How to grow peacock arrowroot

1. Breeding environment

1. Humidity: The core focus in the maintenance process is humidity, and it has particularly high requirements for humidity. The ideal air humidity is between 75 and 85 percent, so in addition to watering, you should also spray the leaves and surrounding areas regularly to increase the humidity in the growing area.

2. Light: The peacock plant requires bright light and is afraid of direct sunlight. Too much shade will have an adverse effect on the leaf color.

3. Fertilization: Its requirements for fertilizer are not very high. During maintenance, generally giving it a thin liquid fertilizer once every two weeks can meet its needs.

4. Temperature: The recommended temperature for the peacock plant to overwinter is above 10 degrees. If it is too low, its growth will be inhibited and even frost damage will occur.

5. Repotting: When caring for the peacock plant, it is generally necessary to repot it every one to two years to meet its growth requirements for soil.

2. Pests and diseases

1. Red spider mites: During maintenance, the occurrence of diseases and pests is not particularly large. Common insect pests include red spider mites and scale insects. If red spider mites occur, they can be effectively controlled by spraying miticides. In addition, the humidity should be high, as high humidity also has an inhibitory effect on red spider mites.

2. Scale insects: When scale insects occur, you should promptly remove them with an old toothbrush. If this is the only type of pest, there is no need to spray pesticides.

3. Disease: If the humidity does not meet the requirements of the peacock plant, the leaves will curl upwards. At this time, put it back in a high humidity environment as soon as possible so that the leaves can unfold. However, if the leaves curl and dry for a long time, dry edges, burnt tips and even the entire leaves will appear dry, so maintaining a high enough humidity is an important part of its maintenance.
