Green Bell home cultivation method

Planting soil requirements

Green Bell potting soil commonly used leaf mold soil Or mix peat soil, garden soil and river sand in equal parts and add a small amount of base fertilizer as the substrate.

Change the pot every 2-3 years and prepare the culture soil again.

Temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Green Bell is 15℃-25℃, and the overwintering temperature is 5℃.

Watering

Green bell has fleshy roots, well-developed water storage tissue, and strong drought resistance, but it requires less water during the peak growth period from March to September. If the plant is relatively large, it should be watered and sprayed frequently, and the amount of watering should be gradually reduced after autumn to improve the plant's cold resistance.

Light

Green Bell avoids shade and high temperature and strong light. It prefers semi-shade. Exposure to the sun may burn the bead body. If the light is too weak, the growth status will be poor. .

Propagation methods

Cutting, division, and sowing can be used. Small plants on the stems of Green Bell can also be cultivated.

Precautions for home cultivation of Peppergrass

Plant in shallow pots

The Green Bell plant has very shallow root system and can be planted in shallow pots. Generally, tiles are used to pad the bottom hole, and a layer of cinder or coarse sand is spread to increase air permeability and water filtration. The best soil is humus soil (fallen leaves of autumn and winter trees) Mix in a certain amount of crushed soil and a certain amount of sand (the ratio of soil to sand is about 1:3)

Pay attention to anti-corrosion during the high temperature dormancy period

Green Bell grows slowly at both high and low temperatures, and almost goes dormant in high-temperature environments. It should be watered and fertilized less, otherwise it will easily rot. If it begins to rot, cut off the rot immediately and cut the healthy part, otherwise It will all rot away soon. This is also one of the keys to successful cultivation.

Fertilization strategy during the spring and autumn growth periods

Thin fertilizer should be applied in spring and autumn. Frequently spraying 1-3‰ of nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves will help the plants become greener and larger, and improve the ornamental value.

Summer watering tips

Roots are prone to rot in summer, so watering should not be too frequent. Use a small watering can to water.

Strengthen ventilation to prevent insect damage

Chlorophytum. It is not easy for pests and diseases to occur, but if the pot soil is filled with water and the ventilation is poor, in addition to root rot, root rot may also occur, so you should pay attention to spraying to prevent and control it.
