Potted plants, beautiful flowering and winter (photo + description) 🌺 Outside, the snow, and the house
On the street and in the apartment cold, but at night the thermometer drops below zero already. Last fall equinox - soon the night will be much longer than the day, which is why many indoor plants will go into retirement. But if you want your window sill was painted flowers when the glass snow, I advise to pay attention to the domestic plants, which are not afraid of a little daylight hours.
Lush handsome - Persian cyclamen
Even a person not experiencing tender love for plants, it is unlikely to pass showcases the "flower" Persian cyclamen with exposed in all its glory. Over lush dense cushion of leaves with a green pattern on long peduncles flaunt bright butterflies ...
Before buying should know: to see the splendor of cyclamen for the second time already at home, will have to learn a lot of new information and establish a chain of care. As much as I wanted to paint a handsome dignity, to be honest with you. You can not enjoy the lush flowering cyclamen, growing it as geranium.
Here are the main "fad":
- During transplantation tuber planted after purchase so that the tip was sticking out of the ground. This significantly reduces the risk of the Gulf.
- In the wild cyclamen bloom after the winter, picking buds in early spring, so the best flowering stimulator - a temporary drop in temperature.
- This plant has a dormant period (replaces winter), during which the bush is not very pleasant sight. Should be treated with respect to the rest!
I had a Persian cyclamen, which somehow bloomed in winter and summer. I do not remember why, but I got rid of him. But while writing the text above, I wanted to experiment again)
Poinsettia - "star" Winter hypermarkets
Anyone who has been to the big stores before the New Year, just saw puansetiyu. Plant with dark green leaves and bright primary (conventional coloration - scarlet) bracts. Yes, that's the red spots - a modified leaf around the flower, which in itself nevzrachen, barely noticeable and of no interest to the average grower.
In the West, the poinsettia - a symbol of Christmas, gradually migrated due to its bright appearance to us in Russia. In Europe, potted plants are treated as disposable.
We have it, too, has become hostage to his own image: the owner puansetii, naturally saw the withering of flowers and leaves, get rid of the pot. But the imaginary death usually occurs because of the change in the conditions and the need for peace. Rest, proper care and pruning poinsettia make poalet again)
Hippeastrum, mistakenly referred to as Amaryllis
Hippeastrum - one of my favorites on the windowsill. I am glad that their popularity is slowly but surely returning to Russia. Flower arrow, which appeared in the fall, it will be revealed huge and bright, "bells", which is very impressive contrast with the snow outside the window.
Bonus: a large flower on the windowsill will certainly be noticeable from the street
Hippeastrum flowering time depends on the time when he was sent into retirement. Some people wake up in the spring onions, the other - in the autumn. If you want a flowering Hippeastrum for the New Year, it should be sent to sleep in late summer.
Unfortunately, some growers disparagingly refer to the period of rest Hippeastrum. "Look, what! And so all my life growing... ". But in fact, the pledge and regular fertilization with mineral fertilizers - the key to the regular flowering (some bulbs are blooming and to 3 times per year).
Good old Decembrist
If you do not want to bother with pronounced periods of cyclamen tuber dormancy, Hippeastrum bulbs and watch polysevshuyu poinsettia, the Decembrist (aka Schlumberger) - just your choice! Besides the traditional colors can be purchased beet rastyushku with white, red and even beige flowers.
In principle, all that is needed for abundant blooms Decembrists - a very moderate watering and fertilizing. I like the color? Please click the "Thumbs up" in response to a channel and subscribe!
