How to raise little tiger weirs
As an Internet celebrity player in the home green plant industry, Little Tigertail has conquered countless plant lovers with its straight sword-shaped leaves and unique tiger stripes. This lazy plant, known as the "air purifier", has a lot of knowledge in the maintenance process. Mastering these five core skills will allow your little tiger tail orchid to not only grow healthily, but also achieve the bursting effect. Scientific soil allocation is the key to three elements of basic maintenance. Little saxiviera has developed root systems but is afraid of standing water. It is recommended to use the gold ratio of "legular soil 5: garden soil 3: perlite 2". Adding 10% pine bark every two years can enhance air permeability, and laying a 3 cm ceramsite drainage layer at the bottom can effectively prevent root rot. Remember that alkaline soil can cause leaf yellowing, and regularly use pH test paper to ensure that the soil is slightly acidic (6.0-7.0). Light and shadow control is important in spring and summer. It is recommended to accept direct light for 3 hours in the morning and use gauze curtains to filter strong light in the afternoon. In winter, southbound window sills can be placed all day long, and the "rotating basin method" is used to rotate 45 degrees every week to maintain symmetry of the plant type. If the leaves turn white, it means that excessive light needs to be shaded in time. The smart watering system adopts the "chopstick detection method": insert the bamboo chopsticks into 2/3 of the soil in the pot, pull them out without moisture before watering. It is watered thoroughly every 15 days in spring and autumn, shortened to 10 days in summer but halved in water, and kept the soil slightly dry in winter. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot to slowly inject water along the wall of the pot to avoid rot caused by water accumulation in the leaf core. Advanced maintenance dual-core precise nutrient supply growth period (April to October) apply monthly slow-release fertilizers balanced by nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, combined with foliar spraying of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (concentration 0.2%) once a quarter. During the winter fertilization stop, banana peel soak solution can be used to wipe the leaves to replenish potassium. Pay special attention to avoid applying undecomposed organic fertilizers. The systematic pruning plan carries out "three-level pruning" every spring: first-level pruning removes the aging leaves at the base, second-level pruning shortens the long leaves (retaining 2/3 of the length), and third-level pruning prunes densely clustered plants. After pruning, apply plant ash to the incision to cooperate with pruning for individual breeding.
Through the above-mentioned systematic maintenance plan, combined with detailed management such as monthly loosening of soil in spring and autumn, and regular leaf cleaning in summer, your little sagoseria can not only maintain a straight and straight posture, but also achieve a burst pot effect through tillering. Remember that observation is the best maintenance, regularly check the hardness of the leaves (normally it should be like leather texture) and the number of new buds, and adjust the maintenance strategy in a timely manner.
