It is best to place the arrowroot flower on the eastern or western side of the apartment, since the plant does not tolerate direct sunlight - the light should be bright, but diffused.
How many years does arrowroot live
Arrowroots live 3 – 5 years with proper care, then the bush needs rejuvenation.
The plant is absolutely harmless to children and pets.
Planting and caring for arrowroot
Temperature: in summer – 22-24 ˚C, in winter – 16-18 ˚C.
Watering: the soil should be slightly moist all the time.
Humidity: high. It is recommended to spray the leaves daily in hot weather and keep the plant on a tray with damp sphagnum moss.
How to water arrowroot correctly
Maranta reed water is not drought resistant and requires a moist environment.
During the growing season in spring and summer, the plant must be watered once a day.
Water the soil thoroughly, draining any excess water that flows from the bottom of the pot.
Does the flower need pruning
Over the course of a year, the shoots of arrowroot become very elongated, and the bush becomes not entirely attractive.
Therefore, in order for the plant to grow neatly, you need to prune it on time.
