The optimum temperature for the growth of watermelon and pepper grass is 20-28 ℃, but the growth is slow when it is over 30 ℃ and below 15 ℃. The cold resistance is poor, and the lowest indoor temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃ in winter, otherwise it is vulnerable to frost injury. Ramet and leaf cuttings are commonly used for propagation. The culture soil mainly composed of rotten leaf soil should be selected for potted plants. Usually should be placed in a semi-shady place to cultivate, do not bright light direct. Apply thin rotten cake fertilizer and water once a month. If there is too much fertilization, especially too much nitrogen fertilizer and lack of phosphate fertilizer, it is easy to cause leaf markings to disappear and reduce the ornamental value.

II. Methods of reproduction

Split-plant propagation: can be carried out in the spring and autumn, select the plant with new buds at the base of the mother plant, combine turning the pot to change the soil, shake off the attached soil, and use a sharp knife to cut the new bud potted plant according to the position of the new bud. When ramet, pay attention to protect the root system of the mother plant and the new bud. It can also be poured out and divided into several pots when the plant is full of pots. Cutting propagation can be divided into branches and leaves. (1) Branch insertion can be carried out in spring and summer, select strong branches, cut 5-8 cm scions, remove the lower leaves, dry the cut, and then insert them into the wet sand bed. It can take root at a temperature of 18-25 ℃ in semi-shade.

Leaf insertion: it is mostly carried out from May to October. When inserting leaves, choose strong and full leaves, take off all the full leaves with petioles, take petioles of 2mi 3cm, dry for 2 to 3 hours after the wound is slightly dry, and insert them obliquely into the sand bed or basin at an angle of 35 ~ 45 degrees between the petiole and the seedbed, and the matrix uses washed river sand with 20% vermiculite of 30% vermiculite. Keep it moist, put it in half-shade, 20: 25 ℃, about 4: 5 weeks can produce adventitious roots and buds, and about 2 months can grow into seedlings. When the seedling grows to 4ml / 5cm, it will be transplanted into the pot. But avoid the medium too wet, to avoid cuttings rot. Avoid covering with plastic film or glass when cutting, otherwise it is perishable.
