How to raise peacock arrowroot

1. Peacock arrowroot likes semi-shady environment, avoids direct sunlight, and adapts to grow in warm and humid environment. Family maintenance should be given a certain degree of shade, control temperature 12~29℃, winter temperature maintained at 16~18℃.

2, spring and summer are its growth season, need a larger air humidity, can be sprayed in time.

3. Peacock arrowroot has low requirements for soil, ordinary loose soil can be used, but it is required to maintain moderate moisture. During the growing season, fertilizer is applied once every 2 weeks. In winter, the soil can be drier and cooler, and the number of fertilizers can be reduced.

4. Peacock arrowroot can be propagated by root division and cuttage, which is simple to operate and has high survival rate.

Cultivation method of peacock arrowroot

1) Selection of soil. Peacock arrowroot potted with loose, fertile, good drainage, rich in humus slightly acidic loam, generally available 3 parts of moldy soil, peat or sawdust 1 part, sand 1 part mixed preparation, and add a small amount of bean cake as base fertilizer, avoid using sticky garden soil. The bottom of the basin is first lined with 3 cm thick coarse sand as a drainage layer to facilitate drainage.

2. Water demand. Growth period to give sufficient moisture, especially in summer and autumn in addition to often keep the basin soil moist, but also often spray water to the foliage, in order to cool moisture; it requires a higher air humidity, preferably 70% to 80%; avoid dry air, basin soil hair dry, but not water. Water should be controlled after late autumn to facilitate cold winter. In winter, dry environment is maintained, and if it is too wet, the basal leaves will be yellow and scorched, which will affect its ornamental value.

3. Light requirements. 5-9 The monthly growth season should be placed in a shady or semi-shady place, maintaining a transmittance of 40%-60%, avoiding direct sunlight, too strong light or dry air, which is easy to cause the leaf edge leaf tip to be scorched and the leaf surface stripes to be dull; but the light should not be too weak. If it is placed in a dark room for a long time, the temperature is low and the light is insufficient, it will also grow weak, which is unfavorable for the formation of leaf color and lose the metallic luster unique to leaf surface. In winter, direct sunlight can be received through the glass.

4. Fertilization requirements. When Peacock arrowroot is short of fertilizer, the plant is obviously short, the leaf color is dim, and the golden luster is not bright. During the growth period, thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 20 days, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 2:1:1, which can make the leaves bright and shiny. The proportion of nitrogen fertilizer should not be too large. For example, 0.2% liquid fertilizer should be sprayed directly on the leaves every 10 days, which is extremely beneficial to germination and growth. In winter and summer, the fertilizer should be stopped.

Notice of Peacock Bamboo

1. The roots of peacock arrowroot are shallow, so it is advisable to choose a large shallow basin, which will not affect the growth of roots, and the leaves will not appear top-heavy during the day. The basin soil is loose, permeable, well drained and nutrient-rich and slightly acidic.

2. Peacock arrowroot is generally changed in pots when dividing plants in spring, once every 1~2 years. When changing pots, new culture soil must be added, and residual roots and leaves must be cut off and re-cultivated to facilitate growth.

3. There are few pests and diseases of peacock arrowroot, but if the ventilation is poor and the air is dry, scale insects will also occur. Imidacloprid series drugs should be used for spraying control.

Cutting propagation method of arrowroot

1, peacock arrowroot cutting propagation should start in summer. First, select the young branches with about 3 leaves at the base as cuttings, or use creeping branches as cuttings.

2, secondly, can be mixed with peat soil and river sand evenly, to maintain a humid environment, after 5 weeks can take root and germinate. Pay attention to the growth of soil selection, to loose, rich in soil and good drainage of the best soil, promote growth.

3, finally wait until its germination, growth can be planted on the pot, when the pot, to advance in the basin pad about 3 cm of coarse sand, conducive to drainage, and then put in a warm place for normal maintenance. During cuttage propagation, pay attention to spraying water on the leaves frequently to keep the leaves moist and bright. It also prevents the leaves from turning yellow.

Peacock arrowroot cultivation method is not difficult, generally can be from temperature, soil, fertilizer, light and other aspects to start. If you want it to grow better, you can choose the cutting method to reproduce. There are some specific practices mentioned above that Members can pay more attention to.
