Genus
Ficus (Ficus) of the mulberry family is represented by evergreen and
deciduous trees, shrubs and woody vines , which , according to various
estimates , there are between 800 and 1,000 species. In
some places they grow are tropical and subtropical regions located in
Africa , Asia , America, Australia , where natural conditions, these
plants reach enormous size .
Leadership on the prevalence of cultural ficus Ficus elastica belongs . Also of note is more popular Ficus benjamina , Ficus lyre , Bengali and Ficus Ficus dwarf .Ficus - cultivation and care
Ficus is a very demanding to the temperature and the content does not make a sharp temperature gradients . The most optimal mode for it is the temperature of 25 ° C in the spring and summer, and from 16 ° C - in the winter.
Location ficus should be as light as with a lack of coverage of their branches begin to reach for the light, they become longer internodes and reduced the number of leaves . The ideal place for a pot with a ficus is the space near the eastern and western windows. In winter, it can be arranged , and on the south side , but in the summer in this area will have a ficus pritenyat that the plant did not suffer from direct afternoon sun . However, the move ficus too often not to drastic changes the situation did not cause the falling of the leaves. Also, it should be protected from drafts.
Ficus need to ensure even watering throughout the year that the summer has become abundant . For watering , use a soft, warm water, let stand for at least 12 hours. In the case of tree- species important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings , ampelnye forms should be watered more frequently. If the plant does not receive enough moisture , the yellowing of the leaves and will fall off that , for example, small-leaved species can cause death. However , over- watering can also lead to a fall off the leaves and root collar rot .
In the summer of ficus should be fed every 15 days, any organic fertilizer for houseplants. Winter feeding should be carried out not more than 1 time in 2 months. During the period of active growth , use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content are driving the growth of leaves in winter on the contrary , the excess nitrogen is undesirable to ficus has not started to grow in low light. In the first two months after the transplant it also does not need to feed as new soil contains all the essential plant nutrients.
Ficus very well perceive spraying, but you need to use only a warm, boiled water is better , in order to avoid the leaves of white lime . Spraying can be carried out even once a day. From time to time you should wipe the leaves with a damp sponge .Ficus - transplantation and reproduction
Ficus transplant carried out in the spring. For young plants this procedure should be performed annually after age 5 rubber plants are transplanted every 2 years for the old plants kadochnyh interval between transfers is about 3-4 years. To prepare the soil mix for transplants take equal parts of compost or manure, humus , turf , sand and peat land ( transplanting large wood specimens share sod land should be increased ) .
For reproduction figs used semilignified apical cuttings and leaves . For this purpose , pre- wash with a milky juice of the cutting , it should be put into the water and place in a sunny window until the roots, or to instill in the sand or in the water at a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees.Ficus - diseases and pests
If ficus begin to turn yellow and fall off the leaves , so it lacks the nutrients and should be transplanted to more fertile ground .
Premature leaf fall , the appearance of yellow spots on them , or yellowing of the leaf margins suggests that the plant is suffering from excess moisture. Hence, the soil should be given the opportunity to dry out between waterings.
If you have a ficus in a room with too dry air , or pritenyat it from direct sunlight and do not provide him with adequate irrigation , the leaves are wrinkled . In this case it is necessary to ensure optimum plant watering and regular spraying .
Sudden defoliation can talk about wetting the soil ( if it is a ficus elastica and lyre ) , lack of light or a sudden change of climate ( in Ficus benjamina ) . In addition, the reason for this could be the use of cold water for irrigation , the low temperature in the room , the lack of light , an excess of nutrients in the soil or the plants stay in the draft . Eliminating these reasons , usually leads to the normalization of the plant.
Delayed transplantation or transplantation in poor soil , lack of fertilizing or breach of temperature and light regimes may cause leaves to fall off completely stripped trunk.
Too high room temperature , dry air or excess fertilizer can cause the appearance of brown spots on the tips and edges of the leaves.
Also, rubber plants may be affected by pests : thrips and scale insects . To get rid of them , wipe the leaves of the fig sponge soaked in soapy water and then treated with any systemic insecticide plant .
Follow these simple rules , you can grow a beautiful house plant that is known for its good energy and brings home not only beauty, but also the comfort of home and rest.
