How to grow Michelia scoparia

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is not cold-resistant or heat-resistant, and 15-25 degrees is the most suitable temperature. If the temperature is too low, anti-freeze measures must be taken to prevent it from being frostbitten. If the temperature is too high, it must be cooled down, because if the temperature is too high, it will stop growing.

2. Watering: It likes to grow in moist places, and the air humidity should be kept above 75. Generally, water should be given every other day. When the temperature is high, in addition to replenishing water to the roots, the branches and leaves should also be sprayed with water to keep them moist. It is best to choose spray when spraying, so that the water sprayed is finer and easier for the plant to absorb.

3. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer, and because of its fast growth rate, it consumes nutrients quickly. During the period of vigorous growth, the soil needs to be fertilized once every two months. Fertilizers with mild fertilizer effects such as chicken manure, fertilizer cakes, and bone meal can be used. No fertilizer is needed during the non-growing season.

4. Light: It likes light but cannot tolerate strong light. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight during normal lighting, and the daily lighting time should not exceed six hours. The sunlight in autumn and winter is relatively mild, so the exposure time can be increased appropriately.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Changing the soil: The soil needs to be changed once every one to two years. The time for changing the soil should be chosen in spring every year. When changing the soil, the old and dry roots should be cut off, and then the incision should be disinfected before replanting.

2. Pruning: It is not suitable for excessive pruning. You only need to cut off the excess and dry branches. You can do proper repairs at ordinary times to maintain a good plant shape.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: The plants are more susceptible to scale insects, aphids, and red spiders. If there are insects on the plant, you can use 1000 times the concentration of DDT to spray and repel the insects. If there are insects in the soil, you need to change the soil.

2. Pathology: Common diseases include leaf blight and anthracnose. When the disease occurs, cut off and destroy the infected parts in time to prevent infection, and then use 0.5 times Bordeaux liquid for preventive spraying to avoid secondary infection of the plant.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic. Not only is it non-toxic, it also has the effect of dispersing wind and cold and clearing the nasal passages. It has strong reproductive ability and can be used as a raw material for wood processing.

2. Flower language: Its flowers are pure white and very large. Its flower language is reserved, beautiful and reserved. Whether it is given to friends or lovers, it is a good choice.
