Spring grass cultivation methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Spring grass does not like high temperatures, warmth is most suitable. Generally speaking, it can be between fifteen and twenty-five degrees. In winter, the lowest wintering temperature is zero degrees. However, the plants will grow in winter, so the temperature is best regulated, preferably between ten and twenty degrees. It goes dormant during the hot summer months.

2. Light: Spring grass has high requirements for light, but too strong light will cause harm to it. Generally speaking, starting from April, it needs to be shaded to avoid strong light. However, it cannot be too shady and there must be appropriate diffuse light.

3. Watering: Spring grass has good drought resistance, but it is afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, the soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist, but no water should accumulate. When it rains a lot, we still need to prevent rain and drain water.

4. Fertilization: Since the habits of spring grass are somewhat different from other plants, it grows vigorously from October to April of the following year, so it needs fertilizer during this stage. However, it doesn't need to be too much, once a month is enough.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. The method is relatively simple to operate and has a high chance of success. Directly select the healthier and more vigorous bulbs and cut off the small bulbs growing nearby. Then, prepare a good quality substrate and then plant it.

2. Repotting: Generally speaking, repotting should be done once a year, and it is best to do so in late August. You need to choose fertile, well-drained and breathable soil. For example, you can use leaf mold, peat soil, vermiculite, and sand in a ratio of three to three to two to two. Then, you can also add an appropriate amount of bone meal. When repotting, you can also cut off the rotten roots. After repotting, water thoroughly.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Anthracnose may occur occasionally. The diseased parts should be cut off in time, and then chlorothalonil should be used. Compared with pests and diseases, there are relatively few.

2. Pests: Pests such as "snails" and "nematodes" often appear and will harm the bulbs. When planting, the substrate needs to be disinfected in advance. You can use "Furadan" and other insecticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It has certain toxicity, but it will not cause any harm as long as you don’t eat it.

2. Can it be grown at home?: It is an ornamental plant and can be grown at home. Just be careful not to ingest it by mistake.
