Soil: the soil can be prepared by itself. If peat soil and coconut bran are selected for marriage, the soil should be loose and have good air permeability. Water content: it is not suitable for long-term and large-scale watering. Too much water content will affect its growth, so it needs to be watered and permeable. Nutrient: organic fertilizer is often used to add nutrients to it. The amount of fertilizer should be well controlled to avoid more influence on growth. Light: it is not suitable for strong light. The best way to grow is to irradiate with astigmatism and control the light well.

1. Soil: the soil should be loose and have good air permeability, which can be mixed with peat soil and coconut bran.

2. Water content: when pouring, it is necessary to select water supply that is fully poured or step by step, because it is not suitable for long-term and large-scale irrigation. Too much water in the basin will cause the root, stem and leaf rot, affect its growth, as well as the absorption of water.

3. Nutrients: when applying fertilizer, organic fertilizer is often used. Put the organic fertilizer into the water to make it dissolve and pour it into the surrounding soil layer. But also to control the amount of fat, not too much or too little application.

4. Light: it is sensitive to light, because it is not suitable for strong light, and astigmatism is the best. If the illumination is not enough, the leaves in the middle will turn white. At this time, we need to increase the illumination.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Pruning and basin changing: when the dense leaf lotus is cultivated for two years or so, its root system grows well and its fleshy leaf thickens. At this time, the original flowerpot is not enough for its absorption, so it should be replaced with a larger flowerpot. When changing basin, we should trim the complicated root system for it, so as to better promote absorption.

2. Propagation: leaf cutting propagation does not damage the integrity of the whole plant, with high survival rate and the best propagation time in spring and autumn. Select the thick and strong meat leaves, insert them in the soil with sufficient nutrients, and you can see the buds grow in about a week.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Dry: due to the high temperature of hot air in summer, it will have dormancy, but it is not obvious. At this time, if you don't give it shade and astigmatism, frequent water replenishment will cause dry phenomenon, so pay attention to water replenishment.

2. Rotten roots and leaves: in daily protection, too much water is easy to cause root rot and leaves fall when touched. When watering, water supply should be done step by step.

4. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: it can adapt to the low temperature of zero centigrade in winter. If the temperature is lower than zero centigrade, it should be put in the house. At this time, it should be properly insulated to avoid damage to its growth due to low temperature.

2. Whether it can rain: the dense leaf lotus can't rain, and the leaves will wilt and rot if the rain falls on its leaves. In the basin water will cause root rot, so in rainy days to timely shelter.
