How to cultivate brocade flower

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The hydrangea is a thermophilic plant. It is not very resistant to cold or high temperatures. If the temperature in summer exceeds 30 degrees, its growth will slow down and its branches and leaves will become dehydrated. The temperature in winter cannot be lower than zero degrees, otherwise it will be frostbitten and will not be able to grow normally the next year.

2. Watering: After planting, you need to water it thoroughly at one time to ensure the survival rate. In the subsequent growth process, you must also provide enough water, but there should be no accumulation of water. And it should be noted that you should wait until the soil becomes dry before watering. Therefore, you must insist on watering it thoroughly when it is dry, and do not disrupt the normal absorption pattern.

3. Light: If you want it to bloom normally, you must ensure sufficient warm light. Therefore, if you grow it outdoors, you need to plant it in a desired place. A hidden environment will not allow it to bloom normally, and its ornamental value will be completely lost. If you grow it indoors, it is best not to place it on the balcony in summer. It can receive light normally in other seasons.

4. Fertilization: Apply sufficient base fertilizer when planting. Applying enough fertilizer can promote the growth rate of seedlings. It can be applied once every two months during the subsequent breeding process. You can reduce the amount of fertilizer in winter. When fertilizing crops at home, you can dilute the solid fertilizer before applying it.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Division is the main method of reproduction. This method is the simplest and most commonly used. During its dormant period, pick some small plants around the mother plant and then replant them. It will bloom after about two years.

2. Pruning: There is no need to prune it much, because if it is planted in a garden, there will be sufficient ventilation and no rotten branches and leaves will appear. So if it is planted at home, the branches and leaves may turn yellow and need to be cut off.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Charcoal blast will occur, and spots of varying sizes will appear on the branches and leaves. These diseased branches can be cut off, and sufficient ventilation needs to be maintained.

2. Pests: The fall armyworm will appear and bite holes in the normal leaves. You can spray the panacea to control it.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is poisonous. Although it has always been used as medicine, it cannot be used indiscriminately. You need to follow your doctor's orders.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, it is very ornamental and can improve one’s mood.
