The Alocasia flower just bought should be placed in a bright place with astigmatism, ensuring that the maintenance temperature is above 10 C, observing the whitening of the soil surface and watering after drying. If you want to change the pot, don't worry first, and then with the growth of the plant, gradually change the big pot every spring. When changing pots, we should pay attention to the operation with gloves, do not directly contact the juice in the plant body with hands, let alone eat, in order to avoid poisoning by mistake.

1. Requirements for Illumination

It is a light-loving plant and has a large demand for light.In addition to the summer sun to block, other seasons should be placed in a good place to bask in the sun.The high temperature and strong light in summer are easy to burn the leaves, so we should avoid it in time.Spring and autumn grow vigorously, and is the flowering stage, it is best to give it the whole day of the sun, so as to promote flower bud differentiation, later better flowering.Winter low temperature, weak light, only more sunshine can ensure the safety of winter.

2. Requirements for Soil

During cultivation to use loose, good drainage, fertile soil, and to ensure that it is acidic, alkaline can not be too heavy.It can be prepared by itself, mixed with peat soil, river sand and garden soil, and then mixed with a proper amount of organic fertilizer to improve nutrients, so that it can basically meet the needs and ensure vigorous growth in the later period.In addition, when watering in the later period, we should pay attention to adding appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate regularly, which can maintain acidity and benefit growth.

3. Precautions

Its cold resistance is relatively poor. If you want it to grow normally, you must control the temperature in winter.If it is in low temperature environment, it will affect growth and flowering, and the flowering period will be delayed.The nutrients consumed during the growth period are more, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time to ensure adequate nutrients.In addition, if potted plants are managed, they should be repotted every one or two years.
