How to raise fairy cups

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The plant is not very resistant to high temperatures. If the temperature in summer exceeds 35 degrees, the plant will stop growing and begin to hibernate. At the same time, if the temperature in winter is below zero degrees, it is likely to get frostbite.

2. Watering: Relatively moist soil is needed, and it only needs to be watered once every two days. In summer, in addition to normal watering, a sprinkler can be used to replenish the moisture needed by the branches and leaves, which can also play a role in cooling down. Watering needs to be stopped in winter. Watering during dormancy will cause root damage to the plant.

3. Light: Sufficient sunlight is required for normal growth. In spring, it can be allowed to receive full sunlight, which can make its color more kind. However, in summer, be careful not to be exposed to strong light, and provide appropriate shade.

4. Fertilization: Fertilization cannot be done in summer and winter. The best time to fertilize is in spring and autumn. Mainly apply potassium fertilizer. Watering is required in time after fertilization. Also, pay attention to applying small amounts frequently.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Generally, sowing can be used for large-scale planting, and a warm environment must be provided. After sowing, water must be poured thoroughly, and it cannot be half dry. After germination, it can be transplanted. Cuttings are to directly cut the branches and leaves of the plant and then insert them into the soil, but you must pay attention to watering and light afterwards.

2. Pruning: During the growth process, diseased branches and leaves may appear, and some branches and leaves may become damaged, so they need to be pruned in time to ensure its normal growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Leaf spot disease often occurs, which can cause the branches and leaves of the plant to wither, or even die directly. Carbendazim solution can be used for control and prevention.

2. Pests: Nematodes will appear during the growth process, and pesticides can be used when repotting.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: The whole plant is non-toxic and can be cultivated.

2. Can it be raised at home? Of course it can. It is a succulent plant, so it is quite ornamental and it is best to raise it at home.
