How to raise Ziyang Velvet

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use loose and breathable soil for growing purple velvet. You can cover the surface of the potting soil with a layer of river sand to enhance air permeability.

2. Watering: Watering does not need to be too frequent, generally once a week is enough. Wait until the soil becomes dry before watering again. Do not water too much, as water accumulation will cause the roots to rot.

3. Light: Ziyang velvet needs proper light to grow. The light cannot be too strong, nor can it be grown in a dark environment for a long time, as this will cause the leaves to fade in color and the leaf stems to become brittle. The light is relatively strong in summer, so shading measures should be taken in time.

2. Breeding Methods

Leaf cutting propagation: It can be done in spring, but try not to do it in summer. Cut a full leaf, place it in a ventilated place to dry, and then plant it. Place it directly on the soil or insert it obliquely, and do not insert it directly into the soil.

3. Common pests and diseases

Ziyang velvet rarely suffers from diseases and pests, but prevention is still necessary. If the disease spreads to the leaves, the diseased leaves should be removed and burned to prevent secondary infection. Spraying with carbendazim can effectively prevent and control common diseases and pests.
