How to keep swell coral

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is not very cold-resistant, so under normal circumstances the temperature needs to be kept at around 25 degrees. If the temperature is below five degrees in winter, it is easy to die, so the winter warming work must be done well, otherwise it will affect the growth in the next year.

2. Watering: It is very drought-resistant because it is also a kind of succulent. There should be no accumulation of water when watering. If the soil is too moist, the roots of the plant will rot, seriously affecting its normal growth and even causing it to wither and die. In summer, you can spray a little water on the surface of the plant, which can also replenish moisture well.

3. Light: Light is a necessary condition for its normal growth. Light will determine its growth conditions. At the same time, if there is sufficient light, the plant will grow healthier. However, strong light in summer needs to be avoided and it needs to be shaded.

4. Fertilization: Fertilize twice, in spring and autumn. It does not need a lot of fertilizer, just a thin fertilizer will do. In winter, you need to stop fertilizing.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing and cuttings are two important methods. Sowing is done from March to April every year. After sowing, you just need to sprinkle a layer of soil, then water it thoroughly and wrap it with plastic wrap. Cuttings are generally carried out in spring and autumn. The cuttings need to be dried in a cool and ventilated place before the wounds are cut. The temperature needs to be kept at around 18 to 28 degrees.

2. Pruning: Cut off the overgrown branches and leaves, and at the same time cut off some branches that are not growing well to maintain normal growth.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Root rot will occur, which can be controlled by spraying carbendazim solution. This disease is mainly caused by excessive watering.

2. Pests: Red spider mites may appear, so you can spray a dichlorvos solution.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Its juice is poisonous, so be careful.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, but you need to be careful not to eat it accidentally and keep it out of children’s reach.
