Although there is no requirement for the intensity of sunlight, but there is still a requirement for the length of time, it is best to keep the sunshine for more than four hours a day. It can grow in the open air for a long time and get more light. If you don't leave it outside all day in winter, because the cooling at night may frostbite the leaves, isn't it very distressing for the beautiful heart-shaped leaves to be frozen? Friends in the north should remember to keep it warm.

2. the demand for humidity

In different seasons, the humidity of the environment is different, so the control of humidity should be flexibly adjusted according to the specific seasonal conditions. For example, in summer, the rate of water evaporation is very fast, and it is easy to be short of water, so it is necessary to replenish water, and the surrounding environment should also spray more water to maintain the humidity in the environment; although the environment will be relatively dry in winter, but the water evaporation of green plants is not fast, so watering can be reduced, but spraying and moisturizing should continue. Watering is fastidious in both winter and summer, and the most important thing is not to water at noon, because the temperature at noon is the highest. Watering at this time can easily hurt the stomata of green plants and hinder their growth.

The common pests of heart leaf vine are shell insects and red spiders, and there are many ways to eliminate these two pests, so it won't take much effort to get rid of them. But the disease may be more intractable, usually leaf spot.

Fourth, pay attention to reproduction

Stem tip cutting is a common propagation method of Tripterygium wilfordii, but it will be difficult to obtain materials because of its short stem and dense leaves. If you want to reproduce in large numbers, you have to make it have a large number of new buds to sprout. The specific operation is as follows: select a healthy stem, cut off the stem with one or two air roots at the top, and then insert it directly into the prepared sandy soil. In addition, you need to pay attention to watering and moisturizing, and then you can put it on the basin after it takes root.

Then prune all the leaves you carried before, and after pruning the terminal buds, the lower leaves will grow new buds. If it is a rainy day, you can see new buds sprouting on the petiole in less than a week. After a period of maintenance, some of the shoots can be cut off and planted in a pot, which must be managed in a damp environment.

The above is about the management method of how the heart leaf vine grows luxuriantly. On the whole, the reproduction of the heart leaf vine takes some energy, so the friends must be more patient. How can you miss the plant that is so suitable for decorating the living room, study and balcony?
