How to raise dripping Guanyin
As a star species among indoor leaf-viewing plants, Dishui Guanyin is deeply loved for its unique leaf shape and air purification function. To make this tropical beauty grow healthily, we need to master five core maintenance elements. This article will comprehensively analyze the cultivation skills of indoor dripping Guanyin from soil ratio to daily management. The ideal substrate formula for basic maintenance factors is recommended to use the ratio of humus soil: perlite: river sand =4:3:3 to ensure a balance between drainage and water retention. When changing pots every spring, 5% bone meal can be added as base fertilizer. After changing pots, you need to stand for 3 days before watering. It is recommended to adopt stepped light management for light intensity control: in spring and autumn, 60% scattered light filtered by sunshade nets should be accepted, in summer, 80% shade should be strengthened, and in winter, direct light in the morning can be accepted for 2 hours. Long-term lack of light can lead to long petioles and dull leaf color. Environmental management key points: Balancing temperature and humidity in winter maintenance requires special attention. When the room temperature is lower than 12℃, the potted method should be used for insulation: the outer basin is filled with vermiculite, and the bottom of the inner basin is padded with 2cm ceramite. Combine it with foliar spray twice a week to keep the air humidity at 60%-75%. The water and fertilizer cycle management adopts the "see dry, see wet" watering method, and the soil on the surface layer is dried before watering thoroughly. 5-9 Water-soluble fertilizer with N-P-K=20-10-20 is applied every 15 days during the monthly growth period, and the dilution concentration is controlled at 800-1000 times. Stop fertilizer and control water in winter and maintain soil micro-moisture. Advanced maintenance techniques Regularly wipe the leaves with beer diluent (1:50) to clean dust and replenish trace elements. If leaf tips appear to be scorched, foliar fertilizers containing calcium and magnesium can be applied to remedy it. It is recommended to carry out hydroponics to stimulate roots during the plum rainy season, and then transfer to soil culture after three aerial roots of more than 5cm have grown.
Through scientific maintenance and management, Dishui Guanyin can not only show beautiful plant types, but its unique "spitting water" phenomenon can also become an indoor ecological landscape. Remember to rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure uniform light reception. Combined with the above maintenance points, you can cultivate healthy plants with bright, oily leaves and straight plant types.
