How to grow zaindri

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its development is between 20 and 30 degrees. Tropical temperatures are basically not frost-resistant, and it is no exception. It will stop growing when the temperature is below 10 degrees, and it will be frostbitten when the temperature is below 5 degrees. Therefore, the maintenance temperature must be controlled within the appropriate range.

2. Watering: It is an aquatic plant, so you need to reduce the water supply appropriately in spring to promote the growth of branches and leaves. When the weather is hot, you need to add more water to avoid water shortage. You also need to control water in autumn and winter to help it survive the winter smoothly. It is best to use water that has been dried in the sun, because fresh water contains chlorine, which will affect the growth of the plants.

3. Fertilization: The cultivation space of potted plants is relatively small, and the nutrients in the soil will be quickly consumed. It needs additional nutrients so that it can grow normally. It needs to be fertilized twice a month, and the fertilizer should be mild, mainly inorganic fertilizer.

4. Light: It is a light-loving plant and needs to be grown in a sunny environment. However, the temperature in summer is relatively high, so it needs to be shaded, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on its flowering. At other times the sun is milder and can shine all day.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The plant can be propagated by sowing. The time for reproduction is generally chosen in spring. Sprinkle the seeds into the prepared cultivation soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, then water the soil thoroughly and place it in a warm and sun-proof place. Seedlings will emerge in a week. When it grows two true leaves, it can be transplanted and planted.

2. Pruning: There is no fixed time for pruning the lily. Each time, you only need to cut off the dry branches and dead leaves. One is for beauty, and the other is to concentrate nutrients.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is generally not infected by pests because there is a layer of wax film on its surface, which is equivalent to a natural protective barrier. It is difficult for diseases and pests to invade. Even if pests invade, it can solve it by itself. If you are really worried, you can use a small amount of insecticide to spray.

2. Repotting: If it is a potted plant, it needs to be repotted once a year. When repotting, bone meal needs to be added to the soil. The purpose is to promote plant growth and ensure the plant's nutrient supply and demand.

IV. Other issues

1. Is it suitable for home cultivation? Because it is an aquatic plant, it is more likely to attract mosquitoes, so try to maintain it outdoors.

2. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and can be planted with confidence.
