How to grow the potted "Smoking Ghost" plant:

The potted "Smoking Ghost" plant is the green plant known as doubanlu, also called round-leaf peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia), a plant in the pepper family. The potted "Smoking Ghost" plant can effectively absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and secondhand smoke from the air, playing a very good role in purifying the air, and it is suitable to place near people who smoke.

The "Smoking Ghost" plant likes a humid environment, so loose, fertile soil should be chosen for cultivation. May to September is the growing season for the "Smoking Ghost" plant, and it should be watered more. If the weather is very hot, the leaves need to be sprayed or sprinkled with water to maintain air humidity.

For the soil used to grow the "Smoking Ghost" plant, it is best to choose fertile, loose soil with good drainage. It can be made by mixing river sand, mud surface material and leaf mold. The "Smoking Ghost" plant likes a warm environment, so it is best to keep the growing temperature at around 25°C. Do not let direct sunlight hit the plant; it is best to place it in a semi-shaded spot for growing.

How to water newly bought potted plants:

Newly bought potted plants generally should be watered appropriately. You can use your finger to poke the soil in the pot. If it is loose, it means the soil in the pot is dry, so you can water slowly and let the water seep down gradually until a fair amount of water flows out from the drainage hole. After watering, wait two days and then loosen the soil to a depth of about 1cm, which can prevent the potting soil from becoming compacted.

That is all for the introduction to how to grow the potted "Smoking Ghost" plant. Pay attention to the watering method so that it does not die.
