Potted planting swallows, the best choice of soil and garden soil, mixed with a small amount of river sand, and then add some compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer. Ensure that the soil has certain water retention and good air permeability.
The optimum growth temperature of swallow paw is 15 ℃ ~ 32 ℃. It is afraid of high temperature and sultry. When the temperature is over 33 ℃ in summer, it will enter into dormancy state. Avoid cold and frost, keep the temperature above 10 ℃ in winter, and enter the dormancy state when the temperature drops below 7 ℃ in winter. If the ambient temperature is close to 4 ℃, it will die of frostbite.
The swallows' palms like the sun. If the light is not enough, it is easy to cause the wet and hot rotten roots to take off their leaves. However, the hot summer and strong sunlight are harmful to the growth of the plants. In winter, the flowerpot should be moved to the sunny place in the shed to keep the leaves green. If the sun is abundant, the leaves of the swallow's paw will appear a touch of red. The red and green are very nice.
From spring to autumn, swallow's paw can be watered once every 1-2 days without water in the basin. In summer, when the temperature is over 30 ℃, the plant is in dormancy and semi dormancy, so the watering should be controlled. At the same time, we should pay attention to spray the temperature around, pay attention to ventilation, try not to sprinkle water on the leaves. Don't bask in the sun immediately after watering! In winter, the number of watering should be appropriately reduced to keep the basin soil slightly dry.
Swallow's paw doesn't require much water and fertilizer. Sometimes it can control water and fertilizer. According to the growth of the plant, if the growth is weak, the liquid fertilizer containing potassium can be applied or the thin fertilizer water of the rotten cake can be added once a month in the growth season. If the plant wilts due to fertilization, stop fertilization immediately.
