Cultivation methods and precautions of net-grass

Farming methods

Light and temperature

Net-veined grass prefers a semi-shaded growing environment and does not like direct sunlight. In summer, the spiderwort needs to be shaded to block out most of the sunlight. In winter, you can move the spiderwort indoors to a place where it can get sunlight for maintenance.

The suitable temperature for the growth of spiderwort is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. It is not very cold-resistant, and the temperature for wintering should be above 10 degrees Celsius and not lower than 8 degrees Celsius.

soil

When planting spiderwort, you can choose soil rich in humus, which requires strong air permeability and water retention capacity. Peat soil can also be used.

Watering and fertilizing

Watering spiderwort requires certain skills, because the root system of spiderwort is relatively shallow, so whether you water it too much or too little, it will have a bad effect. Basically, the soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist, not too dry or too wet. Too dryness will cause the leaves to lack water, and too wetness will cause the roots and rhizomes of the spiderwort to rot.

Net-veined grass has a high demand for fertilizer, but fertilization should follow the rule of applying fertilizer thinly and frequently. During the period of vigorous growth of spiderwort, you can fertilize it once every half a month. In order to make the leaves green, you can spray some manganese sulfate solution on the leaves.

Reproduction method

The propagation of spiderwort usually adopts the methods of division, cutting propagation and tissue culture.

Precautions

Pests and diseases

Patellar spiderwort often suffers from diseases and insect pests during its growth, but it also has diseases such as leaf rot and root rot, as well as pests such as scale insects, snails and red spiders.

Topping

During the growing period of spider grass, in order to encourage more branches and control the height of the plant, it is necessary to pinch the top frequently, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of spider grass.
