Its cultivation method is very simple. First, prepare a suitable soil, which should be slightly acidic, breathable and loose. You can mix perlite, peat soil and vermiculite. Tubers should be selected that are uniform in size and free from pests and diseases. Once ready, just plant the tubers directly in the soil. Pay attention to the depth of planting, not too deep. The surface of the tuber should be exposed to the substrate to avoid rot. After planting, keep it in a warm, ventilated and dark place, and it will take root and sprout soon.

1. Prepare the soil

When planting, the soil should be slightly acidic, with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.2, and should be loose and breathable. You can mix perlite, peat soil and vermiculite yourself. This soil environment is more conducive to the growth of later tubers. Or you can go to a flower shop to buy special soil, which is more worry-free. If you prepare it yourself, put it in the sun for disinfection before use, or you can disinfect it with disinfectant.

2. Select tubers

Planting When planting, choose tubers that are uniform in size and free from pests and diseases. This will have stronger germination ability, higher survival rate after planting, and will also facilitate later management. If there are wounds on the tubers, they must be disinfected and dried in the shade before planting to avoid wound infection.

3. Planting in the soil

Preparation After selecting the tubers in good soil, they can be planted in the soil. First put a small amount of soil in the flower pot, then place the tubers and bury the soil carefully. Be careful not to bury the soil too deep, and the surface of the tuber should expose the substrate, otherwise it will easily rot over time and affect germination and rooting.

IV. Later maintenance

Planting After it's done, don't rush to bask in the sun, and don't water it too much. It should be placed in a warm, ventilated and light-free place and let it simmer for a while. It will soon germinate and take root. The survival rate of such planting is relatively high.
