Description of Malvastrum

Malvastrum - creeping and erect grassy perennials, or small shrubs reaching a height of one meter, from the dry regions of the tropics and subtropics.

Malvastrum is distinguished by abundant flowering. The flowers of the plant are separate, small, dark pink shades. With careful care, flowering can be observed throughout the summer.

The leaves of different species are different, but usually lobed, somewhat similar to the leaves of abutilon, but only slightly smaller.

Malvastrum Care

Frost resistance is different for different species - some can withstand only the most minor frosts. In our latitudes, malvastrum is often grown as an annual in open ground, or in a pot culture.

Malvastrum is located in a sunny open area. In the initial phase of growth, the plant is watered moderately, slightly moistening the earth. Fertilizer is applied every two weeks throughout the summer.

Malvastrum can tolerate temporary drought, although additional watering in the warmest months makes the plant more decorative.

Growing Malvastrum

In order to stimulate subsequent flowering, the plant needs to cut off faded shoots.

For wintering, malvastrum is brought into the room in a bright place. The maximum air temperature should be from eight to twelve degrees of heat. In spring, pruning and transplanting to a new land. Type of decoration - the bush is decorated with a pyramid or a separate stem. Cut to the desired shape in early spring.
