Cultivation methods and precautions of stone reed

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The soil for planting stone reed should contain humus. This kind of soil contains rich substances that can allow it to grow better.

2. Water: Its demand for water is average. After planting, just water it and spray it with some water from time to time. However, in the hot and dry summer, you need to pay more attention and spray more water to moisten the soil and keep it moist.

3. Nutrients: When applying fertilizer, organic fertilizer is generally used and the concentration of the fertilizer should be lower. When applying fertilizer, you need to dilute it with water first, and then pour it into the soil.

4. Light: It likes to grow in a humid, light-proof place. It must be kept away from light during cultivation. Strong light will cause sunburn and stop growing.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: When it is growing vigorously, it is necessary to properly prune the old and yellow stems and leaves. This can promote the absorption of nutrients by the new stems and leaves, allowing them to grow better.

2. Reproduction: Stone reed is generally propagated by division, and the reproduction time is in March. Select a healthy plant, dig it out with roots, trim it to about 5-10 cm with scissors, soak it in water, and plant it in moist soil away from light.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Weak growth: When you see that the stems and leaves are growing slowly and weakly, you should consider whether it is not absorbing enough nutrients. At this time, you should fertilize it, loosen the soil and provide shade. After sufficient nutrients are absorbed, it will gradually become strong.

2. Pests: The most common pests in stone reed farming are underground pests. At this time, use poison bait to lure and kill them. If they are not dealt with in time, they will bite the roots of the seedlings.

IV. Other issues

1. Whether it can be exposed to rain: The plant can be exposed to rain on rainy days, as it likes a humid and light-proof environment. In rainy weather, the air humidity increases after being washed by rain, which is more conducive to its growth. However, it cannot be exposed to heavy rain for a long time.

2. Is it poisonous? Stone reed itself is non-toxic and can be cultivated with confidence. When cultivating it, you must pay attention to providing it with a suitable growth environment.
