Velvet arrowroot can be said to be the "king" among foliage plants. Its leaf shape and color are varied, and there are obvious patterns on the surface of the leaves. It looks fresh and elegant. It is lush and vibrant all year round. It has a very high ornamental value and is easy to cultivate. How to grow velvet arrowroot1. Temperature Velvet arrowroot prefers a warm and humid climate and has poor cold resistance. It will enter a dormant or semi-dormant state during the low temperatures in winter. It is best to move it indoors for maintenance and try to keep the room temperature above 13-18 degrees. If the room temperature cannot reach that high, wrap the plant in a large plastic bag to achieve the purpose of heat preservation and moisture retention. 2. Lighting Velvet arrowroot prefers bright scattered light. If it is kept in a dark room for a long time, the ornamental effect will be greatly reduced. Usually in spring and autumn when there is soft sunlight, it can be moved outdoors for maintenance, so that the growth condition will be better. 3. Watering When watering the velvet arrowroot, you can follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry. When you see the soil in the pot becomes dry, water it thoroughly in time, but do not allow water to accumulate. In addition, in summer when the temperature is high, you should increase the frequency of watering. In winter when the temperature is low, you should control watering and keep the soil slightly dry. 4. Fertilization The growth of velvet arrowroot also requires the support of fertilizer and water. During its peak growth season, it can be given a thin liquid fertilizer once a month to promote the growth of the plant. However, after entering winter, the demand for nutrients is relatively small, so fertilization is generally not required. Velvet Arrowroot Care PrecautionsVelvet arrowroot is not cold-resistant and is generally grown in a greenhouse in winter. To maintain it in this season, you can place it in a bright place indoors and provide about 3 hours of light a day. This will accumulate more nutrients and improve the plant's cold resistance, which is conducive to its safe wintering. When caring for arrowroot in winter, you need to reduce watering appropriately. If the air at home is particularly dry, you can spray some water on the leaves and around the plant at noon to keep the environment moist. Try to keep the water temperature consistent with the room temperature to avoid frostbite from large temperature differences. |
