How do I care for thick-leafed plants?
In the family of the thick-leafed plants belong many different plant types, among other things Aeonium and Bryophyllum (Brutblatt). These are succulents, which store water in their leaves and thus survive excellently even in dry areas.
The right location for thick-leafed plants
A location with lots of light promotes a beautiful leaf-drawing on the thick-leaves and a strong growth. Dry heating air makes these plants little, but wind and weather damage them quite quickly. If the summer is warm and dry, then your thick leaf may like to spend this time in the garden or on the balcony.
Since it is not hardy, put your thick-leaf plant in the fall in time back to the apartment. It should not spend the winter in the heated living room. A cool hibernation at about 12 ° C contributes to vigorous growth and flowering.
Pour the thick-leafed plants properly and fertilize
No matter which type of thick-leaf plant you have decided on, it should only be moderately watered in summer and very little in winter. In some species, it has been proven to pour the thick leaf abundant, drain excess water thoroughly and then again to pour again in slightly dry soil.
Waterlogging tolerates no species of thick-leafed plants, so you should definitely use a very permeable substrate or succulent soil. Also suitable is a mixture of normal potting soil and sand or granules. Fertilizer needs your Dickblattgewächs only during the warm months.
To multiply thick-leafed plants
The proliferation of the thick-leaf is possible in various ways. For example, you can multiply a rosette-thick leaf (Aeonium arboreum) by head or leaf cuttings. All by itself, on the other hand, the non-toxic brood-leaf proliferates, namely by tiny daughter plants on its leaves.
