How to cultivate wave road

Wave growth conditions

Bolu likes a dry, well-lit environment, is not tolerant of waterlogging, and avoids strong sunlight exposure. The suitable growth temperature is between 20-24 degrees. The winter temperature must not be lower than 8 degrees. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam.

How to raise Bolu

The suitable growth temperature of wave is 20 to 24 degrees. It is slightly cold-resistant, but the temperature in winter should not be lower than 8 degrees, because the wave will stop growing when the temperature is 5 degrees, and it will be frostbitten and its life will be endangered when the temperature is below 0 degrees, so keep warm in winter.

Bolu likes sunlight very much, so in spring, autumn and winter, you can let it bask in the sun more when there is sufficient sunlight. The sunlight can make the leaves green and shiny, and the plant compact and beautiful. If it is exposed to strong light, the leaves will be burned by the sun, and the plant will instinctively shrink the leaves to protect itself, and you will see the phenomenon that the leaves cannot open.

Wave road watering

Every time you water the Bolu plant, you should follow the principle of "better dry than wet". That is to say, the amount of water should keep the soil in the pot slightly dry. A semi-dry and semi-wet environment is best. Because Bolu is drought-resistant and is relatively sensitive to waterlogging, be careful not to have water accumulation. Water once every 20-30 days during the growing season to keep the soil in the pot slightly dry.

When entering the autumn and winter seasons, the temperature gradually drops and the moisture in the potting soil evaporates slowly. At this time, the watering interval should be longer, and you can water once every 30-45 days. In addition, the water temperature needs to be consistent with the room temperature when watering in winter to avoid frostbite on the plants. It is best to do it at noon in sunny weather.

Wave fertilization

The growth of Bolu needs the support of fertilizer. If the soil is dry, you must add water before fertilizing to prevent root burn. You can apply some fermented cake fertilizer water or rice water and directly water it on the root system of the plant. This way it will be absorbed faster. You can also apply quick-acting fertilizer specially for flowers. Note that no matter what kind of fertilizer is applied, the concentration must be low. If the concentration is too high, it will easily cause root burn.

Pest Control

When maintaining the plants, if you water too much, have poor ventilation and lack of light, it will cause various diseases and pests. The most common diseases are root rot and brown spot, which can be controlled by spraying mancozeb wettable powder. Common pests include whiteflies and scale insects. When these two pests occur, you can use omethoate emulsifiable concentrate to spray them.

Bolu Family Raising Method

Loose soil with good drainage is more suitable for the cultivation of Bolu. You can add some gravel ash or leaf mold ash to the general garden soil to make its culture soil. The division of Bolu can be carried out in April and May in spring in conjunction with repotting. First, cut out the new and good young plants. If they have roots, you can plant them directly in another pot. If they are rootless, they should be cut into the sand bed first.

Wave road maintenance precautions

The pot for planting Bolu should be selected according to the size of the plant. It should not be too big or too small. However, as the plant grows, the pot will become smaller and the soil will become compacted. Therefore, Bolu should be repotted once every spring. When repotting, the overly long fibrous roots, old roots and rotten roots should be trimmed. At the same time, the old and dead leaves on the lower part of the plant should be trimmed off, and the roots and stem base should be disinfected with carbendazim.
