Maintenance points

The most common method for growing love vines at home is sowing and propagating. Select the seeds that are born in the current year and add peat or coarse sand to ordinary soil as soil for sowing. During general maintenance, the temperature should be controlled at 15-20°C. Watering should be done until it is dry before watering. High-nitrogen compound fertilizer should be used and fertilized once a quarter. In addition, diseases and pests must be prevented.

Home planting methods

The most common method of growing love vine at home is to propagate it by sowing seeds. The specific method is as follows:

Seed selection

It is best to choose seeds that are born in the same year. Such seeds have strong germination power and high seedling rate, making it easier for novices. When planting, pay attention to the temperature being above 20 degrees.

Choose a pot and mix it with soil

The flowerpot should not be too deep or prone to water accumulation. Choose a flowerpot with good drainage. Generally, you can choose a 10~15cm ceramic art flower pot.
Add peat or coarse sand to ordinary soil, anything that can improve the soil's air permeability, including honeycomb cinders.

Planting

First, according to the height of the pot, put a layer of large-grained sand 1 to 2 cm thick at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Tiles and ceramics are both good choices. Then spread a layer of the soil you just prepared. Now you can put the seeds. After the seeds are sown, put a layer of soil. Make sure that more than half of the roots of the love vine are planted under the soil and part of them is exposed above the soil. Now you're done, all you need to do next is to take care of it and wait for it to flourish!

Maintenance points

Control the temperature at 15~20℃

At a suitable temperature, the love vine will grow robustly and the plant will be beautiful as a whole; if the temperature is too high or too low, the plant will grow elongated or grow slowly, and it is easy to breed diseases and pests. Therefore, in home maintenance, the temperature should be controlled at 15~20℃. If necessary, it can be moved indoors for the winter.

Water when it is dry and when it is wet

The difference between the love vine and other succulents is that its huge tubers can store a lot of water, so daily watering should be done regularly. "Dry meets wet", do not water frequently.

Choose high-nitrogen fertilizer as fertilizer

Ai Zhiman does not like fertilizer. When sowing and mixing soil, choose mixed soil and fertilize 1 to 2 times a year; otherwise, it needs to be fertilized every quarter. Apply a thin fertilizer once. Fertilizers generally choose high-nitrogen compound fertilizers, and avoid high-phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, otherwise they will cause leaf deformity or even stop development.

Avoid direct sunlight

Love vine likes warm temperatures, but avoid direct sunlight in summer, otherwise the leaves will be easily burned and growth will be affected.

Prevention and control of diseases

Ai Zhiman has strong disease resistance. If there is no infection by external diseases and insect pests, diseases and insect pests rarely occur during the cultivation process.
