Dishui Guanyin's requirements for moisture
As a star variety among tropical leaf-viewing plants, Dishui Guanyin is popular for its unique leaf shape and dripping phenomenon. However, many flower lovers often cause their plants to wilter due to improper water management during the maintenance process. Today, we will provide an in-depth analysis of the key points of water management of this plant from the perspective of scientific watering. Water Management Plan for Dishui Guanyin Four Seasons Water Management Plan The watering rule in the spring and autumn growing season is 20-28℃ during the golden growth period. It is recommended to use the "three-finger detection method": Insert your fingers into the pot soil to a depth of 3cm, and water if your fingertips do not feel moist. In line with the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet", each watering should ensure that about 10% of the water seeps out from the drainage holes on the bottom of the basin. Special attention should be paid to the fact that when using pottery pots, the evaporation amount is 30% higher than that of plastic pots, and the watering interval should be appropriately shortened. Extreme weather coping strategies require the implementation of the "morning and dusk double watering method" during summer high temperature periods (>30℃): fully watering at 6-7 in the morning, and replenish leaf water at 18-19 in the evening. During the winter dormant period (<15℃), the "half-moon water replenishment method" should be used, combined with an air humidifier to maintain 50% environmental humidity. The key maintenance restricted areas analyze the water hazard prevention and control system recommends adopting "three-layer drainage protection": a 3cm ceramsite layer is laid on the bottom of the basin, a substrate with a ratio of legus soil: perlite =3:1 is used in the middle, and the surface is covered with pine scales to retain water. If the roots are found to be black, the pot should be replaced immediately, the rotten roots should be pruned, and disinfected with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution. Water temperature control tips establish the "three-degree temperature difference rule": the difference between watering temperature and room temperature shall not exceed ±3℃. In winter, it is recommended to adopt the "water storage preheating method" and place water in the cultivation environment 24 hours in advance; in summer, the "ice cube cooling method" can be adopted, adding 1-2 ice cubes per liter of water to adjust. Optimization plan for hydroponics system The "321 water change rule" is implemented during hydroponics: new plants change water every 3 days for the first 3 weeks, and then change water twice a week, and mature plants once a week. It is recommended to add a special nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation (keep the EC value of 1.2-1.8mS/cm) and regularly clean the aerials area with a cotton swab.
Through the three core strategies of accurately controlling watering frequency, strictly preventing water accumulation risks, and scientifically adjusting water temperature parameters, combined with the refined management of hydroponics systems, dripping Guanyin can always maintain an oily and shiny leaf state. It is recommended to conduct a monthly "root health check" and dynamically adjust the maintenance plan based on changes in environmental temperature and humidity, so as to harvest the ornamental effect of luxuriant branches and leaves.
