1. How to grow alum root

1. Light: Alumroot likes light, but the plant can also tolerate partial shade, so it is more suitable to be planted in cool places such as under trees and corners. Potted plants can be placed in a place with sufficient diffuse light indoors. Pay attention to shade and ventilation in summer, and full sunlight in winter.

2. Temperature: Alum root is afraid of heat. The temperature is high in summer. The plant should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to ensure ventilation. The leaves will wither if planted in the ground in winter, but will sprout again in the spring of next year. The potted plants should be placed indoors for the winter to ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 0°C.

3. Watering: Alum root is relatively cold-resistant and is most afraid of waterlogging. If the air permeability of the potting soil is poor, do not water it too frequently. You can wait until the soil is dry 3 cm below the surface before watering. If the air permeability of the potting soil is good, you can wait until the soil surface turns white and dry before watering it thoroughly.

4. Fertilization: Alum root does not have high demands for fertilizer and water. During the peak growth season of the plant, you can water it with a balanced compound fertilizer and water containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once every half a month. Apply thin fertilizers frequently and the concentration should be light. It should be noted that no fertilizer should be applied during high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter.

5. Pruning: Because alum root is a foliage plant, the flower arrows can be cut off when the plant blooms to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients in the plant. If you find that the alum root has some dry leaves, you can pick them off.
