For growing brigamia, a comfortable temperature range of 22 to 26 degrees Celsius is recommended.
Such conditions can and should be maintained year-round.
In winter, regular ventilation will be useful, but drafts should not be allowed.
What soil is needed for brigamy
Suitable soil must be permeable and well-drained, otherwise rot may occur on the root system.
To prepare the soil mixture, you should combine sand with purchased soil for cacti, which must be taken in equal parts.
The substrate must be slightly acidic (from 5.0 to 6.0) or neutral (from 0.6 to 0.7).
Humidity and watering
Increased humidity is necessary; for this, room humidifiers are used and regular spraying is carried out.
Once every two weeks it will be useful to take a warm shower.
Brighamia needs to be watered about once a week, but quite generously.
How to propagate Brigamia
You can propagate by seeds, but to do this you need to pollinate the flowers by hand.
Can be propagated by cuttings.
In this case, the cuttings themselves are taken from the top of the stem, and they grow there when it is damaged.
The cuttings are left for 2 days in the open air to dry.
