Zamioculcas does not tolerate: frequent mistakes of beginners

Do you want to grow a chic zamioculcas ("Dollar tree") with rich green foliage? Nothing complicated! The plant is surprisingly undemanding and grateful for the attention. If you have zamiokulkas recently, then my small note will help you navigate and avoid annoying oversights.

The main rule is not to be scared if the zamioculcas grows very slowly. This is a feature of the plant, which is not distinguished by a rapid increase in green mass and the number of shoots.

Planting in a tight pot will somewhat correct the situation. When the tubers and roots fill the volume, the indoor plant will have nothing better than to dissolve new leaves and grow fresh shoots. It plays into our hands!

Not too critical a mistake, but inhibiting growth and impairing the appearance, is the wrong choice of fertilizers for zamiokulkas. As we know, in a limited amount of soil, all indoor plants need to "eat". And, when the nutrient reserve of the earth has already been used up (and this is about six months after transplantation), it is imperative to feed the flower with mineral fertilizers.

But flowering indoor plants need a high content of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), while decorative deciduous plants (including zamioculcas) need nitrogen (N). Therefore, if you want to see emerald foliage and active growth of young shoots, purchase the appropriate tool "For decorative leafy". The choice of fertilizers, including very inexpensive ones, is huge on store shelves.

Zamioculcas is a very thermophilic plant. With a high probability, he will forgive even the direct rays of the sun, but never a cold draft. Temperatures below 15 ° C will prove fatal for the Dollar Tree.

Therefore, be careful when you ventilate the room in which the pot is located. If it is cool at home (for example, when the heating has not yet been turned on), then simply move the zamiokulkas to a warmer place.

Zamioculcas prefers, like most home flowers, soft diffused light and even tolerates some kind of shading well. Therefore, find a worthy place for your pet in the house - and you will be pleasantly surprised how good this plant can be!

And finally, the most important thing.

Zamioculcas is a tuberous plant that does not tolerate moisture stagnation. Wet feet can cause rot and the subsequent loss of a green pet. Therefore.

Make sure to drain well and water gently. Better not to top up than overflow: let the topsoil dry completely!
