Fat woman silver
Silvery fatty or money tree is a succulent shrub that belongs to the fatty family. The birthplace of the fat woman is South Africa.
The silvery fat woman has a pronounced greenish-brown stem, thick and fleshy. The leaves are criss-opposite, oval, fleshy and leathery. The arrangement of the leaves is peculiar on the stem, it is characteristic only for this species. The leaves are arranged in pairs opposite each other, each pair is deployed perpendicularly around the stem relative to the previous pair and the next. The inflorescence of the bastard is racemose or paniculate, there are pale pink small flowers, the fruit is a multileaf.
When growing a fat woman in the open field in places with warm winters, its growth can reach up to 1.2 meters in height, and indoors it grows up to 60 centimeters.
The fat woman needs about 4 hours of diffused light per day, and in the summer she can be put in the shade on the street. The fat woman needs sufficient watering, you should not allow the leaves to drop and the appearance of dark spots. This indicates insufficient watering. In winter, watering can be reduced, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out. The fat woman is fed with complex fertilizer every two weeks. In winter, you do not need to feed.
The silver bastard reproduces with the help of seeds or cuttings. Young plants need replanting annually in the spring, while plants over 10 years old should be replanted once every two or three years in order to renew the soil. The soil must be loosened periodically.
The fat woman is an undoubted decoration of the interior of the house.
This flower really looks very beautiful. Moreover, just take care of him. A great plant for beginners.
I had a fat woman, like a tree, big, tall. She sat in a 15 liter container. It was such a pity when, 10 years later, she began to die on the sly: not just leaves fell off her, but straight branches, they seemed to dry out. Then, at one point, the trunk also dried up.
But I planted a new tree from the cutting. Now it is still not very large, but soon it will be necessary to transplant it into a large container.
But for me, on the contrary - the leaves began to fall off, but not because they were dry, but simply they were rotting. I think that the fault is entirely on me - it can be seen that I just poured too much.
