Culture methods and matters needing attention of double-line taro

Double-line taro is a kind of herbaceous foliage plant native to South America, Brazil and Central America. Although it lives in middle and low latitudes, double-line taro is a kind of shade-tolerant plant, which is very suitable for indoor decoration, beautification and greening. Double-line taro can be placed in a sunny room for a long time, and it can be placed in a dark room for several weeks without much effect on its growth. So how should such a green plant be raised? Today, the pro-agriculture network brings you about the culture methods and matters needing attention of double-line taro.

I. the culture method of double-line taro

When it comes to breeding methods, it is inevitable to mention the growth habits of plants and understand their favorite growth environment in order to raise plants well. Double-line taro is a kind of plant that likes warmth and fertile soil. what is its breeding method? Let's take a look at this:

1. Temperature

Double-line taro likes warm environment, the suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃-30 ℃, the best growth temperature is 18 ℃-21 ℃ in daytime, 16 ℃-18 ℃ at night, and more than 10 ℃ can survive the winter safely. So in summer to prevent high-temperature exposure, and put the double-line taro in a cool place, pay attention to the cold in winter, transfer the plant to a warm room.

two。 Watering

The peak growth period of double-line taro is from March to October, and the air humidity should be maintained at 75% 85%. High air humidity is conducive to leaf expansion. As a foliage plant, leaf stretching is very important, so it should be watered more during the growing period. and often spray on the leaves. The best way to water is to spray the leaves in the morning, water the basin soil in the afternoon, and water the whole plant in the evening.

3. Light

Double-line taro is not resistant to direct sunlight, so we should do a good job of shading in summer. Let the double-line taro absorb the scattered light.

4. Soil

Double-line taro prefers fertile and loose soil to soil consolidation and stagnant water. Fertile humus soil and porous coarse media are generally used as substrates.

5. Fertilizer application

The fertilization of double-line taro should follow the principle of "a small amount and many times", and the mixed fertilizer of peanut bran and compound fertilizer or mature compost should be applied every 2 weeks in the peak growing season.

II. Matters needing attention in culturing double-line taro

After seeing the culture method of double-line taro, what matters need to be paid attention to in its breeding process? Let's go along with the pro-agriculture network to have a look:

1. Control the amount of water according to the season

Plants have a great demand for water in summer, so they should be watered 3mi 4 times a day. As the temperature decreases in autumn and winter, the growth rate of double-line taro becomes slower, so the amount of water should be reduced, once a day or once every 3 days, so as to keep the soil dry as far as possible.

two。 Avoid leaf burns

The summer sun is strong, and the leaves of double-line taro are easy to burn in direct sunlight, so put the plant in a place where there is no direct light. if you find that the leaves are burned, you should immediately cut off the leaves to avoid the invasion of pathogens.

3. Reduce the concentration of fertilizer solution

Stop fertilizing during winter dormancy and hot summer. Usually the concentration of fertilization should not be too high, otherwise it will cause leaf burns and, in serious cases, the plant will die.
