We multiply zamiokulkas: methods for home florists
Zamiokulkas is often referred to as a"dollar tree". It is believed that this plant, which came to our homes from exotic Africa, brings its own possessor material prosperity. Another name of zamiokulkasa -"female happiness". There is a prejudice in the people, which its bearer wonders for the sake of the opposite sex and finds well-being in his personal life. Agree, a good excuse to get your green artefact at home! Naturally, you can bribe the plant-mascot in the store, but it is much more exciting to bring up well-being with your own hands. Moreover, they say, which in this case, the effect through the acquisition is more.

A common feature of the methods There are four methods of multiplication of zamiokulkasa: seeds, tubers, leaves or cuttings. In most cases, the plant is multiplied by dividing the mother tuber for the part, by cuttings, by rooting leaf blades or an entire branch with leaves. Zamookulkas is poisonous! Put it in gloves and do not involve the kids.
Seed multiplication
Do not pin hopes on finding seeds - they are simple to wear, because it dyes this plant very often and without them (maybe in Africa they also eat, but unlikely). If you are lucky:
Sow the seeds in a container with soil for the sake of violets or cacti with a distance between them - 2-3 cm. The bottom must be moist, not wet.
Cover with a film and open for airing 1 once a day.
See because of the humidity of the earth's surface, do not tolerate the appearance of a dispassionate crust, moisten with water from a spray.
Replace if there are first 2 real leaflets (they grow then cotyledons.)
Shoots will have to wait indefinitely, at least 2 months. Before a plant, you need to collect a tuber, from which a branch will later branch out.
Seeds of zamiokulkasa mature very occasionally Multiplication by division of the mother tuber The multiplication of zamiokulkas by the division of the uterine tuber is produced in the spring, if it is time for the sake of transplanting the plant into a more capacious pot. The tuber for the part is divided freely. No need to cut, if you are allowed to kill your pet. You need to take care, so that for each process there is at least one desire for growth. Under no circumstances it is impossible to cut the roots of zamyokulkas The effect of multiplying by dividing the tuber consists of the following steps:

Then divide the tuber for the number of future plants you need, dry the damaged areas by sprinkling them with wood or crushed activated charcoal
Keep them for air for 2 hours.
Then planted in an unchanged vase. Select a container of at least 20 cm in diameter and 25 cm in height. Pour claydite or small pebbles for the bottom. As drainage, it is also possible to remove polystyrene balls or egg shells. Do not worry, which it alkales the earth, the overestimated acidity is harmful for the sake of zamioculcas. A drainage discharge must exist at least 1 cm. Use a special soil mixture for the sake of cacti or any other light insufficient land as a land.
Cover the pot with a jar for the sake of creating the necessary local climate and place them on the windowsill. An additional explanation of the plant is not necessary.
See because of humidity and at times water with a sprayer so that not only roots but leaves are available.
Then, like new sheets will appear, remove the jar.
A full grown adult plant is allowed to see quite a year.

A stalk of a zamiokulkas is some other kind, like an intricate real leaf. For the central stem, there are fairly ordinary leaf blades. For cherry zamiokulkasa eat pretty leaves The effect of the cuttings is as follows:
Cut the one-piece sheet and remove the 4-5 lower leaves.
Then dry the cutting in a warm, dark place.
Sprinkle the damaged parts with coal.
It is permissible to put for the sake of sprouting into a container with standing water. In this case, look because water does not fade. It is permissible to add hydrogel, who will absorb the water, and later fairly evenly give it to the plant.
For the unchanged placement of the first rootlets 2-3 cm long with a tuber diameter of at least 0.5 cm,
Cover the jar before any new leaves appear. Do not raise the hood, so as not to disturb the local climate, the plant will receive the atmosphere from the ground.
For the cuttings, the roots and the tuber are visible, it is likely that they can be planted

It will be necessary to wait for a few months to cut off the result. Your new pet will come in handy in time, in order to build up a basal tuber, in which moisture and nutrients remain, and later it will go to profit.

Multiplication with leaf plates
It's easier to get the leaves, but you'll have to wait half a year to wait for the result. The trunks with leaves are more quickly adopted - the result is allowed to see quite well in a month and a half. The method of rooting is similar for all parts of zamiokulkas:

Desiccate leaf blades pretty much in advance.
Sprinkle the location of the slices.
Immerse the leaves in the ground around a small angle for about a third.
Sheet is inserted for the third part at a small angle
Do not rush to interfere with the experience, if the leaves fade


The future upbringing of grown-up zamiokulkasom consists of repeated watering and spraying. The young plant should be transplanted into a more capacious vase once a year, and the adult plant should be transplanted once in 2-4 years.
