Garden and room yucca. Plant transplantation

Many amateur gardeners confuse the yucca with dracaena, deceived by pointed dark green long leaves. Indeed, these plants have a similar appearance, although they are not related. Yucca comes from America, but for a long time already it has been decorating our garden plots and city flower beds. She is unpretentious, so caring for her is a complete pleasure. There are two types of yucca: indoor and garden. The first grow only at home, and the second can survive a slight frost, so they grow outside.

Watering, fertilizing fertilizers is, perhaps, all that the yucca requires. The transplant is carried out no more often than every two years. Palms that grow on the street have dense leathery leaves that perfectly retain moisture, in the beginning of summer they bloom with beautiful white flowers, intoxicating their unique sweet aroma. They can tolerate both frost and heat, but those who are susceptible to a drop in temperature are houseplants. Yukka aloeletic and ivory refer specifically to such spoiled flowers, so they can only be grown at room temperature.

Transplanting the plant is not so difficult, but still this procedure requires some responsibility and caution. The fact is that the flower has a very sensitive root system, it can cause illness of a plant such as yucca. The transplant can be carried out only in the spring before the flower begins to grow actively. In order not to damage the root system, it can be transplanted into another pot directly with an earthen lump. For young plants, it is necessary to select large containers that allow the roots to grow. Adult plants do not require large pots, so the volume can be increased by only a couple of centimeters.

If it is clearly visible that the yucca is sick, the transplant is carried out only after a careful examination of the roots of the plant. The soil is carefully removed and if there are dry or rotten roots, they are immediately cut off. In order not to infect the root system, the cut off sections are sprinkled with wood crushed coal.

In order not to stagnate in the pot, a small layer of expanded clay should be laid on the bottom, then pour in the soil, put the yucca and fill it with earth, slightly ramming. A mixture of turf and leaf earth, as well as sand - this is the substrate that loves the yucca palm. Care for her will not produce any result, if the plant does not provide nutritious and easy soil.

The yucca needs rest for the first week after the transplantation, it is better to put it in the penumbra, from time to time spray. At a temperature of 20-25 ° C and watering with soft standing water, the plant will soon release the first young leaves. Complex fertilizers are what the yucca responds to very well. The transplant is very well tolerated by the flower. If the plant is already grown, it does not make any sense to constantly transplant it, it can grow for 20 years in the same pot and at the same time feel great.

Garden yucca is best transplanted in the spring in the morning or in the evening, when the sun can not damage it with its scorching rays. For this, a large hole is dug out, which is thoroughly filled with water. Then a plant is placed there, which is grounded to the root of the neck. To yucca quickly took root in a new place, it should be watered. Care for the flower is quite simple, but to please with its beauty it will be for more than one decade.
