If the “dollar tree” is thin, refuses to grow, release new shoots and spreads old ones, then three tips will help.

The lushness of the zamioculcas indicates that the succulent likes to grow in the existing conditions. If growth has slowed down or is not observed at all, then it is time to take action.

Expert of the online publication "TUT NOVOSTI", agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared 3 tips that will help correct the situation.

Watering

Forget about frequent watering. This succulent does not like over-watered soil. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again.

It is especially not worth overwatering the plant in winter. During this period, good watering once every three weeks is enough. In summer, increase to once every 14 days.

The most incorrect tactic is frequent watering, little by little.

Tight pots

Zamioculcas roots like tight pots. Do not plant the tubers too deep. They should be almost on the surface.

Otherwise, the stems will begin to rot and the plant will not develop.

Top dressing

The plant should not be overfed under any circumstances. Also, zamioculcas does not have serious requirements for the soil, since it grows on sandy soils.

You can feed it once every 2-3 months, but not more often. In addition, the "dollar tree" does not tolerate frequent transplants.

Earlier we talked about the ideal place in the house for spathiphyllum. Here it will bloom and delight with its beauty for a long time.
