If you want arrowroot to be bright and green, you need to keep it in a semi-shady environment, provide appropriate light, but avoid exposure to the sun. Water it regularly, but not too much, and spray the leaves. You can apply a little nitrogen fertilizer during the growth process, but stop applying it in summer and winter. In addition, during the season of high incidence of pests and diseases, pesticides need to be sprayed to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

1. Proper lighting

1. Appropriate light

Arrowroot is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment. It likes low-intensity light and is intolerant of strong light. However, if no light is seen at all, the plant will not grow well. . Therefore, it is necessary not only to avoid being exposed to the sun, but also to allow it to be properly exposed to light. It is usually better to see the sun in the early morning or evening. The oblique light at this time will not burn the leaves and also helps photosynthesis.

2. Spray water regularly

< p> Arrowroot has a relatively high demand for water, but it is also afraid of water accumulation. If too much water is poured, it must be drained in time to prevent the roots from being flooded. Usually watering is done every 2-3 days in spring and autumn. In summer, it needs to be watered every day, and the leaves should be sprayed to moisturize. In winter, due to the lower temperature, the water demand of the plants decreases, so watering once every 5-7 days is enough.

3. Controlled fertilization

Arrowroot does not have high fertilizer requirements, and there is also a risk of root burn if too much fertilizer is applied or the fertilizer is too concentrated. Diluted nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied in spring and autumn, once every 15 days. In summer and winter, the growth of the plants is slow, so there is no need to fertilize. This will ensure sufficient nutrients and keep its leaves bright and green.

4. Prevention of pests and diseases

During the growth process, arrowroot is more susceptible to damage from red spider mites and scale insects. It may also be infected with leaf spot, black spot, etc., which will affect the appearance of the leaves. Usually, dicofol or trichlorfon can be sprayed during the hatching period of larvae to kill them. In the early stages of the disease, zinc should be used for prevention and treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
