Beloperone belongs to the Acanthus type. This plant is an evergreen crop with interesting flowers and inflorescences that resemble shrimp in shape. In color, the flowers are either yellow, or pink, or burgundy. Usually the bush grows up to 1 meter in height. The leaves of the bush are lowered, the stem is also tilted to the ground.

If we consider the white-perone indoor flower, then it, among many others, is distinguished by its unpretentiousness. When grown at home, the flowering period becomes very long, so your culture will decorate your home for a long time. Despite the fact that the plant blooms for a long time, it does not require special care for it.

In order for the plant to develop well and function, it is necessary to choose the right place, make an olive, monitor humidity and temperature. And also sometimes to take out the culture to fresh air, since it is at these moments that the plant recovers its strength.

Note: When taking a white perone flower to fresh air, protect it from the hot sun, as it can burn the plants and burns will appear over the entire surface of the leaves.

Seat selection

The indoor flower beloperone loves light and body, therefore planting should be carried out in a sunny area, since it is on it that development will take place in the best possible way. If planting is done at home, then it is best to carry it out on a window in the south or southeast.

Too hot sun should not injure the plant, so they need to be covered. Otherwise, the plant will wither and get burned. And in poor light, the plant begins to wither and becomes pale, so keeping the balance of the sun is very important when growing beloperone. The best choice is a semi-shaded area.

Water the plant in moderation. The soil should be watered throughout the year, it should be in the winter. Watering in different seasons differs only in its abundance. In the summer and spring, watering is quite abundant. But with the onset of winter time, watering becomes less frequent and the amount of applied water decreases.

If excessive moisture is introduced into the soil of the plant, it will begin to ache. A fungal disease can attack the plant and begin to destroy the culture. Watering should be carried out every time the ground is slightly dry.

Moisture control

Controlling humidity in the air is also an important step in crop care. The room should have moderate humidity, which will not change. The foliage should be well moistened and spraying will help to achieve this.Spraying will also protect the plant from unnecessary insects.

Temperature control

Since the beloperone spread from Mexico, it grew in its homeland at high temperatures. When grown at home, the plant feels great. But if it is cold at home, then you will need to provide the flower with +22 degrees for good development. In autumn and winter, the temperature drops to +14 degrees.

Beloperone should be transplanted every year so that it feels comfortable. This culture requires a small container. For better growth, you need to put 2-4 petioles in the pot. To start a transplant, you must first prepare for it. For this, a special soil is prepared, which will be fertilized. For cooking, you need humus, peat, sand and soil. All components are mixed, and a good primer is obtained. Sometimes bone meal is added to this mixture.

Fertilization

It is necessary to feed the indoor flower beloperone, especially in the period from March to September. During this period, fertilizer is applied once every 7-10 days, and only mineral fertilizing is used. In winter, fertilization is not necessary only if the grower keeps the temperature. If the temperature is not observed, then the grower will have to fertilize the culture once every 14 days.

Carrying out pruning of white perone

Pruning of beloperone should be carried out regularly, as this improves the growth, development and functioning of the culture. Pruning is carried out in the spring, about one third of the entire length of the gardener must cut the shoots. With regular and correct pruning, the shrub becomes healthy and also has a beautiful shape.

The most common way to reproduce this culture is to use cuttings... This method is very simple and does not require much effort, so an inexperienced gardener can handle it. For reproduction, it is necessary to prepare cuttings of beloperone, this is done even in winter, when several shoots are cut off from the plant and left until spring.

In order for the beloperone stalk to take root, it is necessary to use peat, since it is in it that the root system is formed faster. The first roots appear 2 weeks after planting. If you want the cutting to take root in the shortest possible period of time, then you need to treat the soil with succinic acid or root root, and also ensure that the soil is warmed up.

A method of reproduction is also used when planting material is used the seeds... It is necessary to sow the seeds of beloperone at the end of March and do it in a well-fertilized soil. In order for the sprouts to grow well, it is necessary to maintain the temperature regime at +26 degrees. After sprouts begin to appear, they must be transplanted into soil with peat, humus and sand.

• The foliage of the shrub may begin to lose its color, becoming paler. This can be due to excess or lack of moisture in the soil. To solve this problem, it is necessary to normalize watering and fertilize.
• Leaves may begin to fall off. This is due to the dry air in the room. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the humidity of the air and spray it.
• If the flowers become pale, then the plant does not have enough sunlight.
• If the leaves are sticky and if they are strange in shape, it is necessary to inspect the culture. Perhaps she is infected with some kind of disease or virus.
• If burgundy spots began to appear on the leaves of the beloperone, this means that too much water is being introduced into the soil.
