Zamioculcas care

Zamioculcas is very easy to care for, but you still need to know a number of points about the care. We will tell you a little secret about the care for such an elegant plant.

First of all, you need to know that it is succulent. The care for it resembles a cactus. The only and sure way to kill this plant is to overfill it. By the way, the plant will give you a hint. The leaves always look up at a slight angle. If the plant spreads its branches, then it shows you the frequent waterlogging of soil. Also, with a strong overdrying, the plant will wrinkle the trunk.

Anyway, it is better just to spray it once again than to water it. The gardener has such a rule. If you doubt whether to water the plant today or not, water it tomorrow and just spray it today.

The transplantation to the new soil is rarely done. The plant begins to grow up largely only after it has completely braided the roots inside the pot. With each new leave, its length will be higher and higher.

You should use the same fertilizer and soil as for cactus. It contains all necessary elements needed for this plant. But you can also use universal fertilizer. Fertilizer is applied once a week and in the period from October to February every 2 weeks. Zamioculcas loves the shower so you wash away all the dust from the leaves and it becomes glossy again. If this is not possible, then there is a special polish for plants. It protects the leaves not only from the dust, but also from pests. Although Zamioculcas belong to plants, which are resistant to pests and diseases, it is always better to do prophylaxis.

The plant propagates by dividing the root or branches. The only thing is that in the second case you will need to wait about 2 months for root formation.

Zamioculcas is a great gift. It fits perfectly in any interior, giving it charm and wealth.
