Reticulated grass is a popular potted plant, its appearance is small and cute, although the plant shape is a little strange, but it is quite novel, it is very suitable for indoors, you can usually look at it when you are bored.
Of course, with the cute appearance of it is not very good to raise, very easy to dry leaves yellow, however, this problem in front of its "cute" is not harmful, we just need to pay more attention to some correct maintenance methods in daily life, reticulated grass can grow very well Oh, and then Xiaorui will share with you 6 kinds of maintenance methods.
1, the importance of temperature
For reticulated grass, the growth temperature is a very important point, to know that it is a plant that likes a warm environment, the most suitable temperature in its growth environment is about 20 degrees Celsius, so it is best not to be too low at home, if you open low temperature air conditioning in the summer, remember to move the reticulated grass out of the outdoors.
In addition, the cold ability of reticulated grass is worse than many plants, when the air temperature is lower than 10 ° C, it is easy to be frostbitten, and even die, so in the winter, pay more attention to the warmth of reticulated grass, found that the temperature is too low to heat it up in time, it is best to keep the temperature at about 15 ° C.
2, watering needs to be regular
Watering is also very important for reticulated grass, daily maintenance we must remember to regularly water reticulated grass, reticulated grass likes to be wet and afraid of drought, if the soil is short of water for a long time, its leaves will dry and yellow, and the plant will also wither.
If this happens, we only need to cut off the dead yellow leaf, water it once, leave it in a ventilated and light place for a period of time, and when we maintain the reticulated grass, we can also spray some water on the leaves to keep the leaves moist.
3. The need for the environment
The requirements of reticulated grass for the environment are not very high, but it is necessary to ensure that there is humidity on the leaves, pay attention to the ventilation of the indoor environment, and remember not to put it in a fully enclosed environment, otherwise it will cause the wilting of reticulated grass.
In addition to ventilation, reticulated grass also prefers a humid environment, and it is also a good choice to put it in the bathroom, because the water vapor in the bathroom is large, and even if we forget to water the leaves, they will not wither.
4. Suitable soil
Reticulated grass on the soil requirements are also higher, it likes loose and fertile soil, in addition, drainage should be stronger, otherwise the water it can not absorb, the water piled in the soil will cause rotten roots.
XiaoRui suggested that you can use river sand mixed with saprophyll soil or peat soil to cultivate, in fact, there is another method, with a 2 to 1 ratio of perlite with peat soil into the pot can also give reticulated grass soil.
5. Pay attention to the light intensity
Although reticulated grass likes to be warm and moist, it is afraid of strong direct light, too strong light will burn its leaves, quickly evaporate water, especially when we forget to water, reticulated grass leaves will be dehydrated, resulting in yellowing and wilting of leaves.
Therefore, in the case of usual maintenance of reticulated grass, remember not to put it in a place with direct sunlight, it is best to place it in a cool place and bask in the sun in moderation.
There is no need to think so much about cultivating reticulated grass in winter, because the winter sun will not be too strong, so it can be moved out of the outdoors in the winter to bask in the sun.
6, how to reproduce quickly
In fact, the most common in daily life is hydroponic reticulated grass, using transparent container breeding, we can clearly see whether its delicate water roots have problems, of course, transparent containers can also increase the sense of beauty, and hydroponic reticulated grass breeds very quickly, the steps of cuttings are also very simple.
You only need to take a 5 to 8 cm cutting from the creeping stem that grows out of the pot surface to ensure that it has 3 or 4 stem nodes, and then pluck the lower leaves, dry them and insert them into the sand bed.
However, after cuttings, we must keep the air humidity of the reticulated grass above 75%, below 85%, when the climate is relatively dry, you also need to spray the cuttings to add humidity, 2 times a day, but in the rainy weather is relatively humid, the temperature is also low, you can reduce the spray or do not spray.
However, in addition to cuttings propagation, there is a simpler propagation of reticulated grass, but this is for plants with dense growth with reticulated grass stems and leaves, creeping plants grow indefinite roots, in this case, we only need to cut the roots together in the creeping root of more than 10cm, you can directly cultivate, and then restore in the semi-shade for about two weeks, you can normally breed.
