How to grow purple moon well

1. Breeding methods

1. Temperature: The environment for raising it should not be too hot or too cold. Because it is not cold-resistant or frost-resistant, the breeding temperature is best controlled between 18 and 25 degrees. The temperature for wintering should not be lower than 10 degrees.

2. Light: It likes a warm environment and has a relatively large demand for light, but it is not resistant to sunlight, so it is best to take protective measures when the sunlight is too strong. The sunlight is relatively mild in spring and autumn, and it can receive sunlight all day long. It can receive normal sunlight in the morning and afternoon in summer. It needs to be moved to a cool place for maintenance at noon. If the temperature is too high, it needs to be sprayed with water mist around it to cool it down.

3. Watering: To replenish water, use the method of watering it thoroughly when it is dry. That is to say, you need to observe the state of the soil first. You can only water it when the soil is completely dry. It is not necessary in other situations. Just replenish the soil to make it completely wet. The amount of water needs to be controlled well, and there should be no water accumulation in the soil.

4. Fertilization: Its growth rate is relatively fast, and the nutrients in the soil will be exhausted sooner or later, so it needs to be supplemented with nutrients on time. Generally, it is fertilized once a month. You can use special fertilizers for succulents, or you can use homemade farm manure, as long as you don’t use fertilizers with strong effects.

2. Breeding Technology

1. Pruning: As mentioned above, it grows relatively fast, and it is inevitable that the old leaves will dry up and the new leaves will be too lush. In order to concentrate nutrients and avoid unnecessary nutrient loss, you can process it appropriately. The vitality of Purple Moon is very tenacious, so there is no need to worry about damaging it, just operate normally.

2. Repotting: Purple Moonflower needs to be repotted. Because its roots grow quickly, its growth will be restricted if it is not repotted. Repotting is usually done in spring. When repotting, add base fertilizer to the soil to ensure the nutrient supply of the plant. After changing it, place it in a cool place for a few days, and then you can cultivate it normally.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: If there are insects on the branches and leaves of the plant, you need to spray them with insecticides. Commonly used insecticides are DDT and carbendazim. You can also use special insecticides for succulents.

2. Disease: If the branches and leaves of the plant turn yellow and the branches become soft and limp, it is probably because of soil accumulation in the pot. At this time, you need to dig it out of the pot, cut off the bad roots, disinfect the incision and then replant it in the soil.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and can be planted with confidence.

2. Is it suitable for home cultivation: It can be planted at home, but during the cultivation process, attention should be paid to the regulation of light to meet its needs.
