1、 Soil precautions

Sandy soil is the best choice. Sandy soil can better drain water and is more breathable. On the one hand, it is conducive to the drainage of ponding, on the other hand, it is also conducive to the growth of roots. Properly adding some rotten leaf soil to the sandy soil can make the soil nutrient more sufficient. Perlite or bluestone can also be added to the soil. Change the basin every two years in the spring. While changing the basin, lose the old roots that are not growing well

2、 Lighting precautions

Little red clothes like light. The better the lighting conditions, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better and denser the leaves grow, and the colors of the leaves will be more gorgeous. On the contrary, if the light is insufficient, it will be detrimental to the photosynthesis of leaves, making the color of leaves lighter and sparse. Therefore, when the temperature is appropriate, it is recommended to place the small red clothes in a sunny place. But summer is its dormancy period, so we should pay attention to shading

3、 Watering precautions

Wait until the flowerpot is dry before watering, and water it thoroughly when watering. When pouring, pay attention to the soil, do not pour it on the leaves, which will affect the beauty, and do not pour it on the flower core, which is easy to rot. Try not to water in summer. In rainy season, the weather is wet and the water is heavy, so watering can be suspended

4、 Pest control

Scale insects are the number one pest killer of little red clothes. They are generally found in the roots and leaf centers. Once a scale insect is found, the long part of the insect should be removed decisively. In order to better prevent this pest, a small amount of soil insect pill can be mixed into the soil during planting

When it comes to hot summer, the ventilation conditions become worse, coupled with high temperature and humidity, the plants in small red clothes, especially the roots, are easy to rot and turn black. In case of blackening and decay, the diseased part should be separated from other healthy plants immediately to prevent infection. If the symptoms are mild, the rotten place can be removed, and bactericidal drugs such as chlorothalonil can be applied to the wound. After the wound is dried, it can be inserted into the soil to grow new roots
