NOVEMBER AT BRACHYCHITON
«Бутылочное дерево» потеряло после зимовки много листьев. Prompt, how to care for him, to keep it decorative? Is additional lighting needed??
Svetlana POLOZKOVA, by email. mail
Brachychiton rock is very photophilous, but mature plant, spent the summer in good light, practically does not react to the reduction of daylight hours in the winter-autumn time and, thanks to organic matter and moisture accumulated in the thickenings of the trunk and roots, can easily do without backlighting.
But young or weakened - will react with leaf fall, and the newly growing leaves will acquire a juvenile linear shape. Openwork, palmately dissected leaves 7-9 appear in segments in adult specimens and only with sufficient light.
