The breeding method of the ten merits

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: 20 to 28 degrees is more suitable. In addition, it has strong cold resistance, so there is no need to keep warm in most areas in winter. However, it is not heat-resistant, so care needs to be taken to control it in the summer.

2. Light: Mahonia is a shade-loving plant and does not require much sunlight. During the growth period, a little diffuse light is enough and it can be placed in semi-shade. In seasons with very strong sunlight, it needs to be placed in a cool place with a shading degree of about 70%. In winter, there is no need for shade.

3. Watering: It likes good harvest and moisture. When the growth rate is relatively fast, the substrate must be kept slightly moist. However, stagnant water is also not good. When there is a lot of stagnant water, it needs to be drained out in time. It also needs to be kept slightly drier in winter.

4. Fertilization: The Euonymus japonicus does not require much fertilizer, and it can be applied once every 20 days or so. Decomposed liquid fertilizer can be used. In addition, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once before entering winter, and no fertilizer is needed throughout the winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the cutting method, but this method is only suitable for small-scale reproduction. It can be carried out from February to March and from May to June. You can use one-year-old or two-year-old strong branches about 15 cm in length, slightly trim them and then use them for cuttings. The insertion depth is about two-thirds of the total length. After planting, it needs to be sprayed every day, and if it is propagated around May, it needs to be shaded. After about two months, it will take root.

2. Pruning: The branches and leaves of the Euonymus grow fast, so they must be pruned in time. All dry, dense and aging ones need to be repaired. Furthermore, if you want to use it for viewing, you have to fix its shape.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: It has a strong ability to resist diseases and is not prone to diseases. Occasionally, there is "anthracnose", which can be prevented and treated with pesticides specifically for this disease.

2. Pests: The incidence of pests is higher than that of diseases. There are also many types, such as "aphids", "leaf armyworms", "moss moths", etc., which can be controlled with DDT, chlorpyrifos, etc.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is not toxic in itself. It is also a medicinal herb, and the whole plant can be used as medicine.

2. Can it be kept at home: It can be kept at home and has strong purification ability.
