Method for cultivating taro leaves

1. Soil:

Amorphophallus likes clayey soil, which is mainly made of five parts of clayey soil, two parts of rotten leaf soil and three parts of sand.

2. Lighting:

The flower and leaf taro likes the sunshine and should not be too strong. If the light is not enough, the leaf color spot darkens, and the leaf grows and shows weakness.

3. Watering:

The flower and leaf taro likes to be wet and needs a lot of watering in spring and summer.

4. Temperature:

Taro is not cold-tolerant, the suitable temperature for growth is 25: 30 ℃, the lowest is not less than 15 ℃, the temperature is 22 ℃, the tuber buds and leaves grow, when the temperature drops to 12 ℃, the leaves are withered and yellow.

5. Fertilization:

During the growing period of taro, fertilizer was applied once a week, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied together, mainly nitrogen fertilizer.

How to cultivate taro with flowers and leaves? culture methods and matters needing attention

Flower and leaf taro, also known as colorful taro, colorful leaf taro, two-color taro, etc., are perennial evergreen herbs of the Araceae family, with beautiful leaves and many varieties, which are suitable for cultivation in the greenhouse. Summer is the main viewing period for colorful taros. The colorful colors of the leaves are full of coolness. Let's take a look at the cultivation methods of taro.

Growth environment of taro

Flower-leaf taro is native to the Amazon River Basin in South America. It likes high temperature, high humidity and semi-shady environment. It is not resistant to low temperature and frost and snow, and requires loose soil, fertile soil and good drainage. The optimum temperature was 20: 30 ℃, 21: 27 ℃ in the growing period from June to October, and 18: 24 ℃ in the dormant period from October to June of the following year. No less than 10 ℃ at night, 10 ℃ during dormancy, do not like strong light, and the shade degree is 3040%.

Propagation methods of Colocasia esculenta

The flower-leaf taro can be propagated by ramet or ball-splitting method. It can divide plants all the year round, but it is better to divide bulbs before leaf germination at the end of spring after dormancy in winter. Cut the balls around the cue ball with a blade, dry them for 1 day and then plant them. The mother ball can also be cut into pieces, each with bud eyes, which will be planted after 1 day of shade dryness, and the section should be smooth, which is conducive to wound healing and root formation.

Culture methods of Amorphophallus

1. Soil: Amorphophallus likes clayey soil, which is mainly made of five parts of clayey soil, two parts of rotten leaf soil and three parts of sand.

2. Lighting: flower and leaf taros like sunshine and should not be too strong. If the light is not enough, the leaf color spot darkens, and the leaf grows and shows weakness.

3. Watering: the flower and leaf taro likes to be wet, and it needs a lot of watering in spring and summer.

4. Temperature: Taro is not cold-resistant, the suitable temperature for growth is 25: 30 ℃, the lowest temperature is not less than 15 ℃, the temperature is 22 ℃, tubers sprout and grow leaves, when it drops to 12 ℃, the leaves wither and yellow.

5. Fertilization: once a week during the growing period of taro, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied together, mainly nitrogen fertilizer.

The method of cultivation and conservation of taro, also known as colored leaf taro, dichromatic taro, is a perennial herb. With tuber, plant height 15 Mel 40 cm, with tuber, oblate, membranous scaly leaves. Leaves basal, leaf blade qualitatively inserted, arrowhead-shaped ovate, ovate-triangular to round-ovate. Not only the leaf is huge, but also the leaf color is bright and the ornamental value is high. It is a newly popular indoor foliage plant. Flower and leaf taro, like high temperature, wet and semi-shady environment, not cold-resistant. During the growing period from June to October, the optimum temperature was 21: 27 ℃, and from October to June of the following year was the dormant period of tuber, and the optimum temperature was 18: 24 ℃. When the growth period is less than 18 ℃, the growth of leaves is not straight and it is difficult for new leaves to germinate. When the temperature was higher than 30 ℃, the new leaves germinated quickly, the leaves were soft and thin, and the leaf viewing period was shortened. If the room temperature is less than 15 ℃ during the dormant period, the tuber is very easy to rot. The soil requires rotten leaf soil or peat soil that is fertile, loose and well drained. Too wet or dry soil is disadvantageous to the growth of taro leaves, and the tuber is easy to rot if it is too wet. Taro like to scatter light, should not be too strong, hot sun exposure leaves prone to burn phenomenon, leaf color blur, veins dim, poor ornamental. If the light is not enough, the leaf color spot darkens, and the leaf grows and shows weakness. If the shading time is too long, the leaf is tender, the petiole is elongated, the leaf color is not fresh, and the petiole is easy to break. Light: like the sun, not too strong. If the light is not enough, the leaf color spot darkens, and the leaf grows and shows weakness. Water: like water to be wet. A lot of water is needed in spring and summer. Temperature: it is not cold-resistant, the suitable temperature for growth is 25-30 ℃, the lowest temperature should not be lower than 15 ℃, the temperature is 22 ℃, tubers sprout and grow leaves, when it drops to 12 ℃, the leaves are withered and yellow. Fertilizer: fertilized once a week during the growing period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were applied together, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. Soil: soil is required to be loose, fertile and well drained.
