The breeding method and precautions of the lotus leaf peppercorus

The distribution range and growth habits of lotus leaf peppercorus grass

distribution area

The origin of lotus leaf pepper is Brazil, which is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions.

Habit

Because lotus leaves are mostly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, it likes high temperature and humidity growth environment. It is not cold -resistant and drought -resistant. It requires sufficient light. It is better to scattered light.

Methods of lotus leaf peppercorus

Light and temperature

Lotus leaf peppercorus requires sufficient scattering light. It is best to avoid strong sunlight during the growth period. Its negative resistance is also very strong. When the summer sun is strong, it needs to be shade. In terms of temperature, the proper temperature of lotus leaf peppercorus should be kept between 20 ° C and 30 ° C. It is not cold -resistant. In winter, it needs to do a good job of heat preservation. It is best not to be lower than 5 ° C, otherwise frost damage will occur. In summer, do not exceed 35 ° C in the temperature. It should be appropriately shaded to strengthen ventilation to reduce the temperature.

soil

The requirements of lotus leaves have high requirements for soil and require good fertile drainage. Generally planting lotus leaf grass can be used for sandy soil. When potted plants, several types of medium mixed soils can be used, such as peat soil, corrupt leaf soil, perlite, etc., mixed according to a certain proportion.

Watering and fertilization

Lotus leaf peppercorus is not high in humidity, but it is better for moisture. During the growing period of lotus leaf grass, it is necessary to keep the pot soil moist, pour water once a day, and dry the weather can spray water on the leaf surface. However, pay attention not to be too moist to avoid rotten roots. Fertilization can be applied once or twice a month. In order to make the leaves green and green, more nitrogen fertilizer can be applied.

Precautions for breeding of lotus leaves

Breeding method

The reproduction of lotus leaf pepper is mainly breeding and leaf insertion. Sub -breeding can be carried out in spring and autumn, and leaf insertions can be carried out from May to June.

Disease

During the growth of lotus leaves, it is important to note that the root rot and stems of the pot soil are rotten and rotten, and the anthracnose is caused by too humid air. It is necessary to keep the growth environment ventilation and use drug spray treatment.

Other precautions

In rainy weather, you need to do a good job of drainage to avoid excessive rainwater, but the pot soil is too wet, and then rotten and rotten stems.

To do a good job of light control, it is too strong to burn the leaves and fade the color. Excessive shading will make the plant grow long, fall down, and lose the value of ornamental.
