How to grow Aspidistra

1. Breeding environment

(1) Soil: The requirements are not particularly strict, as long as it meets the following requirements: loose, fertile, and acidic. You can mix leaf mold, peat soil and garden soil. If conditions permit, you can also add some basal fertilizer.

(2) Watering: Aspidistra likes moisture, especially during the growth period, the soil must be kept moist. In addition to watering, spray water when evaporation is high, but don't leave too much water on the leaves. After the growth period, the amount of water can be reduced.

(3) Fertilization: It prefers fertilizer, but its needs vary at different times. Apply liquid fertilizer once or twice a month during the growing period. After the growth period, it's about once every two months.

(4) Light: Normally, provide scattered light, but don’t make it too dark. It can be placed in a well-lit place such as a balcony. Block out direct sunlight.

(5) Temperature: It is best to keep the temperature around 20 degrees. Special attention should be paid in winter and the plant should be kept in a warm place indoors.

(6) Ventilation: Open windows frequently during the day to ventilate the room and reduce indoor humidity, which can effectively prevent some diseases and pests.

2. Disease prevention and control

Once a disease occurs, it must not be ignored and must be treated promptly. First cut off the diseased parts and clean them up to prevent them from affecting other parts. Then spray the pesticide two or three times. In addition, the environment should not be too humid.
