Dichorizandra royal is one of the plants in the family called commeline. In Latin, the name of this plant sounds like this: Dichorisandra reginae. As for the name of the family of this plant itself, it will be like this: Commelinaceae.

Features of the care and cultivation of royal dichorizandra

The plant will need to provide either sunlight or partial shade. Throughout the summer period, it will be necessary to provide the plant with abundant watering, and the air humidity at this time should be kept at an average level. The life form of the royal dichorizandra is a herbaceous plant. This plant is quite often found in winter gardens, as well as in indoor conditions. When growing in rooms for a plant, choose either western, or eastern, or even southern windows. However, if grown on southern windows, it will be necessary to provide the plant with a little shading. In addition, the royal dichorizandra is also grown as an ampelous plant either in hanging baskets or in wall pots, and the plant can also act as a ground cover crop in flowerpots in which rather large sizes grow: for example, such as other dracaena or ficuses.

In culture, the maximum height of the shoots of this plant can reach from forty centimeters to one meter. The plant needs either an annual transplant or a transplant once a year. This is due to the fact that the root system of the plant is rather weak. Dichorizandra royal should be transplanted into rather wide, but shallow pots. It is recommended to deepen the rhizome of the plant itself into the soil by about two to three centimeters, due to this circumstance, the formation of taller and stronger shoots will be stimulated.

As for the composition of the land mixture, it will be necessary to prepare the following soil: one part of sod land and sand, as well as two parts of leaf land. The acidity of the soil can be either neutral or slightly acidic. It should be remembered that the roots of this plant will react extremely negatively to overdrying the soil mixture. In addition, this plant ages rather quickly, while the decorativeness of the royal dichorizandra is also lost. For this reason, it is recommended to perform a short anti-aging pruning once every two to three years. A substitute for such pruning can also be the annual pinching of plant shoots.

During the autumn, as well as the winter period, the leaves of this plant can turn yellow and fall off. The plant itself should be kept almost completely dry throughout this time, and in the springtime, watering the plant should be carefully resumed. In the event that the air humidity is below sixty percent, the royal dichorizander can also be affected by a spider mite.

Throughout the entire dormant period, it will be necessary to ensure the optimum temperature for growing the plant at about sixteen to twenty degrees Celsius. Watering at this time should be fairly rare, and the air humidity should be kept at an average level.

Reproduction of royal dichorizandra most often occurs through cuttings. To do this, you will need to position the top of the shoot, on which there are leaves, vertically, and in addition, to place the lower part of the shoot horizontally. In this case, the cutting itself should be covered with soil by about one or two centimeters. It is noteworthy that sometimes the reproduction of a plant occurs by dividing the bush, as well as by sowing seeds.

It is important to remember that in the development of a plant, direct sunlight, as well as low air humidity, can be extremely rejected. Especially during the period of active growth, air humidity should be maintained at around seventy-seventy-five percent.
