Green霸王's Cultivation Method
Green霸王 is loved by many plant enthusiasts for its large, glossy leaves and superior air purification ability. However, many plant lovers find that their Green霸王 always looks wilted and the leaves lack luster. How can we make this 'air purifier' regain its vitality? Today, let's unlock the secrets to its care!
Mastering Three Elements for Green and glossy leaves of Green霸王
Optimal Temperature and Light Ratio
To maintain the emerald sheen of the leaves, it is necessary to control a constant temperature of 20-30℃. Practical tests show that when the thermometer drops below 15℃, the plant will activate its dormant protection mechanism, at which point it should be immediately moved away from the window to avoid cold wind. In spring and autumn, it is recommended to have 6 hours of scattered light daily, filter strong light with a gauze curtain in summer, and receive direct sunlight all day in winter.
Secrets of Wetting and Drying Cycle for Watering
Use the 'Three-Finger Soil Test' to determine the watering time: insert the second finger into the potting soil, and water only when it feels completely dry. In winter, it can be extended to watering thoroughly once every three weeks, and make sure the water temperature is the same as the room temperature. During the plum rain season, place broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to enhance drainage and prevent root rot that causes the leaf tips to turn yellow.
Thin Fertilization and Frequent Application for Nutrition Plan
Green霸王's Cultivation Method
Apply diluted foliage plant-specific fertilizer (1000 times) at the beginning of each month, combined with foliar application of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. A small secret: wipe the leaves with expired beer diluted 1:50 with water, which not only removes dust but also supplements trace elements, making the leaves instantly shine!
Five Advanced Techniques for Explosive Growth
Timing for Division Propagation
The best time for division is around the time of Jingzhe (the day marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring). Choose side buds with three aerial roots, apply cinnamon powder to the cut surface, and let it air dry naturally.新手 are advised to use pure vermiculite as a transitional substrate, maintaining 80% humidity, and new buds can be seen after two weeks.
Core Points of Potting Operation
When repotting around Qingming (Tomb Sweeping Day), remember to retain 1/3 of the protective soil. Choose a ceramic pot 5cm larger than the original pot, prepare the substrate according to the ratio of coconut bran: perlite: decomposed leaf soil = 2:1:1, and bury cooked soybeans at the bottom as a slow-release fertilizer.
