How to grow false forsythia

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its development is between 22 and 28 degrees. It is not resistant to high or low temperatures. The safe temperature for wintering is 5 degrees.

2. Watering: It likes moisture very much and needs to keep the soil moist at 50% to 70% for a long time. It needs to be watered in the morning and evening in summer, and watering needs to be controlled in the rainy season. Do a good job of drainage to avoid the roots being soaked in water for a long time. The roots are not tolerant to waterlogging, and long-term soaking in water will easily cause root rot.

3. Fertilization: Because it can bloom and bear fruit all year round, the consumption of nutrients is continuous. The nutrients in the soil alone are far from enough. It is necessary to fertilize every 15 days or so. Fertilizers should mainly be nitrogen-containing fertilizers. This can promote the development of branches and make the roots grow thicker. When flower buds appear on the plant, it is necessary to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers and increase the use of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. The purpose is to promote flowering of the plant. After autumn, use compound fertilizers once every half a month to supplement it with nutrients in all aspects.

4. Light: During the growing period, it should be given as much light as possible. The more light it gets, the brighter the colors of the patterns on the branches and leaves will become, and the more ornamental it will be. If there is insufficient light, the color of its branches and leaves will fade, affecting its ornamental value.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The layering method can be used to propagate Forsythia suspensa. Because it has many drooping branches, you can press the drooping branches of the mother plant into the soil after the beginning of spring every year, cut the places where they touch the soil with a knife, and then cover them with fine soil. Seedlings can grow in the cut places. In the early spring of the following year, isolate the new plants and replant and cultivate the mother plant.

2. Pruning: You can prune it once when repotting in spring, and you can prune it when it grows unevenly during the growth period. It grows very fast and is very resistant to pruning, so when it has dead branches and leaves, you can prune it boldly without causing damage to it.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: Its antibodies are relatively strong and it is generally not infected by diseases and pests. If pests are found, do not use pesticides first, just use ash water.

2. Repotting: Repotting can be done once every spring. When repotting, try to choose soil with good drainage and high looseness.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic. Not only is it non-toxic, it is also the raw material for making heat-clearing and blood-activating medicines.

2. Can it be grown indoors: It can be grown indoors, but its fruit has an abortion effect. If there are pregnant women at home, avoid accidental ingestion.
