Smooth sailing. How to raise it?

I. Culture environment

1. Flowerpots: the clay pots can be used for smooth sailing, and the size of the pots can be determined according to the size of the plant, with a diameter of less than 18-34 cm.

2. Soil: if you want to maintain smooth sailing, you should use soft, breathable, nutritious and humus-rich soil. Specifically, it can be prepared according to the ratio of garden soil: rotten leaf soil: fine sand = 4:3:2.

3. Temperature: usually maintain a temperature of about 20 ℃, no more than 24 ℃ in summer and no less than 10 ℃ in winter.

4. Lighting: smooth sailing and shade tolerance but not strong light tolerance. If you put it outdoors, shade treatment should be carried out in summer. If it is really raised indoors, it should be put in a place where the sun cannot shine directly in summer.

5. Moisture. Plain sailing likes to be wet and can't bear to be dry. The soil should be kept moist all the time and should not be completely dried up. When watering, it is best to water it down from the top.

II. Methods of reproduction

1. Sowing and reproduction: in October, smooth seeds can be collected after they are ripe, and the collected seeds should be sown as they are picked. First prepare a flowerpot and appropriate amount of flower soil, then sow the seeds, then cover with a layer of soil, and finally pour water thoroughly, put it in a 25 ℃, high humidity, semi-shady place for maintenance.

2. Ramet propagation: after autumn, cut off the small buds at the base of plain sailing and then go to other flowerpots. Also give it a moist and semi-overcast environment, and it will soon sprout.

III. Common diseases and insect pests

1. Leaf spot. If the smooth sailing leaves begin to grow spots, it is very likely to suffer from this disease. After discovery, the diseased leaves should be removed and destroyed in time, and sprayed with chlorothalonil or mancozeb.

2. Scale insects. If the number of smooth scale insects is small, you can brush them off with a brush, then remove the sick leaves, and then disinfect them with medicine; if there are a large number of pests, they should be sprayed directly.
