Culture methods and matters needing attention of sea taro

Amorphophallus is a kind of herbaceous plant mainly distributed in southern China and Southeast Asia. Although it is a herb, the root of taro is very stout, up to 3 meters high, which is taller than most herbaceous plants. Therefore, it can be used as a large foliage plant to decorate a larger courtyard or garden. Below, the pro-agricultural network will introduce the culture methods and matters needing attention of taro.

I. the growth habits of Amorphophallus

Amorphophallus is a kind of plant that is easy to feed. It likes the growth environment of high temperature and humidity, and it is more shady. It is necessary to avoid direct light in the process of breeding, and grow very tall when cultivated properly. Therefore, if you choose potted plants, you need to prepare a large pot or a wooden bucket for breeding. Amorphophallus is a tropical plant, which will be very spectacular and have tropical scenery after growing up. Let's take a specific look at the culture methods of sea taro.

2. Culture methods of sea taro

1. Temperature

Sea taro prefer higher temperature growth environment, usually the temperature is above 20 ℃, if the temperature is too low, it is easy to stop growing in the dormant state, which will affect its growth and development. The safe overwintering temperature in winter can not be lower than 8 ℃, so it is usually necessary to move the sea taro to indoor culture in winter, or build a plastic greenhouse for it to form a greenhouse, otherwise it is likely to freeze to death in winter.

two。 Fertilizer and water

Summer and autumn are the main growing seasons of sea taro every year, at this time, we should add fertilizer to sea taro and increase the amount of water at the same time. Sea taro is a kind of fertilizer-loving plant, which can be topdressing once a week in the growing season, and some nitrogen fertilizer can be added to the fertilizer, which helps the sea taro leaves grow up, and when the sea taro is short of fertilizer, the leaves grow small and yellow, which is not conducive to ornamental. At the same time, sea taro is also a kind of water-loving plant, especially in the growing period, it must not be short of water. At ordinary times, it can spray more water to the leaves and its surroundings to increase moisture. The soil should be wet rather than dry. The dry environment is very disadvantageous to the growth of sea taro.

3. Sunshine

In summer and autumn, sea taro should be given proper shade to cover 50% and 70% of the sun. The sea taro is more tolerant to shade, and if the water and fertilizer is proper, the sea taro grows best in the semi-shady environment. However, if the sea taro is not given light for a long time, the leaves of the sea taro will grow smaller, and the internodes will stretch very long, and the leaves will turn yellow because of the lack of chlorophyll.

III. Matters needing attention in sea taro culture

Because the sea taro likes the warm and humid growth environment, and it is dry and cold outside in winter, it is very unsuitable for the growth of the sea taro, so we basically move the sea taro indoors in winter. But in fact, winter also has certain benefits to the growth of sea taro. Due to the soft sunshine in winter, it is a good time for sea taro to bask in the sun. Keeping sea taro with about 4 hours of light every day can make the shape of sea taro develop better. But the taro will be dormant in winter, so don't fertilize the taro at this time.

The above are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of the sea taro introduced by the pro-agricultural network, because the sea taro itself is poisonous, it is usually not easy to breed diseases and insect pests, and is more suitable for extensive management. in addition, the sea taro can also absorb dust and purify the air. it has a wide range of uses.
