The ruler originated in the tropics, likes the warm environment, and requires sufficient light. The suitable temperature for the growth of the ruler is between 25 ~ 35 ℃, and the winter temperature should be above 13 ℃, at least not lower than 10 ℃, otherwise it is easy to freeze and rot the stem nodes of the ruler.
In summer, the light is strong, so it is necessary to put the measuring ruler in the semi overcast environment for maintenance and proper shade. In winter, it is required to have sufficient sunlight, which can be put in the sunny place indoors and exposed to sunlight.
The ruler likes loose, fertile and humus rich soil. Potted soil can be mixed with rotten leaf soil and coarse sand and added with a small amount of rotten chicken manure or cow manure. The soil is required to be loose, permeable and well drained.
The requirement of measuring ruler for water and fertilizer is not high. In spring and autumn, it is required to be dry and thoroughly watered. Water should be watered once every half a month, but water should be sprayed to plants every day to increase air humidity. In summer, the evaporation is large, so it is necessary to supplement water in time and water once a day, but it is necessary to avoid ponding in rainy days. In winter, the basin soil should be kept moderately dry to reduce the amount of water poured, but the air humidity should be kept high.
The demand for fertilizer is not too high. During the growth period, the rotten liquid fertilizer is applied every 15 to 20 days, and the fertilization should be stopped in winter. Pay attention not to use too thick fertilizer, so as not to cause fertilizer damage and root rot.
Mode of reproduction
