The stem is simple, not very branched, from 30 cm to 1 m high, hairless at the bottom and hairy at the top, where there are also numerous and large glands that secrete <u>essential oil<\/u>.<br \/>The essential oil of the dittamus is highly flammable, just the flame of a candle is enough to create a sort of small firework.  Furthermore, this oil is highly irritating and on contact with the skin there can be strong inflammatory reactions, with the appearance of irritation and small blisters.  For these reasons, the dictatorship also takes the name of <strong>burning plant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Foglie\">Leaves<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The lower leaves of the plant are simple, with a short petiole and have an obovate shape and an entire margin.

Due to the resemblance to the leaves of the ash tree, the dittamus plant is also called <strong>ash tree<\/strong>.<br \/>The peculiarity of the leaflets is that, if observed against the light, they have a pellucid punctuation, that is, they have semitransparent spots.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-652\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad medrectangle-3 medrectangle-3652 adtester-container adtester-container-652\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3-0\" ezaw=\"728\" ezah=\"90\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:90px;min-width:728px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id=\"forum-4242383855\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span id=\"Fiori\">Flowers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ezlazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-18204\" alt=\"dittamus flowers\" width=\"780\" height=\"511\" ezimgfmt=\"rs rscb3 src ng ngcb3\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1649254104_325_How-to-grow-the-dictamus-Dictamnus-albus.jpg\"><br \/>The inflorescence is a simple raceme, rarely has 1 or 2 secondary branches.  The calyx of the flower has 5 free sepals, lanceolate in shape and strongly hairy on the external surface.  The corolla has 5 white petals veined with red or, rarely, all red, of which four facing upwards and one downwards.

This is a widely used practice, above all because of the beauty of its flowers and, in particular, for the aroma that pleasantly saturates the environment on summer evenings.  However, it can only be grown by the most experienced gardeners, who know how to handle it and avoid the severe skin irritation problems caused by the essential oil.  The plant loves sunny locations and a temperate climate, and suffers from too dry and hot seasons.  Furthermore, it grows well in loose soils and with a good supply of organic matter.  However, even in the most difficult soils, such as calcareous ones, it can be at ease.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Semina_del_dittamo\">Sowing of the dittamus<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The dittamus reproduces from seed and sowing takes place in late summer or early autumn, when the seeds are ripe.  It is not easy to find the seeds, even if several hybrid varieties have been developed, more adapted to home cultivation.  Failing that, however, you can collect the seeds of the spontaneous plants you meet around, at the right time.  When touching the dittamo always use protective gloves.<br \/>The sowing must be done in small pots, which, during the winter, must be kept protected in one <u>small balcony greenhouse (like this one)<\/u> or in a closed place.<br \/>In spring, then, the small seedlings are transplanted, which need about 30 cm of space between each other.  These should only be watered at the beginning of the crop cycle, if there is not enough natural rainfall.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-658\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad medrectangle-4 medrectangle-4658 adtester-container adtester-container-658\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-4\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-4-0\" ezaw=\"580\" ezah=\"400\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Cure_colturali\">Cultural care<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In winter, the plant enters vegetative rest and dries up the green parts.  To promote underground storage, the stem can be cut at the base.  In addition, for better protection from the winter cold, a layer of <u>natural mulch with straw<\/u>.<br \/>In the following spring the vegetation restarts from the previously cut base.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Raccolta_e_conservazione\">Collection and conservation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the domestic use of the dittamus, the flowering tops are collected at the beginning of the anthesis, which, as mentioned, occurs in summer.  The stems should be cut, a few centimeters below the lowest flower.  The tops must be gathered in bunches that are not too tight and left to dry in a shaded and ventilated place.  When completely dry, they can be kept in <u>paper or jute bags<\/u>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Proprieta_e_usi_del_dittamo\">Properties and uses of the dictamus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The dittamus <u>it has always been considered a medicinal plant<\/u> rich in beneficial properties.  The main properties exploited in herbal medicine are those <u>antispasmodic, digestive and stimulants of the peripheral circulation<\/u>.<br \/>For home use, the plant is employed in the form of <u>herbal tea, as a comforting, stimulating and digestive drink<\/u>.  Just use 1 g of dry matter in 100 ml of water.<br \/>In the kitchen, due to its intense aroma, it is mainly used to flavor liqueurs and sweets.  An excellent match is with game dishes, which the dictamus softens by their very strong flavor.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-650\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad box-4 box-4650 adtester-container adtester-container-650\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-box-4\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-box-4-0\" ezaw=\"300\" ezah=\"250\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-689\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad large-mobile-banner-1 large-mobile-banner-1689 adtester-container adtester-container-689\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-large-mobile-banner-1\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-large-mobile-banner-1-0\" ezaw=\"580\" ezah=\"400\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dittamo (Dictamnus albus) is a perennial plant belonging to the family of Rutaceae and it is to all intents and purposes to be considered an aromatic plant.
