1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: The cold resistance of the chickweed is very strong, so it is most suitable for cultivation in the north. In winter, it can grow in an environment of minus 35 degrees without being affected, so it can spend the winter outdoors. At the same time, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 5 and 25 degrees. You can pay appropriate attention to the high temperature in summer, not too high, a warm environment will be enough. 2. Watering: Thousand Birds prefer dryness, so the soil should not be too moist, otherwise the plant will wither and turn yellow. Water it thoroughly each time, and wait until the soil becomes dry again before watering again to ensure normal absorption. Watering can be restrained in winter. 3. Light: Just ensure normal and warm light. It has a certain shade-tolerance property, but it cannot be kept in this growth environment for a long time, especially during the flowering period, otherwise both flowering and growth will be poor. Be careful about the strong light in summer and place it in a relatively hidden place. 4. Fertilization: Fertilization is indispensable in the entire growth process. Regular fertilization can make it grow more vigorously. However, fertilizer should be applied frequently and in small amounts, and the fertilizer should not be concentrated, otherwise it will burn the roots of the plant and sometimes fertilizer damage may occur. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: There are two main methods of reproduction: sowing and branching. The branching method is relatively simple and has strong adaptability.

The suitable temperature for seed germination is around 20 degrees, and they will germinate at most 20 days after sowing. 2. Pruning: The branches and leaves of the houndstooth plant are very thin, so they cannot be pruned too heavily, otherwise it will lose its ornamental value. You only need to observe its growth conditions and cut off some old and yellow branches and leaves, but generally no pruning is required. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Diseases: Diseases rarely occur in Thousand Birds Flower because it likes coolness and some bacteria are difficult to breed. However, if too much fertilizer is applied, fertilizer damage will occur, so you should pay appropriate attention to it. 2.
