Screw tree.pandanus

In my opinion, Pandanus is a gift for lovers of unpretentious, fast growing indoor pets.
The birthplace of this evergreen plant is Southeast Asia. With age, it takes the appearance of false palm with long (60-90 cm) leathery leaves. Trunk pandanus seems twisted due to leaf scars located on the helix, which gave the plants the second name is a screw palm tree. The room rarely blooms. Well suited for spacious halls (edges of leaves and the middle veil from below are covered with strong sharp spikes) and winter gardens. After 10 years, under favorable conditions, the pandanus can reach 1.5 m. The cascade of child sockets is very decorated with false palm.
Grow Pandanus is easy to even beginner fans-flowers. Best of all he feels in bright or slightly pronented place. Optimal to place the plants of the window from Western or East side (in the summer on the windows of the southern direction, Pandanus protect from direct sunlight from 11-thousand to 17 hours). But it must be borne in mind that with a lack of illumination, the leaves lose strength and bend.
In the summer, the plant can be taken out to open air into a protected area, drafts and rain. So that Krone does not grow one-sided, the pot with Pandanus is recommended to turn frequently. At all seasons, the plant prefers no less than +15 degrees, but the most suitable - + 19-20 degrees.
In summer, Pandanus is poured abundantly, between watering the upper layer of the substrate should dry. It is impossible to allow earthen kits. A good result gives lower watering with warm to +25 degrees, water. After half an hour after watering, excess water from the pallet pour. In the fall and winter is watered two or three days after the top layer of the soil gets up. Water for watering uses soft and well-defined, it is desirable that its temperature be 2-3 degrees, above room. Dust from the leaves wipe a slightly damp cloth from the base to the top so as not to be hurt about the spikes.
The air roots formed on the plant cannot be cut. From March to August, Pandanus feeds with floral fertilizer every two weeks, in the fall and in winter - no more than once a month.
Transfer
Young specimens require an annual transplant, adults every two or three years. The plants have very fragile roots, so I recommend to roll. The substrate is made of ferrous, leaf land, humus and sand in equal shares. Drainage in a pot arrange a third of the height. It is important to remember that when planting a plant in no case cannot be plugged - plant at the same level. Fresh soil is added every year or, if the level is sufficient, replaced the upper layer, without transplanting the plant.
Pandanus spread the daughter sockets that are cut and dried during the day. Soot them in the sand to a depth of 2 cm, sprayed and covered with a package.
