What soil is good for growing evergreen

1. What soil to use

Dieffenbachia has strong adaptability and can be cared for with ordinary garden soil. However, it is best to use loose sandy loam containing humus, good water permeability, and slightly acidic. When preparing the soil, you can test the pH value with pH paper. It is best to be between 6 and 6.5. When preparing, use two parts of leaf mold, add one part of garden soil and one part of river sand, then mix and stir with an appropriate amount of decomposed base fertilizer. In addition, it is also important to disinfect it first. You can put it in the sun or stir-fry it.

2. How to breed

1. Temperature: It likes warmth, but the temperature should not be too high during maintenance, otherwise the leaves will wilt. The temperature should be controlled between 20 and 30 degrees, and should not be lower than 7 degrees in winter. Too low a temperature will affect growth.

2. Light: It likes shade, so it can be placed in a semi-shaded place during maintenance, but not in strong light. But the light is weak in winter, so you can get more sun exposure.

3. Watering: It is not drought-tolerant, so pay attention to regular watering during maintenance, but there should be no stagnant water, otherwise the roots will not be able to breathe and will rot.
