Temperature: Different varieties have different requirements for maintenance temperature. Except for a few varieties, most varieties can be maintained in an environment of about 20 degrees; Watering: Use the pot soaking method to water it. , usually once or twice a month; Fertilization: Top dressing is required once or twice a month; Lighting: It is intolerant to strong light and needs to receive about five hours of astigmatism every day, and needs shade in summer.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is distributed in a wide area and does not have high temperature requirements. It can generally grow between ten degrees and thirty-two degrees, but the temperature must be maintained The growth state is best when the temperature is around 20 degrees. There are individual varieties that can withstand temperatures as low as zero and temperatures above thirty-seven degrees.

2. Watering: Use water with low mineral concentration when watering it. Terrestrial populations need to use high water level pot immersion method to replenish water during the growth period, once every half month. Water should be controlled during the dormant and growing periods, just keep the bottom slightly moist.

3. Fertilization: During the growth period, terrestrial and Epiphytic populations need to be supplemented with nutrients through top dressing, and the fertilization method is foliar fertilization. Fertilizers should use a compound fertilizer dilution with relatively comprehensive nutrients. Depending on the growth conditions, once or twice a month, it should be noted that the concentration should not be too high to avoid fertilizer damage.

4. Lighting: It likes to live in a place with bright light, and can also accept a semi-shady environment, but cannot accept exposure to the sun, so it must be properly shaded when exposed to light.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: To propagate it, you can use the sowing method. Terrestrial populations can scatter seeds directly on the surface of a clean substrate, maintain high temperature and high humidity maintenance conditions, and provide a certain amount of light. If it is an aquatic population, you can scatter the seeds directly on the water. If the temperature is suitable, it will usually germinate in one to two months.

2. Pruning: During the growth process, some rotten branches and leaves will appear, and these need to be pruned off in time. If they are normally pruned branches, do not discard them. You can insert paper strips into the soil. , new plants can be bred quickly.

3. Problem diagnosis

1 . Pests: It is generally not attacked by pests because it is an insectivorous plant and will eat pests. However, in order to enhance its resistance, it needs to be sprayed with chlorothalonil once a month to increase its resistance.

2. Disease: If the branches and leaves appear dry and scorched, it may be caused by lack of water. It needs to be replenished in time. In addition to replenishing water to the roots, it is also necessary to spray water on its branches and leaves to maintain humidity.

IV. Other questions

1 , Edible: It is not edible.

2. Toxicity: It is non-toxic. However, the sap may cause allergies in people, so you need to wash your hands promptly after trimming it. If skin itching and blistering occur, seek medical attention in time.
