How to grow green radish

The green radish is evergreen all year round, and its branches and stems are thin and soft and have strong winding ability, which can be used for shaping and modification, and is loved by many friends. However, if you want to grow green radish quickly and well, you must master the cultivation methods . The following editor will introduce the cultivation methods of green radish. Let’s take a look.

1. Soil

Pothos likes fertile, loose and well-breathed soil. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand, or add an appropriate amount of decomposed animal manure or chopped dead leaves to the soil to increase the fertility and softness of the soil. The soil for the green radish needs to be changed at least once a year to ensure sufficient nutrients and air permeability of the soil.

2. Lighting

Pothos prefers bright but indirect lighting environment and can be grown in a bright place indoors. In summer, direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burns; in winter, the lighting time can be increased appropriately to increase the indoor temperature and promote the growth of green radish.

3. Temperature

Pothos prefers a warm and humid environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is 15-25℃. In winter, the room temperature needs to be kept above 10℃ to avoid frost damage; in summer, direct high temperatures must be avoided to prevent leaf dehydration.

4. Watering

Pothos likes moisture but cannot tolerate waterlogging. When watering, you need to follow the principle of "water thoroughly when the soil is dry". During the growing period, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, but not waterlogged. When watering, it is best to use dried water to avoid damaging the root system due to low water temperature.

5. Fertilization

Pothos grows quickly and has a relatively high demand for fertilizer . During the growth period, fertilizer should be applied regularly to supplement nutrients. You can choose nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer , dilute it and water it into the potting soil, and be careful to keep it away from the roots to avoid burns. You can also use foliar spraying to supplement nutrients. In autumn and winter, plants grow slowly, and the frequency and amount of fertilization should be reduced appropriately to avoid fertilizer damage.

6. Pruning

Pothos grows quickly and its branches tend to become tangled. Therefore, regular pruning and shaping are required to maintain the beauty and ventilation and light transmission of the plant. When pruning, you can cut off weak branches, diseased branches, overcrowded branches and other branches that are not conducive to the growth of the plant. At the same time, you can also pinch off the branches as needed to promote the growth of side branches.

7. Pest and disease control

During its growth process, green radish is susceptible to diseases such as anthracnose, root rot and leaf spot, as well as damage from pests such as aphids and red spiders. Once disease symptoms are discovered, timely preventive measures should be taken. You can spray carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl and other agents for prevention and control.
