For a favorable cultivation of this plant, it is recommended to give preference to a solar light regime or a partial shade regime. With regard to watering, it is important to ensure that such watering remains abundant throughout the summer. At the same time, it is recommended to keep the air humidity at a fairly high level. The life form of pyzonia umbellate is an evergreen tree.

This plant can often be found in winter gardens and greenhouses, as well as in general premises: namely, in halls and offices, and besides that, also in indoor conditions. The plant can be grown on fairly wide windowsills, and also as an outdoor tub culture.

As for the maximum size in culture, the height of the umbrella pisonia can reach one meter, while the crown in diameter can be about one meter.

Description of the features of the care and cultivation of Pizonia umbrella

It should be noted that the root system of young crops will develop quite quickly, for this reason it is important to replant the umbrella pisonia every year, in the spring. It is recommended to choose a new pot so that it is two sizes larger, while the long roots of this plant should be shortened either by half or by one third.

It is noteworthy that those specimens that have reached the age of about five years will need to be transplanted much less often: about once every two to three years. As for the composition of the land mixture itself, you will need to mix one part of the sand, as well as two parts of sod and leafy soil. The acidity of such soil can be either neutral or slightly acidic.

It is important to remember that when pyzonia umbellate is kept in direct sunlight, its leaves can change color to yellow. Falling leaves of this plant can occur when the lighting is insufficient, and rather sharp temperature fluctuations in both air and soil occur.

This plant will develop favorably when the temperature regime is kept at about twenty to twenty-five degrees throughout the year. Overdrying an earthen coma can have an extremely negative effect on the development of pyzonia umbrella. It should be noted that this plant will branch on its own: in order to stimulate the branching of the umbrella pyzonia, pinching of the tops of the shoots should be performed.

In the process of growth of this plant, its trunk can be exposed, in fact, this is a completely normal phenomenon and does not reduce the decorativeness of the umbrella pyzonia. If the trunk is exposed, then this circumstance does not indicate inappropriate growing conditions.

In some cases, this plant is damaged with the help of a spider mite, as well as a mealybug.

Throughout the rest period, the optimum temperature should be maintained at about twenty to twenty-five degrees Celsius. Watering should be done in moderation at this time. In indoor conditions, such a dormant period will become necessary and will begin in October, lasting until February.

Reproduction of umbrella pyzonia can occur through rooting of green and semi-lignified cuttings of this plant. At the same time, the soil temperature should be about eighteen to twenty-five degrees of heat, and the conditions for a mini-greenhouse should also be provided.
