Szorstkowiec comes from southern and central China and Japan. The species name commemorates Robert Fortune who brought this palm to Europe.The trunk is covered with characteristic brown fibers.Roughwort is resistant to frosts down to -15 ° C.
Roughwater development
This evergreen palm grows in the ground (under natural conditions) over 10 m in height. It grows up to 2 m in a pot and grows much slower.
Szorstkowiec Fortunego - position
Rougher adapts quite easily to a new environment.However, it prefers sunny positions and sheltered from the wind.
Roughstone care
The palm is watered abundantly until the root ball is completely soaked.We carry out power-ups from April to September at three-week intervals. Every four years, transplant the plants to a larger container with fresh substrate.
For cultivation we use a substrate that is a mixture of coarse-grained earth and sand or gravel.We never cut the tip from which the leaves grow, because it has a growth cone. Cut brown leaves only when they are completely dry.
Roughstone wintering
We put the pots in the apartment (or in the winter garden) around the turn of October and November. We winter palm trees in bright, not very warm quarters.The best temperatures are between 0 and 8 ° C.We water it moderately, temporarily stop the power supply. We expose them to the open air in April.
Roughstorm of Fortune - application
Roughstone can be grown on balconies, terraces and in conservatories.
Tip
By cutting the brown leaves, leave slightly longer stumps of leaf shoots so that a smooth trunk forms.
