Kris plant Care

During the growing season, it is necessary to water abundantly and only after the top layer of the soil mixture has dried. In the cold season, this should be done 1-2 days after its surface has dried.

This procedure is practically not required. The only pruning that can be carried out is the so-called cleansing, used to remove dried parts of the plant.

During the growing season, feed the flower once in 15 days; for this, apply complex mineral fertilizers for decorative leafy plants and organic matter alternately.

These plants need a large amount of bright but diffused light, as green-leaved plants can grow in slight shade. Burning direct rays of the sun can be harmful.

Prepare a soil mixture, taking two parts of coniferous, leafy, and peat soil and one more part of sand. Pour a handful of charcoal into the prepared substrate.

You can propagate such plants by cuttings and seed methods.

Here is what the temperature regime should be like: in the spring-summer period - from 73 to 77 ºF (23 to 25 ºС), in the winter months - about 68 ºF (20 ºС), but not less than 64 ºF (18 ºС).

The pot should be high, and a thick layer of drainage must be made at its bottom, for the creation of which you can use pebbles, expanded clay, or pieces of brick.

This plant is so popular that it is easy to find in almost every major gardening center!
