Notes

Stem

The stem tissue of Dripping Guanyin is relatively loose. If the water quality is poor, it is easy to be contaminated, causing root rot and stem rot. Therefore, keep the bottle of water clean. At the same time, you should also change the water and culture medium to clean the mucus on the tubers and roots, and cut off the rotten roots.

Temperature

Drip-dropping Guanyin It is a very common domestic green potted plant, but because it is a tropical plant, it generally does not bloom in the north. But if the temperature and other conditions at home are suitable, they will bloom. It can grow well in an environment not lower than 18°C. If the temperature is lower than 18°C, it will be in a dormant state and stop growing. Pay special attention to indoor ornamental cultivation.

Soil

It has The soil requirements are not high, but it grows best in sandy loam or humus loam that is well drained and contains organic matter. Since Dripping Guanyin likes a warm, humid and semi-shady environment by nature and is not cold-tolerant, the pot soil must be kept moist during the growing season. But it can tolerate a little drought.

Watering

In summer, the flowerpot should be placed in a semi-shaded and ventilated place, and water should be sprayed around and on the leaves frequently to increase air humidity, lower leaf temperature, and maintain leaf temperature. clean. Dripping Guanyin should be watered more in summer, but not excessively. It should be dry and wet when appropriate. There should be no accumulation of water in the soil, otherwise the tubers will rot. In winter, they should go dormant, water less, and stop fertilizing.

Fertilization

Due to dripping water Guanyin grows very fast, so it prefers fertilizers. Apply nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compound fertilizers 1-2 times a month (the proportion of nitrogen can be appropriately higher). If you can apply a little ferrous sulfate, the leaves will be bigger and greener.

Spraying once every six months or so can play a good role in height control. The juice in the dripping Guanyin leaves can cause skin itching after human contact, so be careful when touching it.
