Colorful leaves
Scientific name: Caladiumhortulanum
Alias: Mosaic
Family Genus: Araceae
Origin: Origin Brazil
Morphological characteristics:
Mosaics are years of evergreen herbs. Underground with enlarged tubers, oblate spheroids. Basal leaves are shield-shaped or heart-shaped, green, with white, pink, dark red and other stains, spath green, upper greenish white, shell-like.
The leaves grow from tubers, oval or heart-shaped, and the colors change. Red veins are inlaid green, red veins are green, red veins are spotted, green veins are erythema, some leaves are pure white and only green or red veins are left, and some green leaves are covered with paint or watercolor spots.
Summer is its main viewing period, and the gorgeous colors of the leaves are full of coolness. The people's autumn leaves are getting messy, the winter leaves are yellow, they enter dormancy, and they begin to sprout again in the late spring and early summer. May-September is its vigorous growth period.
The mosaic leaves resemble the ears, colorful, colorful, is the top grade in the foliage plants.
Growth habits:
High-temperature, high-humidity, and semi-yin environments are not tolerant to low temperatures and frost and snow, requiring loose soil, fertile water, and good drainage.
Leaf color temperature suitable for 20-30 °C, no less than 10 °C at night, dormancy to maintain 10 °C, do not like light, shade 30-40%.
It is a kind of slimy soil, and is made up of five parts of clay soil, two parts of rot and two parts of sand.
Do not pull up yellow leaves in autumn, support the right support, give plenty of sunlight, fertilizer, so that the bulb hypertrophy, until the leaves are naturally yellow, before stopping watering and fertilizing.
In the spring of the following year, tubers are propagated. The natural ramets are isolated by cultivation of small balls next to the tubers. The artificial ramets are cut into several pieces of large tubers. Each piece must have bud eyes and be planted separately.
Reproduction method:
In order to reproduce mainly by ramets, the small tubers around the tubers were peeled off in April and allowed to dry for several days. It is also possible to cut the buds of the tuber with a knife when the tuber starts to shoot long leaves.
In terms of shade cultivation, color leafhoppers have significant differences depending on their species and degree of shading. Plant height and leaf length and width were larger when shaded by 80%, while those with 40% shading were more, but the varieties were slightly different. The number of different tuber cuts and the effect of chemical treatment on the plants were significantly different depending on the number of cuts of tuber propagated, the type of treatment of the drug, and the variety. The least number of cuttings, the number of days of the beginning of the leaf is shorter, the plants are higher, the number of leaves and scores are more, the length of the leaves and the width of the leaves are larger. Those who used Mancozeb (80% WP) had more scores than those who used Benomyl (50% WP).
use:
In addition to ornamental potted plants, decorated outdoors, the south can be planted in the room around the wall.
