Porcupine grass has high ornamental value, in many people's home, will be planted in the balcony or courtyard. The following is my collection of pigweed breeding methods and precautions, I hope it will help you.

Soil: Soil to loose, fertile and breathable humus or peat soil is good. A mixed substrate of peat soil, water moss, charcoal and fir bark chips is commonly used for potting.

Watering: Hogweed is sensitive to moisture. Hogweed in high humidity conditions in order to grow and develop normally, the growing period need to spray water frequently, 4 to 5 times a day. If the temperature varies greatly, too dry, will affect the formation of leaf cage.

Sunshine: Hogweed for epiphytic plants, often grown under large forests or rocky north, natural conditions are semi-shade. In summer, under strong direct light, must be shaded, otherwise the leaves are easy to burn, directly affecting the development of the leaf cage. But long-term in the shade conditions, leaf cage formation slow and small, cage surface color dull.

Temperature: the appropriate temperature for the growth of hogweed is 25 to 30 ℃, 21 to 30 ℃ from March to September, 18 to 24 ℃ from September to March. Winter temperature is not less than 16 ℃, 15 ℃ below the plant stops growing, 10 ℃ below the temperature, the edge of the leaves suffered frost damage.

Fertilizing: Hogweed does not need to be specially fertilized, because Hogweed can usually pounce on insects to transform nutrients on its own, if Hogweed has insects to eat, there is no need to fertilize.

Pests: Hogweed is often affected by leaf spot disease and shellfish. Leaf spot disease with 50% daisen zinc wettable powder 1000 times liquid spray. The chitinous insects are sprayed with 40% Lego emulsion 2000 times.

Pruning: The cage of hogweed is a kind of metamorphosis leaves, so it like other plant leaves will also senesce and die. Generally, each cage can survive for a number of months under suitable conditions. When it has withered, it can be cut back to make the whole plant look nicer, but this is purely for looks and has nothing to do with the health of the plant.

Placement: Hogweed is a vine and must have something to cling to in order to stand, so it is necessary to build a stand for it. In order to stand, need to use a larger pot, on the other hand, using a larger pot can hold more cultivation value, so that the pot is stable, heavy, can support a large hogweed without being blown over by the wind.

1, hogweed flowers do not have any ornamental value, flowers are small and flat tantalizing, only a few varieties of flowers are more brightly colored, in addition, hogweed flowers will emit a not so good smell, so as far as possible do not breed indoors, patio balcony is the best choice.

2, hogweed is a vine plant, must be attached to stand, so you need to give the hogweed to build a stand. In order to stand, need to use a larger pot, on the other hand, using a larger pot can hold more cultivation value, so that the pot is stable, heavy, can support large trees of hogweed and not be blown down by the wind.

Porcupine effect

Porcupine is also a kind of gardening plants, want to let your Porcupine live well, live good-looking, naturally, you have to keep it well, Porcupine needs a moist environment, to often shower to moisturize, but also around the spray a little mist, so that you can get up and moisturize the role of the role of the.

Especially in summer, the temperature is very high, it is more important to increase the humidity, only in this five realms of the hogweed will grow vigorously, but also will grow to grow a can catch the bag of insects, this is the hogweed is the most characteristic of a place, the small bag of insects is particularly beautiful, but also particularly pleasing to the eye.

Porcupine grass is like a strong light environment, but also worried about strong direct light, if the light is not enough will grow very small, the leaves and the insect bag are not good. There is also no luster. At the same time also have to be in a ventilated environment to work.
