What is this plant
Zamioculcas is an evergreen plant. The leaves are dark and glossy, reaching up to a meter in length. Once every five years, the money tree blooms - a light ear appears inside it.
It can be propagated in several ways. All of them are simple and accessible even to a novice grower:
- By dividing the tuber.
- By cuttings. For this purpose, take a stem with one leaf and one bud. Before planting, the slice is kept open in the air for about 60 minutes.
- Leaves. Cut from the plant and dust the cut with activated carbon. It is left in this form for eight hours, and then planted in the soil for succulents and cacti. A drainage layer is placed at the bottom of the pot - expanded clay and sand.
The best place for a plant indoors is a south window. The plant loves fresh air and does not like bays. Watering zamiokulkas should be through the pallet after the top layer of earth in the pot dries up.
With good care of the flower, if its owners do not forget to moisturize it correctly and in time, give him the right amount of sunlight, but also do not leave the plant under the scorching rays, he will answer good.
