Pepper grass is easy to raise. It looks lovely and gives people a little fresh feeling. In addition, it needs no effort to manage, and it is full of vitality all year round, and it also has the meaning of good luck, so it is deeply loved by flower friends.
breeding method of pepper grass
1. temperature
pepper grass likes a warm and well-ventilated environment and is suitable for growing at the temperature of 2-28℃. Above or below this temperature, it will grow slowly, and it is neither cold nor drought-tolerant, so it is necessary to pay special attention to the maintenance temperature.
2. Illumination
Pepper grass, like most green plants, has a certain shade resistance, but it is not resistant to strong light in summer, so it is enough to provide astigmatism maintenance at ordinary times, so it can be moved to the north window sill in summer, which can ensure ventilation and receive scattered light, killing two birds with one stone.
3. Soil
Pepper grass likes loose and fertile soil with good drainage. If it is prepared by itself, it can be mixed with humus soil and vegetable garden soil, and finally mixed with a small amount of base fertilizer, which can meet the growth needs of pepper grass in the early stage.
4. Fertilization
Fertilization is indispensable for pepper grass to be bright in color and luxuriant in branches and leaves. Although it is indispensable for fertilizer, the requirements for fertilizer are not very high, as long as it is thin, phosphate fertilizer can be applied once a month, and decomposed cake fertilizer water can be applied in the rest of the time.
5. Watering
The water demand of pepper grass in the growing season is larger than usual, so the frequency of watering can be increased appropriately, but do not let the basin soil accumulate water. It can be watered in the morning and evening in the hot and high temperature climate in summer, and it is not necessary to keep the basin soil moist in winter, so it can be watered again after drying.
Precautions for pepper grass maintenance
When pepper grass is maintained in summer, it needs to be moved to a ventilated place, and water can be sprayed around it every morning and evening. The water mist sprayed by the watering can is relatively uniform, which can cool down well. If it is in winter, we must pay attention to warm-keeping measures and try to place it at a place above 1℃.
Potted pepper grass usually needs to change pots or loosen soil once a year, otherwise the soil will easily agglomerate and the air permeability will become worse. If the ventilation condition is not good at this time, it is not strange that pepper grass will attract pests and diseases.
