The old pots that are reused must be soaked in potassium permanganate 2000 times solution for more than half an hour, then rinsed with clean water and dried for use. Large potted plants are generally used for 20cm pot planting, when planting, first in the bottom of the cup cushion 4cm around the matrix, and then move the sieve seedlings into the cup, seedling planting should not be too deep, flat planting base is appropriate; medium tightness, loaded to the cup 8 minutes full, 2-3 plants / pot.

3. Spray water

Dishui Guanyin especially likes to be wet. During the growing season, not only the basin soil is wet, but also the air humidity is not less than 60%. When it is hot in summer, it is necessary to strengthen water spraying to create a relatively cool and humid environment, which is placed in the indoor air-conditioned hall, not only to ensure that the basin soil is moist, but also to spray water on the leaf surface from time to time.
