Aspidistra.
Aspidistra has recently appeared on sale in flower shops, but has already successfully won the love of connoisseurs of indoor plants. It attracts attention with its beautiful luxuriantly growing foliage. The color scheme can be either pure green, or with white or yellowish stripes.
It is noteworthy that the aspidistra tolerates shade well, so it will not be difficult to place it in the room. But it should be noted that plants with variegated leaves still need light. Aspidistra leaves are often used in making bouquets. Aspidistra is native to Southeast Asia. There are more than a hundred varieties of aspidistra growing in nature, but only one species is suitable for indoor crop production. It is called aspidistra tall and it happens both with pure green leaves and with white stripes. The leaves grow directly from the rhizome on small stems and are a small lush bush.
Aspidistra is unpretentious in care, if you create the necessary conditions for a comfortable existence. As mentioned above, this plant is shade-tolerant, does not tolerate scorching sunlight. In the summer season, the temperature of the contents should be in the range of 20-22 ° C, and in winter 15-17 ° C. If the temperature is 10 °C in winter, then new leaf growth will be stimulated in spring. In the case of very high temperatures, the plant begins to dry out and the leaves turn yellow. You should at least try to ensure high humidity by spraying and washing it in the shower. It is necessary to water the aspidistra regularly, without overdrying or waterlogging the soil.
To preserve the beautiful healthy appearance of the plant, it needs to be fed. The optimal time for fertilizing the soil is the period of plant growth, which falls in early spring. Once every two weeks it is necessary to apply top dressing in the form of mineral fertilizers for ornamental and deciduous plants.
Since aspidistra grows very quickly, it needs to be transplanted frequently, approximately every 2-3 years. Usually, the transplant is carried out in the spring, and the transshipment method is used so as not to damage the earthen lump. She does not need special soil, any universal one, bought in a store, or harvested in the garden, will do. Drainage is required in the planting tank.
Since aspidistra grows well during the growth process, it can be propagated by dividing the root system. When transplanting with a knife, the rhizome is divided into pieces with 5-6 leaves and planted in a new pot. After the transplant, they are not fed for a month.
Aspidistra is resistant to pests, however, sometimes the leaves are affected by spider mites or scabies. They need to be combated with insecticides.
