Soil

Zhujiao should use loose, fertile, sandy loam with good drainage. Neutral soil is best. The soil of Zhujiao is a mixture of leaf mold soil, culture soil and coarse sand. It is best to add a small amount of compound fertilizer to the culture soil as a base fertilizer. The base fertilizer can be sprinkled into the potting soil when potting.

Watering

Chujiao is extremely sensitive to moisture and must maintain a certain humidity during growth. Lack of water will cause the leaves to fall, and too much water will cause water to accumulate in the pot, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall. During the growth period, red bananas need to be sprayed with water frequently, and the humidity is mainly 50-60%. During the growing season, red bananas need to be watered adequately. During dry seasons and when the weather is hot in summer, they need to be watered every day. In order to maintain humidity, water should be sprayed on the leaves.

Zhujiao

Temperature

Zhujiao The suitable growth temperature should be between 20-25℃. The daytime temperature in summer can reach 25-30℃. The temperature in winter is lower and should be kept between 7-10℃. The temperature must not be lower than 4℃. Some varieties can withstand low temperature environments of 0℃. It can be seen that the growth adaptability of Zhujiao is relatively strong.

Light

Zhujiao likes light. In northern areas, it can be kept indoors in a semi-light place all year round, or it can be kept outdoors in the shade in spring and autumn. In winter, the temperature is low and the light intensity is weak. You can place it directly indoors in a sunny place, reduce watering of the plant and stop fertilizing. The overwintering temperature should be higher than 10℃.

Zhu Jiao

Fertilization

Zhu Jiao Fertilizer should be applied every half month during the peak growing season. Too little fertilizer will also cause the leaves of the banana to grow dim and thin, and in severe cases, the leaves may even wither and turn yellow, thus affecting the growth and viewing of the banana.

Pests and diseases

Pests and leaf spot are often troubled by leaf spot and anthracnose. Therefore, when encountering these two hazards, you can use antibacterial solution to spray them. Use 40% omethoate solution 1000 times to kill insects.
