Drazes fragrant.May be amazed. For prevention, it is necessary to apply a warm shower, wipe the leaves.

Drazen fragranus, densis or fragrant. Problems in growing:

• Dry tips and edges of leaves - Most often it speaks about dry air and weak watering. If such a problem appears, it is necessary to increase the amount of water procedures by increasing the leaf spray frequency, increase watering. You can also arrange more often for the shower plant, covering substatial package in order to prevent excessive moisture to roots.
• Yellowing leaves - This may be a consequence of natural die (the term of the individual sheet is 1.5-2 years, after that it gradually devies from), it concerns the lower leaves and this is a rather slow process. If you are worried about the yellowing of foliage in general and not separate lower leaves, it may be the first symptom that your plant begins to die due to excess moisture in the pot. In this case, you need to take action. The draping must be removed from the pot, dry the roots and remove those on which the rot is appeared and transplant to the new substrate. Also, the yellowing of foliage can talk about the opposite to the opposite that you forgot about your plant and it suffers from direct sunlight, change it to the location in relation to the window, or about the lack of nutrients In the soil, try using fertilizers.
• Lying Lying -the plant may be so reacting both to enter direct sunlight and the lack of light. If the leaves not only turned pale, but also lost their brightness and strips faded it means still fraud siny tired of shaders.

• Worse leaves -this is an indicator of both excessive watering and soil dryness. But this may be the same consequence of frostbite.
• Cropbed light spots on the bottom of the sheet -this suggests that you use low-quality watering water. In this case, it can be recommended to boil it, or filter.
• Twisting and blackening the tips of the leavesdrazes are fragile at long-term content at low temperatures.
• Flooding leavesmost often caused by insufficient irrigation.

Drazen - the genus of evergreen tropical trees and shrubs of the Sparezhye family, which includes more than one hundred species, many of which are widely used for gardening houses, apartments and office premises. DRATSEEN DRAKE - one of the most common potted varieties of the kind. It feels perfectly in terms of room content, pleaseing the owners with its spectacular appearance and absolute unpretentiousness to the conditions of cultivation.

Dracaena fragrant (Dracaena Fragrans) - a long-term evergreen shrub from the genus Drazena family of asparagus, which includes more than a dozen subspecies, whose natural habitat is hot African countries: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Nigeria, Cameroon and many others. In nature, the trunk can reach a height of 6 m, with room content usually grows not more than 2 m in height.

The scientific name of the genus, Dracaena, in translation means "Dragon's female". As the Russian name of the genus, the word "drazen" is usually used, but Vladimir Dalya in its dictionary is given another one russian name - "Dragonk".

The leaves of the Dracaena fragrances of a saturated green shade with a glossy surface, grow up to 1m in length and up to 10 cm in width. Each bordered along the edges of a wide band, the color of which, depending on the variety hesitates from pale green to bright yellow. Many people have a question: palm treason or not? In young plants, the leaves cover the stems completely, but as they grow from the bottom, they fall out, as a result of which the drasena becomes like a palm tree: the tops of high trunks are crowned with lush rosettes of greenery. Because of this similarity and confusion occurs, although there is nothing in common with these extends.

Flowering DRACEEN Fascinous looks very effectively: produces a long floral brush (up to 1 m) with a multitude of light green or white inflorescences, each flower has an unusually pleasant aroma, resembling the smell of fresh hay and honey at the same time. True, blooms drazes at home is extremely rare.

DRATSEN FRAGRANS: Home Care

African "Guest" is quite safe for room growing: it does not highlight any harmful and harmful and toxic substances, and not one part of it is poisonous. However, the juice from their green mass can cause digestive disorder, so a pot of green pet is preferably kept in an inaccessible for young children and animals.

To successfully care for the soul draprace, do not need special knowledge and skills. This plant is one of the most unpretentious among all representatives of the room flora. However, with some nuances of how to care for an African pet, it is still worth reading.

The greatest resistance to low light differs varieties with green leaves. If the house appeared in the house with a bright striped foliage, then she needs to find a lighter place, otherwise the drawing on the leaf plates will die or disappear.

Drazen reproduction

This exotic shrub is best breeding in the second half of summer or in spring. Modifying the dragerate fragrant in the following ways:

• stalling
• tap
• stem segments.

The most effective is the first option. When the plant is multiplied with cuttings, the successful result is practically guaranteed. The cuttings are cut from the top shoots, slightly rolling them. To roam the drape, you need to create cuttings for greenhouse conditions: they are placed in a humidized substrate and are covered with a package or glass. After 1-1.5 months, the roots will turn into and go to growth, after some time the strengthened young bushes planted at a permanent place.

The reproduction at home with air chains is possible if the drazes are young and has not yet managed to turn into a large bush. On the trunk, under the fallen sheet, they make a transverse incision until the middle of the stem, in which the match or toothpick is inserted so that it does not bother. The place of the feet is wrapped in wet moss and close with a package. After some time, the roots will succeed through the moss - the cuttings becomes independent, which means that it can be cut off from the main plant and transplanted into a new pot.

An even more exotic path is the rooting of stem segments. How to propagate the dragerate in this way? In fact, everything is quite simple: a healthy troller is cut into fragments about 15 cm long so that the sections occur at the places of fastening of the cuffs. The resulting cuttings are placed in a wet ground vertically or horizontally and waiting for the appearance of roots and new shoots. After 1-1.5 months, if the young stems are fairly fixed by this time, they can be searched in constant pots.

Properly selected pot for drazes - one more of the conditions for its successful cultivation. This species has the main root always grows in length, and the side roots are short, weakly developed. Given this feature, the troops for the fraud is preferably used high and narrow, in the shape of a glass, not too spacious.

For bushes with a height of about 40 cm, a pot of 15 -17 cm in diameter is suitable. When transplanting, the size of each subsequent capacitance should increase by no more than 2-3 cm.

If the tropical "guest" came to you from the store in the temporary transportation container, after adaptation of the plant to the room conditions it must be replaced by permanent.

Watering and feeding

Drazen fragranus fragrance - drought-resistant plant, so watering it is needed moderate, without overwhelming and moisture stagnation in the roots. During the period of active growth (from spring to autumn), the shrub is watered 2-3 times a week, with the onset of winter, watering is reduced to 1 time in 10-12 days. To preserve decorative qualities, the leaves from the drazes must be regularly sprayed, and from time to time to wipe with a damp cloth.

Feed the African Guest in spring-summer period Every month a special fertilizer for palm trees or decorative and deciduous plants. For the winter, feeding is suspended.

Transplant drazes

Young plants need to transplant every 2 years, adults - no more than once every 3-4 years. Copies who have reached the reverered age can not be disturbed by transplants, it is enough to remove the upper soil layer from the pots to a depth of about 5 cm from the pots and replace it with fresh soil.

The transplant is carried out by the method of transshipment, in which the bush "move" from the old pot to the new, fully maintaining the earth com. This method allows you to protect sensitive damage root system.

After buying, the dragerate is kept in quarantine for about two weeks, and then decide on a transplant: young plantWhich is closely in the tank, can immediately get a new "apartment", and more adult can wait with the "relocation" to spring.

How to crop dragerate fragrant

Crimping drazes fragrant, as a rule, is carried out in April-May. It is at this time that the period of active growth and sections are healing the best way. The formation of the crown in the summer and winter is not recommended. These are resting periods when all processes in the plant slow down, and the wounds on the cuts will be healing for a very long time.

For the procedure take only a sharp tool (knife, secateur). The place of future branching is chosen at 15 cm from one of the tops. The upper part of the escape is cut off (it can be rooted), the location of the cut is sprinkled with a crowded activated carbon. The bush is removed for a month into a darkened warm place, there for some time new kidneys will begin to appear.

Before updating the draping, you need to make sure that it is completely healthy and has enough strength to build new shoots. If there are signs of diseases or damage, the bush is better not subject to trimming, but to pay attention to its recovery.

DRATSEN SURFACE: DISEASES

These exotes are practically not ill if they are correctly organized by all cultivation conditions. In case of errors in care, the shrub can be amazed various species rot. These diseases occur in plants, which were subjected to long-term exposure to reduced temperatures in combination with excessive humidity of air and soil. The main sign of the convergence is drawn the tips of the leaves, if the measures will not take on time and the treatment will not begin, rotten processes will develop.

The most common disease of the drazes is the hypothermia, which happens most often in the winter season if the pot with a plant stands near the window or on a draft.

On the bush found manifestations of rotting? You should urgently put the pot into a dry warm place and, if possible, eliminate excess moisture in it! Plants with large foci of defeat rotting Most likely to cure will not work out, they will have to destroy, but they can be cut off healthy cuttings and try to root them.

Many gardeners are concerned about the question: "Why do you like the leaves like a healthy plant?". The reason for this problem most likely lies in too dry air, and brown spots on the leaves are also indicated about the same. In this case, it is necessary to spray both bushes and wipe their crown with a damp soft cloth. If the leaves are twisted and dry, located at the bottom of the trunks, this is a normal natural process.

Among the pests showing interest in an exotic green pettomice are especially dangerous to the milders, cobwebs, a wave and shields. Most effective method Fight with them - the use of special insecticides. As preventive Mer From the appearance of harmful insects, the dragera regularly arrange a warm shower, and also wipe it with a soft damp cloth.

Dracarena Decoration Nuances

Dusted unpretentious. It is just grown, and it is easily reproduced. If two trunks grow in a pot, one can walitate and die soon. Therefore, after buying it is better to send shoots into individual pots.

The plant requires minimal care, in good conditions May grow at home for more than 15 years.

Flower care at home

You can judge the quality of the leaves for the adult plant by the number of leaves preserved at the bottom of the escape. If there are many of them, it means that the care was good.

For the plant is important right watering, feeding, transplants, wet air and good lighting.

Temperature, humidity and lighting

• The drazes of light-headed, but if it stands near the southern windows, it requires shading on a midday hours, otherwise burns may remain on the leaves. A varieties with cigrier leaves require more light to save bright color.
• So that the plant grow smoothly, it turns it different sides to the light. The source of lighting can serve fluorescent LampFor drazes it does not play a special role.
• In winter, the temperature should be not lower than + 12 ° C, in summer - to + 25 ° C.
• The plant does not like drafts and sharp temperature fluctuations.

Watering plants

The moisthed dragerate is preferably watered often, especially in warm time of the year. In a pot with a plant, there should be loose soil and good drainage so that all the excess water can flock through the holes in the bottom of the pot and was not stood in the soil. From the pallet excess water poured. The land is loose, so that the roots can breathe and develop normally.

City water for irrigation It is advisable to take the resistant. Even better if the water is key, thawa, rain or filtered.

• In summer, the plant is watered 1 time in 2 or 3 days.
• In winter, this is done less often - 1 or 2 times a week.
• You can spray the leaves daily with warm water.

A sign of excessive dryness of air in winter time Are the yellowed ends of the leaf of the drazes. If the plant is not far from the heating battery, daily foliage spraying continue in winter.

Fertilizing and fertilizer

Fucking the plant needs the entire warm period, from spring to deep autumn, 1 time in 10 days. Suitable mineral fertilizers For indoor decorative and deciduous crops. You can use a organic-based fertilizer with a peat extractor, chicken litter or manure.

Transplant and cropping

Plant to transplant preferably in the spring, in March or early April, so that it starts to grow as quickly as possible. Timely transplant extends the dragerate of life.

• The powerful root system requires an increase in the volume of landing capacity during the annual transfers to several centimeters.
• On the bottom necessarily placed a layer of clay.
• Holes at the bottom of the pot must be somewhat for maximum removal of excess moisture from the soil.

Having bought a new plant in the store, it is transplanted a month after the acquisition. It is necessary that the drasen is used to the new microclimate of the room, lighting.

For a plant height about half a meter, you need a pot of at least 20 cm in diameter. Greeth for transplant use universal. It should be loose, to skip water and air. In flower shops you can also find a special soil for dras. Independently prepare the soil mixture of equal parts of peat, sand, delicate, leaf land and humus.

As the stalk grows, the leaves may remain only on its top. This reduces the decorative qualities of the drasens. In the spring, the trunk is cut into the side kidneys began to grow shoot. The cut top is rooted in a separate flower pot. The cut must be treated with charcoal and zircon preparation.

Care after flowering

In room conditions, the flowering of drazes is fragrant - the phenomenon is unique. In the wild, this is happening once every 10 years. Long bundled inflorescence with white or yellow-green fragrant colors opened at night. After flowering, the stem of the drasens begins to expand in the circle.

Blossom takes away from the plant a lot of strength, so they do not give the seeds. Immediately after flowering, the blooming is cut off, and the dragerate is fed by complex mineral fertilizers.

Dracaena is loved by many connoisseurs of indoor plants. More than one hundred of its species forms differ from each other in shape, the color of the leaves and flowers. Among them and drazes fragranus.

Basic information about the plant

The dragerate was truly awarded the title of one of the most spectacular decorative-deciduous plants. Motherland Drazen is considered tropical and Africa and islands South-East Asiawhere there are almost all species forms of this plant.

Translated from Latin, the name of this room plant sounds like a "dragon female", from here and derivative names: dragon or dragon tree.

Drazen fragrance belongs to the Sparazhev family.

The main differences of the drasens from Cordilina

It is often possible to hear such a wording: DRATSEN - Litepalm. All due to the fact that this plant is often confused with mini-palm trees, yukkoy, mistakenly attribute a plant to the genus Cordilin et al.

Socked Systematics, having conducted a special investigation, managed to find out that the fragranus and Cordilina drazes occupy an absolutely different situation in decorative flower growing, and the easiest way to distinguish them is to look at the roots of the plants.

How to distinguish the dragera from Cordilina: Basic Rules

First of all, pay attention to the root system. The dragera is determined by orange-yellow smooth roots, and Cordilina - on a more thickened white rhizomet.

On the shape of the seating of the leaves on the stem: there are no cuttings in the leaves of drazes. Sheet shape - linear, structure - dwelling, with thick skin.

Depending on the subspecies of the plant, the leaves are assembled into small sockets and form beams closer to the top of the stem (dusted marginat) in some, others are located along the entire length of the stem with mutters or spirals (fraganced fragranus lem lime).

Care for drasa correctly

The plant is distinguished by unpretentiousness. But, as in caring for any indoor plants, compliance with individual rules is required.

The fragranus drazes differ in endurance compared to other relatives and perfectly transfers the lack of light. Substitutions with monophonic leaves of a dark green color show excellent growth rates in the shade, but the mothes are quickly losing a bright color. Optimal is considered bright, evenly dispelled light from the windows from the south or east side.

Important! From frequent contact with unprotected sunlight, the leaves of drarats are yellow, and the color becomes paler.

Do not forget to remove dust from the plant. Do it periodically throughout the year: Wipe the leaves with a wet sponge, sometimes arrange the dragerate of a warm shower. The leaf polishing agents are not recommended, since the plants of this species react poorly to chemistry. Instead purchased tools You can use folk: alcohol, diluted lemonic acid, glycerin, but processing the plant is no more than 1-2 times a month.

Choose a place for the plant

Most of the plant species is gifted by nature with motley leaves. Such kinds must be kept in a warm bright place, ensuring open access of sunlight, otherwise the plant will become pale. Green-shaped monophonic drazes are located in a place where light and heat enters, but do not pass outdoor sun rays.

Most gardeners believe that the fragranus fragration of the compact is telebital plant, But actually it is not. Dry the sun flower, and he will start fading. Good growth And the development of plants contributes to moderate scattered sunlight. Therefore, it is so important in winter to move the dragerate closer to the window so that it receives as much light energy as possible.

We select the optimal temperature regime

The air temperature in the room where you hold the plant should be moderate. Fragranus Massanger Fragrance feels comfortable at +15 in the summer and tolerates wintering at + 10-13 degrees Celsius. Optimal consider the temperature of 20-25 degrees (this is the average value). Still, such as dragon-tree, fragrant, drasen Gucker, can be grown in cold greenhouses. They are not afraid of neither drafts, nor the cold (can be overwhelmed and at a temperature of +7 degrees Celsius).

Fall by plants
