Dollar tree or Zamioculcas is unpretentious indoor plant, a close relative of monstera, dieffenbachia and calla lilies.

The natural conditions for this plant are dry soil and scorching sun, so it feels good under any conditions.

Morphological description of the plant

The stem of the dollar tree is missing.

The leaves grow from a tuberous root from 4 to 6, the length can reach a meter. They are usually mistaken for plant branches or stems.


In fact, these are complex pinnate leaves. They are fleshy and have a rich green color.

New leaves appear once or twice a year.

The flowers are small, cream or white, collected on the cob, covered with a light leaf.

The sap of the dollar tree is poisonous, so you need to handle it carefully, and then wash your hands thoroughly.

Especially it is necessary to ensure that children and pets do not have access to this plant.

Growing a dollar tree

Before planting, you need to properly prepare the soil. It is better to use a soil mixture of leafy, soddy soil, peat and sand, mixed in equal proportions. Drainage (pebbles, gravel, broken bricks, etc.) must be placed at the bottom of the pot. After that, you can start planting or transplanting.

It must be remembered that the rooting process of any part of the plant is very long and can take several months.

Reproduction of Zamioculcas

The reproduction of this plant is carried out in several ways:

leaf reproduction

The easiest way to propagate a dollar tree is to propagate with leaves. For this you need:

  • Take a whole sheet or part of it;
  • Dry for a couple of days;
  • Bury the lower part of the leaf in peat or sand for a third of the length, cover with a jar to create the effect of a greenhouse, and wait for the formation of roots, periodically watering and airing.


Reproduction by cuttings

1. You need to take a cutting;

2. Put in water until roots appear, periodically changing the water.


Reproduction by dividing the bush

The overgrown bush is divided into several parts, each of which grows into a separate plant.


dollar tree care

The dollar tree is unpretentious in care. It is not afraid of overdrying the soil, as the tuber accumulates moisture in itself. In addition, he is not afraid of drafts, changing places, transplanting into open ground.

Accommodation

It is best to place the dollar tree on a windowsill on the South side, since the more sunlight, the better it grows, and the color of the foliage becomes more saturated. Especially a lot of sun is required when new leaves appear. But even with less light, the plant feels good, only the color of the foliage will be dimmer. Some lovers of this plant, on the contrary, are advised to place it anywhere, but not on the windowsill. Therefore, the correct placement is best determined by the state of the plant itself, its growth and color.


Temperature

The most favorable temperature for Zamioculcas is a temperature of 18 degrees and above, but the plant easily tolerates temperatures that differ from this range.

Watering

You need to water the tree abundantly, but rarely. Watering is carried out only when the soil in the pot is completely dry. The plant tolerates drought quite easily due to the fact that it stores moisture in the roots and leaves. And excessive watering can lead to the development of diseases and the death of the plant. In winter, you should stop watering, once a month it is enough to wipe the tree with a damp cloth.

top dressing

Top dressing is carried out when new leaves appear on the plant, usually in spring and summer. Fertilize every two weeks during this period. Top dressing can be carried out until mid-September, in the autumn and winter it must be stopped. It is better to feed with fertilizers for cacti and other succulents.


Transfer

Transplantation is done depending on the age of the plant, usually in the spring. The young plant is transplanted each spring into pots not much larger than the previous ones, as the roots should touch the walls of the pot, this accelerates the growth of leaves. An adult plant is transplanted every two to three years.

Pests

Spider mites, aphids, scale insects can lead to falling, curling or yellowing of foliage.

  • The presence of a spider mite manifests itself in the form of thin white cobwebs. You can fight it with soapy water, spraying with tobacco infusion or insecticides (Antiklesch, Akarin);
  • Aphids cause dark spots on the leaves. It is better to deal with it by washing them off with a sponge and soapy water, with a large amount using Aktara.
  • Shchitovki cause darkening and twisting of the foliage. You can fight them with a soap-kerosene solution, as well as with the help of decis, actellik, intavir, fitoverma, actara.
  • Thrips cause damage to the leaves and curvature of the stems. For the fight, it is better to use insecticides: karbofos, intavir, actellik, etc.
  • Mealybugs appear in excessively dry air, suck the juices from the plant, which causes the leaves to fall, and growth slows down, in addition, they secrete sugary substances, which are a favorable environment for the development of the fungus. You can remove them with a damp sponge with a soap-alcohol solution, or with insecticides (decis, actellik, intavir).

The dollar tree is a fairly popular plant in our time, which has a scientific name - zamiokulkas. There are several reasons for its great prevalence in Russia, including the Feng Shui teaching, which says that a flower can bring wealth to a home, joy, good luck and female happiness. The main thing is to choose a suitable place in your home for this method to work. The second reason is attractive appearance zamiokulkas, which fits perfectly into almost any interior. The third reason is the simple care that even inexperienced flower growers can carry out. The plant perfectly adapts to a variety of habitat conditions and pleases its owners for years. But it is worth noting that growing a dollar tree at home still has some features that everyone who decides to have such flora in their home should know about.

The dollar tree or zamiokulkas is a plant that scientists have assigned to the Aroid family. Few people know that this type of ornamental flora received such a name because of its external similarity with another well-known plant - zamia. The homeland of Zamioculcas is the regions of the African continent, where a humid tropical climate prevails. Subject to certain simple rules dollar tree grows well at home.

Zamioculcas is an incredibly beautiful, noble, evergreen plant that can decorate any home. It has strong, fleshy dark green leaves of a slightly elongated, oval shape. At the ends of each leaf there is a sharpening. At home, a dollar tree can reach a height of 100 - 150 centimeters. The plant has a tuberous root system. The flower looks very stylish due to the rich shades of foliage.

Many can be struck by the unusual flowering that usually occurs at home in the spring. To achieve this, it is very important to provide proper care behind the plant. The inflorescence resembles an ear of cream or light green corn. It should be noted that the inflorescence is formed in the lower part of the plant, due to which it can be hardly noticeable. Sometimes a flower can release several cobs at once.

Zamioculcas was first studied in 1828 by a great lover exotic plants Conrad Loddiges. As a decorative flora for decorating interiors, it began to be massively used only at the end of the 20th century. early XXI centuries. In 2007, a new variety was bred - a miniature dollar tree, which reaches no more than 60 centimeters in height.

Often the dollar tree is confused with the money tree, which has the scientific name of the fat woman. These indoor flowers belong to different families - Crassula and Aroid. At the same time, the appearance of the two plants is different. We recommend that all amateur flower growers remember this feature. It is worth noting that Zamioculcas is poisonous, but it will never cause severe poisoning. You just need to keep small children and pets from trying to taste the leaves and inflorescences of the plant. Flower juice can provoke allergic reactions. For this reason, people who are prone to allergies should protect their skin with gloves when contacting.

Daily Care

Temperature and lighting

The dollar tree feels comfortable at moderate temperatures. Care involves maintaining the temperature in the room at 20 - 22 degrees in summer and 16 - 18 degrees in winter. In no case should the temperature drop below 12 degrees. Otherwise, the dollar tree will die. Usually in apartments and private houses the plant feels comfortable. It must be borne in mind that it is better to grow zamiokulkas in a cool room than to artificially raise the temperature with the help of heating devices.

The dollar tree loves well-lit rooms, which should definitely be taken into account when caring for a flower. At home, it is better to stir a flowerpot with a plant in the southern part of the house or apartment. At the same time, direct sunlight should not fall on the leaves, which negatively affect the state of this type of decorative flora. In the warm season, a flower pot can be taken out to the balcony, as it feels comfortable in the fresh air. Care also involves replanting a dollar tree. Young plants are transplanted in the spring every year, and adults - every two years. The substrate should consist of 1 part soddy soil, 1 part leafy soil, 1 part peat soil and 1 part sand. It is very important to provide excellent drainage so that excess moisture does not accumulate in the flowerpot. If this rule is not followed, it can destroy the plant.

Moisturizing

Plant care involves moderate watering at home. In winter, it is necessary that the soil has time to dry well between moistening. Watering should be done no more than once a week. In the summer, you can increase the number of procedures.

It should be understood that excessive soil moisture can provoke rotting of the root system, in which the foliage turns yellow, and over time the flower dies. It is better to forget to water the plant once again, it will not suffer from this. Dense leaves accumulate enough moisture so that the plant can tolerate "drought" well.

The dollar tree does not need constant spraying from a spray bottle. But dust particles settle on the leaves of the plant, which must be removed with a damp cloth so that the flower does not lose its attractive appearance. It is not recommended to grow the plant in rooms with very low humidity. It is desirable that this indicator be 50 - 70%.

It is very important, when caring for zamiokulkas, to periodically introduce mineral fertilizers into the soil. Perfect mixes for cacti and succulents. It is important to note that any fertilizer must be added to the soil during the warm period, when the active growth phase is observed. This time is from mid-spring to the end of summer. The frequency of top dressing is once every 15 days.

The dollar tree is a plant that has recently gained a lot of popularity. Many believe that it brings prosperity and happiness to the house. Caring for it at home is within the power of people who do not have much experience in growing ornamental flora. The plant has a beautiful appearance. Under favorable conditions, it will please its owner unusual flowering resembling an ear of corn.

Despite its exoticism, Zamioculcas has taken root very well at home. The plant is extremely unpretentious - it is completely insensitive to dry air and feels great, both in the open sun and in partial shade. The temperature regime of our latitudes is also quite suitable - from 10 ° C to 30 ° C and even higher, the plant quite likes it, in addition, zamiokulkas does not require regular watering. It easily survives when the soil dries out.

And yet, no matter how unpretentious the dollar tree may be, its development will be the more complete, the closer the conditions of detention are to the usual plant - to natural.

In the conditions of an apartment, it would be better to place a flowerpot on the windowsill of a window overlooking south side. The lack of light, the tree will easily survive, however, such conditions lead to the crushing of its foliage and the loss of decorative qualities. In the warm season, it is advisable to take the plant out to the balcony under the sun more often, and in summer, it can even be kept outdoors.

The dollar tree does not impose any requirements on the quality of the soil in terms of its nutritional value, but it should not be heavy - clay. The plant responds extremely negatively to stagnant water, so it should be planted in light, loose soils based on sand. A ready-made mixture from the store is not bad for a cactus. To improve the removal of excess moisture, it is advisable to arrange a drainage layer in the flowerpot by pouring a layer of expanded clay, pebbles or screenings of the middle fraction on its bottom.

In terms of nutrients, the plant grows quite well in poor soil, but if you occasionally feed it, it will only benefit it. However, this should be done only during the active growing season and very carefully. Fertilizers for cacti, which need to be applied in small portions and no more than once a month, are well suited. During the dormant period, it is impossible to make top dressing, otherwise the tree will be exhausted by the next season and will hurt. Watering at this time should also be reduced to the very minimum.

It is necessary to transplant zamiokulkas only if necessary, replace the flowerpot with a larger one - when the plant becomes crowded, or rather its root system. In order for the plant to take root well after transplantation, its tubers should not be completely buried, their surface should be open.

To summarize briefly, for the normal development of Zamioculcas, you need a lot of natural bright light, warmth and limited watering, especially in winter. During this period, it is watered no more than a couple of times a month, otherwise, there is a high probability of infection with various putrefactive infections and the appearance of pests, most often it is aphids.

Consider a number of problems that are most often encountered when keeping and breeding zamiokulkas at home.

Slow and incomplete development

If the plant begins to lose weight and stretch, the foliage turns pale and reduces the number of lobules on the young, then most likely the reason is insufficient lighting. It is necessary to revise the conditions of detention and put the flowerpot closer to the sun, and if this is not possible, it is worth highlighting the tree artificially. You need to purchase a special lamp for plants that emits a spectrum as close as possible to the sun. Ordinary household lamps will not give the effect - they are not suitable.


Zamioculcas, in general, does not grow fast anyway, and if it slows down even more, look for the reason in the lack of space for the roots - you may need to transplant the plant into a larger flowerpot. Another reason for this behavior is the lack of trace elements. Try to make complex formulations containing potassium, magnesium and nitrogen. The tree reacts especially sharply to a lack of nitrogen.

Spots on the leaves

In the case when dark spots appear on the leaves of the dollar tree, this indicates problems associated with a violation of the temperature regime and excess moisture.

To eliminate stains, you need to increase the temperature of the content and take measures to protect the plant from cold drafts. They also often lead to spots on the leaves. Watering should be sharply limited, check the reliability of drainage and, if there are problems with it, eliminate them - it is best to transplant zamiokulkas into a flowerpot with new soil. Over time, dark spots disappear.


Sometimes, the cause of dark spots on the leaves and even on the stem can be pests, specifically scale insects. For treatment, you need to collect them as carefully as possible, after which, treat the plant with a solution of fungicides.

Another cause of spots is sunburn. Despite the love of bright light, exposure to scorching rays after spraying is unacceptable. Moisture droplets left on the leaves act like lenses that amplify the light and can cause scorching and spotting.

stem rot

The rotting of the zamiokulkas stem signals a serious illness, since often root rot develops at the same time. The main reason is excessive watering and low temperatures, combined with improperly prepared soil. If the soil is heavy, clayey, it is not able to drain even a limited amount of water in cold weather, and this leads to its stagnation and, as a result, rot on the plant.

In such a situation, the first step is to normalize the external conditions - temperature and watering, and then, you will have to remove the plant from the flowerpot and treat it. All its parts are treated with a solution of fungicides and planted in a new flowerpot or the old one is disinfected. The old land will have to be thrown away and replaced with new.


In the case when the dollar tree cannot be saved - its tubers are severely affected, it will have to be disposed of, but a new plant can be grown from its upper part by rooting some of the leaves.

Drying of the leaves

With rare exceptions, this process is quite natural - first the lower leaves of the flower die off, then they turn yellow and fall off the trunk. If there is a fall of young, just appeared leaves, look for the reason in violation of the rules of care. They are typical - low temperature, drafts and stagnant water in the flowerpot.


The fall of young leaves is an alarming bell. In order not to develop the disease, it is better to immediately transplant the plant into a new flowerpot, until the rot killed it.

The appearance of spots on the trunk of a plant

Most often, this is a normal phenomenon due to the peculiarity of the flower. If spots and even dark stripes appear on the trunk, but there are no signs of putrefactive processes and traces of pests, there is no reason to worry. It's not a disease - that's the decorative personality of your dollar tree.


Disease causing pests

This plant has a rather thick protective shell covering the foliage and stems, therefore, its pest damage occurs mainly when weakened, which in turn is the cause of improper care.

spider mite. This pest loves dry, warm air, so keeping a weakened flower in such conditions provokes its appearance. A thin white cobweb appears on the plant, mainly in the internodal spaces, and if timely measures are not taken, the foliage becomes lethargic, turns yellow and soon crumbles.

They fight the mite by wiping the plant with a sponge dipped in soapy water, then spray it with tobacco infusion and, after 30 minutes, wash it off with slightly warm water.

Ready-made products also work well, for example, anti-mite, akarin and any other from the group of insecticides.


Shchitovka. When infected with a scab, dark spots appear on all parts of the plant over time. Scale insects multiply very quickly, so you need to deal with them immediately after they are detected. The methods of struggle are the same as with the spider mite.

Aphid. If you often take the plant out into the open air, infection with this insect is possible. On the leaves, black lumps are clearly visible, which lead to the disease - twisting and blanching of the leaves. If no action is taken, the foliage turns yellow and is shed.

To destroy aphids, use ready-made compounds against garden insects, for example, fitoverm, intavir or actellik.

Mealybug. These pests, like the spider mite, prefer dry air. Breeding mainly on leaves, they feed on their juices, leaving sticky, cotton-like drops of secretions that make it difficult for air to enter. This leads to impaired growth and deformation of the leaves - over time, they turn yellow and fall off, and the tree itself weakens and other pests appear on it - soot fungi and other rubbish. If timely treatment is not carried out, the plant is guaranteed to die.

Worms, by virtue of their large sizes, are clearly visible to the naked eye, therefore, at the first appearance, they should be washed off with soapy water, and if the process has gone far, it is worth using special chemicals - insecticides.

After any, even minor treatment with insecticides, you need to protect the soil by covering it with a film. The next day, when washing off the chemicals with water, you should protect the plant from getting under the root - cover the soil again.

And finally, we repeat - the zamiokulkas flower is extremely resistant to pests and infections when it is healthy. It is enough to provide the plant with normal water drainage, the correct temperature and light conditions, take it out into the fresh air in summer and it will thank with its beauty and health.

Few have seen Zamioculcas bloom. Flowering at home is an extremely rare phenomenon, and the flowers themselves are not decorative at all - pale yellow cobs. But the bushes are beautiful.

Feng Shui fans believe that this plant can bring wealth and prosperity to the house, so it has become very popular. It is given to friends and acquaintances with a wish for abundance in the house. Moreover, no care secrets are required: the plant is extremely unpretentious. Ease of care has become the second reason for the popularity of Zamioculcas.

True, it is believed that this is also a flower of celibacy, and if it grows in the house of a lonely person, he will remain so lonely. Therefore, when buying or receiving a plant as a gift, it is necessary to aim it correctly by putting a coin in its roots. This will remove negative energy, and interference in personal life will not take place.

The dollar tree does not have a trunk, it is a bush up to one meter high from shoots growing directly from the ground, on which there are fleshy dark green leaves. The roots of the shoots form tubers in which the plant stores water and nutrients. Thus, Zamioculcas, a native of Africa, resists drought.

An important warning - zamiokulkas juice is poisonous, therefore, when working with it, transplanting, you must wear gloves and keep small children away from the plant.

Plant transplant.

The transplant pot should be stable and large enough to support the weight of a tall plant, but only two centimeters larger than its predecessor. Zamioculcas grows slowly at first, so a transplant will not be required every year - only when the shoots take up all the free space. This applies to adult plants, young ones must be transplanted every year.

There should be holes in the bottom of the pot, a layer of expanded clay is poured under the soil for drainage. The soil is bought special for succulents or for cacti. The plant is transplanted along with a clod of earth. Be sure the tubers should be visible from the ground. After transplanting, the plants are kept in the shade for a couple of days.

To grow a beautiful dollar tree, home care should take into account some features:

  • The flower loves the light, but not the direct rays of the sun, which can burn the leaves. The first time you can hold it in partial shade.
  • The temperature in summer should be 25 o C, in winter - 16 o C, because at this time the flower is gathering strength before the new season.
  • Despite the resistance to drought, the plant needs moist air. You can spray the leaves with water or put the pot in a tray with wet moss.
  • When the earth in the pot is completely dry, the plant should be watered abundantly, but so that the water does not stagnate. The dollar tree is more afraid of overflowing drought and will calmly endure if you leave for a week, leaving it without watering.
  • It does not hurt to feed Zamioculcas once every two weeks with cactus food.

Now you know how to care for a dollar tree so that it is always beautiful.

Reproduction of zamiokulkas

There are three ways to propagate a dollar tree - cuttings, tubers and leaves. The stalk is cut off with a kidney and a leaf, dried and planted. During transplantation, you can easily divide the tuber system into several parts and plant each of them separately. You can plant a separate leaf.

Problem situations

Move the plant that is too long to a lighter place. If the leaves turn yellow, it is necessary to sort out the root system, removing the rotten roots. The appearance of roots on the surface signals that the pot is too small. Spots on the leaves are a fungal infection, special preparations must be used.

Zamiokulkas transplant

An exotic flower with a funny name became relatively recently known to flower growers - in the late 90s, when Dutch nurseries began to offer the first specimens of the plant to their customers. Zamioculcas zamielista in a very short period of time has gained immense popularity for its beauty and unpretentiousness.

Care for zamiokulkas at home

beautiful among the people unpretentious plant managed to come up with several names: dollar tree (bucks, money) and women's happiness. Some consider it the flower of celibacy. In its natural environment, a decorative leafy flower grows in dry weather under the scorching sun, so the plant is especially comfortable in our latitudes. Caring for a dollar tree at home is very easy, but it must be properly bred and grown.

The home flower is not afraid of drafts and forgives forgetfulness in watering, but it needs good lighting. The plant loves diffused soft light so that the leaves do not get sunburned. The main care for zamiokulkas is to withstand 2-3 weeks of adaptation after purchase, and then you can already transplant. The life expectancy of an evergreen plant is from 5 to 10 years. During this time, the flower grows up to 1 meter. It should be remembered that Zamioculcas zamiifolia (scientific name) is a poisonous plant, so it is necessary to place it to decorate the interior out of the reach of children.

Zamioculcas - reproduction

With a planned transplant, reproduction of Zamioculcas is possible by dividing into separate cuttings. For an adult plant, this is not difficult, but it must be carefully divided, otherwise the tuber may be damaged. Separate parts must be held in the air for some time to dry, sprinkle the slices with activated or charcoal, and only then plant. How to transplant zamiokulkas? seating home flower it is necessary to pots with universal soil, and add vermiculite as a baking powder. Water young shoots by spraying every three days.

Reproduction of zamiokulkas leaf

You can transplant a plant not only with a shoot, but also with a leaf plate. To do this, a leaf should be cut off from an adult specimen, dried for several hours, treated with a growth stimulator (Kornevin) and planted in ready-made light soil. Reproduction of zamiokulkas leaf is very slow. After a couple of months, a tuber will form, and propagated leaves should be expected no earlier than six months later.

Zamioculcas - flowering

The dollar tree blooms very rarely. This indoor plant is valued more for its glossy dark green leaves, and the flowers do not shine with special beauty: light, small, collected on the cob - a characteristic inflorescence for the entire Aroid family. The flowering of Zamioculcas can be seen in the photo on the Internet. Outside, the inflorescence is covered with a leaf 5-8 cm long, which makes it difficult to distinguish. In nature, the ear, after fertilization, first forms brown berries, from which seeds ripen. When the plant begins to bloom at home, the seeds do not ripen.


Zamioculcas - transplant

The only thing that can cause difficulty for a gardener is a Zamioculcas transplant. The main condition after the purchase is the complete removal of the soil. If the rhizomes are intertwined, then they need to be carefully untangled. The pot must be chosen larger than the previous one with a hole for drainage. Next, mix soil, sand, turf, leaf humus in proportions of 1: 1. Transshipment of adult domestic plants should be carried out every 2-3 years, and young ones - every year. During this procedure, you can not touch the earthen room.

Land for Zamioculcas

Flower shops offer flower growers, as a rule, ready-made universal soil. For those who want to especially take care of their favorite indoor plant, you can prepare the ground for zamiokulkas yourself. The dollar tree prefers growing in loose soil to allow water and air to circulate easily in the pot. It is desirable to dilute the soil with coarse river sand, fine expanded clay or perlite. These additives should make up a third of the total volume.

It is better to take fertile soil for a flower: forest, leafy, garden or garden. For top dressing, you can add some ready-made substrate from a flower shop. Fertilizer for cactus is also suitable. At the bottom of the pot, it is imperative to arrange a drainage of 2-3 cm from sand, expanded clay or small pebbles. From above, after planting, you can put sphagnum moss in a small layer. The coating will be useful and decorative - with it the earth will retain moisture longer.


Zamioculcas - diseases

In order for a houseplant to be beautiful, it is necessary to carry out pest control correctly and on time. As already mentioned about zamiokulkas, home care is not difficult, since the plant fights some microbial and viral diseases on its own. Even when the dollar tree leaves first turn yellow and then fall off, this is a normal process. However, Zamioculcas diseases, in which the plant needs treatment, exist. The leaves may dry out or turn yellow massively from direct sunlight, and the roots begin to rot due to waterlogging.

Sometimes the plant is affected by pests:

  1. Spider mite. The insect is easy to spot - it is a bright red small spider, winding a white, thin cobweb from the bottom of the sheet.
  2. Shchitovka. The body of the pest is covered with a shield, which is why the insect is called that. It is difficult to notice a scale insect on a plant, but, having multiplied, it is easy to identify by dark spots at the bottom of the leaf. Voracious larvae spread throughout the plant in the form of small worms.
  3. Aphid. Pest deposits look like live white cereals on the leaves. Insects are black, green, gray and white. They feed on the sap of the plant and live on the leaves (underside).


How to water zamiokulkas

There are several recommendations for the care, watering and maintenance of a home plant. Sometimes in winter the flower becomes lethargic and stops growing - this is a sign of waterlogging. During the cold period, watering Zamiokulkas should be carried out no more than twice a month. The temperature in the room should not be lower than +16 degrees. In the hot season, zamioculcas is watered 1-2 times a week, depending on the condition of the soil.
