What are the cultivation methods and precautions of cinnabar root

Cultivation method of cinnabar root

Cinnabar root likes a warm, sunny environment. When the temperature in spring is stable at above 15℃, it can be moved to a semi-shaded balcony or courtyard for cultivation. During the growth period, the soil should be kept moist. Water should be sprinkled around it and on the leaves frequently to increase the humidity of the air, and ventilation should be carried out frequently.

Watering method

Cinnabar root likes a humid environment. It is generally watered once every 3 to 4 days in spring, every day in summer, and every 2-3 times in autumn. The temperature is high in summer and autumn, so watering is done in the morning and evening. In winter, it is best to water at noon. Pay attention to watering in moderation to keep the soil moist and avoid water accumulation.

Fertilization method

In summer and autumn, cinnabar roots grow vigorously and have a greater demand for fertilizer, so more fertilizer can be applied. In winter and early spring, the growth of the plant is slow, so less or no fertilizer can be applied. In short, it is necessary to meet the needs of plant growth and development, while preventing the plant from growing too tall and affecting its ornamental value.

Pruning methods

During the growth period of cinnabar root, you can retain the strong and sturdy branches as the main trunk, cut off the weak and short branches, or cut off the lateral branches around the strong branches. Pruning should be carried out according to the strength of the branches.

Precautions for cultivation of cinnabar root

Cinnabar root is not cold-resistant and can only safely overwinter when the temperature is above 5℃. In winter, it can be moved to a windowsill with light in the morning and evening or to a sunny room. Control watering. When the temperature is high at noon, spray water around it and on the leaves. The indoor temperature can be between 5-10℃, and it should be properly ventilated.
