Cultivation methods and precautions of variegated ball orchid

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its growth is 18-24℃. It likes a warm growing environment and can withstand a certain degree of high temperature. It can grow better at temperatures above 20℃. It is not cold-resistant, so pay attention to keep warm in winter.

2. Sunlight: It prefers a semi-shaded growing environment. Try not to let it be exposed to direct sunlight during daily cultivation. More than 3 hours of sunlight a day is enough, and it can be grown in the corner of the balcony.

3. Soil: It prefers loose, well-drained soil, preferably sandy soil. When preparing the soil, a mixture of garden soil and coarse sand is a good choice. In order to provide it with sufficient nutrients for growth, you can also add a small amount of leaf mold to the soil.

4. Water: From the moment it enters the growth period, you must provide it with sufficient water and try to keep the soil moist. Do not water it directly with tap water. It is best to dry it in the sun for two days.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The simplest method is layering propagation. Layering propagation is to choose a relatively strong branch, and then press the part close to the top into the soil, keep the soil moist, and then cut it off for transplanting after it takes root.

2. Repotting: The variegated Hoya can be repotted all year round, but it is best to do it in the summer. The suitable temperature can allow it to adapt to the new growing environment more quickly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Leaf spot disease: Leaf spot disease is prone to occur when the temperature is high, which provides convenient conditions for the breeding of many pathogens. When it is discovered, it is necessary to spray it with carbendazim in time. Persistent spraying will be effective.

2. Scale insects: Scale insects are pests that cause great harm to plants. When found, you can manually remove the insects. If you do not want to spray pesticides, you can cover the plants with gauze.

IV. Other issues

1. Is it poisonous? Many people think that the flower fragrance of the variegated Hoya is very strong and may be poisonous. In fact, it is not toxic at all. Not only that, it also has high medicinal value.

2. Can it be grown indoors: Variegated Hoya can be grown indoors. It does not require very much sunlight, so there is no problem in growing it indoors. It is also not toxic, so there is no danger in growing it normally.
