Description of the features of the care and cultivation of vriezia brilliant

For a favorable cultivation of this plant, it is recommended to transplant on a regular basis. It should be noted that in the case of brilliant, such a transplant will be required about once every two to three years, while it is recommended to use standard size pots.

As for the composition of the land mixture itself, it should be loose, light, and also moisture and air permeable. To prepare such a mixture, you will need to mix one part of sphagnum and three parts of fern roots, you can also mix peat and charcoal in equal proportions, and in addition, a mixture of one part of sphagnum and one part of tree bark is also suitable. The acidity of such soil can be either neutral or slightly acidic.

If the leaves dry out and their tips turn brown, this will indicate excessively dry air. When the temperature is very low, some parts of this plant can rot. In some cases, a defeat of the brilliant vriezia can occur by means of a mealybug and a scabbard.

Throughout the rest period, it is important to maintain a temperature regime between eighteen and twenty-two degrees of heat. It is noteworthy that at this time, watering should remain moderate, and the air humidity should remain standard. When the plant grows in indoor conditions, the occurrence of such a dormant period is forced and this should be associated with an insufficient degree of air humidity, as well as with low lighting.

Reproduction of Vriezia brilliant can occur by means of seeds and with the help of lateral young shoots. As for the seeds, they should be sown either on filter paper or on sphagnum. For propagation by shoots, you should pick up those that have managed to reach half the growth of the mother plant.

It is noteworthy that brilliant vriezia, like other epiphytes, should be grown either in baskets or in small pots, the diameter of which will be about seven to fourteen centimeters. It is recommended to cover the surface of the soil with a layer of sphagnum or crushed bark, which is done in order to keep the moisture better. Frequent spraying is very useful for this crop, but in the summer period, it is recommended to fill the rosettes of brilliant Vriezia leaves with water.
