Sometimes there is a wish for some moderate exotic. Often it leads to the fact that in the house there are different flowers, beautiful and reminding of tropics. Behind plant chamaedorea leaving is necessary special in the winter. Having sustained this season, it will please you with the abundant growth of foliage in the spring, in the summer and even in the fall.
Many continue to water chamaedorea in the winter as in the summer, considering that at us in apartments rather warmly. But it is necessary to remember: at us in shops not palm trees from tropics, and their versions which are grown up at us are on sale. It is necessary to reduce watering to minimum. Also for the winter it is necessary to refuse spraying and wiping of leaves. Let's remind that in summer conditions it is necessary.
Air temperature for chamaedorea has to be in the winter near plus of 16 degrees. It is big difference with summer conditions when it needs about 25 degrees. If not to support the necessary mode – in the winter at chamaedorea roots will decay, and she will get diseases which can be shown not at once, and in the spring or in the summer.
Fertilizing does not stop in the winter. The plant will need strongly diluted fertilizer. It is better to choose option in the form of solution and to use the minimum portion. In the winter one fertilizing a month suffices. Well fertilizers are suitable for palm trees.
Irrespective of season, the palm tree needs a lot of air. It is dangerous to expose chamaedorea on balcony in the winter, and will better air the room. It is necessary to do it regularly. But if the plant appears on draft – it will be for it pernicious. Also it is not necessary to allow temperature drop. It is very important to watch that air was not dry. In the winter in our apartments it is not rarity. But the turned yellow twisted leaves are not sign that the chamaedorea has fallen into hibernation. It is rather signal of drying. Moreover, because of dry air the plant becomes frequent the house for web tick. Besides, sometimes it becomes clear in the winter that at plant roots have too expanded. Many plant breeders hardly keep from desire to remove their surplus or to seat palm shoots as it is possible to do it only in the spring.
In the winter for chamaedorea there comes the inactive period. It ceases to grow and develop. It is not necessary to put it in the sun, there is enough place at the battery, but in tolerant limits. If leaves turn yellow – they should be cut off. It is also necessary to check whether has appeared at plant of fungal diseases. Unfortunately, fall of temperature does not mean that in such conditions the microbes cease to develop.
If nevertheless yellow spots have appeared, from soil the unpleasant smell proceeds – means, roots rot. It is possible to try to save chamaedorea, having disconnected healthy shoots and having powdered places of cuts with activated carbon. If because of warm or dry air the plant was made habitable by web pincers and shchitovka – it should be processed aktelliky.
