This unpretentious weed does not need special care. She loves moisture and does not like extreme conditions: dryness and constant waterlogging.

Air humidity and temperature

Glucome need a little more moisture than other plants, so it can be sprinkled from time to time with water.

Boudra does not like heat. In summer, she feels good at room temperature and is excellent - at 18-20 ° C. She prefers to spend the winter "rest" in a cool room at a temperature not higher than 15 ° C.

Lighting

In nature, glucose grows well in the shade and in the sun. But in room conditions it is better to provide bright diffused lighting. For her, a window seat on the south side is suitable.

The soil

In the open ground, this plant quickly grows on fertile soil with a sufficient amount of moisture. Budra loves the same thing. Suitable for it is a mixture of turf and leaf soil, humus and sand in the ratio of 1: 1: 1: 0.5. On sandy soil does not grow.

Important! Growing and covering the soil, budra does not interfere with the growth of fruit trees or other ornamental plants. On the contrary, it benefits them: its “carpet” reduces the evaporation of moisture from the earth and suppresses fungal diseases.

Landing rules

For breeding, you can use stem stalks about 15 cm long, without flowers. Put them in water or temporarily put them in wet sand or in a mixture of coarse sand and peat. The roots will appear in about a week. After that they should be planted in the prepared soil. Budra can settle down well in any pot: either in a shallow pot or in a rectangular container.

Important! If you cut the stems in time, then this flower can be given any shape.
