The dark green and white or light yellow feathers on the leaves of peacock and taro have a good texture and are fresh and clean. Place in the bedroom, living room and other places is a good choice. In addition, the characteristics of leaves stretching in the daytime and folding in the evening are more attractive. How is such a good peacock and taro cultivated? What's the best way to breed? What should we pay attention to in aquaculture? Please read on with me with questions!
The breeding method (basic knowledge) of konjac: the best breeding time: the konjac is usually propagated in separate plants, generally in April to may in spring, combined with basin and soil exchange. It is easy to rot and reduce the survival rate.
The best growing soil: the potted plant of konjac should be loose, fertile, well drained and rich in humic acid loam. Generally, it can be mixed with 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 1 part of peat or sawdust, 1 part of sand, and a small amount of soybean cake as the base fertilizer. Do not use heavy garden soil. When the basin is on, the basin bottom is first padded with 3cm thick coarse sand as a drainage layer to facilitate drainage.
Requirements for growth humidity: the suitable air humidity for konjac is 70% - 75%, and the humidity is higher when it leaves. Therefore, it is necessary to fully water the soil during the growth season, and keep the soil moist, but not ponding. In summer, spray water on the leaves 2-3 times a day, and spray water on the surrounding ground to increase humidity and reduce temperature, so as to facilitate its growth. In winter, water should be controlled and the basin soil should be slightly wet. In winter, the indoor air in the north is dry. Except that the leaves can be washed with clean water similar to the room temperature around noon in the daytime, it is better to cover with plastic film at night for heat preservation and moisture preservation. In order to keep the leaves fresh, clean and radiant, you can use clean water to gently scrub the leaves every half month.
Best growth temperature: Peacock and taro are not cold resistant. The room temperature should not be lower than 15 ℃ in winter. The suitable temperature for the growth of konjac is 18-25 ℃. In summer, the temperature should not be higher than 35 ℃, otherwise, the plant will stop growing and the leaves will turn yellow. The temperature shall not be lower than 5 ℃ in winter to prevent frost damage.
The best growth light: Peacock and taro like high temperature and humidity environment, strong negative resistance, light intensity of 30% - 40% is suitable.
In the bedroom, the beautiful peacock and taro should be cultured. Points for attention: propagation points: the peacock and taro are usually propagated in separate plants, and the pot and soil are changed in April to may in spring. It is easy to rot and reduce the survival rate. In the process of plant division, the mother plant shall be buckled out from the basin, the soil shall be removed, and each 3-4 buds shall be cut into one plant with a sharp knife. The cut shall be coated with charcoal powder for corrosion prevention. After cutting, the plant shall be immediately put into the basin, watered and placed in the half shade for slow seedling. After 5-7 days, the plant can be transferred to normal management. It is better to plant 3-5 plants in one pot. If only one plant is planted in each basin, more than 5 leaves and more roots shall be reserved, otherwise the survival and growth of the plant will be affected.
Application of fertilizer: in the peak growing season, thin liquid fertilizer shall be applied once every half a month. When applying fertilizer, attention shall be paid not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise, bad growth and development phenomena such as discoloration of leaves, thickening of leaves, softness of petioles, etc. will occur. Generally, the application ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 1:1:1, which can make the leaves bright and beautiful.
Basin soil replacement: generally, the basin of konjac is changed when it is divided into plants in spring, every 1-2 years. When changing the basin, a new culture soil must be added, and the residual roots and leaves must be cut off and replanted for growth.
Disease and insect control: there are fewer diseases and insect pests on peacock and taro, but if the ventilation is poor and the air is dry, the scale insect will also occur, and imidacloprid series of drugs should be used for spray control.
Attention to watering: in summer, spray water on the leaf surface 2-3 times a day, and spray water on the surrounding ground to increase humidity and reduce temperature, so as to facilitate its growth. In winter, the watering should be controlled and the basin soil should be slightly wet. In winter, the indoor air in the north is dry. Except that the leaves can be washed with clean water similar to the room temperature around noon in the daytime, it is better to cover with plastic film at night for heat preservation and moisture preservation. If possible, humidifier can be used to improve indoor humidity. In order to keep the leaves fresh, clean and radiant, the leaves should be gently scrubbed with water every half a month or so.
Pay attention to fertilization: the plant is obviously short, the leaf color is dim and the golden luster is not bright when the peacock taro is short of fertilizer. In the growth period, the application of thin liquid fertilizer once every 20 days, the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be 1:1:1, which can make the leaves bright and bright, and avoid excessive proportion of nitrogen fertilizer. For example, the application of 0.2% liquid fertilizer directly on the leaves every 10 days is extremely beneficial to germination and growth. Stop rotating fertilizer in winter and summer.
The experience of the cultivation of konjac: the roots of konjac are shallow, so it is better to choose a shallow basin with a large mouth, which will not affect the growth of roots, and the leaves will not appear heavy in the daytime. The basin soil is loose, permeable, well drained and nutritious.
