Apple arrowroot is a beautiful leaf-viewing plant. Its leaves show stripes of light green and dark green, which is of great ornamental value. However, for apple arrowroot to grow vigorously, some maintenance work needs to be done. Next, we will introduce you to how to maintain apple arrowroot and make it grow luxuriantly.
Select the right environment Before maintaining apple arrowroot, we must first choose the environment suitable for its growth. Apple arrowroot likes a warm, humid, semi-negative environment, so it is best to place it in a well-ventilated and moderately light room. At the same time, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or an overly dry environment.
Properly watering apples and arrowroot requires sufficient water during its growth, but it should not be over-watered. Generally speaking, each watering should wait until the soil surface is slightly dry before proceeding to avoid soaking in water to avoid causing root rot. At the same time, attention needs to be paid to adjusting the frequency of watering in summer and winter.
Pay attention to fertilization. Apple arrowroot grows slowly and requires appropriate fertilization to provide nutrients. Generally speaking, you can apply fertilizer once a month, and you can use some multi-effect fertilizers or organic fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements. However, it is also important to avoid excessive fertilization to avoid burning the roots.
Properly pruning apple arrowroot will inevitably cause some dead leaves or old leaves to appear during the growth process. At this time, we need to prune them in time. Pruning promotes new growth while also maintaining the beauty of the plant. However, care should be taken not to cut the stems and leaves during pruning.
Pay attention to pest control Apple arrowroot is easily affected by some common pests and diseases, such as aphids, red spiders, etc. During the maintenance process, we need to regularly inspect the leaves and stems of apple arrowroot and take timely measures when problems are found. You can use some safe and effective pest control chemicals, or you can use natural methods to control them.
Create a humid environment Apple arrowroot likes warm and humid environments, so we can take some measures to create a humid environment. For example, during the dry season, you can often spray water on leaves and stems, or place some moist stones and soil on the bottom of the basin.
Replace soil in time As time goes by, the nutrients in the soil where apple arrowroot grows will gradually be exhausted. At this time, we need to replace the soil in time to ensure the growth and development of plants. When replacing soil, it is best to choose some soil that is rich in nutrients and has good drainage.
Avoid moving apple arrowroot Apple arrowroot grows with fragile roots, so we should avoid moving it frequently. Once it is necessary to move, it is best to do it in spring or autumn, and keep the original soil balls as much as possible to reduce damage to the roots.
Maintaining ventilation The environment where apple arrowroot grows requires maintaining ventilation to avoid being too humid. If the maintenance environment is relatively humid, you can increase the ventilation amount appropriately, or use air fresheners.
Pay attention to temperature The suitable temperature for apple arrowroot growth is about 18℃ to 25℃. In summer and winter, attention should be paid to adjusting the indoor temperature to avoid excessive high temperatures or excessive low temperatures.
Regularly wipe the leaves of apple arrowroot. The leaves of apple arrowroot are relatively wide and easily absorb dust and other pollutants, which affects the appearance of the plant. We need to wipe the blade regularly to keep it clean.
Avoid foliar fertilization Apple arrowroot is susceptible to foliar fertilization, so we need to avoid foliar fertilization to avoid damaging the plants.
Pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night. A certain temperature difference between day and night is needed during the growth of apple arrowroot, which is conducive to the healthy growth of plants. In summer and winter, attention should be paid to controlling the indoor temperature and maintaining a certain temperature difference between day and night.
Reasonably place apple arrowroot. Apple arrowroot growth position can be adjusted according to its growth needs. For example, in spring and autumn, it can be placed outdoors to enjoy the sun and natural air; in summer and winter, it can be placed indoors to avoid excessive high temperatures or Excessive low temperatures.
Apple arrowroot is a very beautiful leaf-viewing plant, but for it to grow vigorously, some maintenance work needs to be done. Attention needs to be paid to selecting the right environment, correct watering, appropriate fertilization, pruning and preventing and controlling pests and diseases. Only by doing these maintenance work well can apple arrowroot grow luxuriantly.
