Dragon seeds from China

The site of Chinese goods "Aliexpress" is replete with offers to buy all kinds of seeds. Fans of exquisite plants will surely like the idea of ​​trying to grow a "Mexican dragon" in their garden. The price for seeds is a ridiculous seller from China - 52 rubles 67 kopecks for 40 seeds.

Sellers offering seeds of overseas fruit have a lot of reviews, which means that you can get at least an approximate picture of growing a plant in the harsh Russian conditions. But here a fiasco will befall - some of the buyers praise the timely delivery, while others - the beautiful and high-quality packaging of seeds. Unfortunately, there is not a word about which plant grew from the seeds delivered on time and carefully packed.

Pros of buying:

1. The product is cheap, the purchase is unlikely to hit the budget.
2. Timely delivery.
3. The opportunity to try to grow a unique plant in the country.

Cons of buying:

1. Perennial tree "Dragon" comes from Mexico, the optimum temperature for it is +15 - +38 degrees. Therefore, growing a fruit in the country, as the seller at Aliexpress advises, clearly will not work - with the onset of winter, the plant will immediately die. It can be grown only in a special heated greenhouse or room conditions.
2. Goods from China are delivered to Russia by cargo plane. And it is unlikely that a comfortable temperature for dragon seeds is maintained there, +18 -25 degrees. In flight, the temperature overboard reaches -40. What will happen to the seeds? And is there any hope that they will sprout?
3. Difficulty returning goods. The seller is ready to return the money if you send him seeds by paying for the return parcel yourself. True, in this case, the amount sent will be several times higher than the cost of the seeds themselves. And hardly anyone wants to waste time, money and nerves to punish an unscrupulous supplier.

So, the seeds of the overseas "Dragon" from China for 52 rubles 67 kopecks ... There is information about the correct cultivation of the fruit, high-quality packaging, but there is no guarantee that something will grow from the seeds. In fact, this is throwing money (albeit a very small amount) down the drain. It is recommended to buy seeds of exclusive plants in a specialized store, where comfortable conditions for different types of plants are maintained. For example, it will be cheap for Muscovites, only 20 rubles for 5 seeds.

For residents of the region and other regions of Russia, the amount will be much higher, since you will have to pay for delivery.

The fact that the percentage of seed germination from China is extremely small is evidenced by the video:
