Zamiokulkas is a fairly new phenomenon indomestic room floriculture. This overseas visitor quickly became very popular, but not all new owners of this flower manage to keep the acquired plant. Although it is believed that zmiokulkas rather unpretentious in the maintenance and care, it happens that he dies immediately after moving from the store to the house. And the fact is that this plant needs a proper transplant. Perhaps, it is right to transplant or arrange a zamiokulkas and does not work for beginners. Therefore, we suggest that you learn the rules of this procedure, following which you will be able to transplant it without negative consequences for the plant, and, if necessary, plant it. In a word, we are studying the rules of transplanting zamioculcas for its successful cultivation in room conditions. 
Conditions for successful transplantation
If you follow a small set of recommendations, thentransplant zmiokulkasa will always be successful. Let's first understand these simple rules, and then consider the procedure of transplantation. For successful plant transplantation it is necessary:
Choice of dishes
In respect of the transplantation itself and the dishes in whichshould grow zmiokulkas, this room flower is rather capricious. Frequently improperly selected capacity can lead to death of a plant and complicate the procedure of transplantation. It is very important to choose the right container for the plant. One of the main errors of choice is too large or very narrow dishes for the flower. The optimal version of the pot size is low utensils, with a width a little more than the tuberculosis tuber. Why? If the pot is narrow and tall, the flower will be difficult to remove from the transshipment. And the flower growers note that as soon as the roots of the zamioculcus grow to the sides of the dishes, the flower begins to develop more intensively. As for the material from which the flowerpot is made, the zamiokulkas are not recommended for cultivation to ceramic pots. Firstly, the flower can die in such a pot from lack of space, and secondly, during transshipment, it is practically impossible to remove a flower from such dishes without harm to the plant. Ceramic pot can only be broken, but this will inevitably damage the roots. So, for growing and further safe transplanting of zamiokulkasa need a plastic pot, not very high and a little more diameter of the flower tuber.
Transplant procedure
After the zamiokulkas moved from the storein your home, he needs a first transplant. Only do this not earlier than two or three weeks of the adaptation period. Then the young plant is transplanted annually, and after four to five years - less often. The biggest mistake in the transplantation of zamioculcas is the liberation of the roots from the ground. Usually, after such a barbarous treatment, the plant is sick for a long time, and often it dies. To correctly transplant zamiokulkas, it must simply be transferred to a new pot with a clod of earth. To do this, the soil needs to be slightly moistened, and the walls of the pot to muffle. After this, the flower pot is slightly tilted and, tapping on the bottom, pulls out the flower along with the earthen lump. A new prepared pot should be slightly larger than the previous one. On its bottom it is necessary to pour the drainage and carefully place the flower with the ground inside the pot. After that, the space between the earthen lump and the walls of the pot is covered with new soil, tamping it with fingers or a stick. Transplanted zamiokulkas need to be poured, so that the newly poured earth in the pot sagged and poured soils to the level of the old earthen coma. 
How to arrange a zamiokulkas
To spend this indoor flower is necessary only infor the purpose of reproduction. If it seems to you that the plant is cramped in an old pot, then it simply needs to be transplanted into more spacious dishes. As you remember, the release of tubers of zamioculcas from the ground when transplanting the plant is painful. That is why it is not necessary to plant a flower without the need for reproduction. However, if you decide to multiply your zamiokulkas by dividing the bush, then try to carry out the procedure in the most gentle way. Remove the bush from the old pot, as in the case of a transplant, and free the roots from the ground. Now just try to separate the bush into two or three parts with the same number of stems, neatly separating the roots. If the roots intertwined very much, cut them with a sharp knife, rubbed with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. You can also share the tubers themselves (potatoes). For this, the nodules are simply cut in half sharply sharpened with a knife, and the slices are allowed to dry. Then the sections are sprinkled with pounded charcoal and the divided bush is planted in new pots. Do not forget, however, about the rule according to which the diameter of the pot should only slightly exceed the size of the tuber. Otherwise, your planted bush will "stall" for a long time in the state and size in which it was transplanted. And one more important point. The sealed zamiokulkas do not water for at least three days. A fertilizer is carried out only a month after the division of the bush. Here are some simple rules for transplanting (or rather, transshipment) zamiokulkasa and planting a bush. Be prepared for the fact that this flower reacts very painfully to moving to a new pot, even if the landlady has transplanted it according to all the rules. But if you have done everything right, then such temporary ailment will quickly pass, and your zmiokulkas will quickly return to its former form and will long please the lush greenery and elegant beauty. Good luck! We advise you to read:
