Tiger pilan as a well-known green plant, its aliases have many, some people call it Chitose orchid, some people call it tiger tail orchid, this is mainly due to the pattern on its leaves like the tail of a tiger. Especially in the case of proper breeding, the green lines of different shades are contrasted, one by one, looking particularly domineering.
In the public perception, tiger pilan is a very good lazy plant,
If you, as the owner, do not do it right, then the plant will inevitably fall backwards and backwards and do not grow new shoots.
Tiger Piran can not be continuously exposed to strong light and exposure to the sun, because excessive exposure will lead to rapid metabolism of leaves to consume too much water and gradually dry tip yellow leaves or even die.
Especially in the case of the outdoor ambient temperature continues to exceed 30 ° C, when away from the window sill balcony and other direct sun exposure position.
At the same time, it is also necessary to give sufficient light while placing it indoors, generally soft and loose light, which lasts for 6 to 8 hours a day.
And if you do not want to cause unnecessary casualties in Tiger Pilan because of the ambient temperature, try to control the ambient temperature below 30 ° C and above 5 ° C.
Tiger pilan is a well-known succulent plant, its roots must not be tolerant of water environment, usually in the process of breeding, when as far as possible to use fertile and breathable soil to plant, of which the proportion of doped sandy soil occupies more than 10% or less than 20%.
At the same time, in the process of management, you also need to restrain your hands and try to water when the soil is dry.
If the soil is not dry or the air humidity is relatively large, such as rain and snow, you need to postpone watering, wait for the soil to dry and then start to wet the soil at one time. Generally on the second day after the soil is thoroughly watered, the moisture of the soil will drop to less than 50% to be qualified, which can be detected by a professional dry humidity detector.
Don't think that the soil is not a big problem, this is fatal for the succulent tiger Pilan, who likes to grow in loose and fertile soil.
If you want the tiger piran to grow more cubs and grow up healthy and strong, it is usually necessary to change the soil at an interval of 1 to 2 years in potting.
Anyone who knows a little about planting knows that the aging of the roots can directly cut off the main source of nutrients for the plant, causing the plant to gradually die.
☞ Not stuffy
Not only should the soil always maintain a loose and breathable environment so that tiger pilan can grow, but at the same time, the external environment in which it is located must also maintain a good ventilation state.
Unless you encounter special circumstances, you can briefly place the tiger piran in a more stuffy environment, and generally need to keep its environment and external air convection unobstructed.
☞ Does not like saline environments
Tiger Pilan, like most plants, prefers to grow in a weakly acidic environment, and the pH of the soil is stable between 5.5 and 6.5, which will threaten its growth and even survival once it exceeds this range.
However, the weak acidic substances in the soil will continue to be consumed with the growth of tiger pilan, resulting in an imbalance between acidic and alkaline substances in the soil, resulting in soil salinization.
The saline environment is very unfriendly to the survival of Tiger Pilan, so even if the soil does not have a large area of water or agglomeration, in the case of soil salinity imbalance, it is necessary to replace the soil in time. Replace it with the weakly acidic loose and fertile soil favored by Tiger Pilan. In this way, Tiger Piran can be healthy and strong, and constantly breed the next generation, whizzing and bursting pots.
Once the above points have been achieved, the growth and breeding trend of tiger pilan will be unstoppable, so even if there is no situation, when tiger pilan and the new tiger pilan seedlings gradually spread to 2/3 of the pot, it is necessary to replace the soil immediately.
Because at this time, almost the roots of tiger pilan have swallowed up all the soil inside the pot, and if the new soil is not filled in the later stage, to ensure that the root system can be in full contact with the soil, and to extract the nutrients necessary for survival, naturally the tiger pilan will gradually die.
Therefore, if you use small pots to plant tiger pilan in the early stage, the later maintenance is too powerful, and naturally the soil needs to be replaced or the plants need to be changed in pots for one and a half years.
