How to raise Jasper Flowers

1. Matrix: like to grow in loose and fertile sandy soil with good drainage and rich in humus, and the growth potential is poor in clay. Generally, the substrate can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, river sand and a small amount of mature organic fertilizer, and peat soil and perlite can be mixed under certain conditions.

2. Lighting: like semi-overcast or scattered light, except for sufficient light in winter, shading is needed in other seasons, especially in summer. If placed in a shady environment, it is easy to grow, the branches grow, and the ornamental is reduced, which is not advisable. Under the semi-overcast condition, the leaf color is brighter and the gloss is better, especially the variegated leaf variety, the demand for sunlight is a little higher.

3. Temperature: like the warm environment, the suitable temperature for growth is between 20-30 ℃, the overwintering temperature should be kept above 10 ℃, stop growing below 10 ℃, and it is easy to freeze under 5 ℃.

4. Humidity: like the humid growth environment, grow luxuriantly in the humid environment, the leaf color is bright, and the foliar spray should be strengthened or sprinkled in the growing environment when the temperature is high or the air is dry, so as to maintain high air humidity, which is extremely beneficial to the growth of the plant. It can also adapt to a short dry environment, but not for a long time, generally should be kept at about 70%.

5. Watering: prefer water, not resistant to drought, watering frequently during the growing period, watering more water when the temperature is higher than 25 ℃ or when the air is dry, but also to prevent waterlogging, when the temperature is lower than 25 ℃, the basin soil surface should be watered thoroughly when the temperature is less than 10 ℃, it can be dried for several days without watering.

6. Fertilization: a small amount of fertilizer is needed when the temperature is higher than 18 ℃, and less or not when the temperature is lower than 18 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃. Fertilization should be carried out in a small amount and many times, and diluted fertilizer solution instead of clear water is the best. It is not resistant to raw fertilizer and thick fertilizer, and it is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Foliar spraying fertilizer solution can also be used for fertilization, and the effect is good. Fertilizers are mainly nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, followed by phosphate fertilizer.

7. Pruning and reproduction: the newly propagated seedlings will pick the heart to increase the number of branches when the seedling is about 10 meters high, so that the plant type is fuller and the appreciation value is higher. The pruning of large plants is generally determined according to the growth trend, short cut and long branches, which can be used as cutting material, easy to take root, can be inserted in clean river sand or vermiculite, or directly in sandy soil. Propagation can also be carried out by leaf cuttings and ramets. In general, the ambient temperature needed for reproduction is between 20 and 25 ℃. The leaves should be inserted upright or slightly tilted into the river sand with a petiole, and the depth of sand entry is the petiole of 1x4-1ppm 3 to keep the substrate moist and the air moist.
