How to raise sunset love

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Loose, well-drained soil is needed to grow the Asterix ternata. In addition, its root system is very strong, so the depth of the flowerpot must be sufficient, which will be more conducive to its growth.

2. Watering: Ensure sufficient water. In spring and autumn, you can water more appropriately to ensure that the soil is moist, but there should be no accumulation of water. In winter when the temperature is lower, the amount of watering should be reduced.

3. Light: It is best to place it in a place with sufficient light. It should be exposed to light as much as possible in winter and properly shaded in summer to prevent its leaves from being burned. Insufficient light will cause the leaf color to fade and growth to slow down.

2. Breeding Methods

Cutting propagation: It is best to do it in spring and autumn. You can use strong leaves or rosette leaves. They must be dried before cuttings, then inserted into the soil and placed in a cool place with good light. It grows relatively slowly, so you have to wait patiently.

3. Common pests and diseases

Sunset love is very susceptible to diseases and insects, so ventilation must be ensured and water should not accumulate in the potting soil. After discovering diseases and insect pests, you can use carbendazim and methyl thiophanate to prevent and control them.
