How to raise Guanyin by dripping water in pots?

Dishui Guanyin, also known as Taro, Guanyinlian, Amorphophallus, etc., is a large evergreen herb of the Araceae, originally from the virgin forests of Southeast Asia and Australia, as well as in South China and Orchid Island. In northern China, you need to spend the winter indoors. In the south, you can grow in the open field. Corms and leaves can be used as medicine but highly toxic. Let's take a look at how to grow Guanyin in pots.

The growth habit of Dishui Guanyin

The growth temperature of Dishui Guanyin is 20: 30 ℃, and the lowest temperature is 8 ℃. It can grow normally as long as the soil is moist, sprayed frequently and shaded in summer, and the room temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃ in winter. Dishui Guanyin is a plant under the tropical rain forest, so its growth needs high humidity and scattered light. Dripping Guanyin is a shade-tolerant plant that likes a semi-shady environment and should be placed in an environment that can not only shade but also ventilate.

The breeding method of Dishui Guanyin

1. Ramet: the tuber of Dishui Guanyin will sprout with leaves every summer and autumn, which can be combined with turning the basin and changing the soil.

2. Sowing: the orange-red seeds are harvested when the fruit is ripe in autumn, sowed with picking, or dried and stored, and sown after the following spring.

3. Cutting: for perennial old plants, cutting can be combined with plant renewal and cut off from the base of the plant at a distance of about 5 cm from the unearthed surface for stem cutting propagation.

How to raise Guanyin by dripping water in pots?

1. Soil: cultivated in nutritious soil mixed with domestic peat with good drainage and ventilation, 2 ∶ 2 ∶ 1 pond mud, peat soil and coarse sand mixed with a small amount of retted cake fertilizer, mix peat with water, mix well with water, hold a handful of peat in hand, water seeps from fingers, wait for planting in cup.

2. Upper basin: for the old basin that is re-used, it must be soaked in potassium permanganate 2000 times solution for more than half an hour, then rinse with clean water and dry for use. Large potted plants are generally planted in pots with a specification of 20 cm. When planting, the substrate is about 4 cm at the bottom of the cup, and then the sieve seedlings are moved into the cup. The seedlings should not be planted too deep, and the base of the flat plant is suitable. The matrix is loose and tight moderately, loaded to 8 minutes of the cup, 2 plants per pot.

3. Spray water: dripping Guanyin especially likes to be wet. During the growing season, not only the basin soil is required to be wet, but also the air humidity is not less than 60%. When it is hot in summer, it is necessary to strengthen water spraying to create a relatively cool and humid environment, which is placed in the indoor air-conditioned hall, not only to ensure that the basin soil is moist, but also to spray water on the leaf surface from time to time. If the room temperature can not reach 15 ℃ in winter, watering should be controlled, otherwise it is easy to cause rotting roots. In general, spraying warm water once a week can keep the leaf color thick green.

4. Fertilization: dripping Guanyin prefers fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer should be applied every half a month from March to October, in which the proportion of nitrogen can be appropriately increased. If you can add a little ferrous sulfate, it is better to make the leaves as big as lotus leaves, smooth and pleasant. Fertilization should be stopped when the temperature is below 15 ℃.

5. Pruning: Dishui Guanyin is a foliage plant. Under the condition of improper planting and maintenance, the largest leaf will appear yellowing and drying up. At this time, it should be cut off with a knife together with the stem, otherwise it will affect the growth and ornamental of other leaves.

6. Change the basin: it can be cultivated in nutrient soil mixed with rotten leaf soil, peat soil, river sand and a small amount of retted cake fertilizer, or hydroponic culture, but attention should be paid to anti-rotting roots and adding nutrient solution. Usually change the basin once a year in spring, but loosen the soil once a month to keep the basin soil in a good state of permeability.

Matters needing attention in dripping Guanyin

1. The white juice in the stem of dripping Guanyin is poisonous, and the dripping water is also poisonous. accidentally touching or eating its juice will cause discomfort in the pharynx and mouth, and there is a burning sensation in the stomach.
