The planting soil of millet star is generally composed of coal cinder mixed with peat and a small amount of perlite, with the proportion of about 5:4:1. The soil surface is paved with small stones. Small stones are necessary to avoid long-term watering, erosion of nutrients on the soil surface, resulting in soil hardening.
But generally from the flower market directly buy back with pot soil millet star, by the way buy a little more meat special soil, do not need to match.
Millet star likes cool and dry environment, and grows rapidly in cold and cool environment. In fact, millet star can also withstand the low temperature of 2 ℃ (indoor temperature). In winter, as long as millet star is moved to a relatively cold indoor environment, the temperature is about 10 ℃, not too high. The temperature of the home heating is sometimes more than 20 degrees. It is recommended to put millet star in a cooler place.
From September to June every year is the growing season of millet star. At this time, the sunlight intensity is moderate and can be maintained in full sunlight. But in summer, proper shade is needed to avoid burning the leaves. In the case of insufficient light, the distance between leaves will be lengthened, resulting in loose plant type, red color on the edge of leaves will disappear, and the whole plant will be dark. In the sunny environment, the plant type is compact, short and strong, and the distance between stem nodes will be shortened.
During the growing period of millet star, the soil should be kept moist to avoid water accumulation. Millet star will enter the dormancy period in the whole summer. Water properly, increase the frequency of water spraying, ensure sufficient relative humidity, and do well in ventilation.
In winter, although millet star is in the growing stage, it should be watered properly and watered a little. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, try not to water.
Take the branches with healthy growth points, cut them according to the height of about 3-5cm, dry the cut, or directly cut them in the dry granular soil. After a few days, a small amount of water supply is very good for propagation. Many small roots are easy to grow between the leaves.
Millet star likes cold and cool environment, so spring and autumn is its vigorous growth period, so it is very important to control watering. Water and sunshine should cooperate with each other. More water and more sun can grow faster. In addition, the temperature in winter should not be too high, so as not to affect the recovery of millet star.
