Home cannes: care
Exotic plants look great on garden plots, but they are no less impressive to decorate a city apartment. Homemade Cannes is a great confirmation of this. Low-growing varieties of flowers are most suitable for growing at home. The main task for the gardener in this case is to find a suitable spacious place and container for the plant.
It is believed that caring for cannes grown in an apartment is much easier than for garden representatives of this species. When choosing a place for a flower, it should be borne in mind that it requires a lot of sunlight. The south side of the room is best suited. In summer, the plant will feel great on a glassed-in balcony or terrace.
A flower pot is usually used to grow homemade canna.
Lack of lighting can negatively affect the condition of the flower. In this case, the canna begins to build up its green mass and stops blooming. In addition, its stems lose their elasticity and become brittle.
During flowering, cannes need abundant watering, but you should not pour it heavily with water, as the roots of the plant may begin to rot. Feeding a flower with combined fertilizers for flowering plants is carried out once a month. It is also recommended to wipe the leaves to remove dust from their surface. Perhaps these are the basic requirements for caring for cannes.
Home cannabis care after flowering
Unlike garden flowers, indoor cannes have a dormant period of only 1,5-2 months, from January to February. By this time, the frequency of watering is gradually reduced until it stops completely.
After the leaves of the canna begin to dry, it is necessary to completely prune the top of the plant, leaving about 20 cm of the stem above the soil surface. This is necessary so that the flower does not waste energy on vegetation.
After trimming the leaves, the pot of the cana should be placed in a cool room with dry air. The room temperature must be maintained at 10-15 ° C. With the onset of spring, the rhizome of the plant can be removed from the ground and divided into parts for reproduction. Pieces of root with buds can be planted in flower pots or planted outdoors.
This way, you will not only keep your favorite plant, but also become the owner of many beautiful bright flowers. If the house has a terrace or a winter garden, the canna will look very harmonious in composition with other plants.
