GASTERIA BORODAVCHATAYA: ZIMOVKA

Winter Gaster

My warty Gasteria spent the whole summer outdoors. The succulent plant loves the sun and prefers to grow in the southern, southwest, southeast and west window sills. With the onset of heat, I take the plant out into fresh air in cloudy weather, but not for long, I teach to the sun gradually. When I grew only in an apartment, never had burns, from which the leaf turns white, dries up and the plant loses its decorative appearance.

Summer, in direct light, dark green leaves take on a brick shade, which gradually disappears in the fall.

WINTER GASTERIA IN COOL

In winter, I provide the plant with a temperature of about +10 city, and from November to January I do not water. In February, to wake up, I start to spray with warm water, then - water.

FROM MARCH I feed (on wet ground) times in 2-3 weeks fertilizer for cacti or universal in dosage, in 3-4 times less than the recommended.

Thanks to the dry, cold wintering, Gasteria begins to lay flower stalks in the spring.

IF GASTERIA WINTERS IN THE WARM

Now I have no opportunity to provide a cold winter. At a higher temperature, I move gastria close to the window pane. I water poorly once a month, I do not feed. As a result, she stopped blooming..

And then summer holidays on the street came to the rescue. As soon as the temperature is set from + 10 degrees, and higher, no rains, I put the plant out the window. Such conditions of detention contribute to flowering.

This year, the formation of peduncles fell on a sharp cooling with rains., and they dried up. In bad weather I put the plant under a canopy or bring it into the apartment, so that the roots do not rot.
