How to grow peacock arrowroot in four seasons

Four seasons maintenance of peacock arrowroot

Spring maintenance methods

First, let’s talk about where the peacock plant should be placed indoors. In spring, it is suitable to be placed on balconies facing east, south or west. If you want to repot, the minimum temperature should be stable at above 15℃. The soil should be fertile, loose and well-drained.

In spring, the growth and leafing of the peacock plant are relatively vigorous, and the light should be moderate. You can start fertilizing when new leaves begin to grow. Newly grown leaves always grow rapidly, so if the leaves are crowded, you can remove some of the old leaves. This is beneficial for the growth of new leaves and also for viewing.

In late spring, the peacock plant can be placed in a bright place for cultivation and viewing.

Summer maintenance methods

Summer hands are suitable for placement on the east and north facing balconies. Peacock plant is resistant to high temperature but not to strong sunlight. In summer, it should be placed in a bright place and the soil in the pot should be kept moist. If the temperature is higher than 35℃, the growth of the peacock plant will slow down. At this time, the potting soil should not be too wet, but the frequency of watering should be increased and ventilation should be strengthened.

Autumn maintenance methods

Autumn is another peak growth season for the peacock plant, and sufficient water and fertilizer supply must be ensured at this time. As the weather gets cooler, you should gradually increase the amount of sunlight in the morning and evening. It is also crucial to maintain the temperature after the temperature drops in late autumn. At this time, fertilization should be stopped, but the potting soil should still be kept moist. When the temperature is higher at noon, water can be sprinkled to increase the air humidity.

Winter maintenance methods

Unlike some plants, the peacock plant has very high requirements for room temperature. Because it is not cold-resistant in winter, the room temperature must be above 8℃ for the peacock plant to safely overwinter. If placed on a balcony, the temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. At this time, because the leaf color is better, it still has good ornamental value.

In winter, it should be placed in a place with good light and the soil in the pot should not be too wet, it is better to be a little dry. If the indoor temperature can reach above 15 degrees Celsius in winter, the soil in the pot should be kept moist and a small amount of fertilizer should be applied so that the peacock plant can still grow normally.

If you use air conditioning in winter, the air humidity will be relatively low. You should spray water around the plants frequently to increase the air humidity.

This is all I have to say about the care techniques for the peacock arrowroot and how to grow it well in all seasons.
