Cultivation methods and precautions of silver taro

1. Soil

When growing silver taro, you need to use soil with strong drainage and loose texture. Avoid using soil that is too sticky. You can mix leaf mold, peat soil, garden soil and coarse sand for use.

2. Water

It likes to grow in a humid environment and needs to be given plenty of water during its growth period. The soil in the pot should be moist, but there should be no stagnant water. If you water too much on a regular basis, it may cause the leaves to turn yellow or the roots to rot. In cold weather, control the amount of watering.

3. Lighting

When growing silver taro, the light should not be too sufficient, it prefers a semi-shaded growing environment. If the light is too strong, it will cause the leaves to burn. There should be adequate shade in summer, but it should not be too dark. Growing in a too dark place for a long time will cause it to grow weakly and have dull leaves.

IV. Precautions

It grows very fast, so the pot needs to be changed every 1-2 years, and the change of pot can be done before budding. The soil must also be replaced with new one, and the rotten roots must be trimmed off when repotting.
