Features of growing davallia marieza
The plant is able to develop favorably under a partial shade light regime, while full shade is also permissible. In the summer, the plant will need a fairly abundant watering. In this case, the humidity should be high. The life form of davallia marieza is a herbaceous plant. As for the use of this plant, it is recommended to grow davallia marieza both in winter gardens and in display windows, as well as in florariums.
It is noteworthy that, subject to the development of the plant in culture, the maximum size of the davalli marieza will fluctuate between fifty and seventy centimeters. However, the diameter of the plant is usually much smaller. As for the transplantation of this plant, it is recommended to perform this procedure as soon as decay and compaction of the substrate occurs. However, a transplant may also be required in the event that the pot is filled with a plant. When transplanting, it is very important to handle the root system carefully; in no case should even the slightest damage to the roots be allowed.
Davallia marieza will need the following composition of the soil mixture: fern and sphagnum roots in a two to one ratio, charcoal will need to be added to such a mixture. It should be noted that it is quite possible to replace the fern roots and use instead small pieces of pine bark or any other loose mixtures that are intended for epiphytes. The acidity of such soil can be both acidic and slightly acidic. The tips and roots of leaves can dry out if the growing conditions of the plant are unfavorable. Such undesirable growing conditions include improper watering of the plant or dry air. It is noteworthy that davallia marieza can also be affected by scabbards.
During the dormant period, it will be necessary to provide special conditions for growing this plant. As for the optimal temperature, it can be either twenty degrees Celsius or slightly higher. Watering during the entire dormant period should be moderate, the same also applies to air humidity, which should also be maintained in an average state. It is noteworthy that when growing davallia marieza in indoor conditions, the dormant period will be forced and will last from October to February. Such a dormant period occurs due to the fact that there is a reduced illumination and low air humidity.
Reproduction of davallia marieza can occur both by division during transplantation and by sowing spores. Growing davallia marieza will require fairly uniform conditions throughout the year. In addition, the plant should be kept in a greenhouse.
It is noteworthy that the leaves of davallia marieza are endowed with decorative properties. This plant looks very attractive, while the plant can also be called exotic. The leaves of the plant are doubly pinnate, with sporangia on the underside of the leaves. In color, the leaves of davallia marieza are rich green, and the leaves are also shiny. Actually, these characteristics of the leaves make them an extremely attractive part of this plant. As for the rest of the decorative properties, it should be noted that the plant is endowed with a creeping rhizome, which is covered with hair-like brown scales. Such a rhizome will, as it were, "wrap around" the pot with the plant itself.
