1、 How to raise the newly bought cinnabar root

Cinnabar root is suitable for growing in slightly acidic soil. When it was first bought back, it should not only provide it with a suitable basin soil environment, but also reduce the stimulation of the external environment. Place it in a warm environment with a temperature of about 25 ℃ for proper ventilation. Temporarily stop fertilization and water every 5-7 days on average. Each watering must be thoroughly watered. It is afraid of strong light irradiation and needs to be maintained in a place with sufficient scattered light

2、 Specific breeding methods

1. Soil: cinnabar root is suitable for growing in loose and fertile, well drained and breathable slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus. During breeding, rotten leaf soil, coarse sand and unburned rice husk ash can be mixed evenly to prepare its nutrient soil, which is conducive to the growth of roots

2. Watering: cinnabar roots like to grow in a humid environment. When they first bought it, they need to supplement sufficient water to keep the soil moist. Under normal circumstances, pay attention to keep the basin soil dry and wet during normal maintenance. If the basin soil is too dry, water it in time. The temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, and water can be poured every 5-7 days on average; In hot summer, water can be poured once every 3-4 days, and spray water around the plant appropriately; It's best to water once every half a month in winter, and it's best to water in the afternoon

3. Light: cinnabar root is bright. When I first bought it, in order to avoid damage to the leaves of the plant, I need to put it in a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance, or on the balcony for proper shade at noon

4. Warm: cinnabar root is suitable for growing in a warm environment. When it is first bought back, it needs to be maintained in an environment with a temperature of about 25 ℃ and properly ventilated. Under normal circumstances, its most suitable growth temperature is 25 ℃ - 30 ℃, which is not cold resistant. It is best to put it indoors for maintenance in winter, otherwise it is very easy to be frostbitten. In winter, insulation measures should be taken in advance to keep the temperature above 8 ℃ before it can survive the winter safely

5. Fertilization: cinnabar roots prefer fertilizer, but avoid thick fertilizer. When you first buy it, you can temporarily stop fertilizing, and then fertilize it normally when it returns to its normal growth state. During its normal growth period, it applies thin rotten liquid fertilizer every half a month on average, and can also supplement nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately, which can promote its vigorous growth. The principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer" should be followed when applying fertilizer. In winter, the temperature is low and the growth rate of plants is relatively slow. It is necessary to reduce or stop fertilization to avoid fertilizer damage and affect the growth of the next year
