How to grow Potentilla fruticosa

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Its temperature requirements can be roughly inferred from its distribution range. It prefers a cooler environment, preferably between 15 and 20 degrees. In addition, it has a very strong resistance to cold and can even withstand temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is also widely distributed in the northern regions.

2. Light: It does not require too much sunlight, but it cannot be completely without it. It also cannot be placed in a place that is too dark. Generally speaking, in spring and autumn, it is placed in a place with slightly scattered light to allow it to photosynthesize better. In winter, no shade is needed. In the summer when the sunlight is strong, the degree of shading can be around 50 to 80 percent.

3. Watering: Potentilla fruticosa likes moisture, so the soil needs to be kept slightly moist. However, stagnant water also has adverse effects. Attention should also be paid to humidity, which should be between 75% and 85%. Especially during breeding, the humidity requirement is very high.

4. Fertilization: Fructus Aurantii Immaturus requires little fertilizer, it can be applied once a month or every two months, using either organic fertilizer or liquid fertilizer.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The most common method is cutting. In late spring, it can be done with branches grown that year. However, if you are propagating in early spring, you need to use older branches. The substrate can be prepared with peat soil and river sand and disinfected. When choosing branches, it is best to have three nodes on them and the length should be five to fifteen centimeters. After cuttings, it is better to keep the temperature above 20 degrees and block some sunlight.

2. Repotting: It has a strong ability to tolerate barrenness, so when choosing new soil, the main consideration is whether the permeability and drainage are good. You can also use peat soil and river sand, about once every two years.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: There may be "powdery mildew", which not only seriously affects the leaves but also the flowers. You can use carbendazim to treat this disease, and you must also properly dispose of the surrounding debris.

2. Pests: There are "aphids" and "red spiders", etc., which can be controlled by using omethoate. At the same time, ventilation is required.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It does not contain any toxins itself, and some people even use its leaves to make tea.

2. Can it be raised at home: It can be used for viewing and can be placed at home.
