1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: It will grow relatively better in warm places. Generally speaking, it is between sixteen and twenty-two degrees. In addition, one thing to note is that its cold resistance is not very good, so try to keep the temperature above 12 degrees in winter. In addition, being too high is also disadvantageous. 2. Light: The large-flowered rhinoceros horn plant does not require much sunlight and can tolerate partial shade. During maintenance, astigmatism can meet its requirements. Try not to expose it to direct sunlight, as its leaves may dry out. Generally speaking, the shading degree in summer needs to be around 50%. Shade can be provided as appropriate in other seasons. 3. Watering: Rhinoceros horn is drought-resistant, but it is not water-resistant. Therefore, try to replenish water according to the method of "replenishing water when dry and replenishing water when wet". Do not allow water to accumulate, and pay attention to drainage when there is heavy rain, otherwise the roots will rot easily. 4. Fertilization: The large-flowered rhinoceros horn plant does not require too much fertilizer and can only be fertilized during the growth period. It can be once half a month or once every twenty days. You can use fertilizer water or solid compound fertilizer. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. It can also be sown, but if this method is used, the process of it blooming will be very long. Propagation by division can be carried out in early spring. The method is also relatively simple. Select a strong mother plant and prepare good quality soil. After separation, plant them in the soil and place them in a cool place for maintenance. 2. Repotting: Try to do it once a year, once every two years is also fine. The same can be done in early spring. Since it is very afraid of waterlogging, you need to pay attention to the drainage when preparing the soil. Generally speaking, sandy soil can be used with good results. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Diseases: The two main diseases are "stem rot" and "black spot", which are relatively common in summer and can be prevented in advance. 2. Pests: The main one is called "whitefly", which can be controlled by spraying pesticides about twice. IV. Other issues1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic, but it may have an unpleasant smell when it blooms, which is somewhat irritating to people's sense of smell. 2. Can it be kept at home: Yes. The shape of its flowers is very peculiar, and it is a relatively good ornamental flowering plant. But as mentioned above, it has a rather unpleasant smell. |
