1. SoilThe Alocasia odora prefers loose, breathable soil, which can be made into planting soil by evenly mixing garden soil, leaf mold and river sand. This kind of soil has good air permeability and drainage, is rich in humus, and has sufficient fertility. When repotting, it is recommended to use clay pots, purple clay pots and other flower pots with good air permeability. 2. EnvironmentIt cannot withstand direct sunlight, so be sure to provide shade when you first buy it. Too much sunlight may burn the leaves, causing them to become dull and lifeless. After adapting to the environment at home, you can carry out normal maintenance. Most home environments can meet its needs for light, and the temperature in semi-shaded environments is cooler in the summer. Especially in the hot summer, good cooling measures should be taken. It can survive normally in winter as long as the temperature is not lower than 5℃. 3. WateringLike most succulents, it does not require much water. During the growing season, water the plant every 10 days, especially in the summer, when you need to water it more often, about once every 5 days. However, when you just buy it, don't use a lot of water directly to water it to avoid waterlogging in the soil and root rot. 4. FertilizationThere is no need to fertilize when you first buy it, so as not to burn the roots. After that, you can fertilize once a month, using compound fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium content or decomposed thin liquid fertilizer. After fertilizing, it is best to water once the next day to dilute the remaining fertilizer that has not been absorbed and avoid burning the roots. When repotting, you can spread a thin layer of fertilizer on the bottom as base fertilizer before the growing season. |
