Pocketbook plant (detailed introduction)
Pocketbook plant should be kept in a ventilated and cool environment, especially after flowering in spring and when seeds mature in October. In summer, attention should be paid to proper shading. During the growth process, avoid excessively wet potting soil; generally water only when dry. When summer temperatures are high, watering must be controlled even more; high temperature and high humidity can cause root rot and leaf mildew. It is best to mist frequently indoors to increase air humidity. When watering, be careful not to let water directly hit the plant. If water frequently accumulates on the leaves and buds, it easily causes rot. During the growing season, apply decomposed liquid fertilizer once every 10 days. At the early flowering stage, fertilizer mainly based on phosphorus should be applied. When fertilizing, do not let fertilizer water stain the leaves.
