Cinnabar root is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment. When you first buy it, you need to maintain it in an environment with a temperature of about 25°C, and add enough water to it to keep the soil moist. However, if there is no water accumulation, you can spray water around the plants when necessary. When you first buy it, you need to stop fertilizing it temporarily and give it enough scattered light.

1. How to grow newly purchased cinnabar roots

Cinnabar roots are suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil. When you first buy them, in addition to providing a suitable potting soil environment, you must also provide them with It reduces stimulation from the external environment. Place it in a warm environment with a temperature of around 25°C and proper ventilation. Temporarily stop fertilizing and water once every 5-7 days on average. Each watering must be thorough. It is afraid of strong light and needs to be maintained in a place with sufficient scattered light.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Soil: Cinnabar root is suitable for growing in slightly acidic sandy soil that is loose, fertile, well-drained and rich in humus. When cultivating, you can use humus soil, coarse sand and unburned rice bran ash to mix evenly to prepare its nutrient soil to facilitate the growth of the root system.

2. Watering: Cinnabar roots like to grow in a moist environment. When you first buy it, you need to add sufficient water to it to keep the soil moist. Under normal circumstances, pay attention to keeping the pot soil in a dry and wet state during daily maintenance. If the pot soil is too dry, water it in time. When the temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, you can water once every 5-7 days on average. In summer, when the weather is hot, you can water once every 3-4 days, and spray water around the plants appropriately. In winter, it is best to water once every half a month. It’s best to do it in the afternoon.

3. Light: Cinnabar roots like light. When you first buy it, in order to avoid damage to the leaves of the plant, you need to place it in a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance, or place it on the balcony. Provide adequate shade during midday hours.

4. Warmth: Cinnabar roots are suitable for warm environments To grow, when you first buy it, you need to maintain it in an environment with a temperature of about 25°C and provide proper ventilation. Under normal circumstances, its optimum growth temperature is 25℃-30℃, and it is not cold-tolerant. It is best to keep it indoors in winter, otherwise it will be easily frostbitten. In winter, insulation measures should be taken in advance to keep the temperature at least above 8°C to allow it to survive the winter safely.

5. Fertilization: Cinnabar roots prefer fertilizer, but avoid applying concentrated fertilizer. When you first buy it, you can temporarily stop fertilizing it, wait until it returns to normal growth, and then fertilize it normally. During its normal growth period, a thin layer of decomposed liquid fertilizer should be applied every half month on average, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can also be appropriately supplemented to promote its vigorous growth. When fertilizing, the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently" should be followed. In winter, the temperature is low and the growth rate of plants is relatively slow. Fertilization needs to be reduced or stopped to avoid fertilizer damage and affect the growth of the next year.
