1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: it is mainly distributed in the south. It can be seen that it has strict requirements for temperature. Generally speaking, it grows well in an environment of 20 to 30 degrees. It has good heat resistance and generally does not need to be adjusted in summer. It has a little cold resistance, but it is not very good. Try not to be less than five degrees during overwintering

2. Light: it is a kind of plant that does not like strong light and does not have high requirements for sunlight. Generally speaking, it is best to put it in a semi shady place, which can not only carry out photosynthesis, but also won't let too strong light burn its leaves. In summer, it must be shaded

3. Watering: Purple backed taro likes humidity very much. Moreover, it is not drought resistant. It usually grows in wet places. If it is a potted plant, it is necessary to supplement water in time and do not let the substrate be too dry. In the summer, we have to spray some water in time

4. Fertilization: it doesn't need much fertilizer. In addition to the base fertilizer in the soil, usually topdressing can be done once or twice a month, and liquid fertilizer can be used

2、 Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: ramets can be used. A strong and vigorous plant can be divided once a year or two. It's best to breed when the temperature rises above 15 degrees. Remove the mother plant from the pot, and then divide it into and parts from the underground root. Then, plant them in containers and put them in a shady place

2. Changing pots: try to do it once a year, because the requirements of purple backed bamboo taro on the substrate are still relatively harsh. It can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, garden soil and river sand, and then mixed with a certain base fertilizer. When changing pots, if you find rotten roots, you can cut them off by the way

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: the main diseases are aimed at leaves, such as "leaf spot", "leaf blight", etc. It is best to treat it in time at the initial stage. Bordeaux liquid can be used, and it can be cured after about two or three times

2. Insect pests: mainly "scale insects". Under very poor ventilation conditions, they are very easy to appear and reproduce quickly. It can be controlled by fenitrothion

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: it has no poison and can be raised safely

2. Whether it can be raised at home: it is a good foliage plant, and it is very solemn and elegant, which is very suitable for indoor use< a>
