Green萝's Cultivation Method
Answering netizens' questions about related knowledge of Green萝 in family flower cultivation, the cultivation method of Green萝, details are as follows:
Green萝 requires a temperature of 15℃ or above for growth; below this temperature range, the leaves will turn yellow. Watering should maintain the potting soil moist, not dry nor waterlogged for a long period. The lighting environment should be mainly semi-shaded, with full sun allowed when temperatures are low in winter. In summer, when sunlight is strong, direct sunlight should be strictly avoided. However, if it is exposed to阴暗 lighting for an extended period, the leaves will also turn yellow and the position needs to be adjusted promptly.
Fertilization should be applied frequently but in small amounts, as overfeeding can easily cause fertilizer damage. The air humidity should be kept between 60-85% for best results; below 50%, the leaves are prone to yellowing. When infested with red spiders or scale insects, the leaves also tend to yellow, and the condition spreads rapidly, requiring the application of specialized insecticides for control. Moreover, frequently wiping the leaves is a good preventive measure.
Green萝 can be placed near the east or north-facing window sills in spring, summer, and autumn, and moved to a south-facing window in winter. If kept in an overly dark environment for a long time, it will not only cause the vines to elongate, internodes to lengthen, and the plant to become sparse, but also the yellow and white stripes on the leaves will become smaller and fade, or even disappear completely, turning green. When cultivated outdoors, shading is necessary, especially in summer to prevent strong sunlight, which can lead to smaller new leaves, dull leaf color, and easily burnt leaf edges. The optimal temperature for Green萝 growth is between 20℃ and 30℃, and the room temperature in winter should not be lower than 15℃. Green萝 prefers a humid environment, and the potting soil should be kept moist during the growing season, avoiding dryness as it can cause yellowing and poor plant shape. Excessive watering that causes waterlogging can lead to root rot and leaf wilt, especially when the room temperature is low in winter. In summer, while watering adequately, it is also necessary to frequently spray water on the leaves.
In winter, with dry weather, it is also necessary to wash the leaves with warm water every 4 to 5 days to remove dust, which helps maintain the leaves' luster and greenness. For potted Green萝, a fertile, loose, and well-draining humus soil with a slightly acidic pH is preferred. Green萝 is highly shade-tolerant and can be placed in a sunny indoor area all year round. In a dimly lit room, it should be moved to a well-lit environment for a period every half month, otherwise, the internodes will lengthen, and the leaves will become smaller. Green萝 enjoys a humid environment and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 15℃. The potting soil should be kept moist, and it is necessary to frequently spray water on the leaves to increase humidity, which is beneficial for the growth of aerial roots. Green萝 is usually propagated by cutting and stem burial methods. In late spring and early summer, select a healthy Green萝 vine, cut a 15 to 30 cm long branch, remove the leaves from the base of 1 to 2 internodes without damaging the aerial roots, then insert it into clean sand or coal cinder with 1/3 of the cutting depth, water it adequately, and place it in a shaded area, spraying water on the leaves daily or covering with a plastic film to keep it moist. As long as the environment is maintained above 20℃, the survival rate is over 90%.
When maintaining Green萝, attention should be paid to the following aspects:
1. Lighting 2. Temperature 3. Humidity 4. Water 5. Fertilization
