The stem tissue of Dishui Guanyin is relatively loose. If the water quality is poor, it is easy to be polluted and cause rotten roots and stems. Therefore, keep the bottle clean. At the same time, the forehead mucus on tuber and root system should be cleaned and the rotten root should be cut off.
Dishui Guanyin is a very common domestic green potted plant, but because it is a tropical plant, it generally does not bloom in the north. But if the home temperature and other conditions are suitable, it will also bloom. It can grow well only when the temperature is not lower than 18 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, it will be dormant and stop growing. Pay special attention to indoor ornamental cultivation.
It does not have high requirements for soil, but it grows best in sandy loam or humus loam with good drainage and organic matter. Because Dishui Guanyin loves warm, humid and semi overcast environment and is not cold resistant, it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist during the growing season. But it can stand a little drought.
In summer, the flowerpot should be placed in the semi shade ventilation area, and the water should be sprayed around and on the leaves frequently to increase the air humidity, reduce the temperature of the leaves and keep the leaves clean. Dripping Guanyin should be watered more in summer, but not too much. When it is suitable, it should be dry and wet. There should be no water in the soil, or the tubers will rot. Dormancy in winter, less water, stop fertilization.
Because the growth of Dishui Guanyin is very fast, it is more fertilizer loving. Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer 1-2 times a month (the proportion of nitrogen can be higher appropriately). If a little ferrous sulfate can be applied, the leaves will be bigger and greener. The long-term lack of fertilizer will easily cause the lower end of the stem of Dishui Guanyin to be bald, which will affect the ornamental value. When the temperature decreased and entered the dormancy period, fertilization could be reduced or not.
If you want to keep the Dishui Guanyin in the room small and exquisite, just wait until its seedlings grow to a foot, suitable for family placement, immediately spray the whole plant with 2% Paclobutrazol solution, and then the stems and leaves are no more than 40 cm high, and the leaves are thick, so the ornamental value is very high. Spraying once in half a year or so can play a good role in controlling height. The juice in the leaves of dripping Guanyin has made the skin itch after human contact, so be careful when contacting.
