The flower has an attractive appearance and is not exacting to growing conditions: it is enough to observe the watering regime and know how to transplant zamiokulkas. Therefore, the plant very quickly became popular with gardeners and garden specialists.
Most often, it is when transplanting a plant that flower growers have questions, so in this article we will tell you how to correctly transplant zamiokulkas.
Transplant after purchase
After you have purchased the plant, it should be left in the apartment for a few weeks to give him time to acclimatize. When the flower adapts to the new conditions, it is necessary to transplant zamiokulkasa after purchase.
Experienced gardeners advise to replant the purchased plant before the first watering, because the soil used to transport zamiokulkasa does not allow it to fully saturate with nutrients and moisture.
It is necessary to transplant the flower, even if it is in the flowering stage. Most likely, buds will fall after this. But this will allow the plant to adapt quickly to new conditions.
Transplant of zmioculcus
When transplanting a plant, several important rules should be remembered:
- Firstly, this flower is very fond of warmth. Therefore, the best time when you can replant zamiokulkas - this is the warm season: late spring or summer.
- Secondly, the frequency of transplantation directly depends on the age of the plant. Young specimens are moved to a new pot once a year. And adult plants can be transplanted much less often - every 2-4 years.
- Third, when transplanting zamiokulkasa at home, you need to correctly pick up the soil. Best of all, this flower grows in dry sandy-stony soil. Under these conditions, the roots are open to air, which has a positive effect on the development of the plant. If you do not comply with this condition, and put zamiokulkas in a hard ground, then its roots may begin to rot, and the plant itself degrades.
- Fourth, you need to choose a suitable pot or pot for transplanting zamiokulkasa. It is best to choose a clay pot. Because the root system of the plant in the period of active growth is so strong that it can deform or even break the plastic pot.
