Selection of seedlings is important

Generally, we buy weeping angel seedlings at the flower market. When buying, you should pay attention to selecting seedlings with few leaf diseases and insect pests and strong branches, which will help the weeping angel to adapt to the pot quickly.

Pruning and disinfection

After buying the weeping angel, trim off the withered leaves and weak roots. Be careful not to tear them with your hands, as this will damage the tubers. After pruning, use carbendazim to disinfect the roots. Generally, soak the weeping angel in a diluted carbendazim solution for about two hours.

Root induction

After disinfection, let it dry naturally and then fix it in the flowerpot. Plants and insects are generally fixed with perlite. This is the key. If you want to quickly grow new roots and quickly adapt to the pot, you can use rooting powder mixed with water to promote rooting. The effect is very good. The water temperature is about 25 degrees, and new roots will grow in a week.

Static maintenance

When you see that the new roots are 5cm long, take them out and trim off some of the old roots, then put them in the pot for maintenance. The water quality at this time should be good, rainwater is recommended, and if it is tap water, it should be exposed to the sun before use, as the chlorine in tap water will damage the roots. Then place it where you want and let it sit for maintenance.

But in fact, the Weeping Guanyin is not always "thirsty". Generally, it only needs to be watered once a week when it is maintained indoors. However, for plants with good light and ventilation, the pot soil is easy to dry, so watering should be a little more frequent. But in general, the principle of "don't water unless it is dry, and water thoroughly when you do" should be followed.

4. Sunlight. The weeping angel likes sunlight and tolerates partial shade. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. Under direct sunlight, the leaves are prone to yellowing and burnt edges.
