How to cultivate Fritillaria

How to cultivate Fritillaria

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Fritillaria likes warmth, and the temperature range suitable for its growth is relatively large. Between 15 and 30 degrees, it is more conducive to its growth. However, a too hot environment is not good for its growth, and it will not work if the temperature is higher than 35 degrees. In addition, the temperature also needs to be adjusted during the wintering period, not lower than five degrees.

2. Light: Fritillaria likes shade. It is very afraid of exposure to the sun. Generally speaking, if it is exposed to the sun for one or two days, its leaves will become burnt. Therefore, it is better to place it in a semi-shaded place when there is strong light. But if placed indoors, it would be more suitable.

3. Watering: Since Fritillaria has fleshy roots, its waterlogging resistance is very poor. During routine maintenance, be sure to avoid water accumulation. When the plant is growing vigorously, it can be watered thoroughly, but any stagnant water must be drained out.

4. Fertilization: Fritillaria has a relatively high demand for fertilizer. In addition to the base fertilizer in the pot, foliar fertilizer should be applied about once every ten days.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the division method. It can be done in spring and autumn. For a healthy plant, it can be divided once every three years or so. When separating, each cluster must have at least five pseudobulbs to ensure survival. After potting, water it thoroughly and then place it in a cool place. After about ten to fifteen days, they will slowly adapt to the environment and can be maintained normally.

2. Repotting: Try to change the pot once a year. The main requirement of Fritillaria for soil is drainage. Generally speaking, it is a better choice to choose leaf mold, and you can also add base fertilizer, coarse sand and other materials. When removing the plant from the pot, be careful not to damage the healthy roots of the plant.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: A common disease is called "white silk disease", which occurs more frequently during the rainy season. Lime can be used to prevent and control it, and at the same time, more ventilation and light are required. There is also "anthracnose", which can be treated with Bordeaux once every half a month.

2. Pests: The main one is "orchid lice". If the number is small, you can just brush it off manually, but if the number is large, you will need to spray pesticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is a non-toxic variety and has no harm.

2. Can it be raised at home? It has good ornamental value, so it is suitable to be kept at home.
