Hangi çiçek hangi ayda ekilmelidir?
Yemyeşil bir bahçe veya renk renk çiçekleri ile ta uzaktan bile fark edilen cıvıl cıvıl bir balkona sahip olmak birçok insanın hayali olabilir. Böyle bir heves veya merakı olmayan insanlar bile güzel bitkilerin yer aldığı bahçe veya balkonlarda bulunmaktan zevk alır. Ve bana kalırsa bitkilerin, insanın içini kıpırdatmak ile ilgili bildiği bir şey var sevgili okur.
Tumblr media
Bitkiler sağlıklı bir biçimde büyüyebilmesi için besin takviyesi, sulama, budama ve toprağın pH kontrolünün yapılarak dengelenmesi gibi faktörler oldukça önemlidir. Özellikle çiçeklerin sağlıklı ve verimli büyüyebilmeleri için göz önünde bulundurulması gereken bir diğer faktör ise ekim mevsimidir. İç mekan bitkileri için de dış mekan etkileri için de ekim zamanı büyük bir etkiye sahiptir. Buradan yola çıkarak yaptığımız araştırmalardan edindiğimiz bilgilere göre çiçeklerin ekim zamanı için en ideal olan ayların bir listesini hazırladık.

Phototoxic Essential Oils: What You Need To Know
I’ll admit it. When I first started using essential oils, I thought because they were “natural,” they were safe. I did very little research on them other than looking into the basics of how to use them. Thankfully, I mostly used them in homemade cleaning products and DIY skin care recipes, so most times they were properly diluted. No unfortunate peppermint bath experiences here, thank goodness!
Over the years, I’ve become a bit of a stickler for safe essential oil use, especially now that I know more about them. Essential oils are concentrated and strong. Not only that, but it often takes a lot of a plant to make a small amount of essential oil, and I want to be a good steward of the earth’s resources. In my efforts to use essential oils safely, one of the most recent safety concerns I’ve come across is phototoxicity.
If you’re familiar with essential oils, then I’m hoping you already know about phototoxic essential oils and are taking safety measures to avoid phototoxicity. However, if this is something you are not familiar with, I’d like to briefly explain what phototoxicity is, which essential oils are phototoxic, and how you can avoid it.
Phototoxicity 101
Phototoxicity can occur when constituents in certain essential oils (furocoumarins, most often) react when the skin is exposed to UV light. According to aromatherapist, Sheri Siegmund-Roach, the constituents in the essential oil binds with DNA in the skin cells and, once exposed to UV light, cell death and tissue damage occur (Siegmund-Roach, 2016). 
Phototoxic reactions can occur anywhere from 1-3 days following exposure to UV light. These reactions often result in inflammation, swelling, blistering, and burned skin. Phototoxic reactions only occur when these oils are applied topically at specific dilutions (more on that below) and exposed to UV light within a 12-18 hour period.
Using phototoxic essential oils in diffusers and personal inhalers are fine. Some people even say these types of oils can be safely added to personal diffuser jewelry. However, I’d use some caution here, especially when it comes to jewelry that comes in contact with your skin such as lava beads and leather bands.
It is also believed that using phototoxic essential oils in skin care products that are washed off, like sugar scrubs, soaps, and shampoos, pose no risk of phototoxicity.
Phototoxic Essential Oils
So which essential oils are considered potentially phototoxic? Glad you asked. The following is a list of phototoxic and potentially phototoxic essential oils as well as a list of citrus essential oils that are not known to be phototoxic. 
Phototoxic Essential Oils
Angelica root (Angelica glauca) essential oil
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) essential oil, cold pressed
Bitter orange (Citrus x aurantium) essential oil, cold pressed
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) essential oil
Lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla) essential oil
Fig leaf (Ficus carica) absolute
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) essential oil, cold pressed
Lemon (Citrus limon) essential oil, cold pressed
Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) essential oil, cold pressed
Mandarin leaf (Citrus reticulata) essential oil
Opopanax (Commiphora erythraea) essential oil
Rue (Ruta graveolens) essential oil
Taget (Tagetes minuta) essential oil and absolute
Potentially Phototoxic Essential Oils
Clementine (Citrus clementina ) essential oil, cold pressed
Combava fruit (Citrus hystrix) essential oil
Skimmia (Skimmia japonica) essential oil
Angelica root (Angelica archangelica) absolute and CO2
Celery leaf (Apium graveolens) essential oil
Celery seed (Apium graveolens) absolute
Cumin seed (Cuminum cyminum) absolute and CO2

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) essential oil, cold pressed or steam distilled
Yuzu Oil (Citrus junos) essential oil, cold pressed or steam distilled
(Tisserand & Young, 2014)
How To Avoid Phototoxicity
In case you’re wondering, no, you don’t have to avoid all phototoxic essential oils like the plague during the summer. However, it is wise to know how to reduce the risk of phototoxicity if you do decide to use them.
First of all, your best bet at avoiding phototoxicity is to stay away from these oils. If that won’t work, try substituting steam distilled essential oils in their place or using these oils in diffusers and personal inhalers only, especially if you are regularly exposed to UV light.
If you do decide to use these types of essential oils, it’s recommended to wait 12-18 hours before exposing yourself to UV light. If you do have to go out, you should cover your skin with fairly thick clothes (light clothing doesn’t provide enough protection). This will ensure that the areas the essential oil was applied to are not exposed to the light. You can also dilute phototoxic essential oils to appropriate levels as well. Each oil has a recommended dilution guideline so you’ll definitely want to look into this closer if you do decide to go this route. You can find some of these phototoxic essential oil dilution guidelines here.

Giardino + cucina = 🧡
Per i pollici verdi la grande soddisfazione non è solo avere un giardino sano e rigoglioso, ma poter sfoggiare grandi ed esotiche collezioni e poter dire “questa pianta ce l’ho solo io!”. Esiste poi un’altra categoria molto particolare, quella dei pollici verdi chef, che nei loro capolavori culinari usano produzioni esotiche del proprio orto. 
Questo post è un po’ per loro, ma anche per noi “comuni terrestri” curiosi e intraprendenti. Presentiamo qui qualche specie (lo spazio è sempre poco per raccontare tutto quello che la natura ci offre) che fa bella figura in giardino e in cucina e soprattutto vi invitiamo, come sempre, a piantare di più, ad osare, a cercare nuove piante.
Tumblr media
La prima pianta, non l’avreste mai detto che è commestibile, è l’Akebia Quinata (quella della foto). Senza nulla togliere ai soliti rampicanti, questo è fantastico e non molto conosciuto: semi-sempreverde, vigoroso, bei fiori e buon profumo, resistente e versatile. In più i suoi frutti possono essere usati in cucina come dolce o contorno. Ha proprietà analgesica, antinfiammatoria, antiossidante e incentiva la produzione di latte materno.  
Tumblr media
Poi c’è il fascino immortale degli agrumi che, se coltivati in vaso, danno un tocco di romanticismo mediterraneo a terrazzi e giardini. Ce ne sono di tante varietà, insolite e non, solo sul nostro sito sono più di 50. Ma sicuramente la più apprezzata dagli chef è quella del Finger Lime, o Limone Caviale, come elemento decorativo e per il particolare sapore, che ricorda quello del pepe rosa.
Tumblr media
Sempre tra i bellissimi e versatili agrumi, abbiamo scelto il kumquat. Bell’alberello, resistente alle basse temperature, dai fiori bianchi e piccoli frutti di cui si mangia anche la buccia, impiegati nella preparazione di canditi, marmellate, succhi o per guarnire cocktail. Ideale anche nella preparazione di piatti a base di pesce, pollo e anatra.
Tumblr media
Vi invitiamo poi a tuffarvi nel mondo delle aromatiche, tantissime da annusare, vedere, assaggiare. Il nostro consiglio è unire l’utile al dilettevole, piante belle e buone... la più comune è il rosmarino, una bella presenza in piatti e giardini.
Ma volevamo scovare qualcosa di poco conosciuto e ci è venuta in mente questa bella pianta di produzione biologica (foto sopra): la Tagetes lemmonii anche detta Solero. Fiori giallo-arancio che colorano l’autunno e due modi interessanti di utilizzo: le foglie essiccate vengono utilizzate per insaporire minestre e salse e hanno un retrogusto di mela. Inoltre questa pianta può risultare utile al fine di prevenire gli attacchi delle lumache e di impedire la propagazione di erbe infestanti.
Tumblr media
Per concludere, il geranio. Sì, ci sono gerani dalle foglie commestibili. Il nome corretto è in realtà Pelargonium e la varietà della foto é Bio e si chiama  Pelargonium odoratissimum. Commestibile dal fresco aroma di mela, le sue foglie possono essere usate nella preparazione di macedonie, marmellate, tè, cocktails, limonate e come decorazione. Portamento compatto e delicata fioritura di colore bianco che comincia in primavera e arriva fino a tarda estate.
Visto che si avvicina il Natale, vi ricordiamo che queste piantine possono essere una perfetta idea regalo, soprattutto se ne selezionate una piccola collezione e la donate in una graziosa cassetta di legno.
Come sempre, ci vediamo su Yougardener.com.

Each oil has a recommended dilution guideline so you’ll definitely want to look into this closer if you do decide to go this route. You can find some of these phototoxic essential oil dilution guidelines here.

Phototoxic Essential Oils: What You Need To Know
I’ll admit it. When I first started using essential oils, I thought because they were “natural,” they were safe. I did very little research on them other than looking into the basics of how to use them. Thankfully, I mostly used them in homemade cleaning products and DIY skin care recipes, so most times they were properly diluted. No unfortunate peppermint bath experiences here, thank goodness!
Over the years, I’ve become a bit of a stickler for safe essential oil use, especially now that I know more about them. Essential oils are concentrated and strong. Not only that, but it often takes a lot of a plant to make a small amount of essential oil, and I want to be a good steward of the earth’s resources. In my efforts to use essential oils safely, one of the most recent safety concerns I’ve come across is phototoxicity.
If you’re familiar with essential oils, then I’m hoping you already know about phototoxic essential oils and are taking safety measures to avoid phototoxicity. However, if this is something you are not familiar with, I’d like to briefly explain what phototoxicity is, which essential oils are phototoxic, and how you can avoid it.
Phototoxicity 101
Phototoxicity can occur when constituents in certain essential oils (furocoumarins, most often) react when the skin is exposed to UV light. According to aromatherapist, Sheri Siegmund-Roach, the constituents in the essential oil binds with DNA in the skin cells and, once exposed to UV light, cell death and tissue damage occur (Siegmund-Roach, 2016). 
Phototoxic reactions can occur anywhere from 1-3 days following exposure to UV light. These reactions often result in inflammation, swelling, blistering, and burned skin. Phototoxic reactions only occur when these oils are applied topically at specific dilutions (more on that below) and exposed to UV light within a 12-18 hour period.
Using phototoxic essential oils in diffusers and personal inhalers are fine. Some people even say these types of oils can be safely added to personal diffuser jewelry. However, I’d use some caution here, especially when it comes to jewelry that comes in contact with your skin such as lava beads and leather bands.
It is also believed that using phototoxic essential oils in skin care products that are washed off, like sugar scrubs, soaps, and shampoos, pose no risk of phototoxicity.

How To Avoid Phototoxicity
In case you’re wondering, no, you don’t have to avoid all phototoxic essential oils like the plague during the summer. However, it is wise to know how to reduce the risk of phototoxicity if you do decide to use them.
First of all, your best bet at avoiding phototoxicity is to stay away from these oils. If that won’t work, try substituting steam distilled essential oils in their place or using these oils in diffusers and personal inhalers only, especially if you are regularly exposed to UV light.
If you do decide to use these types of essential oils, it’s recommended to wait 12-18 hours before exposing yourself to UV light. If you do have to go out, you should cover your skin with fairly thick clothes (light clothing doesn’t provide enough protection). This will ensure that the areas the essential oil was applied to are not exposed to the light. You can also dilute phototoxic essential oils to appropriate levels as well. Each oil has a recommended dilution guideline so you’ll definitely want to look into this closer if you do decide to go this route.
