Rabbit ears like dry environment, resistant to half shade, afraid of water logging, and afraid of sultry and humid. Therefore, special attention should be paid to watering.
First of all, because the rabbit ear has the characteristics of cold season growth and summer dormancy, it is necessary to adapt different watering methods according to the different characteristics of each period of the rabbit ear.
In summer, because the temperature is too high, the growth of rabbit ears will slow down or even stagnate, and enter into dormancy. Therefore, it is time to reduce watering.
But in summer, reducing watering is not to cut off water. In the whole summer, we should water the ear of the rabbit, otherwise it will cause the ear leaves to dry up. It can be watered twice a month. At night, when the sun goes down and the temperature drops, only a small amount of water is needed.
The temperature in winter is relatively low, and the rabbit ears may not be able to bear the temperature below 10 ℃. Therefore, the water should be cut off in winter, and the basin soil should be kept dry, so as to prevent the plants from freezing.
In the spring and autumn growth season, also do not water a lot, because the rabbit ears avoid water, so the basin had better not have water, keep the basin soil slightly wet.
The growth of rabbit ear is still slow, so the amount of fertilizer is also small.
Fertilization, in the spring and autumn growth season, can be applied once a month fee, winter to stop fertilization.
It should be noted that the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, otherwise the plant will grow in vain. When applying fertilizer, try to be careful not to let the fertilizer stick on the stems and leaves, or it may cause the leaves to turn yellow, the stems and leaves to rot, and the seedlings to burn.
