(1) temperature and environment: Peacock taro originated in Brazil, like warm, humid semi-shady environment, afraid of low temperature and dry wind, poor resistance to low temperature, avoid sun exposure, and should be cultivated in shade in summer. When the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, the leaf edge is scorched, the new buds germinate less, and the leaves turn yellow, so water should be sprayed frequently to keep moisture and cool down. There should be plenty of sunshine in winter.

(2) soil: Peacock bamboo taro prefers slightly acidic rotten leaf soil or culture soil with good drainage, fertile and loose. The cultivated soil can be mixed with a small amount of mature base fertilizer, rotten leaf soil, peat soil and river sand.

(3) Water and fertilizer: peacock bamboo taro likes a humid environment and should be given sufficient water in the growing season. If low temperature dormancy in winter, it is necessary to control watering, keep the basin soil not dry, after pulling out new leaves in the next spring, and then gradually watering normally. Peacock bamboo taro is topdressing liquid fertilizer once a month in the growing season to supplement the nutrients needed for the replacement of new and old leaves, and can promote strong plants and bright leaves. When lack of fertilizer, the plant becomes obviously short, the leaf color is yellowish, and the metal luster is not new. The application of fertilizer should be based on phosphorus and potassium, and there should not be too much nitrogen fertilizer. Generally, 0.2% liquid fertilizer is sprayed directly on the leaf surface and washed with a small amount of water to prevent fertilizer damage. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is also very beneficial to the germination and growth of new buds. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.

(4) pest control: there are few diseases and insect pests in peacock taro, but under the condition of dry air and poor ventilation, it is easy to grow shell insects and whitefly, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of 25% imidophos emulsion or 40% omethoate 1500 times.
