The breeding methods and precautions of red Ruyi

Red Ruyi is a foliage plant of the Araceae family. The leaves of this plant are very beautiful. As long as it is maintained according to its growth habits, the leaves will show beautiful colors in all seasons. This plant likes scattered light and is particularly suitable for indoor cultivation.

How to breed red ruyi

1. Soil

When planting red Ruyi, you cannot choose the soil blindly. It is best to use soft humus soil, which can provide sufficient nutrients for the roots and has good air permeability, which is more conducive to the breathing of the roots. You can also choose sandy soil and add a small amount of fertilizer, which is more beneficial to the growth of the plant.

2. Temperature

A warm environment will be more conducive to the growth of red Ruyi. The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 19 and 24 degrees. It is not resistant to low temperatures, so when breeding in winter, the temperature needs to be controlled at around 15 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night should not exceed 5 degrees.

3. Lighting

Red Ruyi is a light-loving plant and requires a lot of light throughout its growing period. If the climate is mild in spring and autumn, it can be grown outdoors. In midsummer, it needs to be moved indoors to a dark location to avoid direct sunlight.

4. Fertilizer

When growing red Ruyi, you should not apply too much fertilizer, but you should not apply too little either. The specific situation can be based on the growth conditions of the plant. Generally, compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, or homemade fertilizer are used.

Precautions for maintenance of red Ruyi

1. Proper pruning

It is inevitable that the leaves of red Ruyi will turn yellow during its growth period. In order to avoid waste of nutrients and water, the entire yellow leaves can be trimmed off from the base to promote the growth of new leaves. If the leaves are too dense, appropriate pruning is also required.

2. Stop fertilizing in winter

During the growth period of Red Ruyi, sufficient fertilizer is needed to maintain growth. Usually, a certain amount of nitrogen liquid fertilizer is applied at intervals of about 15 days. After autumn, phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer can be applied to the soil. Fertilization needs to be stopped in winter when the temperature is too low.
