Amazing plant - Fuchsia. Care.

Fuchsia - a beautiful indoor flower, which pleases its owners with a long and beautiful flowering. It refers to evergreen shrub plants. The leaves of fuchsia are green, but there can be species with reddish leaves. The flowers of this plant can have different colors, they are usually several colors and shades.

Despite the fact that fuchsia is not too capricious, care of it is still necessary. It consists, first of all, in creating optimal conditions for it.

For this plant, the temperature is best from eighteen to twenty degrees. Although the flower can tolerate a brief increase (up to twenty-six to twenty-eight degrees), and a decrease (up to ten degrees). But if the temperature is a long time very high (more than twenty degrees) or low (less than ten degrees), then Fuchsia will start to discard leaves, as well as flowers, and may even die.

In the summer, it is desirable that fuchsia be exposed to fresh air. In August-September, the plant needs to be monitored more carefully, because at that time temperature changes begin. They are very poorly tolerated by fuchsia. Care at this time is to ensure that the plant is not subjected to strong temperature changes. In the summer, the flower may suffer from an insufficient amount of space in the pot and overheating of the roots. In this case, care for fuchsia should be as follows:

- the flower should grow in a large ceramic pot;

- the plant should not be constantly in the sun.

Fuchsia loves the sun, but in very small quantities, it is better that it be morning or evening direct rays. The rest of the day is best kept in the shady areas. On the pot with an earthen clod the sun should not completely fall. To do this, you can wrap it with white or beige paper. Only if these conditions are met will Fuchsia feel good, care of it will become more pleasant and uncomplicated.

Watering the flower should be as necessary, the earth clod should not dry up, otherwise the plant will wither and die. If the plant blooms in the winter, it is watered every two to three days. In the event that Fuchsia is in a state of rest, then water it only once a week. And if it is in a room with a low temperature, then it should be watered no more often than twice a month, but better one.

For the normal development of fuchsia, nursing plays an important role. So, it is necessary that the room and the plant itself are sprayed from time to time, that is, a certain humidity of air for this plant must be maintained. To avoid any special problems with spraying (perhaps you forget to spray or you need to go somewhere), you can use a pot of pebbles (any stones not very large) and pour a small amount of water into it. This capacity is best placed next to the plant, but you can not use it as a pallet. Thus, the humidity of the air, which is necessary fuchsia, will be maintained.

Transplant the plant should be annually. It is desirable to carry out this procedure in the spring (March-April). For the transplant, you can use garden soil or a prepared soil mixture for flowers. You can make the mixture yourself. This will require two parts of the garden land, humus - one part, sand - half of one part and the same amount of clay. All is well to be vymeshat. This plant is planted in this mixture. Drainage must be present, otherwise the plant may die from excess moisture.

Fuchsia, care for which is not particularly difficult, is increasingly being used to garnish indoor and outdoor spaces. It looks great in pot plants or in flower bed compositions.
