How to cultivate Ruoge poetry

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Fifteen to twenty-five degrees is the most suitable temperature for its growth and reproduction. In summer, try to avoid keeping it in a very hot and stuffy place and keep it ventilated, which is good for its health. In winter, in order to ensure its safety, the temperature cannot be lower than five degrees.

2. Light: It has very high requirements for sunlight. Providing sufficient sunshine hours can not only make it grow better, but also make the color of its leaves look better, turning it into a beautiful red. However, since the light is relatively strong in summer, try to place it in a semi-shaded place.

3. Watering: Rugeshi needs more water during the growth period, but it is afraid of waterlogging, so just water it thoroughly, and do not allow water to accumulate. During high temperatures and the rainy season, water must be controlled, generally once or twice a week is enough. In winter, it is even more important to keep it dry.

4. Fertilization: In addition to base fertilizer, topdressing does not need to be too much during the growth period, it can be done once every two months, and no fertilizer is needed in winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be carried out by cuttings. In principle, it can be carried out all year round, but the success rate will be higher in spring and autumn. Choose neat, healthy leaves and sandy soil as the substrate. After insertion, it will take about twenty to twenty-five days for the roots to take root. When the new roots grow to two to three centimeters, they can be transplanted into pots.

2. Repotting: The Rugeshi needs to be repotted regularly. Try to repot it every year, or every two years is also fine. But do not leave it at all for a period of time, otherwise the soil may clump. The new soil can be prepared by using leaf mold, sandy soil, vermiculite, base fertilizer, etc.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There are many diseases that threaten leaves, such as "anthracnose" and "leaf spot", which can cause the leaves to turn yellow, dry up, and fall off. Commonly used agents include carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, etc. In addition, try to cut off rotten and yellow leaves in time and provide more ventilation.

2. Pests: such as "red spiders" and "aphids". If there are large numbers of them, the harm will be relatively large. You can use effective pesticides to deal with them.
