How to raise Royal Yellow

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Yuyihuang likes warmth. Generally speaking, a temperature between 20 and 30 degrees is more suitable. In winter, the temperature needs to be controlled between 12 and 15 degrees, which is more favorable, and the lowest should not be lower than 8 degrees to prevent it from being frozen.

2. Light: Royal Yellow is a strong sun-loving plant, which means it has high requirements for sunlight. Generally speaking, it needs to be provided with no less than eight hours of light a day for it to grow normally and bloom. Otherwise, its flowers will fall off easily. Starting in May, it is best to move it outdoors to receive good sunlight.

3. Watering: It is a moisture-loving plant. During the growth stage, it needs a lot of water, and you need to replenish it with sufficient water, but don't let water accumulate. Generally speaking, in summer, you need to water it once a day. During the hottest times, it can be twice a day. In winter, you can't water too much, especially when it is very cold.

4. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer, which should be applied once a week to ten days. Liquid fertilizer with low concentration can be used.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: A commonly used method is cutting. May to October is the best time to do this. If you want to breed in winter, it is possible, but it must be done in a greenhouse. Choose semi-woody branches of the current year as cuttings, about ten centimeters in length. After cutting off the lower leaves, plant the cuttings in the sand bed. After insertion, humidity must be guaranteed and the temperature should be between 18 and 21 degrees. After about twenty to twenty-five days, roots will take shape.

2. Pruning: It is best to prune in early spring. Just leave two or three buds at the base and cut off the rest on the upper part. This way, more side branches will sprout and more flowers will bloom later. In addition, its shape can also be trimmed.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There are not many diseases of royal yellow, but there may be "powdery mildew" and "leaf blight", which can be prevented and controlled with carbendazim and other drugs, and fallen leaves and flowers should be properly handled.

2. Pests: Common types include scale insects, etc., which can be controlled by spraying pesticides in time.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and does not emit harmful gases. It is a harmless plant.

2. Can it be grown at home? Generally speaking, due to its relatively high height, it is often used in gardens and not grown as a potted plant at home.
