1. Matrix selection: it is better to use loose and fertile sand loam with good drainage and air permeability. Two parts of river sand, three parts of rotten leaf soil, one part of peat soil and one part of coal cinder can be used for mixing soil, and a small amount of bone meal can be added as the base fertilizer.
2. Light management: it likes the environment with sufficient light, which can make its leaves bright green and compact. If it is cultured in a cool environment for a long time, the leaves will be sparse, the leaves will be dark and the plants will grow in vain. In addition to summer should take shade measures, the rest of the three seasons should be given sufficient sunshine.
3. Water management: it has relatively strong drought resistance, and should not be watered too much in four seasons, which is easy to lead to excessive length of stems and leaves, and loose plant type, affecting the beauty. When the basin soil is dry, it can be watered once, and it needs to be fully watered. Pay attention to avoid rain and water in summer, and control watering in winter to avoid root rot.
4. Temperature management: it grows well under the temperature of 18 ℃ - 28 ℃. Pay attention to keep the room temperature above 8 ℃ in winter.
1. Propagation method: it is relatively easy to propagate, mainly by cutting. The survival rate of the cuttage is as high as 95%. It can be carried out in spring or autumn. Use sterilized tools to remove the side branches with leaves on the top, cut off the lower leaves, dry the cutting mouth slightly, and then insert it into the wet sand soil. About twenty natural roots can be used when the roots are two to three centimeters long. Pay attention to the substrate humidity used in cutting, otherwise it is easy to cause yellowing and even rot.
2. Basin change method: the basin change is usually carried out in spring or autumn, and the basin can be changed once a year. When changing basin, should cut rotten root, cut short long old root, be advantageous to promote new root.
1. Rotten root: it's more afraid of waterlogging. Usually, it's necessary to avoid too much water in the basin. In winter when the temperature is low, watering should be reduced, or rotten root will be easily caused.
2. Insect damage: the possible insect damage includes root knot nematode and black elephant beetle. Once it is found, insecticide should be used for spraying in time. Insect damage often occurs in high temperature and wet environment. Therefore, proper ventilation and cooling measures should be taken at ordinary times for comprehensive control.
1. Placement position: it has small plant volume and beautiful leaf color. Potted plants can be placed in bookcase, tea table or dining table, or beside computer and TV to absorb radiation.
2. Toxicity: it has no toxicity and can be used as medicine. It tastes sweet and cool. It is an excellent potted medicine.
