How to care for your broiler leaf - tips and tricks
The originating from Africa brood-leaf belongs to the thick-leafed plants and thus to the succulents. As the name "Brutblatt" may suggest, the "brood" forms in the form of small daughter plants on the leaves of the plant.
Plant the broiler leaf
The location for your nesting should be bright, sunny if possible. The blazing midday sun should be shunned. If it's outside, protect your hatchet from wind and rain. Dry heating air, on the other hand, does not harm the brood-leaf.
It is best to plant your brood leaf in a water- and air-permeable clay pot, at least two centimeters larger than the root ball of your plant. The soil should be well drained and loose. Light lime content is no problem. Well suited is special cactus or succulent soil. You can also mix normal potting soil with sand.
Pour the broiler leaf and fertilize
You should fertilize your broiler leaf only during the growth phase and also water does not need it in large quantities. When waterlogged, root rot easily occurs, so a good drainage is important.
Diseases and pests in the breed leaf
The hatchet is relatively robust and is rarely attacked by pests or diseases with good care. On too high humidity, it reacts quickly with mildew. This is easy to recognize by a meager growth, gray or whitish spots or rolled-up leaves. If the honeysuckle is overwintered or over-fertilized too warm, the flowers will stay out and long thin shoots will form.
The brood-leaf in winter
The broody is not hardy. Accordingly, it should be outdoors only in summer, but is also very suitable as a houseplant. In winter, it takes a cool break at about 10 ° C, otherwise it forms Geiltriebe. Pour it very little, so that the root ball does not dry out completely and stop fertilizing until spring.
