How to grow rough rib grass

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Thick-ribbed grass prefers a warm growing environment. Too high or too low temperatures are not conducive to its growth. Therefore, in winter, the temperature should be kept above 15 degrees to prevent it from being frostbitten.

2. Watering: Sufficient water needs to be provided during the growth period and the soil should be kept moist, especially in the summer. You can also spray water mist on the branches and leaves of the plant, but in winter, not too much water is needed. Just keep the soil slightly moist.

3. Light: Thick-ribbed grass prefers a bright growing environment, warm sunlight is enough. If strong light directly shines on it, the color of the plant will change and the growth will not be ideal. If the light is weak, it will not grow much and the branches and leaves will become weak.

4. Fertilization: During the growth period, fertilizer is still important. Fertilizer is needed once every half a month to supplement the nutrients needed for its growth. At the same time, various fertilizers need to be used in combination, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used at the same time. Fertilization needs to be stopped in winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Division and sowing are two commonly used methods. Division is generally suitable when repotting in spring. The stems around the mother plant can be separated and replanted. It is best to sow in spring, and the seeds germinate fastest when the temperature is 25 degrees, so they need to be controlled well.

2. Pruning: During the breeding period, there may be some branches and leaves that do not grow well. You can cut them off directly. If there are withered or diseased branches, they also need to be cleaned up in time to control the best growth state.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Anthracnose often occurs, so normal ventilation and light need to be ensured, and some branches and leaves can be pruned off appropriately. Alternatively, you can spray Bordeaux solution to control it.

2. Pests: Moth larvae may harm its normal growth, but they rarely occur. You can use some pesticides to effectively prevent and control them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Its juice is somewhat toxic, so you need to pay more attention during the breeding process.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, but it must not be eaten by mistake. It still has ornamental value.
