Zamioculcas is a representative of the flora, which was first found in East Africa. This plant is able to survive even in very difficult conditions. Adult zamioculcas can reach a height of more than one meter.
This representative of the flora is distinguished by beautiful shiny leaves, is actively cultivated as a houseplant and has very interesting flowers. Zamiokulkas adorns the
interior of an office or apartment. However, to achieve its flowering is not so simple. For the plant Zamioculcas, reproduction during transplantation is the best way of breeding. When buying this representative of the flora in the store, he should be transplanted into new land. This need is due to the fact that the soil in which zamioculcas is transported from abroad does not allow air and moisture to pass through. Therefore, the plant lacks nutrients.
Zamioculcas can be
transplanted at any time, even if it is in the flowering phase.
The soil
To plant a plant, you need a soil mixture, which includes leaf and turf soil, peat, humus and sand in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1. When humus is added to the soil, the nutritional value of the soil increases, which favorably affects the growth and development of this representative of the flora.
Landing and transplanting
Each year it is necessary to transship young plants. It should be done correctly: it is impossible to destroy the earthen lump, the pot should be slightly larger in size than the previous one, it is necessary to add new soil. Adult plants should be handled every two years. The main signs that indicate that it is time to start the transplant procedure: the shape of the pot changes (if it is plastic); the tubers of the plant begin to bulge out of it. For a successful landing, you must adhere to the following standards. The soil should be light, ensure the normal circulation of water and air, for loosening the earth, small expanded clay should be in place, there should be a hole in the tank for draining water, drainage should be laid on the bottom. When transplanting, it is possible to carry out the propagation of zamioculcas. Transshipment of plants is done in spring. Tubers cannot be buried entirely. With annual transshipment, zamioculcas grows and looks wonderful. You should take care of the plant in rubber gloves, since this representative of the flora is poisonous.
Zamioculcas: reproduction during transplantation
When transplanting, you need to get rid of the old soil. For the plant Zamioculcas, reproduction during transplantation by the method of dividing the bush is optimal. All the roots of the representative of the flora must be freed from the soil. When choosing a new pot, you need to consider that it should have a slightly larger size than the previous one. It should have a drainage hole. For the Zamioculcas plant, reproduction must be done so that when the bush of a given representative of the flora is divided, at least one growth point remains on each part. When dividing, roots and tubers can be damaged. The damaged parts are sprinkled with powdered coal and dried. A new plant is planted in small pots. Zamioculcas can also be propagated by cuttings and leaflets.
