Product description:

Zephyrantes is a herbaceous perennial belonging to the Amaryllis family. Among flower growers, the name "upstart" stuck to him. A wide variety of species and unpretentiousness have made this beautifully flowering plant very popular.

It was brought to us from South America. There it prefers to grow in tropical forests. Residents of South America often use it to treat skin diseases, burns and restore the functions of internal organs. Flower growers especially love it for its exuberant and long-lasting flowering.

Description of the plant

Zephyrantes is a charming flower that loves humidity. It grows in tropical forests and swampy areas. It begins to bloom massively during the westerly winds. The name in Russian means "the flower of the Marshmallow" – the god of the west wind. Among flower growers, such a name as a room lily has taken root.

His most popular name is "upstart", he acquired it by chance. This is due to the rapid appearance of the peduncle, which instantly shoots out of the bulb.

Attention! Zephyrantes is a poisonous plant. The greatest amount of toxic substances is contained in the leaves. When working with it, it is necessary to use gloves to avoid the appearance of unpleasant symptoms.

Characteristics of the plant

Zephyrantes has a bulbous root system. The bulbs are oblong, in some species oval or round in shape. The bulbs are small, only 0.5-3 mm long. Numerous leaf rosettes consist of bright green leaves of a pointed shape, which are 20-35 cm long and about 3 mm wide. Some varieties have hollow tubular leaves.

Flowering lasts about 2 months. Depending on the species, single flowers located on the peduncle come in different colors – yellow, snow-white, pink or purple. The flowers are medium-sized, similar to a crocus. They consist of 6 wide-opening petals of a pointed shape. Yellow stamens are concentrated in the center of the core. Each flower pleases the eye for one day, then it is replaced by a new one.

It is probably difficult to find a lover of flowering plants who would not be impressed by the beautiful flowers of zephyrantes robustus. His incredible transformation during the flowering period is admirable. The rate of formation of peduncles is also amazing.

Instructions for planting and care:

Care at home

Zephyrantes is a tenacious plant that does not require careful care. Even an amateur florist who does not have special skills can grow it. One of the main conditions for its growth is a sufficient amount of daylight. It is better to place the plant near the windows located on the southwest side. In the summer months, it is recommended to take zephyrantes out into the fresh air.

Lighting

Zephyrantes needs enough sunlight. Window sills located in the southern part of the room will suit him. On excessively hot days, you should create shading or remove the plant from the windowsill for a while to avoid overheating.

Air temperature and humidity

The "upstart" requires moderate coolness for normal life, so it is important not to allow the temperature to rise above +25 ° C so that the leaves do not dry out from the heat. On hot summer days, it is recommended to ventilate the room several times a day. The most comfortable temperature for zephyrantes is +18... +22 °C, and in winter – +14 ... 16 °C.

Watering and fertilizing

This native of moist forests is comfortable to be in moderately moist soil. At the same time, excessive moistening of the soil contributes to the occurrence of diseases and rotting of bulbs. It is necessary to ensure that the upper part of the soil has time to dry.

Some types of zephyrantes need rest after flowering. To do this, the pot is placed in a cool dark place and sometimes the soil is moistened – about once every 2 weeks.

Feed the bush with fertilizers about twice a month. Fertilizers in liquid form are more convenient to use. Zephyrantes begin to feed after a period of rest and stop after flowering.

Soil

Zephyrantes needs loose fertilized soil. You can use universal soil mixtures for indoor plants. To prepare the soil on your own, you need to mix in equal parts the earth, humus and sand, preferably large.

The pot needs to be low and preferably wide enough to accommodate about 5 bulbs and leave space for the appearance of children.

The optimal amount is 3-5 bulbs planted in one pot. This way the plant will look more voluminous and give more flowers.

With a single planting, the width of the pot by 3-4 centimeters should exceed the size of the bulb.

Blossom

The onset and duration of flowering depends on the type of plant, the conditions of its maintenance, the amount of nutrients.

Sometimes flower growers are faced with rare flowering or its absence. To make zephyrantes bloom, you need to carefully review the conditions of its maintenance. Due to improper care and insufficient amount or excess of minerals in the soil, zephyrantes simply does not have enough strength to bloom. Another reason may be an insufficient number of bulbs in the pot. The "upstart" does not tolerate loneliness and blooms well in the company of 6-7 bulbs.

After the flowering is complete, you need to cut off the peduncle, leaving 5 cm. After the remaining hemp has dried, it should be carefully pulled out. Dried leaves and flower stalks need to be removed to prevent infections.

Reproduction

The "upstart" reproduces by means of daughter bulbs and less often by seeds. Reproduction with the help of bulbs is the easiest way.

The cultivation of this plant from seeds is rarely practiced due to the complexity of the entire process. Flowering with this method of reproduction has to wait 3-5 years.

Seed

Seeds must be sown immediately after their appearance, otherwise after a couple of months they lose all their properties. Every month the percentage of germination decreases. Seeds are sown in shallow wells in boxes with peat-sandy soil. After that, the soil is thoroughly sprayed and covered with a film. The box must be kept at a temperature of +22 ° C and long-term lighting. Ventilation should be carried out 1-2 times a day for 10-15 minutes.

The first shoots will appear after 2-3 weeks. After that, the film is removed. The strengthened seedlings are planted in pots with earth for several seedlings in one container. After 2-3 years, you can expect the first flowering.
