How to grow Clerodendrum thomsoniae in autumn

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: It likes sandy loam that is breathable, soft and can retain water.

2. Light: It likes a mild and humid growing environment, but does not like sunlight. It needs proper shading in summer. The comfortable growing temperature is 18℃-24℃, 18℃-30℃ from February to October, and 13℃-16℃ from October to February of the following year.

3. Watering: It is recommended to water thoroughly once when just planting, and control the amount of water during daily maintenance. Do not water too much, otherwise the roots will rot.

4. Fertilization: Apply thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer every 7-10 days during the growth period. Do not give too much fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will grow well but no flowers will bloom.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Cuttings: Select relatively strong branches from the mother plant, disinfect the wounds, place them in a cool place to dry, and then cut the leaves into the loam and water them appropriately until they take root and then you can cultivate them normally.

2. Sowing: It is usually carried out in March and April. After planting, place it in a cool and ventilated place, keep the temperature around 24℃, and it will germinate in about 10 days.

3. Pest and disease prevention

1. Gray mold: In the early stage of the disease, water-stained spots appear on the leaves. When the disease becomes serious, the leaves will turn black and brown and rot. At this time, the diseased leaves should be destroyed to prevent infection, and indoor ventilation should be increased.

2. Leaf beetles: Leaf beetles are common in tropical areas. They will chew on leaves and destroy their effects. At this time, you can capture them manually or spray pesticides.
