Yangxian cave turtle back bamboo needs to provide a warm environment, because its cold resistance is not strong, we must pay attention to keeping warm in winter. At ordinary times, it should be placed in a semi-shady place to avoid receiving direct light. It likes humid climate, so water it frequently, but not too much. Fertilizer is usually applied once a month during the growing period, and nitrogen fertilizer is mostly used. Change the basin every 1-2 years.

1. Soil

Guanyinlian prefers loose and breathable soil, which can be evenly mixed with garden soil, humus soil and river sand.This kind of soil has good air permeability and drainage, and is rich in humus, which makes the soil fertile.When changing pots, it is suggested to choose clay pots, purple sand pots and other flowerpots with good air permeability.

2. Environment

It can not accept the direct sun, just bought back must do a good job shading work.Excessive sunlight may burn the leaves, resulting in dull leaves.After adapting to the environment at home, normal maintenance can be carried out.Most of the home environment can meet its needs for light, and the summer half-shade environment temperature is also cooler.Especially in hot summer, we should do a good job of cooling treatment.In winter, as long as the low temperature is not less than 5 degrees Celsius, it can survive normally.

3. Watering

Like most succulents, it doesn't need much water.The growth period should be watered every 10 days, especially in summer, more watering should be done, about 5 days.But when you just buy it back, don't use a lot of water to irrigate it directly, so as to avoid soil accumulation and root rot.

4. Fertilization

There is no need to fertilize when you first buy it, so as not to burn the roots.After that, fertilizer can be applied once a month, using compound fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium content or decomposed thin liquid fertilizer.After fertilization, it is best to water once the next day to dilute the residual fertilizer that has not been absorbed, so as to avoid burning the roots.When repotting, a thin layer of fertilizer can be laid at the bottom as base fertilizer to be used as fertilizer before the growing period.
