Room flower Calatea requires special conditions. Therefore, before choosing a plant, you need to check your capabilities. The most undemanding is the Calatea Saffron, Macoa Calate and the Bachema Calatea.

It is necessary to deal with all the issues of care for the settlement step by step.

Watering

For Calatei, tough water is detrimental - it must be defended. Many flower products for these purposes apply rain or talu Water. IN summer period Plant Calatea demanding water. IN winter time Waters need less. If for some reason, the moisture is more than necessary, it is poured out of the pallet. If this is not done - roots may die.

Note. To mitigate water from the water supply system, you can use 2 hoods of peat. In the morning it is enough to filter.

When watering colors, you need to pay attention to the soil and the condition of the leaves. In the heat watered three times a week, and in the winter and 1 time it is enough.

Temperature and location

Flowers do not love high temperatures air. In winter, 16 degrees are enough, and in summer 18-24 ° C. It is advisable to maintain it constantly, since the differences adversely affect the flower - the leaves are withering and begin to rot. The pots are better to put away from drafts and light windows.

The best place will be a pronted angular place in which the flower will give a special color to the dull interior.

Humidity

Since the Calatea flower comes from tropical countries, it requires high humidity Environment:

• It is possible to moisten the air by spraying or wipe the leaves with a wet wet disk (only plants with glossy leaves). When carrying out such procedures, it is necessary to know that the striped (zebrina) has just likes boiled water.
• It is possible to achieve the desired humidity in another way. In the pallet poured pebbles, on top. Water will evaporate slowly, and the pairs create the necessary microclimate.
• From time to time, water sprayed with a spray gun.

Varieties with velvety leaves can not spray. They are better to bathe under the shower twice a month. Dust remove with a dry napkin or tassel.

Lighting

Calatea is unpretentious to light, but it needs to be put in such a place so that the light day is as long as possible. The straight rays of the sun are destructive and burned.

If a good place is found, then, sublimation, the Sandyriana Calatea will delight not only bright leaves, but also with flowers. In order for saffron settlement blooming, it will be necessary to increase the day day to 10 hours. With a lack of light, the leaves are pale and fall.

What should be soil

Pick up the primer can be independently or purchase a ready-made composition in a flower shop. To this issue you need to come seriously.

Flower Caltage care requires a special one, in view of the fact that the roots are almost on the surface, and they are not incredible, but wide. So the pot must be wide enough to be sufficient. Otherwise, the soil will scatter.

Soil for Calatei in room conditions, I must skip the air well. Such a soil is needed by a flower in natural conditions. For this, the land in the pot is mixed with perlit, peat and sand. Most often this mixture is prepared:

• peat - 1 part;
• earth - 2 parts;
• sand - 1 part;
• in small quantities of sphagnum;
• the earth from the coniferous forest;
• crushed charcoal;
• dry korovyan;
• cigrinka.

Adhere to the weakness of the soil composition - pH 6. In the spring, when the abundant growth of the plant begins, it happens that the leaves dry and twist. So lack nutrients. In April, the first feeding starts, ongoing until August.

As a feeding, you need to use special fertilizers for decorative plants, without nitrogen and calcium. Carefully read the instructions: it is impossible to overflow!

When the plant starts to grow and stop the roots - the film is removed and provide usual care.

The reproduction is carried out at a temperature of about 20 degrees of heat. For small plants use small caspo. Soil poured such as for adult treasures.

2. You can use a sheet for reproduction. It must be put in the soil and cover the film. When a new plant is rooted, the shelter is removed.
3. Another way is the shilling. Sliced \u200b\u200bcuttings up to 15 cm long. It should remain 3-4 leafs and points of growth.
4. The cultivation of Calatei from seeds is a troublesome business, so it is rarely used. Seeds germinate at a temperature of from 22 to 24 degrees. The seedlings that appeared should be transplanted into small pots with the same soil.

Not less than 1/3 parts pot must be drainage It can be clay. In order to avoid damage to the root rot, the root rot on the drainage can be placed a layer of activated carbon tablets or a layer of charcoal.

The soil for landing should be loose, so they take ready-made soil for decorative and deciduous plants or make up the soil independently:

• sheet land - 2 parts;
• peat - 1 part;
• sand - 1 /
• the mixture is added slices of sfagnum moss, perlite or vermiculite, intertwined charcoal.

Temperature mode

Beautiful Culture Care Care requires at a certain air temperature. In particular, it is necessary to indoors in winter The thermometer was not lower than 16 degrees. Yes I. sharp drops Not for her, since the plant is painfully referring to such a phenomenon and may perish. Even a slight draft can lead to the rotten and lethargy of the leaves.

Shine

Despite the fact that the Care Care in relation to light does not require too sore and complex, it should be remembered that the plant needs to ensure the presence of a half. In particular, if you put it in a dark angle, it will not die. However, the leaves will lose their color, and will also become small and noticeably slow down. But too bright sun, namely straight rays, the settlement does not tolerate. The leaves can be seriously burning, and ugly yellow spots will appear on them.

Watering

Despite the fact that the plant loves a lot of moisture, it should be carefully produced. Requires customary care at home using prepared water. In particular, the rigid type of moisture is not suitable. Best option will be thala or rainwater. If we talk about the very perfect versionthen for watering it is warm water. In the hot period of the year, moisture should not regret moisture. But in the winter it is best watering to reduce. Otherwise, the roots will occur.

Air humidity

Despite the fact that the plant is quite often found at home on the windowsill, not many know that the Care Care in this case requires more than attentive. This is especially true of air humidity. This indicator should reach 90%. At regular home conditions, it is quite difficult to achieve this characteristic. Therefore, many flowers prefer to raise flower in aquarium, terrarium and other similar places.

In the event that the Calatea grows on the windowsill, it is often necessary to spray it or wipe the leaves with a wet sponge. This procedure also requires to take into account some nuances. In particular, producing spraying, it is necessary to moisturize the territory that is around the plant. Water drops that will fall on the leaves can cause the appearance of ugly spots. For spraying, water is suitable with a temperature of at least 25-27 degrees.

Podkord

To feed the settlement from the first days of April to the end of August. To do this, use special fertilizer in liquid form. The feeding is made twice in 30 days, but it is not necessary to get involved, since the plant is sensitive to the rebuilding of the dust. In this case, it can slow down in growth, as well as the leaves will acquire an unsightly appearance.

Replancing the plant

Calatea is a capricious plant, and every two years it must be replant. It is necessary to produce this, also considering some nuances. Best do it in early spring Using drainage. In this case, if you have to purchase the finished primer, it is necessary to use a mixture that is intended for azaleas or for rhododendrons.

You can make a mixture for transplant and independently. To do this, it is necessary to use 1 part of the peat, as much huming and leaf land. There are 0.5 pieces of sand. Such a mixture will be ideal for transplanting Calatei.

Reproduction

The culture described is a very beautiful plant. That is why many flower trees are trying to propagate it, but for this requires a flower of the settlement care is quite attentive, as the reproduction process itself. Most often, this occurs by dividing when transplanting the plant. The temperature of the air during the division should be 20-22 degrees.

Small plants need to be placed in a pot, the diameter of which is 7-9 cm. For this procedure, it is necessary to prepare the soil in advance. In equal shares, peat, sand and leafy land should be mixed. Sprouts that have roots must be replant in pots having a larger size than the previous one. At the same time, the soil must be prepared as for an adult plant, but only sand must be used not 0.5, and 1 part.

Despite the fact that adult government care at home requires more than attentive, young plants are even more capricious. For them, it is necessary to provide a temperature equal to 22-24 degrees, but at least 20. The plant must necessarily constantly water and spray. In no case do not put the pot on the windowsill, where there are straight sun rays, and also do not remove the plant in the shadow. Small flowers need to feed 1 time in three weeks. About a year later, the plant can be transferred to large pot, and the Care Care can now receive as an adult plant.

Another way of breeding

Modified the culture under consideration can not only with the help of the division method. The use of seeds is also common. Like all domestic flowers, Caltage Care requires quite attentive, reproduction with seeds is a more laborious process. Before making landing material, it is necessary to prepare the ground. To do this, it is necessary to use 1 part of the leaf land, as well as 0.5 parts of the sand. Seed seeds in this mixture. Temperature should be 22-24 degrees.

Basic plant disease

Even if the Care Care at home receives according to all nuances and features, these plants can often manifest a different kind of disease. The most common disease is that when the leaves dry and get yellowish. In order to exclude on time possible diseases, It is necessary to regularly inspect the flowers and determine the presence of diseases associated with diseases.

In the event that the ends in the leaves become dry and acquire a brownish color, then the problem can be in the presence of dry air. If the leaves become yellow, this indicates a lack of nutrients in the soil or about the overaffect of those.

Stunningly looks with a plant of Calate's photo. Care must be appropriate. If he was worthy, but there was a fallout of the leaves, then it is necessary to take care of the humidification of the flower or, on the contrary, to reduce the amount of moisture. Remember the rules of irrigation. In particular, the cost of care at home prefers in cold times with fewer water watering.

Among other things, the plant can be subjected to adverse effects of the pawless tick attack, mathematical Cherweet and whiteflies. That is why it is necessary to carefully monitor the flower condition.
