Does maple thrive as a houseplant? - Tips about the Zimmerahorn
Zimmerahorn has very little in common with the majestic maple species of our forests. Only the shape of the leaves in South American Abutilon species is reminiscent of sycamore maple, maple or field maple. The lack of winter hardiness is like fairies with a never-ending flowering period. Tips on the location and care of Zimmerahorn show what the beauty of flowers attaches importance to.
Bright, warm location is ideal
A window seat with mild sunshine in the morning or evening offers a room maple the perfect lighting conditions. On the other hand, the placid midday sun causes flowers and leaves to languish. A location on the south side of the house should therefore have the possibility of shading.
Abutilon species are not hardy, so their temperature minimum is 10 degrees Celsius. Pleasant temperatures of 19 to 24 degrees Celsius in the summer and 12 to 15 degrees Celsius in the winter at Schönmalven unreserved approval.
Care requires only basic knowledge
Schönmalve is the ideal plant for beginners. As the following tips for care show, the bar for a rich flowering maple tree is not high:
The conditions during hibernation determine whether the flowering spectacle continues or your room maple pauses for a winter break. In the dark location with temperatures of 10 to 12 degrees Celsius, the plant drops its flowers and leaves. In a bright place near the windows at 15 to 18 degrees Celsius, a beautiful mallow sees no reason to retire for the duration of winter.
Moisture meter indicates pouring needs
In winter, the correct casting of indoor plants is a special challenge. Too wet is just as fatal as too dry. Long guesswork about the current need for casting your room maple is a thing of the past if you put a moisture meter into the substrate.
Tips
Lice do not care if they attack an imposing maple tree or a flowering maple tree. Therefore, examine your garden maple and maple tree equally for aphids. Get the pests out in time, fight off the plague with soapy water from 1 liter of water, 50 milliliters of soft soap and 1 teaspoon of spirit.
