Love and popularity with florists this flower has received due to its original flowering. The petals bent outwards and the delicate ribbed edge make the bloom special. If you are planning to try to grow gliroid at home, be prepared to shell out a fairly impressive amount of money to buy bulbs. Look for the largest planting material.
Flower of gliosis
Fortunately, the cash costs for buying bulbs are compensated by the ease of care and unpretentiousness of the plant. Below we will consider the main points and advice on growing gliroid at home.
- First of all, choose the right pot. It is clear that it is worth paying attention to stylish exquisite flowerpots in order to emphasize the beauty of the flower. As for the dimensions, they should be more than 20 cm. It is advisable to immediately mount the support in the flowerpot, as later it will be difficult to do: the root system is very easy to damage and stick the legs of the support can be dangerous. If planted in the open ground, the bulbs should be buried approximately 10 cm.
- We select for the flowerpot a southern window sill where the plant will feel most comfortable. A lot of sun is fatal for a flower. This applies to watering. Immediately after flowering, there comes a period of rest, when the flower is not watered at all. In normal mode, these are small portions every other day.
- Indoor flower glirosis can be propagated by tubers or seeds. For plants of this type, the seed method is rarely used due to its complexity and a low probability that as a result you will get a plant with exactly the same characteristics. In the case of tubers, everything is much simpler: after the flowering and drying of the upper part, the tuber is removed from the pot and the new ones are planted for planting.
- The only thing to which Rothschild's gloryosis is relatively demanding is to
temperature regime. If the temperature falls below 15 ° C in the daytime or 13 ° C at night, the flower dies.
In the process of care for gliosis, you may face some difficulties. Most often this is the result of incorrect content. For example, too slow growth and lack of flowering can be the result of a lack of sun. When the temperature drops too much or increases, the gliroid flower puts you in awe of drooping and slightly darkened leaves. With abundant watering, the leaves can turn yellow and droop. The enemies of Rothschild's gloryosis are the scab and aphids, which certainly provoke the emergence of diseases of a houseplant .
