Location features
A large plant is usually placed in the opposite corner from the windows, so it must be shade-tolerant. Otherwise, you will have to arrange additional lighting. Such flowers require obligatory supports and fasteners.
Thinking over the placement of a large flower, everyone will have to be a bit of a designer: you need to understand whether you will put the pots on the floor or if you need a stand. Please note that in both cases, the container and the stand will become a noticeable piece of the interior, so their design should correspond to the general style of the room. They should not only look good with the flower itself, but also have a decorative design. There are situations when a pot for a large-sized plant decorates the house no less than its green inhabitant.
Please note that if the plant is already acquired by an adult, then it will take a long time to get used to its new conditions of existence. It is desirable that the flower be in the place designated for it all its life.

What you need to know before buying
First, before buying indoor flowers, you need to decide and understand the following:
What kind of plant do you want to grow in yourself and how much time are you willing to spend on caring. There is such a belief that it needs to be stolen and this is in principle justified, and this is not mysticism, but rather a practical belief, since purchased flowers are always costs, so we literally shake over them, we can fill in, overfeed, but the one that we took for free, we usually put it in a jar or immediately into the soil and practically forget about it, you see, such examples are common. And as practice shows, these flowers grow without problems. How many times have you seen huge indoor plants in large shopping malls, and on sale now these are mainly exotic indoor flowers
But even if you take a sprout or acquire an analogue, then over time this houseplant will grow and begin to displace you from the apartment, and you will have to decide what to do next, you should pay attention to such hardy plants, they are also called "reinforced concrete" (sansevier, fatsia , aspidistra, cyperus, asparagus, chlorophytum, coleus, ivy, monstera, philodendron, tradescantia, pellionia, pilea). But such indoor ones as croton, calathea, hypoestes, caladium, arrowroot, dizigoteka are quite difficult to grow, require attention and careful care.
And you also need to decide on the size of the plant, you need to take into account the methods of growth and its branching. After all, it is difficult to place a diffambachia or dracaena on a narrow window sill, because of the volume, a fern, even on a wide window sill, will not be able to show all the beauty of the hanging leaves. And it is advisable to know what this small harmless plant can turn into when buying.
Plant care
How to choose a location and lighting?
It is believed that the pandanus is the choice of busy people. The palm tree is unpretentious, it does without constant supervision, the most important thing in caring for it at home is correctly composed soil and watering.
A spiral tree looks great alone and in large spaces - a room that is too small and close to other plants will prevent it from growing and will spoil the view. An adult pandanus takes up a lot of space, ideal placement is a hall, winter garden. In summer, the palm tree can be taken outside - there it will feel great. All that remains is to keep track of the time spent in the shade and in the sun.
You can put a tub with a pet by the windows, which are looking at the sunrise or sunset.The tree needs bright but diffused light. An additional daylight source is installed no closer than a meter (but not more than six hours). It is recommended to rotate the tub with a palm tree, which will give a uniform stream of illumination and the leaves will not grow from only one side. If you give the tree the opportunity to grow greens as much as possible from only one side, then it can simply fall under its own weight.
Soil and fertilizers
There are ready-made mixtures for palm trees, but you can also compose the soil for the plant yourself.
It should contain clay and be nutritious, consist of humus, sand, leaf and sod land - in equal proportions.
The soil should be light and slightly acidic. We must not forget about drainage.
Pandanus needs to be fed regularly with fertilizers: in the warm season - twice a month, in the cold - once. Stores also offer a choice of liquid fertilizers, especially for palms.
Temperature regime
Despite the fact that the palm tree in its homeland is accustomed to extremely hot conditions, in the apartment it will not enjoy extreme heat. The room should be set and recorded at a temperature of at least 16 degrees in the cold season and more than 20 in the warm. Protect your pet from drafts, but you can periodically ventilate the area.
Watering and humidity
The helical pine throws out aerial roots during growth. In nature, they help the tree feel good in very humid air, in interiors they do not develop so extensively, so high humidity will be harmful. To avoid overflow, you need to monitor the soil - it should dry out from above, but not dry out on the way to the roots.
Pandanus can only be watered with filtered or settled water. In the summer - every two days, in the winter - every three or four. The main thing is not to transfuse the soil. Spraying is suitable for pandanus, not too frequent, otherwise water will remain between the leaves and rot will begin.
Pruning leaves and shoots
She is also a feature of palm trees - their thorns. Thorny leaves are not always convenient to wipe, but this is necessary to protect the plant from rotting.
Use gloves and a soft sponge to wipe off the leaves to keep your hands safe from cuts.
You should also cut off dried leaves in whole or in part, along the edges. The shoots appearing at the trunk and aerial roots should not be cut off. But if you wish, you can separate the children and transplant them into a separate pot.
Transfer
Pandanus is growing rapidly and needs to be replanted once a year.
Aerial roots begin to appear already in a plant that has reached three years old, but even if it seems that the pot is small, you should not change the place of residence of the palm more often.
The more often you expand the territory for the palm, the faster it will grow. And there is a possibility that over time it will simply cease to fit in the apartment, and you will have to part with it, giving it to more suitable institutions with spacious premises (school, office, etc.).
An adult pandanus requires a transplant every three years. You need to use the transshipment method. The pot - wider and deeper than the previous one - is filled with universal soil. A perennial palm tree that already lives in a large container on the floor does not need to be replanted; it is advisable to change the soil on the surface twice a year. These mature plants choose a denser mixture over peat soil. You can cook at home by mixing garden soil with peat two to one.
