The culture method of money pocket

Soil selection

Because of the origin of the money pocket, it has formed a strong drought resistance, so the requirements for the soil are not very strict, as long as it is loose and breathable. Do not use sticky soil.

Lighting requirement

From the end of spring to the Mid-Autumn Festival, money should be kept indoors or in shade to ensure 50% shade. Indoor maintenance needs to pay attention to, do not shade too much, otherwise the newly extracted branches and leaves are slender, the color is dark, the distance between lobules is large, the plant is sparse, and the plant type is not compact and beautiful.

In winter, move the money indoors in time. Pay attention to supplement the light, put it on the warm balcony to the south, and maintain the light throughout the day. Because the leaves of the money pocket do not have obvious phototaxis, so there is no need to worry in the growth process, because the light angle is different, the money pocket grows askew.

Moisture requirement

In order to take good care of the money pocket, we should try our best to create a wet and dry environment. For indoor culture, when the temperature reaches 33 ℃, water should be sprayed once a day to increase humidity and cool down. In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, it is better to keep the soil slightly wet and dry, and occasionally irrigate a little bit of fertilizer and water, which will basically not rot the roots.

Reduce watering after the Mid-Autumn Festival, or spray water instead of watering to ensure that new leaves can survive the winter safely. In winter, we should pay attention to spraying water to the leaves and the environment to ensure that the indoor humidity is above 50%. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the basin soil should not be too wet in winter, and it is better to be too dry, otherwise, in the case of low temperature, it is easy to cause root rot, and serious ones will die directly.

Fertilization method

Usually, the special fertilizer or mature liquid fertilizer for foliage plants is applied every two weeks during the growing period, and the appropriate fertilizer is selected according to different varieties. However, it should be noted that for mosaic varieties, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer application, so as not to reduce the pattern on the leaves, or even disappear.

After September, stop fertilizing, promote the Lignification of branches and ensure their safe overwintering.

Method of changing basin

Money pocket generally change the basin every 2 to 3 years, when changing the basin, choose the basin soil is fertile and loose, rich in humus. Must have good air permeability. After changing the basin, change the basin in a cool place for a week, suspend watering, and carry out normal maintenance after a week.

Matters needing attention in the culture of money pockets

Pay attention to ventilation

Indoor farming money pockets are not as good as outdoor money pockets. If the ventilation is not good, the leaves of the money pockets will wilt and may not die immediately, but the leaves will fall one by one, and they will die slowly if they are not remedied in time.

Watering problem

Money pocket is mostly large pot farming, basin soil is more, deeper, often once watered for a long time to dry, this time watering needs to pay special attention, do not water. Otherwise, too much watering will easily cause rotten roots and eventually die! So before watering, be sure to check the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, do not dry do not water, usually spray water!

Watering essentials:

The main results are as follows: (1) potted Fulutong likes wetter soil and air environment.

(2) during the growing period, there should be sufficient water supply, and then watering the surface of the basin soil after drying, the soil should be slightly dry, but it should not be watered too much to avoid causing stagnant water and rotting roots.

(3) the temperature is high in midsummer, so it is necessary to spray water on the leaf surface once a day in addition to sufficient watering, which can not only make the leaf surface clean and bright, but also improve the air humidity around the plant.

(4) in late autumn and early winter, when the temperature drops below 15 ℃, watering should be controlled.

(5) in winter, the amount of boiling water should be reduced, or water spraying should be used instead of watering, and the basin soil should be kept slightly moist and slightly dry, but when spraying foliage, attention should be paid to making the water temperature basically consistent with room temperature.

Temperature control

Beautiful plants will be a little more delicate, money pocket is like this. The most suitable temperature for the growth of Aristolochia mandshurica was 15: 30 ℃, in which the temperature from April to October was 20: 30 ℃ and maintained at 13: 20 ℃ from October to April of the following year. When the temperature exceeds 32 ℃ in summer, the temperature should be cooled and ventilated in time; in winter, the temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃, and if the temperature can be kept above 20 ℃, the stems and leaves can still grow normally.

What if the leaves of the money pocket turn yellow?

1. Soil discomfort

Soil discomfort is one of the causes of yellow leaves. The basin soil has not been replaced for a long time, resulting in soil consolidation and poor root growth. The root is in a state of shortness of breath for a long time, without oxygen, the root will gradually rot. Or because the pH of the basin soil is on the high side, the money pocket can not absorb enough nutrients and yellow leaves.

Solution: when it is found that a small number of leaves in the money pocket turn yellow, it is necessary to check whether the basin soil is hardened or over-acid and alkali. If the basin soil is hardened, the basin soil can be replaced once. If the basin soil is acid or alkali, you can mix some vinegar or plant ash to neutralize when watering.

2. Improper watering

Improper watering will also cause money to hold yellow leaves, if long-term excessive watering will make the flowerpot stagnant water and lead to money rotting roots. In addition, there is a lack of water, each watering only wet the topsoil, not deep into the root of the money pocket, so the money pocket will show leaf Yan and leaf yellow because of the lack of water.

Solution: if you water too much, dry the basin soil in time and reduce the frequency of watering. If you are short of water, you should work a little harder, but not too often.

3. Improper fertilization

When the money pocket is short of fertilizer, it will also show the phenomenon of yellow leaves and growth stagnation, or the application of too high concentration of fertilizer will burn the roots of the money pocket, or partial application of nitrogen fertilizer.

Solution: replenish fertilizer when money is short of fertilizer. If you apply too much fertilizer, you can pick up the incompletely dissolved fertilizer in time, then rinse the soil with a lot of water and let the soil dry as soon as possible. At ordinary times, we should pay attention to the frequent application of light fertilizer, and pay attention to the collocation of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

4. The environment is not ventilated.

If there is air conditioning at home, if you put it in the air conditioned room in summer and winter, it will form yellow leaves because the air is too dry. In addition, improper ventilation is also an important reason for yellow leaves, long-term indoor breeding, the environment suffocated, plants will form yellow leaves due to lack of oxygen.

Solution: when the weather is warm, put the money pocket directly in the outdoor maintenance, the natural environment is more conducive to its growth. In addition, if indoor farming is put in an air-conditioned room, pay attention to stay away from the air outlet of the air conditioner, put a basin of water next to the air conditioner, or often spray water on the money pocket.

5. Poor lighting

Money pocket is a foliage plant, the greatest ornamental value lies in the leaves, normal growth needs a certain amount of light. So when the money pocket does not come into contact with the sun for a long time, it will make the leaves lighter and yellow.

Solution: money pockets cultivated indoors can be moved outside to bask in the sun every 3-5 days or so. If the summer temperature is high, avoid the period when the sun is most violent at noon. In addition, don't move the potted plant frequently in winter, just put it in a sunny environment.
