Qianteng like warm and humid environment, but very afraid of water, so watering should adhere to the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet, when curing, you can spray water on the leaves, increase air humidity.
Qianteng is a semi shade plant, so it's best to put it in the room with scattered light or under the eaves and windowsills with shade. Of course, more sun exposure in spring and autumn is helpful to narrow the pitch, make the plant compact and leaves full and fat. Like the picture below, it's good to put it on the windowsill. When there's strong light, it can be covered by curtains
The cultivation medium needs good drainage and air permeability. It can be mixed with sapropel + perlite.
Chuanqianteng likes to apply thin fertilizer once a month. Pay attention to dilution. Do not sprinkle undiluted liquid fertilizer on the leaves during use, or the high concentration of salt environment will kill the ugly spots on the surface of epidermal cells. It affects the ornamental value.
Chuanqianteng likes to be wet, but it is drought resistant. When cultivating, we should pay attention not to over watering. Many novices start to fear that it will not adapt to the environment, and fill it with water. But we should pay attention to that over watering will often lead to anoxia and rot of plant roots or rot of branches, which will eventually lead to the whole plant soft, spiritless and even dead.
The suitable growth temperature is 20 ~ 30 ℃, and there are no problems in spring, summer and autumn. But in winter, it must be noted that when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, it must be transferred to a warm room to avoid frost damage. Remember that frostbitten tissue is hard to recover.
The flower friends of Lu Yang Qian Teng should pay attention to Austria. In summer, they should play the spirit of 12 points, and pay attention to shade or move directly to the room. It's forbidden to spray the water string of qianteng under strong light, because the water temperature rises fast, it will burn the surface of the leaves, leaving spots very ugly.
