How to grow coral beans

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: For potted plants, you can choose sandy loam that has good drainage, is fertile and loose, and contains more organic matter. Before potting, you can add chicken and duck manure or cake fertilizer as base fertilizer to facilitate its growth.

2. Light management: It likes an environment with sufficient light and is best planted in a sunny position. It should be given sunlight as much as possible. During the high temperatures in summer, it is best to place it in a bright and well-ventilated environment for maintenance.

3. Water management: It is not drought-tolerant and is afraid of waterlogging. Normally, water it appropriately to keep the soil moist. Too dry or too wet soil is not conducive to its growth. If the soil in the pot is dry and wet during its flowering period, it will easily lead to it only blooming and not bearing fruit. Pay attention to drainage at ordinary times and avoid water accumulation in the pot.

4. Temperature management: It likes warmth and can grow well under temperatures of 18℃-25℃. The room temperature should be kept above 5℃ in winter to help it survive the winter safely.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction method: Its main reproduction method is sowing. The sowing method can be used in pots indoors. Under the temperature conditions of 10℃-15℃, the seeds will germinate and grow into new plants. For young plants, you should take warm and cold-proof measures to help them safely overwinter.

2. Flower-promoting method: When the plant grows to about ten centimeters in height, you can pinch the top one or two times, which can effectively inhibit the excessive growth of the main shoot and the consumption of nutrients. At the same time, you should try to keep the room temperature relatively high, strengthen water and fertilizer management, and promote the growth of branches and flowering and fruiting.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Root rot: The potted plant is limited by the container. Once the water is not properly controlled, it is easy to be overwatered and cause root rot of the plant. Therefore, when cultivating, you must choose a flower pot of appropriate size. At the same time, pay attention to water and fertilizer management. Neither water nor fertilizer should be too much to avoid root rot caused by overwatering or fertilizer damage.

2. Pests: Its main pests are aphids. Once found, you should use pesticides to spray them according to the instructions.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: Although the root of the plant can be used as medicine, it itself is poisonous. Do not use the plant directly to treat diseases. You should follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication. Be careful not to let children or pets eat it by mistake.

2. Meaning: It has a very optimistic and beautiful flower language, which means tomorrow will be happy. People are keen on appreciating its bright red fruits in autumn and winter, and call them "auspicious fruits".
