How to raise a smooth sailing

1. Breeding environment

1. Light: The plant cannot be exposed to sunlight only, it should be placed in a place with bright scattered light.

2. Soil: Smooth Sailing requires loose, fertile soil rich in organic matter. You can use leaf mold or peat, garden soil, and sand, mixed in the ratio of 2:2:1.

3. Temperature: If the temperature is above 30℃ in summer, you need to spray water to cool it down to prevent it from going dormant. The environment should be kept above 5℃ in winter so that it can survive the winter normally. The ideal temperature is above 10℃ so that it can grow slowly; it can grow better at 15℃.

4. Fertilization: Generally, repot the plant once every 1-2 years, and add appropriate base fertilizer when repotting. Apply diluted nitrogen fertilizer once a month during the growing season as a topdressing.

5. Water: Ensure sufficient water. If the soil in the pot is completely dry, the root system will be damaged. If there is serious water accumulation in the potting soil, it will also cause root rot, causing the leaves to have dry tips, burnt edges, yellow leaves, or even die.

2. Common pests and diseases

There may be aphids, red spiders and other hazards in the home. When these occur, place it in a relatively ventilated environment. Once it occurs, it can be removed by manual cleaning, spraying tobacco water or manual methods. It is not recommended to use excessive amounts of pesticides.
