1、 Breeding environment
1. Humidity: its core focus in the maintenance process is humidity, and its requirements for humidity are particularly high. The ideal air humidity is between seventy-five percent and 85. Therefore, in addition to watering, we usually spray the blades and the surrounding area to increase the humidity of the growing area. p>
2. Light: Peacock bamboo taro requires bright light and is afraid of direct sunlight. Too much shade will have a bad effect on leaf color p>
3. Fertilization: it doesn't have very high requirements for fertilizer. Generally, it can meet its needs by giving it thin liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during maintenance p>
4. Temperature: it is suggested that the overwintering temperature of peacock bamboo taro should be above 10 degrees. If it is too low, its growth will be inhibited and even freezing injury will occur p>
5. Changing pots: when maintaining peacock bamboo taro, it is generally necessary to change pots for one to two years, so as to meet its needs for soil growth p>
2、 Diseases and insect pests
1. Starscream: in the maintenance, the occurrence of diseases and pests is not particularly large. Common pests include red spider and scale insects. The occurrence of red spider can be effectively controlled by spraying acaricide. In addition, the humidity should be high, and high humidity also has an inhibitory effect on red spider p>
2. Scale insects: in case of scale insects, it is necessary to remove them with waste toothbrushes in time. As long as such pests occur, there is no need to spray medicine p>
3. Disease: if the humidity cannot meet the requirements of Malachite taro, the leaves will roll up. At this time, it is necessary to put it back into the environment with high humidity as soon as possible, and the leaves can expand. However, if the leaves are rolled and dried for a long time, the dry edge, scorch tip and even the whole leaf will dry up. Therefore, maintaining a high enough humidity is an important part of maintaining it p>
