Cultivation methods and precautions of gorse

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: It is best to prepare the soil with more sandy soil and then mix it with some leaf mold. This way there are enough nutrients for it to absorb. Sandy soil has very good drainage and is very suitable for its growth.

2. Fertilization: Broom has very low requirements for fertilizer, even during its peak growth period. It only needs to be top-dressed once before it blooms, and once again after the flowers bloom. Fertilizer is basically not needed at other times.

3. Watering: The principle of watering it is also very simple. Basically, just wait until the soil is completely dry and then water it thoroughly. Watering it more during its flowering period can effectively extend its flowering period.

4. Light: It likes light very much, so when raising it normally, it is best to keep it in a place with sufficient light, but be careful in the summer to avoid direct sunlight to avoid sunburn.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: The pruning of broom is mainly carried out in spring and winter. In spring, prune diseased branches and shorter branches. In winter, pay attention to pruning overly long branches to maintain the aesthetics.

2. Repotting: Repotting is basically done every 2-3 years. Replace the sandy soil with new one, and then add appropriate leaf mold. After potting, pour a small amount of water and place it in a semi-sunny place for one or two days.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: If you water too frequently, yellow leaves will appear. Water only after the soil in the pot is completely dry. Once the root system is damaged, the leaves will easily turn yellow.

2. Aphids: Aphids can cause devastating damage to plants. After discovering aphids, you need to take insecticide measures as soon as possible. Generally, a 10% oxydemeton-methyl emulsion diluted 1000 times and sprayed on the sand can have a good effect.

IV. Other issues

1. Is it poisonous? Broom is somewhat toxic. It contains alkaloids. If children accidentally ingest it, they will have serious poisoning reactions. It is recommended to keep it out of children's reach to avoid the danger of accidental ingestion.

2. Can it be grown indoors: Putting aside the toxicity, broom can be grown indoors, and the flowers are very beautiful and bright. As long as it is exposed to more sunlight, it can grow well indoors.
