How to grow Chinese evergreen

Chinese evergreen likes warm, humid, semi-shady environment, is afraid of severe cold, avoids direct sunlight, and likes scattered light. It usually grows and develops best with the scattered light it receives every day. It is suitable for planting in slightly acidic sandy loam with good drainage and rich in humus.

Peperomia is not cold-resistant, and the maintenance temperature in winter needs to be above 10 degrees. The relative humidity for growth is best between 70% and 80%. It grows fastest at 25-30 degrees and a relative humidity of around 75%.

Watering method

In daily management of Chinese evergreen, you must master the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do". Watering needs to be done when the soil surface is slightly dry, not too wet. Do not water too much during the seedling stage to avoid root rot. Water frequently during the vigorous growth period and spray appropriately.

Fertilization method

Chinese evergreen has a great demand for fertilizer, and fertilizer management is very important during the entire growth process. As a foliage plant, the focus is on the ornamental performance of the leaves, so nitrogen fertilizer is particularly needed. However, the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied must be appropriate. If too little, the leaves will lose their luster, and if too much, it will cause the plant to grow too tall and become weak.

Pruning methods

During the cultivation process of Chinese evergreen, it is necessary to promptly remove yellow leaves, dead leaves, diseased and insect-infested leaves, and leaves that are about to fall. At the same time, the dense and overlapping branches and leaves should be thinned out, and the leaves that are not growing well should be cut off to increase the ventilation and light transmission of the plant. This will also prevent the invasion of some diseases and pests. Just don't cut too hard.

Precautions for growing Chinese evergreen

The amount of fertilizer and water during the growth period of Chinese evergreen should be reduced compared to the previous stage, and appropriate use of micro-fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be used mainly to increase the ornamental value of the plant. In addition, during the rainy season, it is necessary to prevent excessive water accumulation in the substrate and leaves, which will cause leaf rot. The light intensity should be appropriately increased, and attention should be paid to the balance of light to avoid crown imbalance of the plant.
