Zamiculkas decorates windowsill of many owners. He was loved for the appearance and ease of care. The flower is absolutely unpretentious and well feels like on the sunny side and in the shade. In our article, we will tell how to transplant Zamokulkas, as well as reveal the secrets of the flower care for better growth.
When do you need to transplant indoor flower?
Many hostesses refer to a dollar flower or tree. When such a plant appeared in your house, the question arises, about the need for its transplantation. Note that the flower grows very slowly (except if you do not add fertilizers for growth), so it must be transplanted 1 time in 3 years. A transplantation is to ensure that the root system of Zamokulkas is even more strengthened. Also, the reset procedure is committed:
- immediately after purchasing a flower (Zamiculkas is sold in small pots in a special, temporary substrate. If it is not transplanted into a new soil, the plant may die);
- when the flower did not reach the 5th anniversary, it must be transplanted each year (it is desirable to carry out the procedure at the same time);
- zamiculkas became a weak root system (when you noticed that the flower leaned, it does not withstand the weight of the leaves, the transplantation is committed as if, regardless of the time of year);
- in the soil, parasites started;
- the plant lost an attractive appearance (the leaves are yellowing, fall, rot, etc.).
The favorable time of the room flower transplant falls in mid-April-beginning of May.
We select a pot and soil
The material of the flower pot may affect the effective growth of the plant. Most often, the hostess turn to the appearance of the tank and do not at all think that artificial material can "kill" a young flower. During the choice of pot, please note:
- in the ceramic and clay pots, the root flower system dries quickly, so the moisture is not delayed (in pots from such a material of the root will never rot, they will be well strengthened);
- if you acquire a pot of plastic, then its walls must be thick;
- necessarily the presence of a drainage opening;
- pick the volume of the pot according to the size of the root system of the plant (do not take too much capacity for a young plant, in such a pot it will grow very slowly);
- the re-transplantation of the flower should be carried out in a pot, which will be more than 10% of the previous container.
No less important is the selection of the substrate. Specialized stores sell adapted soil for Zamokulkasa. Also such a substrate can be done at home:
- 1 option - in equal proportions (according to the volume of pot) mix leaf, delicate, peat land and add sand (it is important that it is not with clay impurities). The resulting mixture is poured with boiling water or kept in the oven at a temperature of more than 100 degrees 30 minutes. This procedure is imperative that pests are destroyed;
- 2 Embodiment - the forest and garden land is mixed in equal proportions, adds purified sand and humus. The procedure for the destruction of pests produce in the same way as indicated in 1 option.
If you did not find a special soil for a dollar tree in the store, you can purchase a substrate for cacti. As the practice of experienced rabbies shows, the flower in such a substrate feels much better.
We carry out transplant
Despite the fact that Zamokulkas does not bring care to care, but during the transplant will have to work a little. It is necessary to carry out this procedure very carefully, since there is a chance of damage to the roots.
- 1 step - Drainage (ceramzite, gravel) is put on the bottom of the new pot, fall asleep prepared substrate and make a recess;
- 2 step - carefully remove the flower (roots of the plant should be in the old earth), the transplant is carried out by the transshipment method;
- 3 step - manually grab the soil, fixing the plant;
- 4 Step - Transplanted Zamoculkas can not be poured immediately, it is cleaned into the shadow per day.
