Temperature: Give it a growing environment of 20-30℃, and the temperature in winter should be maintained at around 16-18℃. Lighting: It should be placed indoors in a brightly lit place, avoid direct sunlight or exposure. Watering: Water thoroughly during the growth period and keep the pot soil moist. Fertilizer: Stop fertilizing during the winter dormancy period and sustained high temperatures in summer. In addition, the pot should be repotted every other year.

Cultivation methods

Temperature

Cat's eye arrowroot is native to tropical and subtropical areas and is resistant to high temperatures. Suitable for growth in a growth environment of 20-30°C. The optimal growth temperature in winter should be maintained at around 16-18°C.

Light

A shade-tolerant plant that prefers semi-shade and should be placed indoors in a brightly lit place. Avoid direct sunlight or exposure to avoid burning the leaves. Shade and ventilation should be done well in summer.

Watering

In Cat's Eye Bamboo During the growth period of taro, watering should be sufficient to keep the pot soil moist. At the same time, care should be taken to avoid water accumulation in the soil to prevent root rot and even the death of the plant. Because the leaves are larger and water evaporates faster, it is necessary to maintain a higher air humidity around them. You can spray the leaves regularly to keep the air around the leaves moist, which is beneficial to the growth and expansion of the leaves. Once you find that the leaves are curling and shrinking, it means that the plant is suffering from water shortage.

Fertilizer

Follow the principle of “apply frequently and sparingly”. Stop fertilizing during the dormant period in winter and sustained high temperatures in summer.

Cultivation precautions

Changing pots Work

Repot every other year. It is advisable to choose fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil with good air permeability and drainage, and rich in humus.

Pest Control

Common pests mainly include scale insects, red spiders, etc. For scale insects, depending on the disease situation, 40% omethoate 1,000 times, 50% dichlorvos 1,000 times, and 2.5% deltamethrin 3,000 times can be sprayed for control. For spider mites, control is generally carried out during the adult stage after the eggs hatch. You can use 20% dicofol EC 1000 times, or you can spray 40% omethoate EC 1000 times.

Disease prevention

Main common diseases There are white silkworms and leaf spot diseases. For white silkworm, you can add 70% pentachloronitrobenzene in an amount of 0.2% of the soil weight to the soil to disinfect the soil. At the same time, remove the diseased plants and soil, add new soil, and provide ventilation. For leaf spot disease, diseased leaves should be removed in time and more base fertilizer should be applied to enhance disease resistance.
