Culture method of arrowroot

Round-leaf taro originates from the tropical rain forest of America, and is usually widely cultivated after it is introduced into China, because it is very shade-resistant, can be placed directly in a bright room and grows well. Even growing in poor light for a month does not have much effect, so it is very suitable for breeding in indoor environment. So is such a tropical green plant easy to raise? Next, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you the culture method of round-leaf taro.

1. Growth habits of round-leaf taro

Round-leaf taro is a kind of plant growing in tropical rain forest, but it does not accord with the heat-resistant characteristics of most tropical vegetation. The most suitable growth temperature of round-leaf taro is between 18 ℃ and 25 ℃, and it is not resistant to cold and drought, as well as the exposure of strong sun and dry and hot wind. But at the same time, it also inherits the characteristics that tropical rain forest plants like high humidity. During the growing period of new leaves, more water is sprayed on the leaves. If there is not enough water in the air, the new leaves will not stretch and the old leaves will gradually become scorched yellow. Let's take a specific look at the growth habits of round-leaf taro.

1. Temperature

Round-leaf taro likes a warm and peaceful environment, so it is not resistant to heat, is afraid of high temperature, and its cold resistance is poor. The suitable temperature for its growth environment is 18-30 ℃. When the ambient temperature exceeds 25 ℃ in late spring and early summer, it is necessary to build a shed for shade and spray water to create a cool, ventilated, moist and dark environment. The ambient temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 ℃. If the room temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will cause serious freezing damage to sleep. Generally speaking, at the end of autumn, taro should be moved to a sunny place in time for protection and overwintering.

two。 Light

Round-leaf taro likes semi-shade, avoid high-temperature exposure, avoid serious burns to the leaves. It causes the leaves to be dim and dull and loses its original sense of beauty. Therefore, it should be placed in the greenhouse to replenish light in winter. In daily life, it can be placed indoors as a potted plant, and should be placed in front of a window with sufficient scattered light.

3. Moisture content

Round-leaf taro likes the wet environment, so the growing season should be watered once a day, and the spray around the page and environment should be strengthened to keep it moist and not too dry. Strict control of watering in winter, basin soil is too wet will lead to poor drainage, root rot, so that the leaf withered phenomenon.

When the spring is full of flowers, the plant will reproduce new leaves. The germination of new leaves should not be watered too much, along with the increase of new leaves, gradually increase the amount of water, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the plant.

4. Fertilizer application

During the growing period, round-leaf taro should apply thin organic fertilizer once a week. Potted plants are suitable for viewing at home and in public places. In the high temperature season in summer, when the temperature is higher than 32 ℃, the fertilization of round-leaf taro should be stopped. At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, stop all topdressing, otherwise it will cause rotting roots.

These are the cultivation methods of round-leaf taro brought by pro-agricultural network. In addition to ornamental, round-leaf taro can also purify formaldehyde and ammonia in the air. Its rhizome contains starch and can be used as medicine. It has the effect of clearing lung heat and diuresis. Friends who have the idea of putting a pot of green plants at home can consider starting with it.
