Breeding methods and precautions of colorful unicorn

The colorful unicorn is a plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. Generally speaking, plants in this family are easy to grow. Their growth habits are similar to those of cacti and prickly pear. In general, the simpler the plant shape, the easier it is to grow, and they can basically be easily grown.

How to breed colorful unicorn

1. Soil

When raising colorful unicorns, it is best to choose loose, breathable, and well-drained sandy soil for planting. Before potting it, you can add a small amount of bone meal to the soil at the bottom of the pot to help it grow better.

2. Lighting

Generally speaking, except when the sunlight is too strong in summer, we need to put it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. At other times, it is best to give the colorful unicorn a good lighting environment, so that its color can be brighter.

3. Fertilization

The growth rate of the colorful unicorn itself is relatively slow, so its demand for fertilizer is not very high. Generally speaking, when it is in the growth period, it is enough to sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium.

4. Watering

When watering the colorful Qilin, just keep the soil in the pot moist but not waterlogged. In addition, if it is in an environment with high temperatures in summer or low temperatures in winter, we need to control the water appropriately. Generally, it is enough to water it in small amounts once every half a month or a month.

Precautions for the maintenance of colorful unicorn

1. Shelter from the rain

During the rainy season, it is necessary to avoid the colorful qilin from being exposed to rain for a long time, otherwise it is likely to suffer from root rot and stem rot. Especially for the colorful qilin kept outdoors, it is safer to move it indoors as soon as possible.

2. Antifreeze

The colorful kirin itself is a plant that is not frost-resistant. If the temperature in winter drops below 5℃, be sure to cut off its water supply in time and keep the soil in the pot dry, otherwise the colorful kirin will easily get frostbite and it will be difficult to save it.
