P:I am asking for advice on a plant that is often grown at home, i.e. the common tongue. I received this flower in August. I exaggerated him - he has been ill ever since.
O:Common languageis a plant belonging to the familypineappleBromeliaceae. It can be neoregelia or nidularia - they are very similar to each other. These plants require a lot of light. In summer, they should not be exposed todirect direct sunlightas the leaves may get burned.The correct coloring of the leaves occurs only invery places bright
The substrate should belooseandthick-fiber , well draining to water. Plants are watered only with soft water (boiled and decayed tap water) at room temperature, directing it to the funnel-shaped baserosette leafThe center of the rosette should be constantly filled with water. The plant can be sprayed from time to time. They are transplanted in May.Draftsandcoldmakeleaves loseyour glow
During the growing season, the plants can be fed every 2-3 weeks with fertilizers forbromeliad . Fertilizers can also be usedfolistnie . At this time of the year, fertilization can no longer be carried out. Power resumes in spring.
Q:After being brought home from the garden, oleander began to drop leaves. In the house, he stands by the window in an unheated and ventilated room. What is the reason for this behavior?
O:Plants leave leaveswhen grown under conditions that are not suitable for them. Sometimes it seems to us that we have met all the requirements and the plant is still inbad conditionIt is not always possible to determine what is causing this condition. Oleander likes to hibernate at 5-8ºC, even inunheated roomthe temperaturecan be higher. In the event that the shrub stands by the window, it can be smeared with cool air during airing, which may also because yellowingandfalling leaves
If the plant has a lot of shoots, it is worth cutting allhard woodythat will not bloom next year, while saving young shoots. In winter, water the plants sparingly.Water for wateringshould be warm, not only during winter. In spring, bushes can be strongly pruned, in this way we will rejuvenate the entire plant.

Oleanders withstand drops in temperature even up to severaldegrees below zero , so it is worth to endure and not to bring it home too hastily. This favors next year's flowering. In summer, the oleander should bevery sunlitandsheltered from windsProvide him with plenty of watering - preferably he has "feet in the water".
P:I have a large yucca at home, which I got as a gift. For some time its leaves have turned yellow and fall off. I watered it twice a week without removing the water from the stand.
O:Yucca trunkstores water and should not be watered as often in winter. The water in the stand should always be removed, regardless of the season. Most plantsdo not like waterstagnating in their roots as it causes them to rot. This may also be the case here. Plants are watered less frequently during the dormant period than in summer. It is good then to moisten the yucca leavessoft ,damp clothThis prevents the leaf edges from drying out and infestation by spider mites. In summer, apart from more frequent watering, the yucca can be sprayed. They respond very well to this treatment.
An additional factor contributing to this behavior of the plant is the change ofplace of living plants .
If the roots of the plant are largely rotten, unfortunately, it is impossibleplant to saveMaybe they are not too badly damaged yet, in this casetransplant plants , cut off the rotten roots and changefrequency watering can save her.
