Matrix

The loose, good drainage and aeration matrix is used as basin soil, which is generally mixed with rotten leaf soil and peat soil; It can also be mixed with pond mud, peat and perlite in the ratio of 2:3:1; Or it is made of loose rotten leaf soil rich in organic matter, one-third perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer

Before planting, add chlorothalonil solution to the substrate, add 1000 times of the solution to the substrate and stir. After adding water and mixing well, if you hold a handful of soil in your hand, the water will seep out from your fingers

Seedling selection

The seedlings selected during sowing shall be obtained from the mother plant with vigorous growth, no diseases and pests, beautiful plant type and thick leaves

The selected seedlings should be 7-8 cm high, with 3-4 leaves on them, without diseases and pests, dead leaves and yellow leaves

Flowerpot

It's best to select the mud basin with holes at the bottom of the flowerpot, which has good air permeability and drainage, which is conducive to the growth of plants

If you use an old flowerpot that has been used before, soak it in 1000 times potassium permanganate solution for more than half an hour before planting, then rinse it with clean water and dry it for use

If you use a new flowerpot, you don't need to clean it and you can use it directly

Planting

When planting, first place a suitable substrate in the basin, and then move the seedlings into the flowerpot. You can plant deeper, and it is better to level the base of the plant slightly

Hold the seedlings with one hand and add the matrix into the pot with the other hand until the pot is 9 points full

Smooth the substrate by hand, gently vibrate the basin soil, and then press it tightly by hand

After planting, water and fix the roots immediately, generally half through, or only wet the surface of the basin soil
