Aeonium Haworthia

November 17, 2009

Haworthia Aeonium seems to be not very attractive representative of its genus. Wiry stems, trunk light, rosettes composed of dark green, succulent leaves rigid, no larger than 6 cm in diameter. In fact, this species was first aeoniem I got into when starting your collection.

I placed it between every other sukulentíky, still on okením parapet and the plantation grew slowly happily. With occasional watering during the season has created several new roses, but still it was not so good as I imagined look that should have.

I do not know what occurred to me then, but with the new season I took a nice plant, and when he passed a cold spring morning, I had to sazadila sklalky between houseleek, a place that was protected from the sun deciduous who sunburn. No special care, as I always dressing drenched rock. During that summer created eoium rich cluster of several dozen new rozetek. With the coming of autumn I plant in pots and transplanted zazimovala in the room with a temperature of around 10 ° C, among other succulents and let the winter go unnoticed. To my surprise, much to the EONIA. Lack of moisture during the winter began to produce aerial roots, which added to the whole cane atrakitvnosti so many that deserve Bonsai dish.

I admit that the worst of a large jekdyž flower pots I tightly into a small, shallow bowl. it's always either-or. Fortunately vajímečnou succulents have the ability to survive and live a little, just enough to really, making it grow for several years on a flat stone in just inches of clay soil groupings and echevrie graptoseda haworhie každoročeně and is one of the most admired exhibits on our show.

But back to our EONIA. In the spring, before awakening plants carefully so I surrendered the whole bunch, cleaned roots and left only a minimum of soil. It was April and the plant should be 1.5 months for it to take and could be part of the exhibition in a greenhouse at bonsajek Libochovice castle. Well, I must admit that the work is actually managed. Bush took, aerial roots zdřevatěly during the next year, thus the clusters substantially solidified in a bowl. Today, after 5 years is a beautiful Haworthia Aeonium bonsajkou, kteou always like to boast. It is worthy to note that to maintain the appearance and minimal growth (if it would suit me now grow at all) during the growing season really gets just enough water to keep the plant fresh and started to fade.
