Cultivation of the nidularium

Nidularium - belongs to the Bromeliad family. It grows in Brazil. There are about 80 different species of this plant in the world.


This flower has no stem at all. All the leaves are quite stiff, and grow in a very dense rosette. The flowers are very large and red in color. It grows well at home in warm and bright rooms with high humidity.

The needularium requires quite a lot of bright light, but the lighting should be diffused, the sun's rays should not fall on the flower. If it grows in partial shade, it will not bloom, but it will still develop well. A great place to place will be the west side of the window window. If the windows face south, then the flower should be shaded at lunchtime. On the north side of the window, it will grow normally, only if it is properly and well cared for, but the leaves will be pale and it will most likely not bloom. In autumn and winter, the lighting needs to be normal and it cannot be shaded, so special lamps for additional light are used to help.

In the spring-summer period, the optimal temperature for the nidularium will be + 24 degrees, which is exactly the temperature it needs for proper development and growth. In winter, it should be no lower than +14 degrees and no higher than + 17 degrees.

Watering begins at the beginning of March and ends in mid-October during the growing season, watering occurs immediately after the upper soil dries. In the morning, water is poured into the outlet funnel. In winter, the nidularium is only sprayed if the air temperature in the room is below + 20 degrees. When the room is more than + 20 degrees, then water is poured into the outlet in the morning.

The nidularium needs high humidity. During the day, the flower is sprayed several times, and you also need to put a pallet with wet expanded clay, the main thing is that the bottom of the container does not touch the water. It is always necessary to wipe the dust with a wet sponge.

At first in May and until September every month it is necessary to fertilize the flower. Fertilize the needularium after watering into the funnel of the outlet.

It is necessary to transplant the flower every three years if it needs it. It is important to know that the neck of the plant should not be deep, otherwise the nidularium will wither and rot, which in the future will lead to its death. Before the transfer, you need to take a container and pour a good layer of expanded clay there. If the plant belongs to an epiphytic variety, then a soil mixture of humus of the earth, chopped sphagnum, perlite, peat and pine bark, as well as coal is needed. Terrestrial varieties of such a flower need another nutrient mixture of sand, humus, coal, coniferous bark, peat and sphagnum. The capacity should be quite wide, but not high.

Before sowing, you need to mix sand and peat, and then sow the seeds in the prepared mixture. But before planting, it is advisable to wash the seeds in weak potassium permanganate, and then dry them all and only then plant. The temperature in mini-greenhouses should always be about + 24 degrees do not forget to ventilate and spray the soil with seeds. After three weeks, the seeds will begin to germinate, and after a few months there will be sprouts, which then dive into the finished soil, and six months later the seedlings are transplanted into different containers. After 4 years, if the flower is properly cared for, then it will bloom. 1xBet Promotional offers for New and Existing Players: List of 1xbet Welcome Bonus Around the World What is the 1xBet Promo Code India and receive a 100% bonus on your 1st deposit, up to €100 for deposits on Wednesdays and Fridays, up to $500 for 20 lost bets, a free bet on your birthday, +10% bonus to winning the express bet.
