This compact plant is notable for, what is easy to care for, developing rapidly, suitable for bonsai culture, can bloom and bear fruit up to six months. There are also a number of other advantages.

CARE

Moisture-loving, but during the heating period I follow, so as not to overflow, given the state of rest. At the slightest violation of the watering regime, the plant drops its leaves. Although it recovers just as easily. Periodically give him a shower.

It is hard to bear and the heat, and cold. Therefore, it is better to stick to the temperature range - +18-23 city.

REPRODUCTION OF ALIXIA

It is difficult to propagate by cuttings, so I sow seeds. They take a long time to rise, but amicably. the main thing, to be fresh.

Plant substrate: a mixture of leaf and sod land, peat, sand (1:1:1:1). In summer, I cover the surface of the soil with a layer of expanded clay, so that it does not dry out so quickly. Be sure to loosen the ground between waterings.

I love to grow low alixia, therefore I do not transplant her. Annual transplantation required for maximum height. Then it is enough to replace the topsoil: take off 2-3 cm (to the roots) and add nutritious soil (even peat). After such manipulations, I do not feed the plant for a month..

The rest of the time, feeding - once in 2 weeks with complex mineral fertilizer for indoor crops.
