Precautions

It is also called the "Red Sword", and we can see the origin of its name from its appearance. This plant is native to South America. It has a very beautiful shape. From the purple and black striped leaves, there are bright red flowers that are very long-lasting and will not wither. This makes it a good plant for both flower and foliage viewing. Below we will introduce how to raise it.

Plant Habits

As we mentioned above, its origin is in the tropical regions of America, so we can infer that it likes places with high temperatures, moisture and sufficient sunshine. In addition, it also has certain requirements on soil, which we will cover below.

Specific method

Temperature: This The suitable temperature for plant growth is between 16 and 27 degrees Celsius. Specifically, from March to September, it is 21 to 27 degrees Celsius, and from September to March of the following year, it is 16 to 21 degrees Celsius. . Moreover, the temperature in winter is best controlled above five degrees. Therefore, you should pay attention when the plant is overwintering. If the temperature is too low, its leaves will be damaged by freezing, which will cause it to wither.

Moisture: This plant has a greater need for this factor. If there is enough water, it will grow faster. However, if there is a short-term water shortage, it will have no obvious impact. Although it is said to have a certain drought tolerance, it will definitely not survive long-term water shortage.

Lighting: This is also important. Except for proper shading measures when the light is very strong in summer, it needs sufficient sunlight at other times. Only in this way can its red bracts shine. If there is insufficient light, the color of its leaves and flowers will be greatly affected.

Soil: The requirements for this are loose, breathable and well-drained, preferably sandy soil. If it is a potted plant, we can mix culture soil and leaf mold soil to make a substrate.

Notes

In summer temperatures When it is very high, in addition to ensuring watering, you can also spray water on the leaves to keep the surrounding humidity at 50 to 60 percent.
