Cultivation methods and precautions of red calla lily

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: When planting red calla lilies in the open field, you should choose fertile soil with good water retention properties. It is usually planted in the open field or in pots, and it will bloom about 3 months after potting.

2. Water: Red Calla Lily likes water and will grow better in an environment with moist soil and high air humidity. During its growth period, it is necessary to spray water from time to time to facilitate the growth of leaves.

3. Nutrients: It blooms a lot and is tolerant to fertilizer. Generally, chicken, duck, pig manure and human manure can be used. When fertilizing, do not apply fertilizer at the roots. Applying fertilizer at the roots will burn the roots and affect its growth.

4. Light and temperature: Red Calla Lily is not cold-resistant and prefers a warm and well-lit environment. A place with good light is more conducive to its growth.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: When it is growing strong, the stems and leaves will become dense. At this time, the old leaves on the outside should be peeled off in time to prevent the old leaves from absorbing too much nutrients and affecting the nutrient absorption and light of the new leaves. After pruning, the internal branches will be neat and the ventilation will be improved, which can increase the amount of flowering. The pruned old leaves should be buried in time to prevent diseases and pests in the old leaves from affecting the new leaves.

2. Reproduction: Division and sowing are commonly used for propagation. From after flowering to mid-September, the small tubers around the mother plant are dug up and planted separately. Sowing, sowing in pots indoors, germination 15-20 days after sowing, seedlings need 3-4 years to bloom.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Rot disease: Rot disease is a common disease. At this time, you should first trim off the rotten stems and leaves, and then spray the stems and leaves with antibacterial agents and water for prevention and control.

2. Pests: Red spider mites are common pests of red calla lilies. After the insects are infested, you can use ethyl chlorpyrifos mixed with water to spray and kill them.

IV. Other issues

1. How to survive the winter: When growing in winter, the temperature should not be lower than 15°C. The soil should be kept moist, and water should be sprayed frequently to maintain a high air humidity. This is more conducive to leaf growth.
