The origin of capsaicin is Brazil, mostly in the tropics and subtropics.
Because the lotus leaf is mostly distributed in the tropics and subtropics, it likes the high temperature and humidity growing environment, and it is not resistant to cold and drought. It requires sufficient light, and it is better to scatter light, rather than strong light.
Lotus leaf capsaicin requires sufficient scattered light, and it is best to avoid strong direct sunlight during growth. It is also very resistant to negative, in summer when the sun is strong, it needs to be shaded. In terms of temperature, the appropriate temperature for the growth of capsaicin should be kept between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃, which is not cold resistant. In winter, it is necessary to do a good job in heat preservation, preferably not less than 5 ℃, otherwise, freezing damage will occur. In summer, the temperature should not exceed 35 ℃, and proper shading and ventilation should be strengthened to reduce the temperature.
The requirement of lotus leaf and capsaicin to soil is very high, which requires good fertility and drainage. Generally, when planting lotus leaf and capsaicin, sandy soil can be selected. When potting, soil mixed with several media, such as peat soil, saprophytic soil, perlite, etc., can be mixed in a certain proportion.
The requirement of lotus leaf capsaicin is not high, but it is better to be wet. In the growth period of lotus leaf, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist and water it once a day. When the weather is dry, water can be sprayed on the leaf surface. But we should pay attention to the soil not too wet, so as to avoid rotten roots. Fertilization can be applied once or twice a month. In order to make the leaves green and beautiful, more nitrogen can be applied.
The propagation of capsaicin is mainly divided into two parts, one is propagation by plants and the other is propagation by leaves. Ramet propagation can be carried out in spring and autumn, and leaf cutting can be carried out from May to June.
During the growth of capsaicin, we should pay attention to the root rot and stem rot caused by too wet pot soil and anthrax caused by too wet air. It is necessary to keep the growing environment ventilated and use medicine spray for treatment.
In rainy days, we need to do a good job in drainage, to avoid excessive rain but too wet basin soil, and then rotten roots, rotten stems.
To do a good job in light control, too strong will burn the leaves and fade the color, while too much shade will make the plants grow in vain, fall and lose the ornamental value.
