How to grow moonflower

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Its normal temperature is between 18 and 28 degrees. Both high and low temperatures will affect its normal growth. It cannot be outdoors in winter, and the temperature needs to be kept below 35 degrees in summer to prevent high temperature dehydration.

2. Watering: During the normal growth process, a humid environment needs to be maintained and it needs to be watered frequently, but be careful not to allow water to accumulate. Floods will cause the branches and leaves at the roots of the plant to rot.

3. Light: Its normal growth requires sufficient warm sunlight. Enough light can make it bloom normally, but strong light in summer needs to be avoided. Because after being exposed to strong light in summer, it will turn yellow and the color will be seriously affected. If the strong light in summer is too severe, the plant will wither directly.

4. Fertilization: It has a relatively large demand for nutrients, and it needs to be fertilized about every two to three weeks. However, you need to be careful not to apply too much each time. Just apply some thin fertilizer.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing is the main way to grow moonflower. Sowing can be cultivated on a large scale and the survival rate is relatively high. The time is March every year. After sowing, the soil needs to be kept moist and not too dry.

2. Pruning: It needs to be pruned during the growth period, mainly to cut off some dead flowers and diseased branches. At the same time, pruning side branches can promote the germination and growth of new branches, cut off the overgrown branches, and ensure the perfect plant shape.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Powdery mildew is the main disease. This disease usually causes the branches and leaves of the plant to wither. Sometimes it will form some white spots on the branches and leaves of the plant and then connect together and die directly. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the diseased branches in time, and pesticides are also needed to control it.

2. Pests: Aphids will appear, causing the plants to be unable to grow normally. You can spray some DDT solution to prevent and control them. Of course, you can also remove them manually.
