Pruning and transplanting the Vicaria plant

This week I transplanted some plants, including the Vicarias. I have three colors: white, white with a red center, and red.

I pruned them because they were too tall. The cut was made to less than their total length. The mother plants were left small but strong, with three branches each, to begin strengthening them and encouraging more branching.

I arranged the others in a braid and placed them in the pot. I did this with two of them. I used three branches from the pruning of the mother plant, brought them together, and wove them like a braid. I placed them like this in a pot with black soil, rice husks, and compost.

Today, they look stronger, I mean, the branches I transplanted. Perhaps they will continue to grow stronger and become mother plants, leafy and with many branches to continue pruning.

This way, I get more plants and also apply techniques I learn online to have beautiful Vicaria plants in pots. I hadn't had much success lately with planting vicaria, but I think this time they have all been a success.

These plants are for sale. My customers really like this plant because some people use it for medicinal purposes, while others just use it as decoration in their homes.

I have never used it as a medicinal plant, but I have been told that it is excellent for eye problems.
I have read that red-flowered vicarias are used to regulate blood sugar. And fuchsia-colored vicarias are good for obtaining anti-cancer products used in chemotherapy.

I confess that I only use them to grow lush foliage, so that the colors of their flowering branches give a much more pleasant appearance to my home and to those who buy my plants.

So far, this is my post on the uses that vicaria plants can have at home.
