During the cultivation period, the arrowroot has certain requirements for temperature and humidity. It grows fastest when the outside temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. It usually likes a humid environment. It is best to let the environmental humidity reach about 80%. If the ambient air is dry, you can spray water directly on its leaves and surroundings.

Daily maintenance is also very important when growing the arrowroot. In addition to normal watering, it is also necessary to adjust the light. It can be placed in the sun at ordinary times, but from May to September each year is the time when the sun is strongest. At this time, necessary shading should be carried out to prevent the arrowroot from being exposed to strong light. In addition, the arrowroot cannot be placed in a dark place for a long time, otherwise its leaves will lose their luster and its growth will slow down.

4. Reasonable fertilization

When growing the arrowroot, you must apply fertilizers reasonably. When growing it indoors, you should not apply fertilizers with a strong pungent smell. It is best to choose colorless and odorless fertilizers for foliage plants. When fertilizing, you can dilute the fertilizer and directly water it, or you can dilute it and spray it directly on the leaves. This will make the leaves more attractive in color and also make it grow well.
