How to grow green apple arrowroot

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When maintaining the plant, the soil should be air-permeable, loose, fertile and slightly acidic. You can use river sand, humus soil and then mix it with an appropriate amount of compost. Adequate nutrients will be more conducive to growth.

2. Light: It likes a semi-shaded environment. When caring for it, it is best to place it in a bright place with light indoors. It cannot be exposed to strong light, especially the afternoon light in summer. Avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise the leaves will easily burn and turn yellow.

3. Temperature: It grows best in temperatures between 18 and 30 degrees, but when the temperature exceeds 25 degrees, it needs to be shaded and cooled. Pay attention to temperature control in winter. You cannot tolerate temperatures below 5 degrees, otherwise you will easily get frostbite. It is best to control the temperature above 10 degrees.

4. Watering: Water frequently during maintenance to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate to avoid root rot. When watering, you should decide according to the season. Water more in summer and control water when the temperature is low in winter.

5. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer, but cannot tolerate concentrated fertilizer, so use low-concentration fertilizer when fertilizing. During the growing season, apply a thin layer of fertilizer once a week. Stop fertilizing when the temperature is high or low to avoid fertilizer damage.

2. Common pests and diseases

If the management method is improper or the environment is not suitable, it is easy to cause diseases and pests. The pests are scale insects or red spiders, and the diseases are rust and leaf spot. When they occur, they will affect the growth and appearance, so they must be sprayed with pesticides in time for prevention and control.
