Zamioculcas has long been chosen as a decorative plant. No wonder - the juicy, bright and fleshy leaves of this flower will decorate any room.

The plant does not require special care, but it can get stuck in one place and even become bald.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to revive the "dollar tree".

Firstly, the plant loves light rooms, otherwise it will not look like a dense bush.

Secondly, you mustn't forget about the right pot. The flower doesn't need very spacious pots, otherwise the above-ground part won't grow and develop.

Thirdly, the plant needs to be fed.

What does zamioculcas like?

1. Like most cultivated plants, the “dollar tree” loves supplements with phosphorus and nitrogen.

The first element is needed for roots and tubers, and without nitrogen the greenery will look dull.

2. To bring the flower back to life, it would not be a bad idea to feed it with growth stimulants.

In particular, fertilizers should contain vitamins B3 and B12.

3. Another way to revive the plant is to add citric acid to the water for watering.

So, for 10 liters of water you need to take 1 tablespoon of citric acid.
