Dear potted lovers, today I want to talk to you about a super popular plant-calamus! Its slender green leaves seem to be poetry written by literati and literati, or a fresh scenery on your desk. So, how to raise calamus? Don't worry, let me take you step by step into this vibrant world. How much do you know about the habits of calamus?
Changpu, an elf from the water's edge, likes a humid environment, but is afraid of standing water. It is resistant to shade and cold, and does not have high requirements on the soil. It is simply a model of a "lazy plant". However, to raise it well, understanding its habits is the key! Soil: Soft and breathable, with sufficient nutrients.
The roots of calamus like to breathe, so the soil must be soft and breathable. You can choose a mixture of peat soil, legular soil and perlite. This kind of soil not only retains water but also breathes air, making it very suitable for the growth of calamus. Remember, it is best to keep the pH of the soil between 6.5 and 7.5 so that the calamus can grow more vigorously. Watering: When you see it dry, you will see it wet. Moderately moisturize
Changmu likes a humid environment, but it is not tolerant of waterlogging. Therefore, when watering, we should follow the principle of "see wet when dry" and keep the soil slightly moist. Summer is high and evaporates quickly, so the frequency of watering can be increased appropriately; in winter, watering should be reduced to prevent the soil from being too moist. Light: Enough scattered light, avoid direct light. Calamus likes scattered light and does not like strong direct sunlight. Therefore, when placing calamus, choose a place that can accept scattered light and avoid direct sunlight. If it is indoor maintenance, it can be placed by the window or balcony, but avoid direct sunlight. Fertilization: Appropriate fertilization promotes growth. The demand for fertilizer is not high, but appropriate fertilization can promote its growth. During the growing season, apply compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer once a month. Note that when fertilizing, avoid fertilizer coming into contact with leaves and roots to avoid causing damage. Trim: Trim it in time to keep it beautiful. The leaves of calamus are easy to turn yellow, so prune it regularly. Cutting off the withered and sickly leaves can not only maintain the beauty of the plant, but also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. When pruning, choose sunny weather to prevent leaves from rotting. Pest and insect pest control: Prevention is the first priority, treatment is the supplement. There are not many pests and diseases in calamus, but prevention should also be paid to. Inspect the plants regularly and treat them in a timely manner once pests and diseases are discovered. Pesticides or pesticides can be used for prevention and control, but attention must be paid to safe use to avoid harm to the human body and the environment.
