1、 Will you keep it at home

Acorus calamus is an aquatic plant. It has good ornamental properties. At the same time, it can also be used to expel insects or treat diseases. It is very suitable for domestic breeding. Although it has certain toxicity, it won't have much problem as long as it's not taken orally. In addition, it is also a custom of Jiangnan people to decorate it on doors and windows during the Dragon Boat Festival

2、 How to maintain

1. Soil: Although Acorus calamus is an aquatic plant, it can also be cultivated in soil. Moreover, the climate in the north is relatively dry and the water quality is alkaline, which makes hydroponics not conducive to its growth. It can be cultivated with red jade soil, which has good water retention and can make its roots grow faster

2. Watering: Acorus calamus has a high demand for water. We should not only water it more, but also keep it in a humid environment. For soil culture, water it once every morning and evening, and don't let the soil dry. At the same time, spray with clean water to improve the surrounding humidity and inhibit the loss of water in the leaves

3. Fertilization: the growth of Acorus calamus is inseparable from sufficient nutrients. Adding fertilizer in its peak growth season is more conducive to the upright and straight plants and the slender leaves. You can irrigate the root with cake fertilizer water once a week and dilute it before use. Stop fertilizing after frost, otherwise it will affect its growth
