The name Qingye Biyu may sound unfamiliar, but it also has another name called Dolichos begonia, which might sound familiar now. This plant has leaves that look fleshy, crystal clear like jade, and it also has the effect of purifying indoor air, making the air fresh. It can be placed next to a computer, in a study, living room, etc., and it is a very easy-to-survive plant.
However, we may find that the Qingye Biyu leaves are round and fleshy and look very cute when we first buy them, but after a period of cultivation, the leaves become thin and the branches become long. What should we pay attention to when caring for Dolichos begonia?
1. Soil selection: Qingye Biyu likes to grow in soft, fertile, and well-drained soil, so we can mix leaf mold, granular soil, and some organic fertilizers. If you have coal soil and珍珠岩 (pearlstone) at home, you can also use them to plant Qingye Biyu. Mix leaf mold, granular soil, and organic fertilizers in a ratio of 2:1:1 or mix coal soil and珍珠岩 in a ratio of 5:3.
2. Suitable temperature: Qingye Biyu prefers a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment. The suitable temperature for Qingye Biyu to grow is between 25~30 degrees. In winter, when the weather is cold, the temperature should be kept at about 15 degrees. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, it will stop growing, and if it is below 5 degrees, it may freeze. If we are caring for it outdoors, we need to move it indoors for the winter.
3. Lighting environment: Normally, Qingye Biyu should not be placed in a place without sunlight. If it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time, its leaves will look dull. In the summer, it needs to be shaded appropriately.

6. Propagation method: In spring and autumn, we can cut off the leaves that are growing well, leaving a petiole of 2~3 centimeters. Spray some liquid medicine on the cut leaves to disinfect them, let the wound air-dry, and then insert the petiole into the prepared soil. Generally, it can sprout in about 20 days.
