Multi肉 horn, with its unique shape and elegant plant type, has become one of the popular multi肉 plants in recent years. How to take care of the multi肉 horn, and let them grow strong, has become a problem for many novice nursers. This article will introduce you to the maintenance methods of multi肉 horn in detail, helping you easily raise beautiful multi肉 horns.
Choose the right planting containerThe multi肉 horn has no high requirements for containers, but it is best to choose a container with good breathability, such as ceramic, purple sand, or thick plastic containers. The bottom of the container needs to have a drainage hole to prevent waterlogging that can cause root rot.
Soil selection and preparationThe multi肉 horn is suitable for growing in soil with good drainage and strong breathability. You can choose special multi肉 plant soil on the market, or make your own. Homemade soil can be mixed with decayed leaf soil, peat soil, and perlite in a ratio of 2:1:1.
Lighting conditionsThe multi肉 horn prefers a sunny environment and requires at least 4-6 hours of scattered light per day. In the high-temperature season of summer, it is necessary to provide appropriate shading to avoid direct strong sunlight that can cause leaf sunburn.
Watering methodThe multi肉 horn does not have high water requirements. When watering, follow the principle of "watering when dry and keeping it slightly moist during the growing season"; during the dormant period, it is necessary to control watering and keep the soil dry. When watering, try to use a spray bottle to spray the leaves to avoid water splashing into the center of the leaves and causing rot.
Fertilizing skillsThe multi肉 horn needs a moderate amount of fertilizer during the growing season. You can choose special multi肉 plant fertilizers on the market or use diluted compound fertilizers, applying every 15-20 days, keeping the concentration within the recommended range specified in the fertilizer instructions.
Pest and disease controlThe multi肉 horn may encounter pest and disease problems during the growing process. If pest and disease problems are found, timely measures should be taken. The methods for pest and disease control are as follows:
1. Clean the nursing environment and maintain air circulation.
2. Regularly inspect the plants and promptly cut off any affected parts.
3. Use pesticides for prevention and control, and pay attention to follow the instructions for pesticide use.
Propagation methodThe multi肉 horn can be propagated by division. During the growing season, separate the multi肉 horn from the mother plant, let the wound dry, and then replant. The multi肉 horn can also be propagated by leaf insertion, by inserting the leaves into the soil and replanting after they have rooted.
