What are the cultivation methods and precautions of large-leafed green radish?

Introduction of Big Leaf Pothos

Big-leafed green ivy and small-leafed green ivy are the same variety, belonging to the genus Epipremnum. They are propagated by cuttings. In late spring and early summer, you can select sturdy green ivy vines with a length of 15-30 cm, trim the lower leaves, and then insert them into loose soil. The survival rate is over 90%.

How to grow big leaf green radish

The large-leafed green radish is a shade-bearing plant. It cannot tolerate direct strong light and is suitable for growing under bright diffuse light. It likes a humid and hot environment and is suitable for planting in humus-rich, loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil. It is not cold-resistant and the wintering temperature should not be lower than 15°C.

Watering method

Watering of large-leafed green radish in autumn and winter needs to be strictly controlled according to the room temperature. When there is no heating, the temperature is low and watering should be reduced. Even after heating, excessive watering is not allowed. It is better to use water that has been dried in the sun for a day. The temperature needs to be consistent with the soil temperature. When the air is dry, water can be sprayed around the plant.

Fertilization method

Before winter, the large-leafed green radish can be sprayed with liquid inorganic fertilizer at intervals of half a month. After winter, fertilization should be mainly done by spraying on the leaves. Special fertilizers should be used for foliar fertilizers. General inorganic fertilizers are difficult for the leaves to absorb. The Peking University Flower Protector series and Japan's Hana Ichiban can be used as foliar fertilizers.

Pruning methods

Large-leafed green radish is mainly pruned in spring. When the stems and vines of the plant have climbed all over the brown column and the tips extend about 20 cm beyond the brown column, they can be pruned short. Wait until they grow longer before pruning again. In addition, the old, dense, overgrown, and sickly branches and leaves also need to be pruned off to reduce nutrient loss.

Precautions for growing large-leafed green radish

1. When you grow large-leafed green radish, you must pay attention that it is a shade-loving plant and is not very phototropic. You can usually put it in a place with sufficient scattered light. It is best not to put it in direct sunlight. In addition, after entering winter, the large-leafed green radish should be kept away from heating, air conditioning and other heating equipment, otherwise its leaves will be damaged.

2. When cultivating large-leafed green radish, you need to pay attention to the choice of fertilizer. If you use ordinary inorganic fertilizers directly, it is difficult for the large-leafed green radish to absorb it, so you should apply special compound fertilizers to it. In addition, you can also spray liquid inorganic fertilizers on its leaves.
