Decembrist (Skluberger) - a popular room flower blooming on the eve of Christmas holidays. Often the flower is called a Christmas cactus or Siegocactus. His bright and abundant bloom attracts attention and causes delight among others. The flower is unpretentious in cultivation, but sometimes it happens that the Decembrist does not bloom. What is the reason for the lack of flowering? Consider 5 major errors, because of which the Decembrist does not bloom in winter.
Lighting
- Decembrist - a plant from wet rainforests, which prefers a bright place and scattered light.
- The lack of light during the day of the day does not allow to limit flower kidney. Also, artificial lighting is not negatively on the tie of buds.
- The Decembrist badly tolerates intense sun rays. In the daytime, the flower needs to be protected from bright sunlight. From the bright sun, the leaves of the Decembrist acquire a purple shade and deform.
Incorrect temperature
One of the main levels of room flower errors is a temperature of the temperature regime:
- Decembrist does not tolerate drafts. The optimal temperature for the growth of the flower is 16-20 degrees. When the root system is overcooling, the plant will begin to fade.
- In a too warm room, the flower will not bloom, since in the tropics where the plant comes from the thick branches of shrubs and trees, coolness reigns. High air temperature indoors, above 20 degrees brakes the flowering of the Decembrist.
- For the formation of buds, the flower should be indoors at a temperature of 12-14 degrees.
Too spacious pot
A common mistake in the cultivation of the Decembrist - planting a plant with hanging branched shoots in a large pot or container. It is worth remembering that the flower has a small root system, and a large amount of soil, absorbing water, saves moisture for a long time. Excessive humidity is detrimental for buds. In a small pot, it is easier to maintain the necessary flower soil moisture. Also, a large amount of free place in the pot contributes to the development of the root, and the plant slows down on time.
Wrong watering
Excessive humidity, as the rare watering, do not contribute to the flowering of a tropical plant, which in the natural medium does not receive a sufficient amount of moisture.
- In winter, the Decembrist should be watering 1 time per week, preventing the complete drying of the top layer of the soil.
- Rare watering lead to drying leaves and flower kidney.
- However, in the summer, during active growth, the Decembrist requires a sufficient amount of moisture. It is preferable to spend the flower spraying to allow moisture to be absorbed not only roots, but also leaves. In the fall, during the period of rest, watering the Decembrist is reduced.
Sharp changes in the conditions of cultivation
The Decembrist poorly tolerates transplantation, permutation and any changes associated with the departure of the flowering plant. It is difficult for him to adapt to new conditions, so you cannot carry a pot with a flower from place to place, twist it. To the Decembrist bloomed - leave it alone, providing optimal conditions for growth and abundant flowering. Frequent permutations, sharp changes in temperature and lighting lead to stress, to which the Decembrist reacts with a dropping of buds and grinding growth.
The Decembrist is an incredibly beautiful flowering plant, whose beauty is revealed with cold winter. Lush, a bright flower decorates a boring window sill and makes a part of the heat in the dwelling in the spring. Observing all the rules for care for a tropical guest, you can easily achieve abundant flowering of the Decembrist every winter.
