Soil: You can choose garden soil mixed with leaf mold soil, add some fine sand to neutralize it, and change the soil once every 1 to 2 years. Light: Bright light is enough. Too much light will cause wilting. If you raise it at home, ensure three hours of light every day. Temperature: Normal room temperature is sufficient. If it is lower than 18 degrees, it will enter sleep mode. Moisture: Water when it is dry. In summer, pay attention to spraying water to increase humidity.

Potted plant

You don’t need a lot of words to know a plant. Simple and crude pictures are the most intuitive. Check if your home is dripping Guanyin? (I feel a little guilty when asked this question!)

We can also see the origin of the name from the picture above. The leaves of Dripping Guanyin will drip in the morning, and the flowers will be white and shaped like Guanyin, so it is named Dripping Guanyin.

Cultivation method

Suitable Soil

Dripshui Guanyin has been accustomed to a free environment and has a strong adaptability to the soil. Generally, the soil of the newly purchased Dishuiguanyin should be changed every 1 to 2 years. You can choose general garden soil or mixed leaf mold soil. If the soil is relatively sticky, you can add some fine sand to neutralize it.

Appropriate sunlight

Generally, Guanyin plants purchased for homes or offices will be placed in a corner of the room where there is light but not strong light. Because Dripping Guanyin is a plant that likes shade, it can grow well in bright light. If the light is too strong, the leaves will wilt. However, sufficient sunlight must be ensured during the flowering period, otherwise the flower buds will be light green, which will affect the quality.

So the Dripping Guanyin at home or in the office should ensure about 3 hours of light every day.

Suitable temperature

Temperature has a great influence on Dripping Guanyin. The most suitable growth temperature is 20~25℃. When the temperature is lower than 18°C, it will enter a dormant state and stop growing. This means that it must be moved indoors in time in winter to ensure an appropriate temperature. But when the summer temperature is higher than 30 degrees Celsius, growth will also be abnormal.

Appropriate moisture

The growth of Dripping Guanyin requires sufficient water, especially in summer, when the environment is hot and stuffy. Water should be sprayed on the leaves at noon every day to increase the air humidity, so that the leaves of Dripping Guanyin can grow. It will be big and thick. In winter, as long as the indoor temperature is high, you can water normally.

When watering, you need to pay attention to ensure sufficient light. Do not water on cloudy days. Only when light and water cooperate with each other can the Dripping Guanyin grow well.

Sufficient nutrients

Dripping Guanyin likes fertilizer very much. Once there is a lack of fertilizer, the leaves and stems will become shriveled. So fertilize every two weeks and water properly. The choice of fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to pour fertilizer water onto the edges of the leaves, as this can easily cause leaf rot.

Many flower lovers hope to ensure that the leaves of Dripping Guanyin are large and green through fertilization. This is indeed a good method. Add a small amount of ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer solution every time you fertilize.

Differences in maintenance between hydroponics and soil culture

The lighting and temperature of dripping water in hydroponics are equivalent to those in soil culture, but there are differences in watering and fertilization.

Hydroponics consists of changing and adding water. Change the water every 7 days in summer and every 10 to 15 days in winter. Add a certain amount of nutrient solution every time you change the water. In addition, every time you change the water, clean the walls of the hydroponic container to avoid sphagnum moss.

The other is fertilization. Hydroponic dripping Guanyin generally applies foliar fertilizer. In addition to daily cleaning of the leaves with water, it is necessary to spray foliar fertilizer once a week. It can not only provide nutrients for the growth of plants, but also increase the gloss of the leaves. It can also enhance the cold resistance of plants in winter.

Propagation method

Sowing

It is relatively rare to sow the Dripping Water Guanyin. The seeds are difficult to find and take a long time to grow. No one has the patience to wait quietly for the Dripping Water Guanyin to grow up. Of course, if you have enough time and can find seeds, you can try it. In spring, when the temperature is 25~28℃, sow the seeds in a flower pot, cover it with plastic film and ensure a certain humidity. It will slowly germinate in about a month. Take good care of it and wait for it to grow up.

Branches

The ramets should be determined according to the display of Dripping Guanyin. In summer and autumn, new small plants will grow from the stems of Dripping Guanyin. At this time, the entire young seedling can be Dig it up and repot it in a new pot.

Cutting

Cutting is the most widely used propagation method for Dripping Water Guanyin, with high survival rate and rapid reproduction. Cut a 15cm strong branch and insert it into soft sandy soil. It will take root in about a week and a strong new plant will grow in 2 months.

Precautions for breeding

Poisonous

Flowers need to be reminded that there is white poisonous sap in the stems of Dripping Guanyin, and the water dripping from the leaves is also poisonous. Accidental contact or ingestion may cause adverse reactions, but there is no risk of cancer.

Summer maintenance

When the weather is cold, you can keep warm, but when it is hot, cooling down is not that easy. Therefore, in summer, flower pots should be placed in a ventilated location without direct sunlight, and spray water on the leaves frequently to increase air humidity and lower temperature. When the temperature does not exceed 30°C, apply nitrogen fertilizer and water every half a month.

Height control

Dripping Guanyin can be large or small. Many families do not want Dripping Guanyin to grow up due to restrictions on placement. A good way is to grow Dripping Guanyin seedlings. When the time comes, spray paclobutrazol solution so that the plant height generally does not exceed 40 cm. It is usually sprayed once every six months, and the effect is not bad.
