The stem segments of several bud eyes are used as cuttings, slightly dried and then obliquely inserted or lying flat on the seedbed, with the depth of the stem segment buried as the degree; the cuttings can also be directly planted in the basin. Keeping the substrate moist and ambient temperature 25~2TC after insertion, it can take root and survive after 4-5 weeks.

Ramet: potted plants are easy to produce many small plants, which can be combined in April.

Turn the pot to split, separate the small plant from the mother plant and plant them respectively. Ramet should be carried out when the temperature reaches 20C or higher, and new buds can be produced in about 20 days on the basis of keeping the substrate moist.

Planting method and matters needing attention of Dishui Guanyin

1. Suitable soil

If the light is too strong, the leaves will wilt. But the flowering period should ensure that there is plenty of sunshine, otherwise the bud is light green, which affects the quality. Therefore, the dripping Guanyin at home or office should ensure about 3 hours of light every day.

3. Suitable temperature

Temperature has a great influence on dripping Guanyin. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-25 ℃. The temperature below 18 ℃ will go into dormancy and stop growing, which means moving indoors in time in winter to ensure a proper temperature. But when the summer temperature is higher than 30 degrees Celsius, the growth will also be abnormal.

4. Proper moisture

Dripping Guanyin needs plenty of water to grow, especially in summer, when the environment is muggy, spray water to the leaves at noon every day to increase air humidity, so that the leaves of dripping Guanyin will be big and thick. As long as the indoor temperature is high in winter, it can be watered normally. When watering, you need to ensure sufficient light, do not water on cloudy days, light and water cooperate with each other, dripping Guanyin will grow well.

5. Adequate nutrients

Dishui Guanyin is super fond of fertilizer, and once there is a lack of fertilizer, the stem of the leaf will be withered. So fertilize and water properly every two weeks. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is the auxiliary fertilizer. When topdressing, be careful not to pour fat and water on the edge of the leaves, which can easily cause the leaves to rot. Many flower lovers hope to ensure that the leaves of dripping Guanyin are big and green through fertilization, which is indeed a good way. Add a small amount of ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer solution each time.

6. The difference between hydroponic culture and soil culture.

The dripping water of water culture is similar to that of soil culture in light and temperature, but there are some differences in watering and fertilization. Hydroponic culture lies in changing water and adding water, changing water once every 7 days in summer and every 10-15 days in winter, adding a certain amount of nutrient solution each time. In addition, when changing water each time, clean the bottle wall of the hydroponic container to avoid the production of water moss. The other is fertilization. Water-cultivated dripping Guanyin generally applies foliar fertilizer. In addition to cleaning the leaves with clean water, it is necessary to spray foliar fertilizer once a week. It can not only provide nutrients for the growth of plants, but also increase the glossiness of leaves, and enhance the cold resistance of plants in winter.

How to cultivate Guanyin in potted plants

1. Dishui Guanyin matrix

Cultivated with a mixture of loose, drained and well-ventilated peat, pond mud, peat soil and coarse sand mixed with a small amount of retted cake fertilizer, the peat was mixed well with water and the standard of adding water: after mixing well with water, hold a handful of peat tightly, water seeping from the fingers) to be planted in the cup.

2. Dripping Guanyin on the basin

The old pots that are reused must be soaked in potassium permanganate 2000 times solution for more than half an hour, then rinsed with clean water and dried for use.

Dishui Guanyin especially likes to be wet. During the growing season, not only the basin soil is wet, but also the air humidity is not less than 60%. When it is hot in summer, it is necessary to strengthen water spraying to create a relatively cool and humid environment, which is placed in the indoor air-conditioned hall, not only to ensure that the basin soil is moist, but also to spray water on the leaf surface from time to time. If the room temperature can not reach 15 ℃ in winter, watering should be controlled, otherwise it is easy to cause rotting roots. In general, spraying warm water once a week can keep the leaf color thick green.

4. Dripping Guanyin fertilization

Dishui Guanyin prefers to be fat. Liquid fertilizer should be applied every half a month from March to October, in which the proportion of nitrogen can be appropriately increased. It is better to add a little ferrous sulfate, so that the leaves will grow as big as lotus leaves, smooth and pleasant. Fertilization should be stopped when the temperature is below 15 ℃.

5. Dishui Guanyin pruning

Dishui Guanyin is a foliage plant. If the Yang Lake is not suitable, its largest leaves will turn yellow and dry. At this time, they should be cut off together with the stem, otherwise it will affect the growth and ornamental quality of other leaves. Dripping Guanyin basin can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, peat soil, river sand and a small amount of cake fertilizer to prepare nutritious soil, in addition, it can also be hydroponic, but pay attention to prevent rotting roots and add nutrient solution. Usually change the basin once a year in spring, but loosen the soil once a month to keep the basin soil in a good state of permeability.

Common problems of dripping Guanyin

3. Why does Guanyin drip in the morning?

Dripping Guanyin drips water from the tip or edge of the leaf when the soil is warm and humid. If the air humidity is too low, the moisture will evaporate immediately. Because the temperature is lower at night, there is no sun exposure, and the air humidity is high, so the phenomenon of spitting water in the morning is obvious. Therefore, in general, water droplets spit more in the morning.

4. What's the problem when Dishui Guanyin falls down?
