If the Decembrist blooms violently in December, the family will have plenty of money all year round, stimulate flowering in all possible ways.

Beautiful view from the window always pleases the heart and soul. Unfortunately, in our rather cold region, it is not often possible to observe the greenery of grass and trees. You have to live in the “Jungle of Home”. They look particularly beautiful. Decembrist on a snowy white background. This plant is deservedly popular with us.



At the same time, the appearance of a flowering vase can be improved! Make sure there are even more buds on one escape. If you try, each segment will be crowned with two or even three delicate flowers. It looks amazing. Of course, some knowledge and even trickery will be required. But the result is worth it: a beautifully decorated window sill will always lift the mood of the diligent hostess.

So, there are several ways to achieve abundant flowering in the Decembrist twice a year. The first is more “people’s”, and the second is suitable for any lazy person. However, no one can guarantee 100% success. First, let’s talk about a more reliable method.



The Decembrist, or Schlumberger's scientifically, must yield freeze. Plants, like people, become much stronger and more resilient if they live in difficult conditions. A good workout for the vase will be a low temperature. After all, the main purpose of his life is to release flowers. The more energy it stores for this process, the better.

From the beginning of the summer, you need to keep the Decembrist on balcony. Fresh air and coolness will already lay in it strong makings. But if the balcony faces the sunny side, constantly keeps the temperature high, you will have to find a place with a larger shadow. If everything goes according to plan, we leave the schlumberger in the fresh air until the winter. Only when the strongest frosts begin, we take the plant home. The subzero temperature for them is death.



In the process of such "hardening" Decembrist lays a good start for flowering a large number of buds. More comfortable temperature conditions will make the flower snow. Its juices and nutrients will be distributed to the growth of branches and the formation of new segments. A large bush is good, but from the Decembrist we expect exactly lush flowering.

If you monitor the health of the plant on a cold balcony is simply lazy or, perhaps, there is not enough time and patience, we recommend another way. We'll use conventional fertilizers. The Decembrist responds well to any kind of feeding. But even then, you need to know how to feed the flower. Fertilizers “for succulents” or “for cacti” will not give the maximum result. They're certainly useful.



But it is best to apply to decembrists fertilizing marked "for bloomers" or "for decorative bloomers." And we have a scientific explanation for that. This is it. phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. In the case of fertilizer "for cacti", the first and second element is more. In the case of “flowering plants” there are not so many of them, but there is a sufficient amount of potassium. That's what we need.

Phosphorus and magnesium help the measles system develop. This is a good sign, we will not argue. But it encourages the plant to spend its energy in the wrong place. We're interested in flowers. Accordingly, an abundant amount of potassium will lead to the desired results. Fertilizer needs to be applied twice during the period when we harden the schlumberger. The result will be visible even if the plant spends its entire life on a warm windowsill.



First. We're going to use fertilizer in early autumn. You need to get to the period when the temperature will begin to decline rapidly after the summer heat. So we cannot write specific numbers, it all depends on the temperature of the year. Second Feeding should be carried out at the first signs of the appearance of buds. Small beads at the tips of the segments. If you see them, take up the fertilizer.

The dosage is standard and should be written on a leaflet with instructions. Usually it is 10 ml of substance per 1 liter of water. Mix and water. Nothing special.



If you follow all the instructions on the packaging and follow our advice, you will not recognize your plant in winter. It'll be sturdy, stocky. No spider-like branches sloppy hanging from the windowsill. And the abundance of beautiful, bright colors will fill the heart with joy and pride for the work done. No doubt it'll work. You just need a little patience and the will to do the right thing.
