Upper basin

In the bottom of the basin, a layer of broken plastic foam blocks is added, and some nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers are added to the culture soil.

Select the tubers with buds < span > 4 < /span > ~ < span > 5 < /span > and trim them slightly.

In a week or so, your plants will be small and exquisite!

When fertilizing, the fertilizer and water cannot be poured on the leaves. When the leaves grow too fast, the external aging leaves shall be removed in time. In summer, don't worry about the withered and yellow leaves. Take out the tubers and dry them, store them and plant them in autumn.
