The eight key points of dripping Guanyin in Water Culture bring up the spirit of dripping Guanyin.

Dishui Guanyin, also known as Dishui lotus and bergamot lotus, is loved by many families because of its broad, greenish leaves. But many people don't know how to breed them. Below, the editor will share with you the eight key points of dripping Guanyin in order to cultivate the spirit of dripping Guanyin.

What are the culture methods of dripping Guanyin in water culture?

1. Temperature

It likes warmth and grows rapidly when it is more than 25 ℃. The most suitable temperature for growth is 25-30 ℃. It has a certain ability to resist cold, and the overwintering temperature can be maintained above 2 ℃.

2. Lighting

Like semi-overcast, can not bear the exposure of strong sunlight. From May to September, shade should be provided to cover about 50% of the sun. The rest of the time should be given plenty of sunshine. Do not tolerate excessive shading, otherwise the petiole becomes thinner and longer, not only the plant shape is not beautiful, but also easy to break.

3. Watering

Because the leaves are huge and consume more water, so they are afraid of drought. Like the slightly wet soil environment, during the growth period of watering to master "dry and wet and wet", watering should be adequate, even if it is watered more. Especially in the hot summer, we should pay more attention to the supply of water to meet the water requirements of the plant. Because of the large leaf surface, water droplets often spit out at the leaf tip in the morning, which is very strange, so it is known as "dripping Guanyin". However, it is required to keep the basin soil moist at ordinary times to ensure that the plant absorbs enough water and rely on the root pressure of the plant to transport the water to the leaf tip and spit it out; when the basin soil is dry, there will be no water to drop. In winter, the moisture should be controlled to keep the basin soil slightly moist, as long as the leaves are not soft and sagging; if the basin soil is too wet, it is easy to lead to rotten roots.

4. Environmental humidity

Like the humid environment, avoid dry air, the growing season is sunny and dry, should often spray water to the branches and leaves and around, in order to maintain higher air relative humidity.

5. Fertilization

I like to be fat. Due to the large growth, it is necessary to supplement nutrients in time in order to make the stem grow stout, the leaves are large and bright green, and the leaves are small and yellow when lack of fertilizer. Nitrogen-based fertilizer should be applied every 10 days during the growth period. After autumn, people stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and topdressing 230 phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Stop fertilizing in winter.

6. Pruning

Yellow leaves should be cut off at any time. Because the petiole is long, it is necessary to avoid breaking the petiole when moving, placing and maintaining. If it is injured, it should be cut off in time.

7. Turn the basin

The basin needs to be turned once every 1 ~ 2 years. The requirement for soil is not high, but it likes the sandy loam with fertile, loose and good drainage, and the matrix can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, garden soil, peat soil, river sand and other materials. If sufficient basal fertilizer is applied, the leaves can be enlarged. Because of the large number of leaves and small number, long petiole, moving plants and maintenance, avoid damage to leaves, otherwise it will reduce the ornamental value.

8. Reproduction

The main results are as follows: (1) sowing: wild plants often bear seeds and sow in spring. The suitable temperature for germination is 25-28 ℃, and germinates 20-25 days after sowing.

(2) insertion: it will be carried out in April. The sturdy stem is cut into stem segments of about 10 cm long with several bud eyes as cuttings, slightly dried and then obliquely inserted or lying on the seedbed, with the depth of the stem segment buried; the cuttings can also be directly planted in the basin. Keeping the substrate moist and ambient temperature 25~2TC after insertion, it can take root and survive after 4-5 weeks.

(3) ramet: potted plants are easy to produce many small plants in the base, which can be combined in April. Turn the pot to split, separate the small plant from the mother plant and plant them respectively. Ramet should be carried out when the temperature reaches 20 ℃ or higher, and new buds can be produced in about 20 days on the basis of keeping the substrate moist.
