In a note it is described as correctly to look after houseplants.
In January it is necessary the majority of houseplants hardly
In January it is necessary the majority of houseplants hardly. Even in spite of the fact that days become a little longer and the sun in our region starts to shine brighter. After all colds by the peninsula don’t pass at this time, and heating in our houses leaves much to be desired. So necessarily it is necessary to watch that plants, as a rule, located near windows which are blown by frosty winds, felt still comfortably.
At strong colds if there is a possibility, it is good to warm up in addition in the evening those rooms where there are plants most sensitive to cold. Without this precaution the temperature can go down at night on some degrees and do them considerable harm. Well and if colds don’t recede and to warm a room properly it is not possible, it is better to remove in such days especially gentle plants from window sills and to put them closer to the room middle. After all in frosty nights near windows the temperature goes down especially strongly, the earth in pots is cooled, roots feel chilly, and some plants can simply be lost.
And here during room thaw where there are plants, it is necessary to air. However, and during this period of sensitive pets it is better to transfer to other room. By the way, if colds keep long, without airing too not to manage, only not so frequent.
Watering during winter time – a subject separate. Except for few plants, natural which time of flowering falls on January, and also subjected to a vygonka, all the others stay in a condition of absolute rest. It is better to keep these "vacationers" in the dry soil, than in damp, without leading up, however, the earth to a full prosykhaniye. The exception makes unless the most part of cactuses and other juicy plants demanding at this time full dryness of the soil.
So, houseplants in January water seldom but if water, do it thoroughly – so that water impregnated all lump and filtered through a water waste opening on the pallet. Naturally, for watering it is excluded fresh, and furthermore – very cold water. On the contrary, it should be by all means is warmed up.
As well as in other season, pottery plants need purity and timely removal of the dried-up branches, and also the spoiled, faded leaves. If it to treat carelessly, on plants parasites can lodge, and large leaves will become covered by a dust layer harmful to them. Therefore don’t forget monthly, or at least time four in a year, to wash leaves from both parties with warm water. And more often sweep off a dust a peryevy metelochka.
By the way, not to forget and about health of those green lodgers which owing to their endurance send for the winter in a cellar or other cool room. These, so-called cold and hothouse, or simply "cold", pottery and kadochny plants too demand the share of cares. After all in winter months they are capable to dry up, and even to freeze. Rooms where they are, in thaw it is also necessary to air, opening windows in the afternoon. Vacationers of a bulb and tubers doesn’t prevent to see well. If decay is found, this part needs to be cut out at once, and places of cuts to powder with a coal powder.
Well and still council for those who is engaged in a vygonka of spring flowers. In January it in the heat. In living rooms expel early hyacinths and tulips, lilies of the valley and other perennial grassy plants, and also early vygonochny bushes. All these plants are desirable for holding constantly moderately damp, to water with only warmed-up water, and bushes also to spray. If for early flowering prepare hyacinths, them, as a rule, have in glasses and put between a double glazing. On the threshold of very cold night they are better for transferring to a cool room or it is simple to rearrange on a window sill that glasses didn’t freeze and not polopalis.
