1、 How to raise the new silver queen

The newly bought silver queen can first choose the appropriate flower soil for it. Generally, she will choose the relatively soft peat soil, and then mix it with a small amount of fine sand. At present, it is in the stage of relatively slow growth, so there is no need to water and fertilize too much for the time being. When it is dry, water it again and place it in a warm and ventilated place with scattered light for maintenance

2、 Specific breeding methods

1. Soil: silver queen is suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil environment. When planting, you can prepare some acidic and fertile humus, and then add some well drained and breathable sandy soil, such as vermiculite, perlite, etc. Put some ceramsite on the bottom of the basin before putting it into the basin, which can increase the air permeability and water permeability of the soil

2. Watering: the silver queen has not adapted to the new environment when she first bought it. She can't pour too much water. She needs to reduce it as appropriate. When it's dry, she can pour it again. Under normal circumstances, it is in the peak growth season in spring and autumn. At this time, it needs more water. It must be watered thoroughly every time, and it can be watered twice a week on average. In summer, the temperature is high, so it is necessary to water frequently to keep the basin soil moist. Water once every two days on average, and spray water on the leaves of the plants regularly. In order to avoid frostbite of plants in winter, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering and keep the basin soil dry

3. Light: the silver queen prefers light, but is afraid of strong light. When you first buy it, you can put it in a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance. Don't put it directly in the sun for maintenance, otherwise the leaves are very easy to burn. It is recommended to maintain indoors at ordinary times. In summer, when the sun is strong, it needs appropriate shade. In winter, the temperature is relatively low. When the sun is not strong, it can directly receive direct light

4. Temperature: silver queen is suitable for growing in a warm environment. When you first buy it, you can put it in an environment with a temperature of 22 ℃ for slow basin. Under normal circumstances, its most suitable growth temperature is 20 ℃ - 24 ℃. In the high-temperature period in summer, it can be properly shaded for cooling treatment. In winter, it should be placed indoors for maintenance. The minimum temperature should be at least 5 ℃. In order to make it survive the winter safely, the temperature in winter should be kept at about 10 ℃

5. Fertilization: the silver queen doesn't need much fertilizer. When she first bought it, she doesn't need fertilization. Under normal circumstances, during the growth period, she can apply thin fertilizer every half a month. After applying fertilizer, she needs to water once, so that the plants can better absorb the nutrients
