How to raise blue butterflies

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: A warm environment is most suitable, in which it grows the fastest. Generally, the temperature should be controlled between 23 and 32 degrees. As long as the temperature is not higher than 35 degrees in summer, there will be no impact. In winter, you can place it in a sheltered place so that it can safely overwinter.

2. Watering: The soil of the blue butterfly should be kept moist during its growth period. Moist soil can enable it to grow well and its growth rate will also increase. Especially in summer, you should pay more attention to watering. In hot weather, you need to replenish water by spraying water mist, which can also lower the temperature, achieving the best of both worlds.

3. Light: In summer, you need to pay attention to shade and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the newly opened flowers will wither and the phenomenon of premature falling of flowers will occur. The blue butterfly likes warm and sufficient light, and warm sunlight is best for its growth.

4. Fertilization: Fertilizer soil is conducive to development, so some base fertilizer needs to be applied before planting, and fertilizer should be applied several times during the subsequent breeding period. In the summer, you can apply urea as a topdressing fertilizer to promote growth rate. In the autumn, you can switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, so that its growth will be very healthy.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Cutting is the main method of reproduction, which can be carried out at any time between spring and autumn, but the germination is fastest in late spring and early summer. Choose 15-centimeter branches for cuttings. After cutting, control the temperature and watering. Wait for germination before transplanting.

2. Pruning: Pruning is needed once in early summer, mainly to cut off some useless side branches and some dead branches and leaves, increase the ventilation of the plant, and help it grow into a more perfect plant shape.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Root rot occurs because the roots of the plants are not sufficiently ventilated and watered too much in summer. Wettable powder can be used to control it.

2. Pests: Aphids will appear. This pest has the greatest impact on flowering and can be controlled by spraying a dipterex solution.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Although it has been used to make tea, its stems are actually poisonous. Therefore, you must choose flower buds when making tea, and the amount you drink each time should not be too much.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, it has a unique appearance and high ornamental value, making it suitable for breeding.
