How to grow chicken blood vine

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The temperature suitable for its development is between 20 and 30 degrees. It is not cold-resistant, so it is better to grow it indoors in winter.

2. Watering: Under normal circumstances, it is sufficient to water it once every two days. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, water it every morning and evening.

3. Fertilization: It does not require high fertilizer requirements. Fertilizer should be applied once a month. It needs to be watered once after each fertilization. The purpose is to allow the fertilizer to fully dissolve in the soil, which is beneficial for the plant to absorb nutrients. Fertilizers can be either farmyard manure or organic fertilizer.

4. Light: It likes light and is shade-tolerant, so it only needs more than four hours of light a day.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by sowing. During the growing season, sprinkle the seeds into the soil, cover them with a small amount of soil, and water them thoroughly. The seedlings will emerge in about two weeks. After the seedlings emerge, you should reduce the amount of watering appropriately and keep the soil slightly moist. When it grows three true leaves, it can be transplanted and planted. After transplantation, it needs to be placed in a dark place for a few days to slow down the growth. After it adapts to the new environment, it can be maintained normally.

2. Build a frame: It is a vine plant with strong vitality and grows very fast. It needs a frame to support it. You can choose wooden sticks or flower frames, or you can build the frame according to your preferences. However, if you build the frame, you need to do it in one go, because it will be very troublesome if you need to replace the flower frame later. Therefore, it is best to do it in one go and build the flower frame higher.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is more susceptible to infection by aphids. If found, treat it as soon as possible. The later the disease is, the stronger the pests' resistance to pesticides will be and the more difficult it will be to treat. First, you need to dilute the pesticide with water according to the instructions and then spray the plants.

2. Pathology: During the rainy season, if the soil drainage is not very good, the plant is prone to black rot. The roots of the plant will turn black and then rot. If this disease occurs, you first need to dig it out, then remove the rotten parts of the roots, apply disinfectant to the cut, and finally replant it in new soil with better drainage.
