The cultivation methods and precautions of the tower of Qian

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Akita likes warmth. Therefore, eighteen to twenty-five degrees is most suitable. In winter, it is best to move it indoors because it does not tolerate cold very well. It is best to keep it above ten degrees. It can tolerate temperatures as low as five degrees Celsius, so the minimum temperature should not be lower than five degrees.

In winter, you need to control water even more. Water the plant slightly after the soil in the pot is completely dry.

3. Light: It is a relatively light-loving plant, but too strong light is not acceptable. Therefore, provide good light during its active growth period, which is spring, autumn and early summer. In mid- and late summer, it needs to be shaded.

1. Repotting: If the growth of the Tower of Red is vigorous, it is best to change the pot once a year. Considering that it may grow larger, in addition to changing the soil, you also need to change the flowerpot to a slightly larger one. When preparing the substrate, you can use garden soil, sand and vermiculite in a ratio of one to one to one, and then mix in base fertilizer, such as bone meal.

2. Reproduction: It can be done by division. First, choose a thriving mother plant. Then remove the plant from the pot and clean the soil around the roots. After that, divide the mother plant into three or four parts from the roots. Next, plant them separately. Division can be carried out together with repotting.
