Soil: loose and well breathable. Lighting: From spring to mid-autumn, place it indoors or in a shaded environment. In winter, add light and place it on the south balcony. Moisture: Keep the pot soil moist and dry, and reduce watering after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fertilization: Apply decomposed liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growth period, and stop fertilizing after September.

Soil selection

Because of the origin of Qianqiandou, it has strong drought tolerance, so the requirements for the soil are not very strict, just make sure it is loose and air-permeable. Do not use sticky soil.

Lighting requirements

From late spring to mid-autumn, the money bag should be placed indoors or in a shaded environment to ensure 50~70% shade. When maintaining indoors, you need to be careful not to over-shade, otherwise the newly extracted branches and leaves will be slender, dark in color, the distance between leaflets will be large, the plants will be sparse, and the plant shape will not be compact and beautiful.

In winter, move your money pocket indoors in time. Pay attention to supplement the lighting, place it on a warm south-facing balcony, and maintain it with light all day long. Because the leaves of Qianqiandou have no obvious phototaxis, there is no need to worry during the growth process, because Qianqiandou will grow crookedly due to different light angles.

Moisture requirements

In order to maintain the money pocket, we must try our best to create a humid and dry environment. For indoor breeding, when the temperature reaches 33°C, water should be sprayed once a day to humidify and cool down. In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, it is better to keep the soil slightly moist and slightly dry. Occasionally add a little fertilizer and water, and if it is thinner, the roots will basically not rot.

Reduce watering after the Mid-Autumn Festival, or use spray water instead of watering to ensure that the new leaves can survive the winter safely. In winter, pay attention to spraying water on the leaves and environment to ensure that the indoor humidity is above 50%. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the pot soil should not be too wet in winter and should be on the dry side. Otherwise, when the temperature is low, it is easy to cause the root system of Qianqiandou to rot, and in severe cases, it will die directly.

Fertilization method

Usually , apply special fertilizer for foliage plants or decomposed liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growth period. Choose the appropriate fertilizer according to different varieties. However, it should be noted that for mosaic and leaf varieties, reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied to prevent the patterns on the leaves from reducing or even disappearing.

After September, stop fertilizing to promote lignification of branches and ensure their safe overwintering.

Repotting method

Qianqiandou is generally repotted once every 2 to 3 years. When repotting, choose a potting soil that is fertile, loose, and rich in humus. Must have good breathability. After repotting, put it in a cool place for a week, stop watering, and perform normal maintenance after one week.

Notes

Pay attention to ventilation< /h3>

Indoor breeding of Qiandou is not as good as outdoor cultivation. If the ventilation is not good, it is easy to cause the leaves of Qiandou to wilt. They may not die immediately, but the leaves will fall off piece by piece. If not repaired in time, they will Die slowly.

Watering problem

Most Qianqiandou is cultured in large pots. The pots have a lot of soil and are deep. It often takes a long time to dry out after watering once. At this time, extra watering is needed. Note, do not water until it is dry. Otherwise, overwatering can easily cause root rot and eventually die! Therefore, before watering, be sure to check the dryness and wetness of the pot soil. If it is not dry, do not water it. Just spray water regularly!

Temperature control

Beautiful plants tend to be a little squeamish, as is the case with Money Pocket. The most suitable temperature for the growth of Qianqiandou is 15~30℃, of which the temperature from April to October is 20~30℃, and the temperature from October to April of the following year is maintained at 13~20℃. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 32°C, timely cooling and ventilation are required; in winter, the temperature cannot be lower than 10°C. If the temperature can be kept above 20°C, the stems and leaves can still grow normally.
