Suitable soil: cultivate with soft, breathable, humus-rich, well-drained soil, and need to change the soil once every two years.
Suitable temperature: provide an environment of 20-25 ° C, strengthen ventilation in summer, and move to a warmer room in winter.
Reasonable light: let it accept scattered light, you need to block the strong light in time.
Water in moderation: Water frequently during the growing season to moisturize, and often spray water on the branches and leaves.
Reasonable fertilization: Apply a thin fertilizer solution once in the spring and autumn and half a month to replenish nutrients.
First, the soil is suitable
Prepare soft, breathable, humus-rich, well-drained soils where zebra green plants can grow vigorously and are easy to manage. Self-formulated can be mixed with saprophyll soil, vermiculite, peat soil and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, and must be disinfected after preparation to avoid residual bacteria and insect eggs. Soil for flowers and plants can also be purchased to meet demand. In addition, the soil must be changed once every two years to avoid soil compaction.
Second, the temperature is suitable
Zebra green plants prefer a warm environment, and the temperature between 20-25 ° C is the most conducive to growth, so that the growth rate is faster. Its high temperature resistance and cold tolerance are not high, so it is necessary to take temperature control measures in summer and winter during breeding. In summer, it is necessary to move the zebra green plants to a well-ventilated, slightly cool environment, the best temperature control is below 30 ° C, and in winter it is necessary to move to a warm place, and the temperature is best stabilized above 10 ° C, so as to ensure a safe overwintering and will not be frozen.
Third, reasonable to see the light
Zebra green plants like light, usually it is best to put in a well-lit environment, but only scattered light, not exposed, otherwise the leaves are easy to be sunburned. Summer light is too strong, will sunburn the foliage, must be shaded. In the low temperature environment in winter, the light is very soft, and it can be placed in the indoor lighting place to receive all-day light, which promotes the accumulation of more nutrients.
Fourth, water appropriately
Zebra green plant leaves are wide, water evaporation is fast, and it likes a humid environment, so during breeding, it is necessary to water frequently to ensure that the soil is slightly wet, the amount of water should be well controlled, and it is strictly forbidden to have water accumulation. In winter, its growth rate will become slower, and watering should be reduced, and the soil as a whole should be drier, which is conducive to overwintering. In addition, if the climate is too dry, it is best to spray water on the foliage frequently, which can increase the humidity and promote better growth.
Fifth, reasonable fertilization
Spring and autumn is the peak growing season for zebra green plants, during which the demand for nutrients is large, in order to promote vigorous growth, it is recommended to apply fertilizer diligently. It is best to topdress fertilizer once every half a month, and apply a diluted compound fertilizer solution, so that the plant can absorb quickly, and the fertilizer damage can be avoided, which is conducive to the overall growth.
