Is the red掌 flower suitable for indoor cultivation?Article summary: Techniques for keeping the red掌 flower blooming indoors and tips on whether the red掌 flower is suitable for indoor cultivation will surely help you. Let's learn about them together!The red掌 is originally a type of climber that grows in rainforests, meaning that its branches have many growth nodes and will develop many aerial roots, climbing on trees to grow upwards, some even reaching up to three to four meters high.Somehow, the white掌 has become a very beautiful indoor ornamental flower, with both its leaves and flowers having a certain ornamental value, and both are heart-shaped.One thing to note is that the "flowers" (red, pink, or purple) at the top of the red掌 that we often see are actually its bracts, and the true flowers are like a stick of incense above the bracts, with many small dots, which are the real flowers of the red掌.Cultivating the red掌 is extremely easy. It is a slightly shade-tolerant ornamental flower, very suitable for placement indoors. A little bit of scattered light or sufficient lighting every day is enough for it to grow well.We already know from before that the red掌 originally grows in tropical rainforests, which means it prefers a warm and humid environment, high humidity, and moderate scattered light;The temperature for cultivating the red掌 should not be lower than 7 degrees Celsius, as temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius can easily cause frostbite. The normal growing temperature should be maintained above 15 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is constantly between 18-28 degrees Celsius, it will grow best.Is the red掌 flower suitable for indoor cultivation?Placing the red掌 indoors for cultivation is often due to the inability to meet the required humidity levels, which can lead to dull leaves, shortened flowering periods, and even cause the flowers to wither and stop blooming after that.When caring for the red掌, it is important to water it regularly and not let the soil remain dry for long;If there is a little scattered light indoors and good ventilation, it is necessary to keep the soil slightly moist in the spring and summer seasons, while in the autumn and winter seasons, you can wait until the soil is completely dry three to five centimeters below the surface before watering it thoroughly, making sure the potting soil is fully saturated and any excess water in the saucer is promptly drained.To ensure a certain level of humidity, it is also necessary to spray water around it regularly. If there is dust on the leaves and bracts, they should be cleaned promptly to extend its ornamental period and maintain better photosynthesis.If you find that the red掌 potted plant has yellowing leaves, it is likely due to excessive watering or excessive drought, which can be understood by checking the moisture condition of the potting soil.The soil for cultivating the red掌 should not be constantly moist and must maintain good ventilation and drainage. It is usually chosen to cultivate in soil with more humus, such as mixing regular peat soil with perlite, and occasionally using some compost soil and leaf mold soil, which should not be a problem.
