Precautions

If you want Hongyun to grow quickly, you should choose slightly acidic soil that is rich in humus, loose and breathable, and change the pot and soil every spring to replenish soil fertility. The correct watering method is to water once every 5 to 7 days. After autumn, the water should be controlled appropriately. Do not water until the pot soil is dry. Otherwise, the accumulation of water will cause the plants to rot and wither. The correct method of fertilizing is to fertilize once every 10 to 20 days during the growing season, and stop fertilizing during the flowering and dormant periods. During maintenance, you should also pay attention to sufficient light and frequent ventilation.

Pot soil selection

Pot soil selection

Hongyun Dangtou soil requires rich humus, loose, fertile, good air permeability and drainage properties, and slightly acidic (pH 5 ~ 5.5). Families usually use humus soil, river sand, a small amount of cake fertilizer, or decomposed chicken manure. Of course, to save trouble when replacing the soil, you can buy it directly from the flower shop.

Repotting method

The growth life of Hongyun Dangtou will not be very long. Usually, the 3 to 4-year-old ones will bloom. After blooming, they will gradually wither and the plants will be renewed after withering. Therefore, the pot should be changed every 1 to 2 years to ensure adequate nutrient supply in the soil.

Watering method

Hongyun Dangtou likes a humid environment, and needs to ensure high air humidity and sufficient pot soil moisture during the growth period. Make sure the pot soil is moist and control the air humidity at 70% to 80%.

The usual watering frequency is 5 to 7 days. For some hard leaf species that require less water, keep the pot surface dry. For soft-leaved species that require more water, the pot soil should always be kept moist, so that the topsoil does not dry out. Always keep water in the leaf tube. A lack of water in the leaf tube can easily cause the plant to wilt.

After autumn, the growth of Hongyun slows down, and watering and spraying should be appropriately controlled. After entering the dormant period, control watering and keep the pot soil slightly moist. Do not water the pot soil until it is dry. If the pot soil is too wet, roots will rot easily. Keep the bottom of the leaf tube moist, but do not give too much water to avoid rot.

Fertilization Method

Growth Fertilize once every 10 to 20 days during the season, using fermented cake fertilizer or chemical fertilizer. Chemical fertilizers usually use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the concentration is controlled at 0.1% to 2.3%. When applying fertilizer, try not to apply fertilizer in the center of the plant to avoid damage. Fertilizer should be stopped during the flowering period, dormant period and summer.

Lighting requirements

The growth of Hongyundangtou requires sufficient light. The daily light time is controlled at 12 to 16 hours. In the case of sufficient light, it must be combined with high humidity and good ventilation. conditions, the growth will be faster and better. The plant will become short, fat and strong, with broad, short and stiff leaves, and bright and beautiful flowers.

Notes

Hong Kong Humidity is very important when growing, and the appropriate relative humidity is 50%-75%. Above 80%, ventilation should be strengthened, otherwise diseases or excessive growth may easily occur. When it is lower than 40%, it is easy to cause the leaf tips to wither, and water needs to be sprayed regularly to moisturize.

The maintenance of Hongyun Dangtou also depends on the magenta. For varieties that like light, such as colorful leaf Hongyun Dangtou, they should be exposed to more light and placed on the windowsill or balcony for maintenance.

The water quality of watering is also very important for Hongyun Dangtou. It likes to grow in acidic soil and requires the water quality to be slightly acidic. It does not like salt, especially calcium salt and sodium salt.
