How to raise double-line taro culture methods and matters needing attention

Double-line taro is a kind of ornamental plant whose leaves are relatively large and evergreen. There will be some white lines on the leaves, which is very special. Double-line taro is a kind of plant which is very suitable for domestic cultivation and has the function of purifying air. So how to breed it in order to make it grow well?

How to raise double-line taro

1. The suitable growth temperature of double-line taro is 20-30 ℃, the best growth temperature is 18-21 ℃ in daytime, 16-18 ℃ at night, and the safe overwintering temperature is 10 ℃. Therefore, in summer to prevent high temperature exposure, put it in a cool place; winter should pay attention to cold, plants can be moved to a windless, warmer indoor winter.

2. Double-line taro avoid direct sunlight and grow better under indirect radiation or scattered light. Especially in summer, direct sunlight can easily cause leaf burns, so the production is cultivated under the artificial control of light with a shading net with a refractive index of 75% and 80%. If leaf burns are found, immediately move them to places without direct light or shaded facilities or in the shade of trees, and cut off the burnt leaves to prevent other pathogenic bacteria from invading from the wound. At the same time, strengthen the management of water and fertilizer.

Culture method of double-line Taro

1. Temperature. Double-line taro likes warm environment, the suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃-30 ℃, the best growth temperature is 18 ℃-21 ℃ in daytime, 16 ℃-18 ℃ at night, and more than 10 ℃ can survive the winter safely. So in summer to prevent high-temperature exposure, and put the double-line taro in a cool place, pay attention to the cold in winter, transfer the plant indoors.

2. Watering. The peak growth period of double-line taro is from March to October, and the air humidity should be maintained at 75% 85%. The high air humidity is beneficial to the development of leaves, so they should be watered more during the growing period and often sprayed to the leaves. The appropriate watering method is to spray the leaves in the morning, water the basin soil in the afternoon, and irrigate the whole plant in the evening.

3. Light. Double-line taro is not resistant to direct sunlight, so we should do a good job of shading in summer. Let the double-line taro absorb the scattered light.

4. Soil. Double-line taro prefers fertile and loose soil to soil consolidation and stagnant water. Fertile humus soil and porous coarse media are generally used as substrates.

5. Fertilization. The fertilization of double-line taro should follow the principle of "a small amount and many times", and the mixed fertilizer of peanut bran and compound fertilizer or mature compost should be applied every 2 weeks in the peak growing season.

Matters needing attention of double-line taro

1. The sun is strong in summer, and the leaves of double-line taro are easy to burn in direct sunlight, so put the plant in a place where there is no direct light. if you find that the leaves are burned, you should cut off the leaves immediately to avoid the invasion of pathogens.

2. Stop fertilization during dormant period in winter and hot period in summer. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high, otherwise it will cause leaf burns and in severe cases the plant will die.

Common diseases of double-line taro and their control methods

1. White silk disease. Prevention and control method: 0.2% of the soil weight of 70% pentachloronitrobenzene can be added to the basin soil to sterilize the soil. When the sclerotia is not formed, the diseased plants are uprooted, the soil is discarded and the new soil is used. In daily maintenance, we should always pay attention to ventilation, planting is not too dense.

2. Leaf spot. Prevention and control methods: increase the application of base fertilizer to ensure the fertility of the soil and enhance disease resistance. It is found that the diseased leaves are removed in time to prevent and control the further spread of germs. if the disease is more serious, it should be disposed of in time. Before the onset of the disease, you can spray 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 500,600 times liquid or spray 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 1000 times liquid plus 70% methyl thiobacillus wettable powder 1000 times liquid for prevention and treatment.

The culture method of double-line taro can start with its growth habits, and it must do a good job of temperature and light when breeding, it can not accept the direct light for a long time, so it is best to do shading treatment in summer. The disease prevention and control of double-line taro is also very important and must be done in place.
