As the day gets longer and the sunlight increases, the plants receive more light. Thus, the photosynthesis intensity increases. Plants take up water and nutrients faster, so we increase watering, we can also start fertilizing the plants.
Transplant the tubers
We awaken to life the sleeping tubers of potted plants, such as caladium or syningia. Caladium tubers are transplanted to a new substrate with a high content of humus and placed in a warm (temperature 24-26 ° C), light and humid place. After the leaves have unfolded, the plant can grow at a lower temperature.Syningia grows best at 18-20 ° C. Leave 1 or 2 of the shoots growing from the rhizome, remove the rest.
Prune the plants
If we haven't done it in winter, it's high time to trim the plants to rejuvenate them, thicken them or give them the desired shape. This must be done before new leaves begin to develop from the buds. We make the cut over the knot. In order to rejuvenate and thicken the shoots, shorten by 1/3. By the way, remove dead, sick or too thickened shoots.
