Breeding methods and precautions for black rabbit ears

Plant characteristics

First of all, it likes to grow in a cool and drier environment, does not like hot and humid places, and it is most afraid of waterlogging. In addition, it is suitable for places with plenty of sunlight. Semi-shade is barely acceptable, but complete shade is not acceptable.

Specific methods

illumination:

We said above that it likes light very much. If there is insufficient light, it may grow too fast and the shape will become loose, which will destroy its overall shape. Therefore, we should give it more light at ordinary times. Of course, we should take appropriate shading measures when there is strong sun at noon in summer.

Watering:

We know that drier conditions are good for this plant, so even during its most active growth period, it is only necessary to keep the soil slightly moist. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, growth and development will almost stop. At this time, there is almost no need to water, otherwise the roots may rot. In addition, not much water is needed in winter, and the plant is very drought-resistant.

soil:

When choosing the soil for cultivation, you can mix peat, perlite, and coal slag (coal slag is required in the largest amount), and you can also add a small amount of river sand, so that the plants may thrive.

ventilation:

There is no need to talk about outdoor plants, but the important thing is that for indoor plants, you must pay attention to regular ventilation, especially in summer.

Precautions

This plant will go into a dormant state during the high temperatures of summer (35 degrees Celsius at halfway point), and special attention needs to be paid to its treatment at this time, such as light, water and other factors.
