Coral bell cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It has basically no requirements for maintenance temperature and can be cultivated in general areas. Because of its ability to withstand low temperatures, the plant can overwinter outdoors. Although the maintenance temperature requirements are not high, it will grow better if the temperature is adjusted according to its growth habits. It grows best when the maintenance temperature is controlled at around 25 degrees.

2. Watering: If there is plenty of rain, watering is generally not required. If the plant remains dry for a long time, its growth will definitely be affected. Each time you water, you need to observe the soil first, and only water it when the soil is completely dry.

3. Fertilization: It is tolerant to barrenness, and excessive fertilization will cause the plant to grow too tall. Top dressing is needed once a month after planting, and no more fertilizer is needed afterwards.

4. Light: It has a relatively large demand for light. Except for summer, it can accept full-day sunshine in other seasons. The sunlight in summer is relatively strong, so the plants need to be kept in a semi-shaded place.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. The breeding season is in spring or autumn every year. After digging out the roots, divide them into several clumps to avoid damaging the root strips. Just plant the divided plants into the soil.

2. Pruning: Before planting, branches that are not growing well need to be pruned to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients after planting.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is easily infected by pests such as aphids and red spiders. The pests will eat the tender leaves and branches of the plant and spread diseases. Therefore, if the plant is found to be infected with pests, it must be eradicated in time. Imidacloprid can be used for spraying treatment.

2. Diseases: When the plants are in a high temperature and high humidity environment, they are susceptible to diseases such as anthracnose, root rot, etc. If found, you can use carbendazim to irrigate the roots or spray for treatment.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic, but its juice can easily cause allergies in people, so be careful when maintaining it. If you accidentally get your hands stuck with the juice, wash your hands with soapy water.

2. Is it suitable for indoor cultivation: If it is an ordinary plant, it is definitely not suitable for home cultivation, but for potted plants that have been specially planted, they can be cultivated indoors.
