I. cultivation of green leaf taro

Green-leaf taro is usually cultivated by cutting propagation, this is because its branch selection is relatively simple, if sowing culture, plants tend to grow more slowly, and the success rate is far lower than cutting propagation. In the robust growth of green leaf taro, cut off the sturdy branches, the length should be moderate, too long or not long enough will affect the success rate of cutting, generally 10-15 cm is appropriate.

Secondly, simply disinfect the wound of the branch, wait for the wound to heal to a certain extent, and then cut the branch into the soil. Attention should be paid to keeping a certain distance between the branches. after three to four weeks, the general branches can take root successfully. at this time, we should pay attention to watering the potted plants and cultivate them for a month or so. the plants can be transplanted to grow in an environment with sufficient light, and the potted plants can be normalized.

II. Conservation of green leaf taro

1. Lighting requirement

Green leaf taro is a typical semi-negative plant, it has a good shade tolerance; during its growth period, it does not need too much light, the plant is guaranteed to receive appropriate amount of astigmatism every day, and it is not suitable to grow under strong light. Especially in the summer period, too intense sunlight can easily lead to leaf withering and yellowing, generally starting from the leaf edge, the phenomenon is not obvious, if found, the situation is often more serious, so we should try to avoid this problem, so plants had better make full preparation for shade in advance, or put potted plants in shade to grow.

two。 Soil requirement

The requirement of soil quality of green leaf bamboo taro is not high, for family potted plants, it is more appropriate to choose humus soil or sandy soil as the main cultivation soil of green leaf bamboo taro, in order to make the soil have good water retention and air permeability, it is often necessary to add a certain amount of garden soil and river sand, and at the same time, put an appropriate amount of foot base fertilizer on the bottom of the soil to ensure the good fertility of the basin soil, so that the nutrient sources of plants are more diversified. There is no need to worry that sometimes too little fertilization affects the growth of plants.

3. Moisture requirement

Green leaf taro has higher requirements for water, during the period of plant growth, it is best to keep the basin soil in a moist state, because its drought tolerance is poor, if it grows in a relatively dry soil for too long, its branches and leaves are often prone to signs of withering, and failure to replenish water in time may also lead to the death of plants. Water should be watered about two or three times a week, and water should not be added too much or too frequently, so it is easy to greatly increase the probability of stagnant water in potted plants, so it is best to use tools similar to sprinklers for each watering. This makes it difficult for the soil to accumulate water.

4. Nutrient requirement

In the peak growing season of plants, such as spring and autumn, green-leaf taro needs more nutrients, generally topdressing once in 15-20 days, while in summer and winter, fertilization should be cautious and small. Plants do not have a high demand for nutrients during this period, if they do not pay more attention, it is easy to fertilize too much, which will cause the leaves to enlarge and darken and so on.
