Vriezia - home care, how vriezia blooms

Vriezia is an ornamental perennial plant with bright paniculate inflorescences native to South America. Unlike other tropical "guests", this indoor flower is rather unpretentious. The main thing is to provide him with the necessary conditions for growth and development. It can be kept at home and in the office, it fits organically into any interior.

Home care

This plant grows well without outside interference, at the same time, it often requires attention. How to care for the vriezia flower at home:

This plant is native to exotic countries.

· Abundant watering;

· Artificial creation of partial shade in summer;

· Pruning;

· Transfer.

The recommended location of the flowerpot is next to the window (the plant responds well to ventilation), but away from steam heating batteries.

The flower loves acidic and neutral soil, but does not grow well on soil with an alkaline reaction. So that the water in the pot does not stagnate and the roots do not rot, it is necessary to lay drainage in several layers at the bottom. It is recommended to use a special soil for indoor plants so as not to infect vriezia with diseases and parasites.

Lighting

It is best to place the pot on an east or west window. In the summer, you need to create artificial shade so that the leaves do not get sunburn. There should be no drafts in the room.

Temperature regime

Vriezia flower loves warmth. The recommended air temperature in the room (or on the balcony, where you can take the pot in the summer) is from 23 degrees.

The plant loves light and partial shade

If the house is cold in winter or autumn, you should periodically turn on the heater. In this case, watering becomes more abundant, because any heater dries the air, which adversely affects the development of the flower.

Humidity of soil and air

Warmth combined with high air humidity have a beneficial effect on vriezia. Prolonged stagnation of water in the soil can lead to dangerous fungal diseases. The same applies to the stagnation of liquid in the rosette of leaves, where water is poured in when watering.

After watering, it is recommended to loosen it so that the moisture is better absorbed.

To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to carefully remove excess moisture from the outlet using a microfiber cloth once every two to three days. The recommended watering frequency is up to three times a week.

How to transplant a flower

Vriezia transplant is one of the main care measures. First, drainage mixed with charcoal is poured into a new pot, then the vessel is filled with soil by three quarters. Next, the flower is carefully placed in a new place and the pot is covered with earth to the brim. The final stage of the transplant is abundant watering.

How to divide vriese

Florists often think about how to divide the vriezia. For reproduction, the flower is removed from the vessel. Shoots, each with its own root, are separated from the mother plant with a sharp knife and sent to dry.

The main thing when transplanting is not to damage the roots.

After a day, they are placed in new pre-prepared pots with drainage and soil.

Correct pruning

Vriezia home care is timely pruning with the removal of dry, deformed leaves and inflorescences. This event should be carried out after the end of flowering. To form a plant, peduncles, dry leaves and deformed shoots are cut.

Pruning has a rejuvenating effect on vriezia and is an effective prevention of the spread of diseases, pests and parasites.

Vriezia Splenriet

This variety has become widespread in Russia relatively recently. Under natural conditions, it grows on tall trees and thick branches. All nutrients Vriezia receives from the atmosphere through the leaf socket. In botany, such plants are called "epiphytes".

Description of the plant

Vriezia Splenriet attracts attention with its compact form and beautiful flowering. Outwardly, this variety resembles Vriezia Era - the most popular variety among domestic florists. Its bright orange elongated paniculate inflorescences look like bright lights. You can recognize this variety by the following characteristic signs:

• Elongated light green leaves up to 35-42 cm in length;
• Compact tight leafy rosettes, shaped like an unopened bud;
• Scarlet bracts, living up to two months (in contrast to the rapidly fading "panicles");
• Transverse stripes on the leaves of a lighter shade than the main leaf blade.

Splenriet is one of the most beautiful varieties

This variety has the informal name "fire sword" because of the characteristic appearance of flowering "spikelets". In its natural habitat, it lives in the tropical jungle, in a humid and warm climate.

Bloom

The Vriezia Splenriet flower is rather large. Elongated "spikelets" can grow up to 1 m in height. They are orange, less often yellow. Blooming at home lasts several days, maximum - a week. After wilting of "panicles" bright red bracts please the eye for a long time.

Usually the time of flowering falls on the cold season, so in Europe this plant is often considered "Christmas" and "New Year". Together with the death of the peduncle, the life of the leaf outlet ends. At this time, the plant needs increased watering; you can carry out additional feeding with complex mineral fertilizer for indoor flowers.

A dying adult specimen leaves young shoots, this is how Vriezia multiplies. Young shoots are transplanted into another pot and they begin to develop.

Care

Splenriet vriezii growing and care is, first of all, maintaining the proper temperature regime. This variety is one of the most thermophilic and sensitive to cold and drafts. The recommended soil composition is turf, garden soil for indoor plants and river sand. Additionally, you can add charcoal as a natural adsorbent, as well as powdered pine bark. The first transplant is carried out only two years later. Young shoots are grown under plastic wrap to create a warm and humid environment.

Vriezia Mix

Experts consider the Mix vriezia to be the most unpretentious type. If such a vriezia is planted on the windowsill, care usually comes down to maintaining an optimal temperature and humidity regime. Feeding is rare.

Mix is ​​a long-lived variety

The list of basic care activities includes:

· Watering two to three times a week;

· Loosening;

· Pruning;

· Preventive spraying to protect the flower from diseases, pests and parasites.

This variety can be grown from seed. To do this, pour a mixture of sand and peat into a transparent plastic container. A seed is placed on the surface and a little sprinkled with earth. Every day the container is opened, the soil is sprayed with a spray bottle. The first shoots should be expected in two weeks.The main thing is to maintain a sufficient level of air humidity. If the soil is dry, no shoots will appear.

Sometimes the leaves of this variety become spotty and acquire a brownish tint. This is a sign of a fungal disease. In this case, regular spraying with industrial fungicides will help solve the problem.

Description

You can recognize the Mix variety by the following features:

• Large rosette of regular round shape, like a funnel;
• Spotted or striped leaves in several shades of green;
• Inflorescence similar in shape to a peacock feather;
• Thin elongated peduncle.

To get the most of the sunlight, Vriezia wiggles the leaves so that they are always at right angles to the natural light source. The spikelets of the Mix variety can have a variety of colors: from bright red to lemon yellow. Flowering lasts for several days. This variety is artificially bred and does not occur in the wild, so it grows and develops better than other varieties at home.

Top dressing is carried out only in the summer, one or two times per season is enough. Vriezia Mix does not tolerate transplantation, so you need to handle the fragile root system very carefully. It is known that the roots of vriezia, despite fragility and vulnerability, very rarely suffer from fungal infections.

The main thing when growing Vriese is warm air all year round and the absence of sudden temperature changes. If it is often cold at home, it is better to plant any other flower. Plants in a sunny window grow faster than those in the shade. The only drawback of Vriezia, in comparison with other tropical "guests", is the short flowering time.
