Philodendron cultivation

Growing environment：

It likes warm and humid semi-shade environment, and avoids cold and bright light. It is suitable for growing in a warm and dry environment at a temperature of 16-26℃. It is suitable for growing in sandy loam rich in humus and well-drained.

Cultivation technique：

Green velvet vine adaptability, about 10℃ began to grow. To keep the soil moist, when dry should also spray water to plants, cool down, keep the air humidity 70 to 80 percent. But if the temperature is below 15℃, reduce the watering amount. Winter to maintain 5℃ or so, basin soil can not be too tide. From May to September is the peak season for growth, fertilizing water once or twice a month, mainly with thin organic liquid fertilizer. But not too much, otherwise it will make face petiole long and weak, not easy to stand, affect the ornamental effect. Apply sufficient base fertilizer when changing POTS in spring. Light requirements are not strict, summer due to high temperature, high temperature and high humidity, to strengthen shading, ventilation, autumn and winter season temperature is low, full sunshine. Too strong light leaves will be yellow and green, shading will be too long, lodging, affecting the ornamental effect.

The juice of all green velvet is poisonous and inedible. If you want to trim the blade or change the basin, it is best to wear gloves to avoid hand discomfort.

1. Water and fertilizer management: watering and spraying should always keep the soil moist, dry, should also spray water to plants wet, cool, May to September for the growth season, every week fertilizable water 1 times, with calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, magnesium sulfate used together, nitrogen fertilizer amount can not be too much, otherwise it will make petiole long and weak, not easy to stand, affect the ornamental effect.

2. Temperature management: warm and humid semi-shade environment; Long suitable temperature 16-26℃, winter temperature is not less than 10℃, if the temperature is lower than 15℃, need to reduce the amount of watering, winter maintenance needs heating equipment, if no heating facilities, can use double layer insulation facilities, winter afternoon when the temperature drops to 22-24℃ to seal the shed in time.

3 Humidity management: like dry environment, appropriate watering can. To keep the soil moist, the plant should also be sprayed with water and cooled when the temperature is high, and the air humidity should be 60 to 70 percent.

4. Lighting management: Light requirements are not strict, and the illumination in spring is controlled at 15000-20000Lux; In summer, due to high temperature, high temperature and high humidity, shading and ventilation should be strengthened, and illumination control at 10,000-15,000lux is ideal. In autumn and winter, the temperature is lower and the illumination is controlled to 20,000-30000lux or full sunshine. Too strong light leaves will be yellow and green, shading will be too long, lodging, affecting the ornamental effect.
