soilIt is suitable to be cultivated in sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability to facilitate the removal of excess water and the growth of plant roots; it can be prepared with 1/3 each of leaf mold, sandy soil and garden soil. Repot the plant every 1 to 2 years in spring and cut off the dead old roots. temperatureThe most suitable growth temperature for Black Prince is 15~25℃. Below 5℃, the plants stop growing and suffer slight frostbite. Below 0℃, the water in the leaves freezes and the cells die. If the temperature is too high or too low in winter and summer, the plants will stop growing. You should temporarily stop watering and resume watering after the temperature returns to normal. In the hot summer, you should pay attention to ventilation and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. WateringBlack Prince contains a certain amount of water in its body, so excessive watering or long-term exposure to a humid environment can easily cause rot. To avoid water accumulation at the roots, it is best to choose a pot with drainage holes at the bottom. When planting, novice planters can choose red clay pots with good air permeability. Glass containers absorb heat and have poor air permeability. illuminationThe more light there is and the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the darker and brighter the leaves will be. If the temperature permits, it is best to place it outdoors for maintenance and ensure sufficient light. Insufficient light or excessive water in the soil can easily cause the plant to grow too tall. The whole plant will appear light green or dark green, with sparse leaves and elongated spacing, which seriously affects its ornamental value and may even cause death due to limited photosynthesis. pruneUsually, remove the dry ones in time to avoid bacterial growth. When the plant grows too tall, you can also shape it by pruning the top branches and leaves to control the height of the plant in order to maintain the beauty of the plant shape. The cut top part can be inserted into sandy and slightly moist potting soil to take root and become a new plant after the wound is dried. The stems and branches at the bottom can sprout more side buds. PrecautionsBlack Prince grows strongly and requires a little less extensive management. During the summer dormancy period, be careful to control watering to avoid root rot caused by overly wet soil. In winter, due to less light, the leaves will turn green, especially the newly grown leaves, which are more obvious. Don't worry about it. When spring comes, it will gradually turn black and purple as the light increases. |
