Word of the Decembrist: 3 gross and frequent errors in the care of a flower

Decembrists in the house - sure, it is always a joy. Large flowers, usually bright and the least - in soft white or beige paint the window sills are not in the most friendly of the year, when the glass - dampness and dirt, frost and snow drifts.

Maybe due to the winter flowering Decembrist and became so popular here in the cold Russia? It's so nice to look at the contrast of exotic flowering and weather. The fact remains that the Decembrist (generally such rosy) can be called without cheating one of the symbols of room floriculture USSR.

Previously decembrist could be seen in any school or hospital. And the popularity of such plants is largely due to its amazing undemanding to growing conditions.

However Decembrist - not the typical home flower. No wonder it is the second name sounds like Zigokaktus. This is a typical succulent and slightly - epiphytic (growing on trees as the Orchid), that we can not ignore the owner of a flower. Otherwise, even the angelic patience Decembrist runs out: the leaves become wrinkled first, and then the whole plant will go to heaven.

To make it easier to organize the whole chain of care, I will briefly describe 3 common, but common mistakes in the care of the Decembrists. If you listen to the advice, it will be the owner of a healthy bush. And ready to uncompromising bloom!

Soil - the head of everything: planting in heavy soil

Lover of indoor plants, has set a goal to create Exemplary conditions for their Decembrists, it is worth remembering: the soil for the plants to be very airy. Of course, it can grow and universal pochvosmesi, but the risk of the Gulf and rot increases many times.

Ideal - decembrist planted in peat moss with disintegrating agents (e.g., perlite). Failing this incredibly useful in floriculture, but at the same time for some reason is very rare for the average flower shop Russia, you can take and the universal soil for flower. But in the latter case, again, binding and disintegrating jewelry irrigation.

curious advice: Decembrist transplanting, add a little chopped pine bark, sold for transplant orchids. First, it will make the soil airy. Secondly, this exotic component is natural for epiphytic Zigokaktus: because in the wild, in the far-distant south, our resident sill hanging from the trees.

And a little more about watering: best - the enemy of the good

Dekabrist being a true succulent, used to be satisfied at all a small amount of moisture. Therefore, florist, especially beginners, is not difficult to inadvertently pour the favorite plant. Following the good intentions, of course.

The only exception - a period set buds and flower marathon Decembrists. During flowering the soil should be kept slightly moist. Otherwise textured buds, and the opened flowers can already be ahead of time on the windowsill. What we certainly do not want to.

You should not believe everything you read on the Internet: reach for decembrist from the shadows

On Web sites, subjects indoor flower, and in posts on social networks, you can often meet the strict prohibition never to be moved from one place to the Decembrists. Otherwise it will not bloom, the buds will throw, and other horrors. Do not give in to provocations! Dekabrist will likely not bloom because of the lack of light.

Thousands of gardeners no problem rearranging decembrist. First, put on a cool loggia to have more buds, and then are entered into the house again. The only advice: plant, has already gained the future flowers, rearrange carefully. Let it will be drawn to the window by the same party that in the same place. That's all!
