HOME FLOWERS – WINTER TO A NEW PLACE!

It's time to determine all plants suitable places for the future winter period..

Light-loving specimens (cacti, echeveria, milk, anxiety, kalanchoe, fat women, aloe, chlorophytums, agave) leave on the southern windowsills. Shade tolerant (ferns, monstery, syngoniums, peperomias, etc.) place in the background: on the tables, coasters, whatnots, cupboards.

Optimum temperature for some species, wintering in the cool: lantana chamber, nightshade rantonetti - +5-15 city.; common pomegranate - +5-8 city.; cassia corymbose - +1-10 city.; brugmansia - +5-18 city.; erythrine cockscomb, European olive - +2-8 city.; figs, laurel noble - 0-+5 city.; common oleander, date palm - +5-10 city.; bougainvillea, chrysanthemum shrub, citrus - +8-12 city.; passionflower +5-12 city.

The most cold-resistant plants (conifers, agapanthus, hydrangeas) can be stored in a basement at a temperature +2-6 city. Moisten the soil substrate for about 1 once a month.

It is permissible to cut a hibiscus strongly stretched over the summer. (sometimes almost 1/2 heights). Pinch the side shoots slightly. First pinch (slice, shoot tip removal) the plant should be, when the shoot reaches length 8-10 cm. Then the grown hibiscus is pinched again.

At the same time, it will bloom more abundantly., after all, the laying of flower buds and their development occur on the shoots of the current year (at a temperature not lower +20 city.). Usually, from the moment of the first pinching to the beginning of flowering, a hibiscus takes about 3-3,5 months.

To align a tilted instance, stick a metal rod into the pot (can be painted green) and tie the plant to it with a soft eight-string twine.

It's too late to make a change, but if necessary, pass with the preservation of an earthen coma. Hibiscus like a lot of light, so don't keep them in the shade.
