How to grow dogtooth flower

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is resistant to high temperatures but not cold. The maintenance temperature must be kept above 15 degrees. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, the plant will stop growing. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, it will be frostbitten. When the branches and leaves of the plant wither, it means that the plant is frozen and needs to be moved to a warm place for maintenance.

2. Watering: It likes a humid environment, so it needs to ensure sufficient water. Generally, it needs to be watered every day. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, it needs to be watered in the morning and evening. The amount of watering each time does not need to be too much, just make the soil completely wet.

3. Fertilization: It grows very fast and consumes a lot of nutrients, so it needs to be fertilized every month. Each time you fertilize, you cannot apply it directly on the roots. You should apply the fertilizer five centimeters away from the roots to avoid burning the roots.

4. Light: It likes light and can be maintained directly outdoors without shading. If it is maintained indoors, the time exposed to sunlight must not be less than six hours a day, especially in autumn and winter. More attention must be paid to ensure sufficient light so that the plant will grow better and better.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by cuttings. The time is not fixed and depends on the local climate. It can be propagated all year round in the greenhouse. If it is outdoors, it is best to choose June and July when the temperature is relatively stable. Choose strong one-year-old branches, cut them into a length of eight to twelve centimeters, and then insert them into vermiculite. They will start to grow roots in about two weeks.

2. Repotting: It has a relatively large demand for nutrients, so it needs to be repotted frequently to maintain nutrients. Generally, the plant needs to be repotted once every one to two years. Each time you repot, you need to add bone meal to the soil to increase nutrition.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is more susceptible to infection by aphids. If you find any, you should start dealing with aphids when the plants are overwintering, because aphids are at their weakest at this time and are easy to eliminate. If you wait until spring and summer to eliminate them, the aphids will have grown into adults and the effect will not be great.

2. Yellowing of branches and leaves: The yellowing of branches and leaves is mostly caused by insufficient sunlight. This problem can be solved by slowly increasing the amount of light.

IV. Other issues

1. Edible: It cannot be eaten directly, but it can be used for medicinal purposes.

2. Flower language: Its flower language is purity and kindness.
