hanging down like huge purple sideburns. Grandiose?! - not that word!

Little tricks in caring for Takka:

First, pay attention to the size of the pot where you are going to place your outlandish beauty. The capacity of the pot should match the size of the root system of the tacca. Otherwise, waterlogging of the substrate large volume can provoke the occurrence of various rots in takka that can affect both its underground and above-ground parts. Most often, takka leaves are first affected: they begin to turn black at the edges. In such cases, fungicides will have to be applied.
Recommended pot sizes for planting Takka: starting from 75 mm, then 140, 200, 250 and up to 300 mm. The use of larger containers for growing Takka is considered inappropriate. It is better to remove the overgrown plant from the pot, cut off the excess parts of the rhizome, separate the children, place the remaining rhizome back into the pot and add fresh substrate to it. Takka does not like the annual transplant; it is recommended to do this after two to three years.
Secondly, in temperate and subtropical latitudes, Takka absolutely needs a period of rest in winter, but you need to have time to prepare for it. Therefore, never undertake to transplant takka if there are no two or three warm months ahead for its successful rooting. Untimely transplantation of Takka can lead to the death of its rhizome in winter.

A few more tips:
- For planting Takka, a loose, air- and moisture-permeable substrate is needed; the reaction of the mixture should be slightly acidic. The following mixture has proven itself well for growing Tacca: 60% peat, 30% perlite, 10% vermiculite (the amount of perlite in the volume of the substrate can be increased to 50%).
- For good growth Takki it is important to keep the substrate moist, but not flood or overdry it. AT winter period water Takka gently: let the soil dry out a little between waterings. In summer, more plentiful watering of Takka is carried out. Takka's watering regimen is similar to watering orchids (phalaenopsis) or hoyas.
-Takka likes to soak up the heat (within 30ºС), but she is afraid open sun and prefers a shaded place without drafts. One of the most suitable places to accommodate Takka, there may be one where the rays of the setting sun fall. But even in this case, it is better to place Tacca behind a fabric that absorbs up to 70% of the light. Takka is suitable for growing in the garden only if you live in the tropics. All other flower growers are advised to keep Takka in a pot culture. In summer, weather permitting, Takka can be used as a container plant. In winter, it is not recommended to keep Takki below 18ºС.
- Despite the fact that Takka is afraid of drafts, she needs good circulation of moist air. Therefore, it is recommended to regularly create a "fog" around the plant (use a humidifier or hand sprayer). Often the reasons for Takka's unwillingness to bloom and the appearance of pests ( spider mite) is the non-fulfillment of these conditions.
- Pay attention to fertilization if you want to get full blooms of Takka. Fertilizers require an increased content of the phosphorus component.
- You can propagate Tacca not only vegetatively, but also by seeds. Young plants obtained after vegetative propagation, begin to bloom at the age of two years, and takki seedlings bloom after three years of age.

Tacca. Sowing seeds:

Takki seeds are soaked for 12-24 hours in a fairly hot water(40-50°C) Sown on the surface of the earth, consisting of peat and perlite (vermiculite, sand). The seeds are pressed into the soil, sprayed with warm water, covered with a bag (film) and placed in a warm, bright place.

With proper sowing germinates within 8-12 weeks. However, germination can take up to 10 months.

When the first true leaf appears, the seedlings dive into individual containers. At this stage of cultivation, plants are very sensitive to chlorosis.

Takka is one of the most unusual exotic plants due to its unique flowers, which are actually inflorescences.

Their strange and unique beauty is perfectly conveyed by such names as: “bat flower”, “white dove”, “devil flower”.
