It is still not clear why very few people keep the azistasia plant at home, and indeed in the plots. Azistasia is quite unpretentious in terms of flower care. With its beautiful flowering, this plant can become a replacement for other flowering ornamental crops
Just like many plants, with good and sensitive care for them, azistasia blooms incredibly effectively. This flower has about twenty different species. These varieties were brought to us from the tropics.
The azistasia plant is a common, permanently green, shrub-like flower that can grow to about one meter in height. It has straight shoots and elongated oval green leaves. Lamellar leaves with a tip at the top along the edge are fixed to the stem. Shoots die off every year from above, but fresh buds remain. Over time, the base of the trunk forms. The formed plant already looks more like a tree.
The owners of this plant take care of it only for the sake of its beautiful flowering appearance. Its flowers are more reminiscent of our field bells. The plant blooms in two colors, these are purple and white. Each flower, the size of which is five centimeters in diameter, is organized by a racemose inflorescence, the length of which can be from twelve to twenty centimeters. The plant blooms regularly, causing a sea of emotions for those who see this beauty.
Little is known about azistasia as of a houseplant, but there are some skills in growing it, acquired by growers who happened to keep a flower in their home. The plant responds adequately not only to home content.
The most common land is suitable for growing. The container for azistasia should be wide and spacious, because the roots of this plant are powerful and become larger and heavier every year. In the bottom of the pot, you need to make one layer of drainage, as experts advise.
Azistasia does not require constant, abundant light. But in order to achieve good results, the plant does not need very bright daylight. Direct rays of the sun are permissible for him. In summer, the temperature for this plant should not exceed twenty-five degrees Celsius. In autumn and winter, the permissible temperature is not lower than eight degrees. If the temperature drops sharply, the plant may shed its foliage. The plant goes into dormancy in September and remains in it until February. This is hardly expressed in any way. At this time, azistasia does not need to be fertilized, and the number of waterings must be reduced.
During flowering, the plant needs regular watering, but is neutral towards humid air. It grows well in an ordinary room, in which the air is very often dry. It does not require additional pollination.
Azistasia can be fertilized with the most common mineral fertilizer for home flowering flowers. You need to start feeding in the spring, and finish only in the fall. You need to carry out the procedures periodically, about twice a month, or be guided by its appearance.
At a time when the plant is actively growing and developing, with abundant fertilization, very large shoots can grow in azistasia. In order to give the plant a beautiful shape, it must be cut and tied regularly. The best time for this kind of procedure should be tracked down on your own. Each plant at this time develops flowering buds in its own way. Young bushes are transplanted every year, and grown ones every three years. It is best to acquire a new container for a plant wider and deeper.
In the tropics, the propagation of azistasia occurs with the help of seeds. Their plant scatters around the perimeter next to itself for a short distance. But at home, people have adapted to propagate the plant with the help of shoots that remained after processing. In principle, caring for this plant is not difficult. It can be said even not whimsical to the special conditions of detention. But some rules must be followed. Azistasia can live for many years even with its most inattentive owner, who will forget about watering, and indeed about the plant itself. But, nevertheless, a plant is the same living creature on earth as we are, and it should be remembered and taken care of, otherwise, once forgetting, this can lead to the death of the pet. Azystasia is one of the beautifully flowering succulents born in the tropics, which is popular in many countries around the world.
