With the advent of the New Year holidays, on the eve of theChristmas, a green miracle blossoms on the window-sill - a forest cactus with bizarre flowers, named in the Latin language of the slumberberger. Care at home for this indoor plant is not so burdensome, so the flower attracts the attention of many amateur flower growers. In the people, the smokerberger is called a Decembrist or a Christmas tree, because the period of its flowering is at Christmas. Although sometimes it departs from the rules and blooms in January, and even in February.
The pot is better to choose a wide, but not deep,since the flower has a superficial root system. At the bottom it is necessary to lay a decent layer of drainage, because the stagnation of water does not like the slumberberger. Care is meant regular with moderate watering. Fill the plant can not, because they begin to rot roots, to allow the drying of the soil is also not worth it, so you need to water when the top layer of soil is slightly dry.
In September, it is necessary to reduce watering, becauseindoor flower ceases to grow. It is during this period that it begins to prepare for the flowering of the locberberger. Care at home requires the night temperature to decrease to + 17 ° C, because only under such conditions flower buds will be laid. Moderate regular watering resumes as soon as buds appear on the plant. You can also give fertilizing in the form of mineral fertilizers for beautifully flowering indoor flowers. The pot should not be twisted and rearranged during budding and flowering, compliance with this condition is very important.
