The land mix for acidizer is bought universal or is prepared independently with the addition of sand, perlite, nutshell, charcoal, bark - for creating the necessary aeration and drainage.
The soil is also enriched with leaf humus and / or coniferous, introducing sod land. When watering, do not allow a constant excess of moisture - it causes fusarium and rotten diseases of the rhizome of the Kislitsy. Drying of the soil is unacceptable.
Prilicum is propagated by seeds, tubers or cuttings with a leaf. If seeds, they are sown in the spring, the earth is not sprinkled, watered moderately, but often. Tubers are planted in early spring in a pot, sprinkled on 2 cm of soil, watered, left in a cool place.
Cuttings with leaves vertically placed in a pot of water, when roots emerge from it - transplanted into the ground. It is necessary to feed the plant with mineral fertilizers during the intensive growing season - April-August. Lighting should be sufficient, but not bright.
