How to grow green radish so that it fills the house (How to grow green radish at home so that it is green and vigorous)

Choice of planting soil

Choose well-drained, fertile, loose, slightly acidic cultivation soil. For potted plants, you can mix 70% leaf mold, 20% garden soil, and 10% perlite for better results.

Such soil is loose and breathable, rich in humus and fertile, which is more conducive to promoting the growth of strong vines of green ivy, so that it can climb all over the wall.

Watering should be sufficient

Chlorophytum likes a humid growing environment, so the cultivation soil must always be kept moist, especially during the peak growth period in spring and summer. The potting soil should be kept moist and not dry. Water should be sprayed on the leaves and around them every day to increase the air humidity in the environment.

The amount of watering should be reduced in autumn and winter. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist and slightly dry in winter, so that its leaves will not turn yellow and will cover the walls of the house.

Light intensity needs to be appropriate

Pothos is a plant that prefers semi-shade or bright scattered light. It does not require much light and the potted plants should be placed in a ventilated and scattered light place for maintenance.

If the sunlight is too strong, the growth of the plant will be stunted, the leaves will wilt and curl, and in severe cases, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off.

However, it should not be kept in too much shade, especially for the variegated leaf varieties of green radish. If planted in a relatively dark place, the leaves will turn green. At this time, the plant can be moved to a place with bright scattered light, and the leaf patterns will reappear.

Topdressing fertilizer should be appropriate

During the vigorous growth period in spring and summer, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied every 10 to 15 days, or granular long-acting slow-release fertilizer can be mixed into the soil.

The specific method is to use a screwdriver to make 3 holes in the pot soil, with a depth of 5 cm, and put in 5 to 10 slow-release granular fertilizers. However, no fertilizer should be applied during the high temperature dormancy period in midsummer and the low temperature cold period in winter.

Keep the right temperature

The growth habit of green radish is to like high temperature, high humidity and semi-shaded environment. The most suitable temperature for its growth is 18-25℃.

Moreover, the vine-like plant of green radish is not resistant to low temperature and cold environment. If the ambient temperature is lower than 5℃, it will cause its leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Therefore, the growth temperature should be kept suitable to avoid cold and low temperature cultivation.
