How to cultivate Euonymus

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It does not have high temperature requirements and can be planted in a temperature range of 10-30 degrees. The maximum high temperature is 35 degrees. If the temperature exceeds the adaptable temperature, it needs to be moved to a cool place to cool down. If the temperature is below zero degrees, it will be frostbitten, so it is necessary to maintain it in freezing weather. Take anti-freeze measures.

2. Watering: It has relatively high requirements for soil moisture. The soil cannot be too wet or too dry. When giving water, the amount must be controlled to ensure that the soil is completely moist and there is no water accumulation in the soil.

3. Fertilization: It does not consume much fertilizer and water. If you want to fertilize it, the time is generally chosen in spring and summer, because this is its growing season and fertilization is beneficial to its growth. When applying fertilizer in spring, you should choose fertilizer cakes with a higher potassium content, and when applying fertilizer in summer, you should choose fertilizers with a higher phosphorus content. Whenever you fertilize, avoid using fertilizers containing nitrogen, as nitrogen fertilizers will promote the growth of branches and leaves and affect the appearance. The frequency of fertilization is once a month, and no fertilization is required in autumn and winter.

4. Light: It likes sunlight. As long as the sunlight is not particularly strong, there is no need to block the sunlight. Whether it is raised indoors or outdoors, it needs to be placed in a sunny place.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the cutting method to propagate euonymus. The time for cutting is generally selected in June and July. Choose semi-mature branches, that is, one-year-old branches, insert them into the prepared cultivation soil, and then place them in a place with scattered light. Water them appropriately, and roots will grow in about two weeks.

2. Pruning: Euonymus needs to be pruned frequently because it grows very fast. If it is not pruned in time, it will affect the appearance, especially those branches infected with diseases and pests. The purpose of pruning them is to prevent healthy branches from being infected and to concentrate nutrients.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is easy to be infected by the boxwood moth. After infection, you will find that the leaves of the plant are full of small eyes, which not only affects the beauty but also the health of the plant. It is necessary to use carbendazim for pest control, or you can use 1500 times of DDT for pest control.

2. Pathology: Insufficient sunlight or excessive watering can cause root rot in the plant. If the above situation occurs, you can dig out the roots of the plant, cut off the rotten parts, disinfect them with disinfectant, and then replant them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is a poisonous plant, so avoid accidental ingestion when growing it.

2. Can it be cultivated indoors? It does not require a high maintenance environment and meets home planting conditions, so it can be cultivated indoors.
