What are the breeding methods and precautions of black swan alocasia?

Black Swan Alocasia is an indoor foliage plant, native to Malaysia, is a very beautiful small Alocasia variety, the leaves are almost black, the shape is heart-shaped, the leaf surface has white stripes, the height of the pot is generally 50 cm, and it can grow 5-10 cm tall per year.

Breeding method: 1. Astigmatism: Black swan alocasia likes astigmatism, which is suitable for maintenance in a bright light but no direct light.

Under the right light, the black swan alocasia can promote good growth, the plant is strong, the leaf color is bright, and the color is beautiful. Black swan alocasia should not be exposed to the scorching sun, otherwise the leaves will be sunburned, causing the leaves to wither and turn yellow.

2. Replenish water: Black swan alocasia must be replenished with water during the growth period, watered in time, keep the soil slightly moist, and there must be no stagnant water in the pot, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot. In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to water in time to ensure a good water supply.

After entering the winter, the black swan alocasia will be dormant, so be careful to reduce watering. It's like most Alocasias, and you can water it once a week in the winter, try to feel the moisture of the soil before watering, and don't water it if it's not dry.

3. Supplemental nutrients: Black swan alocasia is a fertilizer-loving plant, so it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable fertilization. Fertilization can be applied once a month during the daily growth period, and the growth rate is particularly fast in summer, and sub-decomposed fertilizer or nitrogen-containing compound fertilizer can be applied every half a month.

4. Soil configuration: Black swan alocasia must be kept in a suitable soil environment, the soil is required to be loose, breathable, rough, and well drained, and can be mixed with humus, peat soil, and base fertilizer in accordance with the ratio of 2:2:1.

Precautions: 1. During the breeding period, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and control of gray mold, spray Nongliling wettable powder at the beginning of the disease, cut off the diseased leaves, and destroy them together.

2. Black swans are not resistant to low temperatures, so they should be maintained indoors in winter, and the room temperature should be controlled above 15 degrees Celsius, and they should be kept growing in an environment of 20-30 degrees Celsius as much as possible; Move to a shady location in summer to avoid sun burns.

1. Temperature: It can generally get better growth and development in an environment above 20 degrees, if the temperature is too low, it is easy to stop growing in a dormant state, which will affect its growth and development, so it must be Alocasia in winter.

Move the pot to a warm place indoors.

2. Top dressing: This is a fertilizer-loving plant, so you can add thin fertilizer every month to promote its growth and development.

3. Watering: Alocasia needs more water in summer than in the past, so it must be watered more in summer, but not overly greedy, maintain a certain degree, generally the soil is slightly moist, and there must be no water in the pot, otherwise it is easy to cause the roots of Alocasia to fester. Alocasia can become dormant in winter, so be sure to water less and fertilize it off.

4. Sunlight: Alocasia is a plant that likes shade, so never expose it to direct sunlight, otherwise it will sunburn the leaves of Alocasia.

Farming note: Because Alocasia grows very fast in summer, it needs slightly more nutrients at this time than in other seasons. Generally, it is necessary to apply a decomposed fertilizer or nitrogen-containing compound fertilizer to Alocasia every half a month.

If the fertilization is not timely, it is easy to cause the incomplete development of the stem of the alocasia, and it is easy to make the hypertrophic green leaves turn yellow or wither, which affects the overall appearance of the alocasia, and the flowers may not bloom in serious cases.

Because Alocasia likes a warm and humid environment, the outdoor cold in winter is not suitable for the growth of Alocasia, so it is necessary to transplant Alocasia indoors or greenhouses, although Alocasia does not like sunlight, but in winter it should be exposed to 4 hours of light every day, so that the Alocasia morphology can develop better. However, there is no need to fertilize it in winter, because Alocasia will generally be dormant in winter, and stopping fertilization at this time will help it to dormant and will not burn the roots.

Black Swan Alocasia Features:

and base fertilizer, according to the ratio of 2:2:1 mixed in the soil, before planting black velvet alocasia, you need to dry the potting soil for 2 days to eliminate the germs in it, in order to prevent the plant from disease.

The common disease of black velvet alocasia is gray mold, in the early stage of plant disease, it is necessary to immediately spray Nongli Ling wettable powder for treatment, if the leaf disease is serious, it is necessary to immediately cut off the diseased leaves of black velvet aloc to prevent the spread of the disease and affect the growth of other healthy leaves.

Black swan alocasia maintenance is not very difficult, the plant for the soil requirements are not high, but to loose and fertile soil is the best, usually can be prepared with humus, peat, base fertilizer, maintenance environment temperature is best above 20, summer to be properly shaded, can not be placed in the sun directly, only in the morning and evening appropriate sun can be.

The black swan alocasia is relatively easy to raise, but only by providing a good growth environment for it can the plant grow and develop better, otherwise the growth of the plant will be affected.

The cultivation method of black swan alocasia.

1. Soil

Black swan alocasia does not have high requirements for soil, but it is best to use loose and fertile soil, and can usually use humus soil, peat soil, and base fertilizer to prepare soil for it.

2. Temperature

Black Swan Alocasia is a tropical plant, the plant likes high temperature, not cold-tolerant, the maintenance environment temperature is best above 20, if the temperature is too low, it may cause the plant to stop growing.

3. Watering

When watering the black swan alocasia, it is required to follow the principle of "seeing dry and wet", keeping the soil in a slightly rolling and wet state, and when the temperature is too high, it is necessary to appropriately increase some watering frequency and watering amount.

4. Illumination

The black swan alocasia is shade-loving and afraid of strong light, and it should be properly shaded in summer, and the plants can not be placed in direct sunlight, only in the morning and evening.

Precautions for the maintenance of black swan alocasia.

In the growing season, the black swan alocasia needs to ensure a good supply of water, and often keep the potting soil moist, in addition to watering, but also often use a watering can to wash the leaves, which can also increase air humidity.
