Adenium is one of the few plants blooming in winter and pleasing bright colorful flowers not only me, but also numerous passers-by looking at my windows.
Right adenium from Africa, where it reaches very large sizes, getting enough sunny rays, and rare precipitation, which he accumulates in its coutex-trunk, provide it with water. For such qualities and brightness of flowers, the plant is called a rose desert.
Despite such ascetic needs and increased need for warmth and light, in the conditions of an apartment adenium successfully develops, regularly blooms, which speaks of his unpretentiousness.
Depending on the variety, the leaves differ. They are bright green, muddy color, grayish, in size - wide and narrow. The plant's stem is very unusual, and the most valuable copies with smoothly thickened trunks in the form of a bottle are obtained from seeds. Moreover, the older the plant, the more beautiful, the thicker and the increasingly branched is CaudEx, which is appreciated in adeniime on a par with the shape and painting flowers. True, seedlings do not always transmit varietal qualities. Adenium requirements are a bit - bright lighting, including the impact for several hours of the straight sun; Temperature above +25 degrees.
Very loves the plant to spend the summer outdoors. Therefore, in May, I will transfer my adeniums in a slightly large containers and get into the garden, choosing the most open place for them. For landing I use the usual loose universal soil for indoor plants, where I add some sand. In the summer I water in a day or two. Once a month I have a fertilizer for beautiful, using half of the recommended dose. In rainy days, honest under the canopy, since the flower does not like strong overvailing.
Reproduction
Seeds. It is better to suck at once. For sowing, it is preparing a lightweight air and a plumbing mixture: some sand, perlite or vermiculite add to the universal soil. I smell it with a layer 3-4 cm into transparent dishes, quite a bit of the pulverizer moisturizing water with the addition of one and stimulants (epin, zircon, ribav-extra). Over with laying the seeds, and horizontally, as it is easy to confuse, where they have the top, and where - the bottom. Then only slightly sprinkle with soil, I do not irrigate from above.
I close the capacitance with a transparent lid and put in a warm place + 25-30 degrees. The presence of light during germination does not matter, but as soon as it sprinkles, rearranged on bright lighting. After that, the main thing is the right watering (without pouring and not overhanging), which is very important for the tender root system. Once seedlings are growing, they can be searched into separate small containers.
Stalling. Since May, you can try to multiply adenium from cuttings. For this, three days before the procedure, we water the plant. Then cut cutlery through the root formation stimulator and dry five to six days. After that, stick into the loose, slightly wet soil and create greenhouse conditions.
This method not only transmits the varietal features of the plant, but also allows you to quickly enjoy the flowering of favorite "tristies". However, such a plant does not form a beautiful thickening of the trunk, as grown from seeds.
When on a blizzard street.
In winter, I define the place on sunny window sills. I water through three or four days. I do not feed. If there is no sunny window, you can also put on the windowsill of another orientation. But in such conditions it will take more rare watering and the temperature is not higher than +25 degrees.
"Congenital" bonsai
There is a very beautiful adenium in the form of bonsai, and in terms of content it is one of the perfect plants, since the need for constant irrigation disappears. The attractive type of crown Ade-Nium is attached to the chipper and trimming. Skillfully owning these techniques, a copy, grown from a cutken can be made quite interesting.
On a note:
The design of the private house is no less important than the design of the apartment. And if you yourself do not have a sense of style, it is preferable to contact a private interior designer. Harmony indoors, convenience and comfort contribute to a full-fledged rest, and everyone knows that work in the country area is always enough, and the rest is needed good. Private designer will help professionally place the room of the country house, where you will feel good not only from fresh air of the Capor, but also from the comfort of your cottage.
Gemantus Whitecellum - This plant appeared for me more than five years ago, gave a girlfriend. Grew hemantus in a half-liter pot, had 4 sheets, the core, apparently, contained a large percentage of sand.
In my opinion, for such a bulb (diameter 2 cm) the pot was big. Replanted did not.
Bonsai do it yourself - Think ourselves, can a real bonsai, grown and formed decades, cost less than one thousand rubles? Of course not. Even the plant, h "That is sold in Moscow as bonsai, worth up to three thousand rubles - this is also a good imitation under the bonsai. For fake, these plants can not be called. The most simple real bonsai is estimated over twenty thousand rubles.
