Why does zamioculcas shed old leaves and how to make a lush bush.

 Many gardeners eagerly await the appearance of new leaves on the indoor zamioculcas plant. This is a very beautiful and spreading flower, but only if everything is fine with it. But sometimes it seems that new leaves are just beginning to form, but at the same time other old leaves are shed. And as a result, the plant becomes weak, and the greenery on it is sparse.

Features of natural aging.

 During aging, the leaves on the plant begin to turn yellow. This is a natural process that should not be interfered with. Zamioculcas sheds unnecessary substances into old leaves (for example, calcium, which comes from hard water), but on the contrary, gives valuable components to young foliage (nitrogen).

 The foliage of such orchids is incredibly beautiful. Thus, on the velvety surface you can see intricately arranged veins, which can be painted in different colors.

Daisy Plant.

 Daisies are grown in gardens in any good soil. Large-flowered varieties of daisies usually do not tolerate severe frosts, so they should be covered for the winter.

 Old specimens begin to degenerate and bloom with simple flowers, and therefore they should be dug up and divided into several parts; this operation is best done in the summer, after flowering. On June 4, 2023, according to the results of a vote on the radio show "Vroege Vogels", the daisy was officially recognized as the national flower of the Netherlands.

Poppies in the Meadow.

 The common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual wildflower that produces bright red flowers. The seeds of the common poppy can lie dormant for up to 80 years, germinating when the soil is disturbed. This led to it being developed as a symbol of remembrance after World War I, when bouquets of poppies grew on battlefields.

Poppies in the Meadow.

 The common poppy typically blooms from late spring to early summer. Although the flowers are often bright red, hybridization and selection have resulted in several cultivars with flowers in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and white.

 These poppies are low maintenance when planted in their hardiness zones, and are excellent for naturalizing. They also grow well in beds, allotments, borders, and pollinator gardens.

 Please note that all parts of the poppy plant are toxic to dogs and cats.
