Cultivation methods and precautions of white flower Lycoris

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It prefers a cooler environment, specifically, it is more suitable to keep it between 15 and 20 degrees. Wild white amaryllis also grows in cool places. It is a plant that is very intolerant of high temperatures, so certain cooling measures need to be taken in summer. However, its cold resistance is still good.

2. Light: It has strong adaptability to sunlight. It prefers partial shade, but it is also quite resistant to direct sunlight. Therefore, being exposed to strong direct light for a short period of time will not cause any harm. However, overall it grows better in semi-shaded areas, so just provide diffuse light.

3. Watering: It has a relatively high adaptability to water. It likes moisture but is also drought tolerant. But during the growing and flowering periods, try to keep the substrate moist.

4. Fertilization: It does not require much fertilizer and does not have very high requirements for nutrients in the soil. Generally no fertilizer is needed.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Seeding propagation can be adopted. However, it should be noted that if this method is used, it will take five to six years from sowing to flowering. After collecting the seeds, they need to be sown immediately. The sowing site needs to be selected in advance, and the main consideration is whether it has good air permeability. After sowing, water thoroughly and block out strong light.

2. Repotting: It can also be grown in potted plants, and at this time you need to pay attention to the issue of repotting. However, since it does not have particularly high requirements for soil quality, the interval can be longer, and it is sufficient to replace it every three or four years. When choosing soil, the requirements are not too many. The main consideration is air permeability, and nutrients can also be considered a little.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: A common type is "soft rot", which can cause the plant to turn brown, and in severe cases it can cause its death. It can be controlled by spraying with benlate.

2. Pests: There are many types, including "white grubs", "amycotina armyworms", "spodoptera litura moth" and so on. The part that is most seriously damaged is the leaves. You can use some pesticides to spray and cut off the severely damaged leaves in time.

IV. Other issues

1. Flower language: It has many flower languages, including "independence", "passion", "goodbye" and so on.

2. Toxicity: It is poisonous, especially the seeds.
