Properly watered decembrist summer
At first glance, it seems that summer decembrist (aka "Rozhdestvennik", "Schlumberger" and "Zigokaktus") is in a period of rest. Yes, before the formation of the first buds for a long time. But in the summer houseplant accumulates supply of nutrients to the beginning of winter to bloom. Therefore, when the cultivation of the Decembrists in the home is very important to water it in summer.
Zigokaktus - a plant similar to a cactus. It collects moisture in their leaf plates, so it can go without watering for a long time. But how to find a middle ground where the summer increases the air temperature and humidity - is reduced?
The situation is complicated by the fact that the Decembrists recommend to put on a sunny window, and moisture evaporates more quickly under the rays of light. Therefore, universal interval between waterings, unfortunately, no. You should focus on:
- air temperature;
- humidity;
- illumination;
- the appearance of a flower.
I look around in the summer of his Decembrist every day. I am watering when the soil has dried 2-3 cm, never allowing full zasushki land, not to torment your flower. That's enough: houseplant feels great and is always in bloom in the winter!
