Somehow I gave me a pot with almost the victims of Eschinatus. Only six stalks of 5 cm long with a length of 5 cm can be saved. Saving them into the powder of charcoal and corpering, rooted in a mixture of peat and sand under a glass jar. In a month she landed everything 
together in one suspended pot.
For several months, the plant did not give signs of life (there was winter on the street). I regularly sprayed with a solution of epine and as the soil dried out. To the flower did not affect dry air from hot batteries, a plastic bag was put on a pot in which the hole was done by hot mat.
At the beginning of the spring, young leaflers rose on each branch. Brightly raspberry tubular flowers began to appear in the late spring-early summer. This year, almost all twigs of my handsome were covered with dark bootons even in October! The plant seemed to thank for the correct care.
The optimal temperature for Eschinantus is +24 degrees.
The plant prefers a well-lit place away from direct sunlight. In the shade may never bloide!
In the period of active growth, I water abundantly, maintaining the constant humidity of the soil. In winter, it should be only slightly wet.
Drafts are not allowed. Significant temperature fluctuations and irregular irrigation can lead to reset kidney and flowers.
From spring to autumn, every second watering combines with a comprehensive universal fertilizer.
The crushed plant is not more often than once every 3 years. I highly recommend to the universal soil add a mixture of peat, pieces of charcoal, crushed moss of sfagnum and large sand.
Possible problems
- The leaves are falling in the winter - the room is too low.
- The leaves fall out in summer - perhaps the lack of moisture in the soil.
- The tips of the leaves are yellow and dry - indoors are too hot and dry.
- Light spots appeared on the leaves - excess light.
- It grows too slowly - there is not enough nutrition.
- Attach the bases of the stems - in the soil excess moisture.
Attention! It is very important not to flood the plant, from the convergence of Eschenuts can get sulfur with gray rot. In winter, it is necessary to take a break between watering so that the surface of the soil sinks for several centimeters deep into. During the rest period, you can water only once a month if the air temperature is not
above +16 degrees. But the high level of humidity must be supported throughout the year! About diseases and pests Typical pests of Eschinant-sa - Shields, Chervers, Tlla, Cellites. Watch out its "hair" more often - it is very thick, and view the first signs of no wonder.
I have long been using the following method of prevention (it allows you to increase the immunity of the plant): I laugh in 1 liter of water 10-15 drops of eucalyptus oil and spray the crown monthly.
At the first signs of the appearance of a spider tick, I wipe the leaves on both sides with a solution of Zoosha Punya (1 cap by 0.5 liters of water). Then knead the warm running water.
If, near the pet, and on the back of the sheet, you discovered the lumps of "white wool", which means that a mild cherry was attacked on the plant. You can remove it with a rut dipped in alcohol.
After that, the plant needs to be labeled under warm running water. Processing should be repeated with an interval of 7-10 days before the disappearance of pests.
The main condition for good well-being of Eschinantus is high air humidity. In an effort to maintain it, remember: it is impossible that when spraying the water falls on the plant flowers, otherwise they are black.
