Meet, zmiokulkas!
Someone likes flowering plants, someone, on the contrary, prefers deciduous or cactus plants. However, among a huge variety of forms and species there are such indoor flowers that are enjoyed by all lovers of home flora. For example - zamiokulkas zamielistny (in common speech - ZZ). This plant is very unpretentious, does not require special conditions of life and care, but it is very beautiful, imposing in size and very impressive looking both in a fashionable, imposing living room, and in a small, cozy corner for rest, and in a personal ladies bedroom. You can go on vacation and do not water it for several weeks. You can put the zamiokulkas women's happiness (the second name of the flower) in the winter garden, where it's cool enough, or placed far from the window in your office - this will not be reflected in the state of the plant. It will be as fresh, healthy, with a bright, rich green. By the way, about the name! In feng shui it is believed that this flower is responsible for the two most important components of our life. Firstly, it helps to find a beautiful sex, to find love, to create a family (attracts suitable male candidates), and to those who are married, to strengthen good, warm relations with her husband. Secondly, zmiokulkas female happiness, like a fat woman, stabilizes in the family finances, supports a good material level in the house. And if they say "money tree" on a fat woman, then the ZZ tree is a "dollar tree".
Appearance
What else, besides the Spartan way of life, attracts ZZ professional landscapers, flower growers, as well as all fans of vegetable decor? First of all, quite an original appearance. Zamiokulkas female happiness consists of a barrel of completely non-standard "construction": it rather resembles a root-tuber and is in the flowerpot, in the soil. It is there that he stores the right amount of moisture during irrigation. The earth prevents its rapid evaporation - because the flower easily tolerates drought. On the surface are raised cuttings with leaves. They look like a trunk. Leaves are elongated, dense, leathery. The stem grows close to each other and resembles a rosette. However, they appear rarely, as the flower grows rather slowly. Zamiokulkas also begins to bloom in a rather "advanced" age. On the arrow at the base of the leaf there appears a kidney-ear of pale lime color, covered with a "coverlet" from the sepals. The plant reproduces in the adult state by dividing a large bush into several, or by a leaf method.
Conditions of detention
The original birthplace of the flower is the African tropics. Therefore zmiokulkas female happiness does not frighten the burning sun and lack of water. And, although in dim lighting ZZ feels quite comfortable, bright, sunny places they are still welcome. But what the plant does not tolerate really, so this is excess moisture. Therefore, during watering, it is better to drain the water from the pan. As for the composition of the soil in the flowerpot, the most suitable will be a mixture: chernozem or garden soil, sand and turf - in equal proportions.
Decorate your house with this wonderful plant, and let your family prosperity and peace!
