What are the breeding methods of Mao Juan?

1. Potting soil

When breeding, you should use acidic soil, and it should not be too poor. You can use a mixture of fine sand, wood ash and leaf mold. Choose a flowerpot that is breathable and has good drainage. Add base fertilizer to the bottom before potting to supplement nutrients so that it can grow well later.

2. Temperature

It likes warmth and is suitable for growing in an environment of 15 to 28 degrees. It should be placed in semi-shade in summer and should not be exposed to high temperatures for a long time, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. However, it has a certain degree of cold resistance and can survive well in temperatures above minus 8 degrees Celsius, so it is very easy to maintain in winter.

3. Lighting

It likes light and can be placed in a place with good light in spring, autumn and winter. However, the sunlight is relatively strong in summer, so it should be moved to a place with scattered light to avoid sunburn of the leaves.

4. Watering

It depends on the growth conditions. Spring is the peak growth season, so you need to water more to keep it moist. The temperature is high in summer, so you should water the plants every day, and sprinkle more water to increase the humidity. Reduce the amount of water when the temperature drops in autumn. Especially in winter, it is dormant, so water it only when it is dry, and strictly control the water content.

5. Fertilization

Fertilizer should be applied in small amounts, multiple times, and at low concentrations. Fertilizer should be applied once every half a month from spring to before flowering, using phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Stop fertilizing during the flowering period and in winter, and apply phosphorus fertilizer after the flowers fade to supplement nutrients.
