Although the requirements of Dishui Guanyin for soil are not very high, I have tried ordinary rural soil, nutrient soil, pure sand, and found that the growth of Dishui Guanyin with rural soil is relatively slow, thin and malnutrition; the growth of Dishui Guanyin with pure sand is good in the seedling stage, but the later effect is not good, and the Dishui Guanyin is relatively low; the plant of Dishui Guanyin cultivated with nutrient soil is strong, with large leaves, and Growing rapidly, it took six months for my dripping Guanyin to reach a height of more than one meter.
Note: if you have conditions, you'd better choose a better soil, not necessarily nutritious soil. You can configure fertile soil with good water permeability.
Some Huayou raise Dishui Guanyin like to use a small basin, and some like to use a large basin. Let's say that if Huayou wants to raise a small basin of potted plants, there is no problem in raising Dishui Guanyin in a small basin. Moreover, Dishui Guanyin will not grow very large due to the limitation of its root. But if Huayou wants Dishui Guanyin to grow very large, it must be placed in the living room as a large green pendulum. Choose a larger basin. According to experience, the larger the basin, the stronger the Guanyin is, and the better.
Dishui Guanyin likes semi Yin environment, but some Huayou's Dishui Guanyin grows well directly in the yard. Here, we need to explain to Huayou why others' flowers can grow well in a certain environment, but we can't. The plant itself has a process of adaptation to the external environment. Although Dishui Guanyin likes the semi Yin environment, it will adapt to other environments in order to live, but it needs a process. That is why some flower friends say that their flowers will not die in any way. That's because this potted flower has adapted to the environment.
Most plants grow fastest in the slightly wet soil. Some flower friends really ask others to water them once a few days. If they do what others say, the flowers will die. Why do they say so? The reason why they say they want to water the flowers is because the soil is dry and they need to water, but why does the soil dry? Because there are plants to absorb and naturally evaporate, and evaporation accounts for the majority. The situation of each family is different! It should be determined according to its own actual situation.
Methods: Guanyin small basin dripping water, basin soil dry can be watered, to ensure that water can leak out of the basin. Big basin, deep basin. If the surface of the basin soil is dry, you can dig the surface soil to see the color. If the soil below is wet or wet, you don't need to water it. Generally speaking, it's no problem that the deep basin is watered for half a month or even a month at a time.
Dripping Guanyin diseases and insect pests are the most red spider aphids, the symptoms are yellowing leaves, white spots on the surface, thin plants, leaves have mesh, treatment methods, can use a light soap water cloth to clear the leaves, the northern front must be cleaned, and then rinse with water, large basin can be spray cleaned, once a day for two or three days, insist on a week, the effect is more. Obvious.
