The culture method of money pocket

Dichondra is a plant native to New Caledonia and now widely grown in the tropics. Money is called round leaf Nanyang ginseng, because its leaves are like a round belly pocket, so it is called money pocket. Put such a pot of green plants at home, very good-looking, the following pro-agricultural network to introduce to you about the money pocket breeding methods and matters needing attention.

I. the growth habits of money pockets

Before introducing the culture methods of money pockets, let's take a look at the growth habits of money pockets. Money is originally born in the Pacific Islands, likes a warm and humid environment, can withstand semi-shade, is more resistant to drought, and does not like a cold environment. When the summer light is too strong, you should pay attention to shade to avoid strong direct sunlight on the plant. However, you can not see the sun for a long time. It is best to keep a certain amount of light every day. Let's take a specific look at the breeding methods of money pocket.

Second, the culture method of money pocket.

1. Soil

As the money bag originated in the tropics, it has the characteristics of relatively resistant to drought, the requirements for the soil is not very strict, the drainage is good, of course, it is best to use loose, fertile, breathable soil. Do not use sticky soil.

two。 Light

Money pocket has a certain demand for light, but it can withstand shade, if the light is not strong, it will lead to the newly extracted branches and leaves slender, dark color, large distance between lobules, sparse plants, not compact and beautiful plant type. When maintaining in winter, we should move the money to a place with light indoors, which can be a balcony facing south. Because the sun is not strong in winter, we can bathe it in the sun all day. In addition to winter, the money pocket needs to be shaded for the rest of the year to ensure that the shade is 50% to 70%. The leaf growth of the money pocket has no obvious phototaxis, so there is no need to turn the pot in the growth process to avoid the money pocket growing askew.

3. Moisture content

When the temperature is higher than 33 ℃, spray water once a day to humidify and cool it. In spring, summer and autumn, it is better to keep the soil slightly wet and dry, and occasionally irrigate a little fertilizer and water, which is thinner and basically won't rot the roots, but the basin soil should not be too wet in winter, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot in the case of low temperature. If it is serious, it will die directly. generally, spraying water can be used instead of watering in winter, which can not only replenish water to money pocket, but also increase the humidity of the air, without causing the basin soil to be too wet.

4. Fertilizer application

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. Stop fertilizing after autumn to ensure its safety through the winter.

The above is the pro-agricultural network for you to introduce the money pocket breeding method, money calculation is a relatively delicate plant, the usual maintenance should pay attention to heat preservation measures, generally the normal overwintering temperature can not be lower than 10 ℃, the highest temperature in summer can not exceed 33 ℃, to ensure that the money pocket can grow normally in 20 ℃ ~ 30 ℃.
