Zzmioculcas has become one of the most beloved houseplants. With proper care, it can mesmerize with its beautiful leaves. There is a simple trick that can make the plant quickly produce new leaves. Just use an easily available product from the kitchen.

Zamioculcas is often found in homes. This plant, resistant to adverse conditions, can reach up to 150 centimetres in height. Even people with little experience growing houseplants will appreciate its low demands and resistance to pests.

Caring for zamioculcas is not complicated. Avoiding strongly sunlit places and opt for semi-shaded or completely shaded spots is important.

Exposure to excessive light can lead to the formation of brown spots on the leaves. The plant likes warmth, so avoiding drafts is essential, especially when airing out the apartment during cooler months. Cool air can cause the plant to wither faster.

Zamioculcas - how to water?

Watering zamioculcas should be moderate. Excess water can lead to root rot. This is especially important when watering should be reduced during the fall and winter months. The plant can handle both low and high humidity levels.

Gelatin fertilizer works great on zamioculcas

Although zamioculcas is simple to grow, a trick makes the plant produce new leaves faster. The key to success is gelatin fertilizer. The preparation is straightforward. Add a teaspoon of gelatin to 200 millilitres of warm water and mix thoroughly. Once cool, dilute the mixture with water (approximately 500 millilitres) and water the plant. It is worth repeating this treatment once a month.

Gelatin fertilizer gives the plant plenty of nutrients, making the roots stronger and the leaves more vibrant. Regular use of this natural fertilizer results in the appearance of new leaves.
