Cultivation methods and precautions of yellow bract arrowroot

soil

Well-drained, aerated soil with plenty of nutrients. You can use 1 part perlite + 3 parts peat + 2 parts pond mud as planting soil.

temperature

It is a plant native to subtropical and tropical regions, so it is not afraid of high temperatures. Therefore, the temperature during breeding can be between 20 degrees and 30 degrees, but the most suitable temperature during the day is between 18 degrees and 21 degrees, and the most suitable temperature at night is between 16 degrees and 18 degrees. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃, otherwise you may get frostbite.

Sunlight

It is a shade-loving plant, and it is not good to grow in the sun for a long time. Especially in summer, when the temperature is above 30 degrees, if there is direct sunlight at this time, the leaves will be easily damaged, and it will also give other diseases and pests an opportunity to take advantage. You can choose to grow it under the shade of a tree. If you grow it indoors, you can place it behind a gauze curtain or in a brightly lit place.

Moisture

March to October is the period of its most vigorous growth. During this period, sufficient water must be ensured. In summer, you can water it 3 to 4 times a day, and in other seasons, you can water it 1 to 3 times a day. At the same time, the air must be highly humid. Long-term excessive dryness will cause the leaves to shrink and be unable to recover, so you can water the leaves and the surrounding areas several times a day; after the temperature gradually drops, you must reduce the number of waterings appropriately to prevent frost damage caused by low temperatures.

nutrient

During the growing season, you can apply fertilizer once every half a month, and you can also spray fertilizer on the leaves once a week for three consecutive weeks, then pause for a week before continuing to spray.
