1. Soil: White pepper grass likes loose and fertile soil. If the soil is too sticky and heavy, the drainage capacity is poor, which easily affects the respiration and growth of the roots.Usually, humus soil is used to prepare pot soil with coarse sand, or peat soil with perlite, either way, a small amount of horse manure should be added as base fertilizer to provide nutrients for plant development.
2. Illumination: Zanthoxylum bungeanum is suitable to grow in a semi-shade environment. It needs a certain amount of scattered light, but it cannot be exposed to the sun, otherwise its leaves will be burned and the development of the plant will be affected.Usually, it should be placed in a bright indoor place, which can be properly shaded in summer and exposed to light for a long time in winter, which is also very helpful to improve the ambient temperature.
3. Watering: White-veined pepper grass tends to grow better in wet places, and it also has certain drought tolerance, so it should be watered frequently, but not too much. Keep the pot soil moist, and no water can be accumulated.If the water is too much, it is easy to cause root rot, need to discharge excess water, and appropriate loosening, do a good job of ventilation.
4. Fertilization: Zanthoxylum bungeanum needs a certain amount of fertilizer during its growth period. Usually, it needs to be fertilized once every two to three weeks. The fertilizer is mostly thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer. The content of nitrogen fertilizer cannot be too much, otherwise the vein pattern on the leaf surface will fade away and its ornamental value will be reduced.In winter, fertilizer should be stopped in time, and if the temperature is suitable, fertilizer can be applied appropriately.
In the process of cultivating white-veined pepper grass, we must pay attention to pruning, cut off the withered and yellow leaves, and at the same time trim the horizontal branches to make it look more beautiful.In addition, it can also be properly pinched to promote the formation of branches.
