When the threat of return frost passes, take pot and tub specimens outside (oleander, laurel, myrtle, Japanese medlar, etc.). Those pets, that you spent the winter with +10-15 city., better to send to fresh air, when at least +8-10 city. If the wintering temperature was higher +18 city., exhibit in the 2nd decade of June.

Leaves must remain dry. Cut off stems with faded flowers at the base - only then the plant will give new buds. Feed once a 2 weeks of liquid complex fertilizer, using 1/2 recommended dose.

Repeat the procedure again 1-2 times with an interval 2-3 weeks. Pinching (pinching) need, to induce, instead of apical growth, increased development of lateral branches, as well as for crown formation.

ACTUALLY NOW
При выносе с наступлением устойчивого тепла растений на улицу приучайте их к прямым лучам и ветру постепенно, даже если в доме они стояли на южном подоконнике без притенения. Сухие белые точки и пятна на листьях (иногда с черной каймой) — необратимый солнечный ожог.
На открытом воздухе цветы становятся доступны вредителям, so treat them with broad spectrum systemic insecticides ("Aktara", "Confidor", Apache, "Mospilan"), которые длительно защищают независимо от дождей.
Поливайте растения утром. Обильный полив вечером и похолодание ночью могут вызвать водянку: у антуриума и фаленопсиса — небольшие водянистые пузыри на листьях, у крассулы и каланхоэ — коричневые бородавочки на нижней стороне пластинки.
Кактусы увлажняйте обильно после полной просушки грунта. В пасмурную погоду лучше отложить полив.
