What to do with the Decembrist during the rest period

In autumn, the Decembrist is dormant for 6-8 weeks, it accumulates strength for future flowering. During the dormant period, it is necessary to create the necessary temperature regime for the flower culture within + 12- + 14 degrees.

In the fall, the Decembrist can be safely taken out to the glazed loggia. He loves fresh and humid air. If possible, create partial shade for the plant. Watering should be reduced or stopped altogether. But you can spray the leaves with cool water, moistening them from a spray bottle every 14 days.

How to feed

To stimulate luxurious flowering, you can use a pharmacy agent, namely boric acid in powder form. You will need 1 gram (on the tip of a knife) for 1 liter of chlorine-free water. The powder must be diluted in hot water so that it dissolves well, and then bring the solution to the required volume.

A good fertilizer for the Decembrist is ash (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water), as well as universal liquid feed for cacti and flower crops (doses should be indicated on the package).

Citrus
