A Adam’s Rib It is much loved not only for its beautiful look, but also for its easy maintenance and for easily adapting to different environments. In addition, its leaves with cutouts make it have a delicate aesthetic for decoration.
You can grow it in vases and position on the ground, as they grow a lot, or use just one or two leaves in a glass vase with water. the landscaper Luciano Zanardoin front of the office Zanardo Landscaping, explains what are the ideal care to have a perfect Adam’s rib:
ideal place
The species, being adaptable, can be cultivated in different spaces. However, how like light, the chosen location needs to be clear. Spaces with half shade and indirect lighting are a good option for her. Be careful of the strong sunas they leave the leaves yellow and with holes, harming their useful life and growth.
In addition Adam’s Rib need a fresh substrate with good drainage to develop. Changing the vase every year is recommended, as it helps to prolong the life of the seedling. The size of the container should be slightly larger than the plant.
Finally, do not plant any other species in the same vase, as it may eliminate chemical substances, through the roots, that the others need to grow.
Water
Water your seedling twice a week – due to the wider leaves, it has more space for water evaporation.
In winter, the frequency should drop to once a week or every 15 days. To find out if your plant needs water, put your finger in the soil – if it comes out dirty, you can wait a little longer to water.
Cleaning
Cleaning the leaves with a sponge moistened with water is essential for the development of the species. Alternatively, a damp cloth can also be used. This task dusts off the seedling and prevents it from drying out completely.
