1、 Breeding environment

1. Flowerpot: the cultivation is smooth. You can use the mud basin or pottery basin, and the size of the basin can be determined according to the size of the plant, any with a diameter of less than 18-34 cm

2. Soil: if you want to keep everything smooth, you should use soft, breathable, nutritious and humus rich soil. Specifically, it can be prepared according to the ratio of garden soil: rotten leaf soil: fine sand = 4:3:2

3. Temperature: maintain a temperature of about 20 ℃ at ordinary times, no more than 24 ℃ in summer and no less than 10 ℃ in winter

4. Light: smooth sailing, shade resistant but not strong light resistant. If it is cultured outdoors, it should be shaded in summer. If it is cultured indoors, it should be placed in a place where the sun cannot direct in summer

5. Moisture. Smooth sailing, like wet but not dry. The soil should always be kept wet and can not be completely dried up. When watering, it's best to pour it from the top down

2、 Breeding method

First prepare a flower pot and an appropriate amount of flower soil, then sow the seed, then cover it with a layer of soil, finally pour it with water, and put it in a place with 25 ℃, high humidity and half shade for curing

2. Ramet propagation: after autumn, cut off the small buds at the base of plain sailing, and then go to other flower pots. Also give it a moist and semi cloudy environment, and it will germinate soon

3、 Common diseases and insect pests

1. Leaf spot. If the smooth sailing leaves begin to grow spots, it is likely to be suffering from this disease. After discovery, the diseased leaves shall be removed and destroyed in time, and sprayed with chlorothalonil or mancozeb

2. Scale insects. If the number of scale insects is small, you can brush them down with a brush, then remove the sick leaves and disinfect them with medicine; If the number of pests is large, it is necessary to directly spray insecticides to kill them
