1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: As can be seen from its place of origin, it has relatively high requirements for temperature. Generally speaking, between twenty-five and thirty degrees is most suitable. In winter, if you want to ensure its safety, the temperature cannot be lower than twelve degrees, otherwise its leaves may droop and fall off. It is best to keep it at around eighteen degrees. 2. Light: Dogtail Red likes an environment with sufficient sunlight. If it is too dark, it will affect its flowering and make its appearance and plant shape ugly. Therefore, try to keep it in an environment with plenty of diffuse light, generally speaking as long as it is not direct light. In addition, in order to ensure that it survives the winter safely, it should not be too dark in winter. 3. Watering: Dogtail Red likes moisture, so it is very important to replenish sufficient water in time, especially during the flowering period. But try to avoid water accumulation, and drain it out in time after being hit by rain. 4. Fertilization: Dogtail Red does not require much fertilizer and only needs to be used in spring and autumn, once a month. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by cuttings. It is more suitable in spring, which can easily promote its rooting. Choose one-year-old, strong branches as cutting materials, preferably about ten centimeters in length. Keep the top few leaves and cut off the rest. In addition, sand and vermiculite are used as the substrate. After insertion, the temperature needs to be between 25 and 28 degrees. After about twenty to thirty days, it will take root. 2. Pruning: In spring, it is best to pinch the tops of the plants several times so that there will be more flowers. In addition, you should also pay attention to cutting off some dry branches and yellow leaves, which will be more beneficial to its health. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Diseases: In summer, autumn and fall, diseases are more common, such as "anthracnose" and "leaf blight". The first task is to cut off the leaves with symptoms, and then spray the pesticides. 2. Pests: The two main types are "red spiders" and "aphids", which can be controlled by using pesticides such as omethoate. IV. Other issues1. Toxicity: It does not contain toxins, and it is also a very effective medicinal material. 2. Can it be grown at home? Yes, its potted plants have a very good effect for ornamental purposes. |
