Cultivation methods and precautions of Queen's Flower Hat

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: The Queen's Flower Hat will grow better with sandy soil. Just mix sand and peat soil and add a little leaf mold. The soil should have good nutrients and drainage, and for sandy soil, try to choose coarser sand.

2. Watering: It requires very little water, even during the growing season, once a week is enough. In winter, watering twice throughout the winter is enough. When the air is dry, spray water around the flower pot to keep it moist.

3. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its growth is 18-25℃. It should be noted that if the temperature exceeds 35℃ in summer, it will stop growing. Therefore, when the temperature is high in summer, it is best to move the plants to a cooler place for breeding.

4. Light: It has a relatively large demand for light, so when breeding it, try to let it receive enough light. If there is a lack of light, the color will fade, which is very ugly.

1. Reproduction: Cutting propagation is easier. Cut leaves of better quality, dry them for 1-2 days, and then place them on the soil surface. Try to spray water to keep the soil moist, and it will take root soon. After the new shoots grow slowly, you can plant them.

2. Repotting: Queen's Hat generally does not need to be repotted. If it grows up and the space in the old pot is not suitable for its growth, you can change to a larger pot for cultivation. Be careful with the roots when repotting. After drying it for a day, you can put it back in the pot.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Shriveled: If the leaves at the base of the plant are shriveled, it is normal and does not require excessive treatment. If too many leaves are shriveled, it may be caused by lack of water and light. You need to replenish water in time and move the plant to a well-lit location for maintenance.

2. Black rot: It is mostly caused by "Fusarium oxysporum". If it is discovered early, remove the diseased leaves or cut off the diseased parts, don't feel sorry. Black rot develops very quickly. If you are reluctant to drop a few leaves, the entire bead will be affected. Just spray antibacterial agents on the plant and place it in a ventilated place for cultivation.
