The breeding methods and precautions of Chinese giant thorn

1. Soil

It is best to use well-drained, fertile and loose soil for growing Chinese pearls, and a mixture of peat soil and coarse sand can be used.

2. Lighting

When growing Clerodendrum thomsoniae, it must be exposed to sufficient sunlight, but when the sun is strong in summer, it is necessary to provide appropriate shade, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow. In addition, when there is not enough sunlight, the flowering will be slower, so it is best to place it in direct sunlight.

3. Watering

During the growing season, the Clerodendrum thomsoniae must be kept moist at all times, but do not water it excessively. Too much water will cause the leaves to turn yellow or even the roots to rot. When the temperature is too high, you can add more water, but pay attention to shade. When the temperature is lower in winter, you can reduce watering appropriately.

4. Fertilization

You don't need to fertilize it too frequently, and the amount should not be too much. You can fertilize it every 7-10 days when it is flowering. If it turns yellow during cultivation, you can apply appropriate top dressing.

5. Notes

Pruning: The Clerodendrum thomsoniae needs to be pruned in time, which can not only make it grow better, but also make it more beautiful. During the growth period, the height of the divisions should be controlled to keep them neat.

Pest and disease control: Pests and diseases are very likely to occur during its growth process, generally scale insects, whiteflies, etc. At this time, you can spray it with 1,000 times of 40% omethoate solution.
