It started acquaintance with resuscitation. Girlfriend gave me alocya in a very poor condition. Four pale lifeless leaf remained from the plant. The edges of leafy plates were in dry rusty stains. Alocation has been planted in the usual universal land. In winter, she stood near the cold window, which is contraindicated with thermal-loving aid.
First of all, I pulled it out of the pot and thoroughly cleaned the entire old soil with the roots. It turned out that alocation was simply translated after purchase together with transporting soil. The roots were healthy and white. I was ringed them in a strong mortar solution and dried with napkins.
Soil prepared Of these components: coniferous ground, the soil for violets, the operated koko-soil - all in equal proportions, slightly added a pine crust and vermiculite there. It turned out very light, fluffy, almost weightless soil.
On the bottom put clamzit Layer 4 cm with the addition of charcoal. Put a plant in a pot, carefully falling asleep the roots of the soil. Did not water the first five days at all!
The first watering was very scarce, And then - only after the complete drying of the soil. Old leaves Alokaziya dropped, but new long forced himself to wait. A month in the largest tuber wearing the shiny new sheet.
I put the plant so that there was no draft. All summer Alokaziya stood on the west window, where the sun peeped only after 17 hours, and become a real beauty! The onset of winter has transferred it to a lighted window - east.
Contrary to the advice of the book, I did not spray the Alokaziya. Noticed that after spraying, where is even a little bit of water, there are dry spots. So I wipe the dust from the leaves with a soft sponge soaked in boiled water.
When transplanting Alokaziya I like Svetlana, discovered small nodules. She, in his letter called them acorns-bumps. Lacking experience, I put them in the same pot, which has grown and mature plant. As time went on, but the nodules are not germinated.
Later learned that for better germination of nodules Alokaziya You can use the juice of aloe leaves. After all, long-known for its stimulating properties. So I decided to try it.
Carefully dug up from the soil nodulesnS. Put them in a halved aloe leaf, cover with the second half, he shook with cling film and leave for a day just on a shelf in the kitchen. Then, all nodules planted in individual disposable cups. Instead soil took pure coco-soaked ground. Moisten it and to create hothouse conditions, put cups in the package. It was the end of winter, and I decided to put the kids to the aquarium.
Lamp from him and gave additional lightingAnd heat. Air regularly landing and supporting ground in the wet state. A few weeks nodules began to sprout!
Once the first leaves have turned nodules, I planted in the soil as adults Alokaziya.
And recently I bought at a symbolic price in the store flooded Alokaziya Bambino. Two I was able to save adults tuber, they were rotten, but the third - came out. He had no leaves and roots. I laid him flat on the wet ground, covered with cling film and put in a warm place. When a couple of weeks there were roots, tubers planted vertically, and a new list appeared soon!
A small nodules, bumps let germinate on the already tested scheme. Again I soaked them in the aloe juice, and they successfully germinated. I have been assured that the aloe juice in this case is simply irreplaceable!
