How to breed agave
1. Suitable soil
Loose, breathable and fertile substrate soil should be selected for breeding agave. Coarse sand can be mixed in humus soil, and both of them can be used as the culture soil of agave.
2. Sufficient moisture
During the growing period, agave needs more water, so it is necessary to provide sufficient moisture. In winter, agave will be dormant, so the amount of water must not be too much. If the temperature and light conditions are good, you can continue watering. If the conditions cannot be met, it is necessary to suspend watering directly. In addition, no matter when you water agave, you can't overdo it or accumulate water.
3. Reasonable illumination
Agave itself is a very light-loving plant. Therefore, when breeding at ordinary times, we must provide it with sufficient light. But it must be scattered light, not too strong light, otherwise it will make its leaves very dark. In addition, agave can receive light for a long time in winter to help it survive the winter safely.
4. Proper amount of fertilizer
Tequila does not have much demand for fertilizer because of its good adaptability. Generally speaking, using fertilizer once in the growing period can meet the requirements. But the amount of fertilization is still judged according to its own growth. If the growth is not good, you can use more fertilizer appropriately; If the growth is good, then use fertilizer once.
5. Prevention of pests and diseases
Summer is the season with frequent occurrence of various pests and diseases, so it is necessary to prevent these pests in time when cultivating agave. If symptoms appear, the infected part should be treated in time and treated with drugs.
Is tequila suitable for keeping at home?
Tequila is suitable for keeping at home, because it mainly has the following functions:
1. The main advantage of tequila is to beautify the home environment. Putting agave indoors can add a touch of green to a dull room. In fact, agave is very suitable for indoor potted plants, because it is simple and generous, and can be matched with various decoration styles.
2. Another advantage of domestic agave is to purify indoor air. It can absorb carbon dioxide and make the air fresh. In addition, agave can also absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, trichloroethylene and benzene, and it is an environmentally friendly green plant.
Although agave is suitable for keeping at home, the following matters should be paid attention to when keeping at home
1. Agave is toxic, and its toxic part is mainly juice, so it should be avoided to stick to its juice in daily life to avoid poisoning. If you are accidentally poisoned, you should go to the hospital immediately.
2. There are some small hard spines on the edge of the leaves of agave, so be careful not to be pricked by these small spines when breeding.
