Breeding methods and precautions of lion's tail

Breeding methods and precautions of lion's tail

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Lion's tail does not have high requirements for soil, generally loose and water-conserving sandy loam can be used. Before planting in potted plants, put some tiles at the bottom of the pot. This will facilitate drainage and ventilation and is of great benefit to its growth.

2. Water: It grows relatively fast and requires a lot of water. It likes moisture and does not like dryness. When watering, water it when the soil layer is dry. If it absorbs enough water, the branches and leaves will increase and there will be more flowers.

3. Nutrients: Generally, cake fertilizer can be used, and it is better to apply fertilizer once every fifteen days or so. The amount of fertilizer does not need to be large, as too much will cause burns to the roots, branches and leaves.

4. Light: After planting, it is necessary to provide shade in time and it is suitable for diffuse light exposure. Because it is a short-day plant, it cannot be exposed to strong light for a long time.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: When there are old and dry stems and leaves on the branches, they should be pruned off in time. The pruned stems and leaves should be buried in time to prevent diseases and pests on them from affecting the growth of other stems and leaves.

2. Reproduction: Generally, cutting propagation is used. Select strong stems and leaves, cut them into loose and nutritious soil, sprinkle water to keep it moist, and it will take root and sprout in about three days.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Yellow leaves: When the branches and leaves of the lion's tail plant turn yellow, it is necessary to water it with some fertilizer in time, and also to loosen the soil and weed. At the same time, cut off the branches and leaves that have turned yellow, and the situation will improve in about three or four days.

2. Root rot: Lion's tail is afraid of stagnant water. Too much water will cause root rot. When watering, it is necessary to drain water in time, especially in the rainy season, to avoid root rot.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: Because the lion's tail likes a mild environment, so when winter comes, you need to provide it with a warm environment, and the temperature is generally controlled at around ten degrees Celsius.

2. Is it poisonous? Lion's tail is poisonous and should be placed in a relatively high place when breeding. In addition, you should also be careful to avoid accidental ingestion and take good care of your babies and pets at home.
