The tortoise shell dragon is easy to keep. As long as it reaches the growing season, rooting is not a problem. However, you still need to pay attention to the soil in the pot not being too water-retaining. It can be placed in a well-lit place at ordinary times, but in the summer, it should be shaded to prevent leaf burns. In the winter, it must be placed in a place with a temperature above 5°C, otherwise it will easily freeze to death. How to breed tortoise shell dragonThe roots of the tortoise shell dragon are not deep, so when cultivating it, place it in a shallow pot filled with well-drained planting soil. Water it at the edge of the pot each time, and do not water it directly on the tuber. During its dormancy, it should be moved to a cool place, and when the weather warms up, put it back in a sunny place. 1. Suitable soil: The tortoise shell dragon has very high requirements for the soil, and is more suitable for sandy soil with medium fertility, breathable and drainage. It cannot contain too many rotten leaves, otherwise it will easily cause the tortoise shell dragon's roots to rot and grow slowly. You can add some Akadama soil or vermiculite to increase the nutrients in the soil. 2. Watering method: The watering method of the tortoise shell dragon is very simple. You can choose the immersion method or the one-time thorough watering method. In summer, follow the principle of "water when dry and water when wet". In winter, you only need to water it once every 4-7 days. 3. Fertilization method: The tortoise shell dragon is more suitable for thin fertilizer. Control the frequency of use at ordinary times and do not use too concentrated fertilizer. If it is liquid fertilizer, you need to dilute the fertilizer and water in proportion in advance and fertilize according to the growth of the plant. Generally, fertilize 1-2 times a month. 4. Lighting: This plant prefers a semi-shaded environment. Except in winter when the temperature is low, it needs more sun exposure. In spring and autumn, the tortoise shell dragon only needs to be placed in a diffuse light. Its daily light time cannot exceed 6 hours. Precautions for the maintenance of tortoise shell dragonThe tortoise shell dragon is a plant that is prone to root rot. Too much water will cause it to wither, so you must pay attention to the frequency of watering. If the leaves turn yellow, it may be caused by excessive fertilization. Reduce or stop fertilizing appropriately, and wait until the leaves return to green before continuing to fertilize. |
