I really love grown houseplants. I have more than thirty species on the windowsill. Today I decided to tell about such a flower as Kalanchoe Blossfeld (from Lat. Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana). This perennial grassy flower plant refers to succulents (with lat. Succulentus), to the Tolstanka family (from lat. Crassulaceae, has more than two hundred varieties), kalanchoe.
What is he - Kalanchoe Blossfeld?
The appearance described by me belongs to the dwarf representatives of this kind. Grows a small shrub. The shoots initially stretch up, and after, reaching a certain length, hang.The bustice rarely exceeds in the diameter and in a height of 25-30 cm and reminds the thick "cap" from green small curls. He has dense, shiny, fleshy, rounded form. Some varieties in the edge of the leaflets there is a red producer.
Bloom
Coloros are sitting on the tops of the stems and are littered with small bright flowers, forming amazing inflorescences of various color. My handsome man gives me saturated-pink flowers.
Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana discovered German Naturalists Robert Blossfeld with Harry's son in the thirties of the last century, traveling on Madagascar Island. But for the first time described in all details this miracle German botanist Karl von Pellnits in 1934 in his article published in the periodic journal.
Features of care
It is unpretentious to the raptice in cultivation, there is no special trouble with him.
The main thing is timely watering and content on a light window.My flower stands on the North side for many years. I miss it every ten days, and twice a year I strongly cut off. I watered only with rainwater, which is pre-collecting in the tanks during the rains.
In my experience, it is better to plant this pet into an extended (oblongable) pot - subsequently, as far as development, it turns out a beautiful design, and freedom of growth is provided, since it is properly rejected by rooting the stem and felling sheets.
Flowers calangean in the period from December to May abundantly, without ceasing.As I have already mentioned, I do not feel problems with this representative by Flora. He is beautiful, the places do not take a lot and what is called, pleases the eye.
I think my article will appreciate true flowerflowers. And all those who are only interested or already engaged in breeding indoor pets, for their part I want to wish good luck and patience. Try! You will not regret!
