Soil: Rich in humus, loose, fertile, and well-drained. Temperature: It likes a warm, humid and semi-shady environment, and is resistant to high temperatures. The suitable growth temperature is about 25°C. It grows normally at 10-15°C in winter. Lighting: Bright scattered light. Watering: The pot soil should be dry and wet. During the growth process, spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons, so the amount of water should be more.

Soil selection

Douban Green requires soil rich in humus, loose, fertile and well-drained. You can choose 7 parts of leaf soil, 3 parts of river sand, and add a small amount of base fertilizer to form a culture soil, or use 6 parts of peat soil and perlite. 4 portions are mixed with a small amount of base fertilizer. When planting, potted plants are generally purchased directly and do not need to be mixed with soil. Everyone only needs to have a little understanding of the composition of the soil.

Temperature requirements

Douban Green likes a warm, humid, semi-shady environment and is resistant to high temperatures. The suitable growth temperature is about 25℃, and in winter it is < span>10～15℃ can grow normally, growth stops below 10℃, suffers damage below 5℃, and below 0℃ will freeze to death. A small pot of watercress green leaves is not so easy to grow.

Lighting requirements

Douban Green is more tolerant of shade and can be cultivated indoors in a place with bright scattered light in all seasons. In spring and autumn, you can see more light. In winter, place it near the south-facing window sill to see more sunlight. In summer, place it on a north-facing window sill with appropriate shading. When the light is suitable, the leaf color will be gorgeous. If the light is too strong or too dark, the leaf color will lose its delicate color.

Watering method

When watering, the soil in the pot should be dry and moist. During the growth process, spring and autumn are the peak seasons for growth and development, so the amount of water should be more. The weather in summer is hot, but the growth of the plants is slow due to the high temperature. You can water 1 times each in the morning or evening. The stems and leaves are prone to rot due to high temperatures and humidity, which depends on the weather and pot soil. The potting soil should be slightly dry, because the stems and leaves are fleshy and too humid will easily cause the roots to rot. Especially in winter due to low temperatures and dormancy, the potting soil should be kept dry.

Fertilization method

Douban Green culture soil is usually updated 1 every 2 to 3 years. During the growth period, apply decomposed liquid fertilizer or nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer 1 times every 15～20 days, with a concentration of cake fertilizer 15 span>%～20%, nitrogen and phosphorus compound fertilizer 0.2%～0.3%. If you don't know how to fertilize properly, you can reduce nitrogen fertilizer and make the spots on the leaves more noticeable.

Notes

Although the small pot of watercress green is very cute, it is because it is well-raised. If you care for it half-heartedly, it will grow too long. So it should be pruned in time. When the watercress grows to about 10 centimeters, the top should be pinched to promote the germination of side branches and make the plant fuller.

In daily management, pay attention to moderate light and reasonable fertilizer and water. When the sun is not too strong, potted plants can be placed outdoors. However, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight in summer, especially in places where the sun is shining, otherwise it will cause the branches and leaves to turn yellow.
