Whether it is for someone who wants an urban jungle or is a beginner in the field of plants, this is one of the most sought after types by Brazilians.
Adam’s Rib is well loved not only for its good looks, but also for its easy maintenance and easy adaptation to different environments. In addition, its leaves with cutouts give it a delicate aesthetic for decoration.
You can grow it in pots and put it in the ground, as they grow a lot, or use just one or two leaves in a glass vase with water. the landscaper Luciano Zanardiin front of the office Zanardo Landscaping, explains what are the ideal treatments to have a perfect Adam’s rib:
ideal place
The species, being adaptable, can be grown in different spaces. However, how like the light, the chosen position must be clear. Spaces with partial shade and indirect lighting are a good option for her. Be careful of the strong sunas they leave the leaves yellow and pitted, jeopardizing their useful life and growth.
Also, Adam’s Rib needs a fresh substrate with good drainage to develop. It is advisable to change the pot every year, as it helps prolong the life of the seedling. The container size should be slightly larger than the plant.
Finally, do not plant any other species in the same pot, as it may leach chemicals via the roots that the other species need to grow.
Waterfall
Water your seedling twice a week – because of the wider leaves, it has more room for water to evaporate.
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 before watering.
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.
