How to make the arrowroot bright and green, how to grow it to overflow the pot

1. Proper lighting

Arrowroot is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. It prefers low-intensity light and cannot tolerate strong light, but if there is no light at all, the plant will also grow poorly. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun, but also to allow it to receive appropriate amounts of light. It is usually more suitable to see the sun in the early morning or evening. The oblique light at this time will not burn the leaves and will also help photosynthesis.

2. Spray water regularly

Arrowroot has a relatively high demand for water, but is also afraid of waterlogging. If too much water is given, it must be drained in time to avoid the roots being flooded. Usually water it every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and every day in summer, and spray the leaves with moisture. In winter, due to the lower temperature, the plant's water requirement decreases, and watering once every 5-7 days is sufficient.

3. Control fertilization

Arrowroot does not require much fertilizer, but if too much fertilizer is applied or the fertilizer is too concentrated, the roots may be burned. Usually in spring and autumn, diluted nitrogen fertilizer should be applied every 15 days. In summer and winter, the plant grows slowly and no fertilizer is needed. This ensures that it has adequate nutrients, keeping its leaves bright and green.

4. Prevent diseases and pests

During its growth process, arrowroot is more susceptible to damage by red spider mites and scale insects. It may also be infected with leaf spot disease, black spot disease, etc., which will affect the beauty of the leaves. Usually, dicofol or dichlorvos can be sprayed during the larval hatching period to kill them. In the early stages of the disease, use Zineb for prevention and treatment to prevent the situation from worsening.
