Temperature: Generally, the normal growth temperature is between 28°C and 30°C, and cannot be higher than 40°C or lower than 10°C. Watering: It is relatively drought-tolerant and requires good drainage. Light: Adequate light is needed to facilitate fruit formation. Fertilization: Fertilizer needs to be supplemented in time during the growth process, so that it can grow more robustly and the yield will increase.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance method

1. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its growth is between 28 and 30 degrees. Maintaining this temperature can make it grow more vigorously, at least The seedlings will not be affected, and if the temperature is above forty degrees and below ten degrees, it will stop growing, so the yield will also be affected.

2. Watering: Its drought tolerance is relatively Strong, so you need to be careful not to water too much during the entire growth period. If you water too much, the fruits at the roots will be seriously affected. At the same time, drainage work needs to be done during the rainy season to avoid flooding.

3. Light: Warm and sufficient light is necessary for its normal growth. The required conditions, warm sunshine can make it produce higher yields, which is conducive to the formation of fruit rows, and the branches and leaves of the seedlings will also be greener.

4. Fertilization: fertile The soil must be well maintained, and it is generally necessary to apply compound fertilizer to it every other month, so as to provide sufficient nutrients and allow the fruit to grow more ideally to achieve high yields.

2. Breeding skills

1 . Propagation: Segmented propagation and bud propagation are two important methods. Segmentation generally requires selecting the upper section of yam. The upper section has a stronger rooting and germination ability. This method of propagation is relatively simple and practical. Bud propagation requires cutting off the tops of yam shoots and then planting them. This method cannot be planted in large areas.

2. Pruning: No pruning is required for normal growth , because the fruit is ultimately harvested, and its ornamental value is generally not a big deal, so don’t waste energy pruning it.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 Disease: Anthracnose occurs frequently. This disease will wither the branches and leaves of the plant, so thiophanate-methyl solution can be used to prevent and control it.

2. Pests: Red spiders appear most frequently , it can be manually removed in the early stage of induction, or trichlorfon solution can be used directly for prevention and control.

IV. Other issues

1 , Toxicity: Not toxic, yam is very nutritious and is a favorite food of many people.

2. Can it be grown at home: Not suitable, because Yams are generally cultivated as crops, so they are not ornamental and are obviously not suitable for cultivation at home.
