Flowers & Gardening 0 views
This is a green potted plant suitable for decorating a desk or balcony. Because this plant variety has relatively short leaves that are short and wide in shape, and the leaves also curl and overlap, with elegant patterns on the leaf surface, it is loved by many people. Moreover, it has low requirements for soil and fertilizer, and can even be grown in water. Let's take a look at how to care for it!

I. Growing methods

1. Light. This plant does not have high light requirements; it just needs sufficient light. In the hotter summer months, avoid having it scorched by intense sunlight; apart from that, it can actually receive plenty of light in the other seasons. If the plant is placed in a spot indoors with no light for too long, the leaves will slowly darken and gradually lose their vitality. However, once the potted plant has been indoors for a long time, it should not be moved directly into the sunlight; first place the potted plant in a dim spot to let it adapt, so the leaves can be protected from sunburn.

2. Temperature. This plant likes a warm climate, and its favorite temperature is 18°C to 27°C. In the cold winter, be careful to control the temperature well; you can place the potted plant indoors and keep the temperature above 10°C, otherwise the plant's roots will easily rot, causing the plant to die.

3. Water. This plant is actually a type that is accustomed to surviving in deserts, used to relatively harsh environments, and able to endure conditions without water. So once we water too frequently, its leaves will turn white and the color of the patterns on them will no longer be obvious. From spring to autumn, during these peak growing seasons, it should be given enough water. But after it enters dormancy in winter, we can control the amount of watering; just keep the soil dry. And be sure not to grow it in plastic or poorly draining flower pots, because once water accumulates, it can easily cause the roots to rot.

II. Precautions

During the high-incidence period for diseases, you can appropriately spray some medicine to prevent it from getting sick.
