How to grow Changpu

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When breeding, you need to use soil that is breathable, loose and fertile. You can mix it yourself with coal slag, vermiculite, nutrient soil, Akadama soil, etc. You can also mix it with granular soil to improve drainage.

2. Temperature: Normally, the suitable temperature for its growth is between 20 and 30 degrees. It is not resistant to high temperatures or cold weather. Its growth will slow down when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees. It should be kept indoors in winter to avoid frostbite.

3. Watering: The plant needs a lot of water during the growing period, so you need to add water frequently, but do not allow water to accumulate. In hot seasons, not only watering but also sprinkling water is needed. Increasing the humidity is more conducive to plant growth. Control watering in winter and don’t water unless the soil is dry.

4. Light: It is shade-tolerant and only needs 4 hours of light a day during maintenance. Be careful not to use strong light, otherwise it will get sunburned. However, it will grow better if there is sufficient light during the growth period.

2. Breeding Methods

It is usually propagated by two methods: sowing and division. The seeds are sown indoors in autumn, provided the temperature is around 20 degrees, and they will germinate in early spring. In early spring, dig up the plants with their roots and plant them separately. Take care to protect the root system and new shoots, and they will basically survive.
