Myrsina is a demanding houseplant, but with the right approach it will transform your interior.
The main conditions for myrsina are bright, diffused light and moderate humidity.
The optimal temperature for an indoor flower is 18-22 degrees Celsius.
It is important to avoid direct sunlight as it can damage the leaves.
How to care for Myrsina
Myrsina needs daily spraying of the crown and regular watering.
Spraying not only helps maintain a comfortable level of humidity, but also protects the tree from dust accumulation.
With watering, everything is quite simple; in spring, summer and autumn we recommend moistening the soil 2 times every 4-5 days, and in winter 2 times every 10 days.
How to root Myrsina
Reproduction of African myrsina in everyday life is practiced by cuttings.
To do this, cuttings 6 cm long are taken from the top of the plant and placed in a peat-sand mixture for rooting.
It is advisable to do bottom heating, for example, using central heating batteries.
Watering
In spring and summer, abundant watering is needed every 4-5 days, and the water in the soil should not stagnate.
The soil should have time to dry out a couple of cm inward between waterings; this is the optimal watering signal.
In winter, water more moderately - once every 7-10 days, so that the top layer has time to dry.
