If you are looking for a flower suitable for a living room with medium light, I will introduce you to this Umbrella tree. This plant is from Australia and belongs to the Araliaceae family. The leaves are light green, shiny and leathery, and the petioles are long. With three petals and then their number reaches 8, its height in the mainland and in the open-air reaches three meters. The main branch is available.
Requirements:
the light: It needs indirect light, move the pot to the morning sun every once in a while. If you put the pot on Greenhouse Decor plant stands where it can get more light in the living room then you won’t have to be worried about the light.
New leaf sprouts!
Temperature:
The maximum temperature is 27 degrees Celsius in summer and the minimum temperature is 18 degrees Celsius in winter. If the temperature is higher than usual, gentle airflow is needed. In case of cold and heat, the upper leaves become dull. You should water and warm or cool the air.
Watering systems:
Between waterings, the soil should dry out. Reduce irrigation in winter. In overgrowth cultivars, over-irrigation and root suffocation cause root rot and black spots on the white price and leaf overgrowth. Dip one foot into warm paraffin, pausing between layers to allow them to dry. Of course, this blackness is also due to the narrowing of the pot, which you should enlarge if it is too tight.
Root rot caused by excessive irrigation
Humidity:
Spray twice a week throughout the year, if the air is dry, adding water to the pebble pot will create stable moisture. If the air is dry, the plant will lose its freshness. If brown spots form, stop spraying and the island makes it under the pot.
Nutrition:
Pots with water-soluble fertilizers not solid! For ornamental flowers, feed according to the instructions recommended by the manufacturer once every two weeks.
Suitable soil:
The best soil is ready for Dutch planting, a combination of peat moss, perlite, leaf soil and cocopeat and a little sand!
Pot replacement:
The young growing plant needs to change the pot twice a year, with the increase of the plant age every year or every two years, if it is not possible to replace the pot, replace the surface soils with new and rich soil. If the plant height is too much, it needs a guardian. When the roots come out from under the pot, the pot should be changed, and one of the signs is that the plant no longer grows and despite all the conditions, the leaves turn yellow!
Cleaning the leaves:
Spraying is enough to provide moisture to keep the leaves clean, do not use chemical brighteners. But if desired, it is recommended at most once a month.
Reproduction:
Rooting cuttings and sowing seeds in spring
Complications and treatment:
The number of leaflets of young leaves is small: it is normal, when they reach the stage of maturity, their number reaches 7 leaflets. The pot will look much nicer on a plant shelf indoors.
White cotton swabs have appeared on the leaves: the cause of the insect is the drop of Ardalood weevil, spray twice a week with Confidor insecticide to relieve the symptoms.
Brown spots are seen on the stems, petioles and underside of the leaves: Spray the underside of the leaves with penetrating insecticide and after 48 hours clean the stains with a special brush.
The leaves are malformed and sticky and green insects are seen on them: Spray the pests with infiltrating or absorbing poison according to the instructions every week to eliminate the symptoms.
The leaves are yellow and the underside is spider web: it is caused by a small red tick, spray the plant with an acaricide once every 14 days to eliminate the symptoms, spraying is effective in reducing the drop.
The stems are long and crooked and the distance between the leaves is long: the air is very hot, move the pot to a cooler place full of oxygen. Do not spray.
The plant is withered and the leaves are hanging: the plant is thirsty, put the pot in a pan full of water for 15 minutes, do not forget to spray daily.
The leaves are pale and yellow: the lack of elements in the soil of the pot is evident, make up for the deficiency with artificial nutrition every 2 weeks.
The leaves turn yellow and fall off: Irrigation is too much, let the soil surface of the pot dry between waterings and then water, visit the drain, drain the water under the pot using hand made pot stand.
How to clean the leaves:
Spray the leaves regularly and if the leaves are spinning, hold the leaves with your left hand and clean them with your right hand with a damp cloth or cloth. If necessary, use a polishing agent at most once a month
