The tortoise is usually planted in soft soil, and good drainage is particularly important for plant growth and respiration.Usually garden soil, sand and manure are mixed to prepare culture soil in a ratio of 2:2:1.Usually, every two years, it is necessary to turn over the pots and change the soil so as not to harden the soil and affect the infiltration of water.
As a green plant, the growth of the tortoise back needs proper light.Because it is not resistant to strong light exposure, it must do a good job of shading in summer, spring and autumn at noon, and do not put it in sunny places.If the environment is too dark, it will not be conducive to photosynthesis, so be sure to put it indoors in a bright place.
The tortoise likes a moist environment, and if it does not get water for a long time, the plant will grow poorly, thus affecting the development of the plant.Usually watering must be frequent, keep the soil moist, if the climate is dry, but also give it appropriate spray, increase the humidity of the environment, and spray on the leaves, can also keep clean.
The growth of the back of the tortoise needs a certain amount of nutrients, usually in the growth period every 15-20 days to apply a fertilizer, fertilizer more use decomposed cake fertilizer water.In addition, it should be supplemented with a little foliar fertilizer, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sprayed every 10 days, which can make the leaves longer and thicker, but also make it shiny.
