Key points of maintenance

Soil

The best soil for raising sheep hoof beetle is the sandy soil with fertile soil and strong drainage capacity. If it grows in such soil, its natural renewal ability will be very strong, and it can reproduce through self sowing. In the south of China, it is generally possible to cultivate in the open air, but in other areas, potted culture is needed, especially when paying attention to the seedlings, they need to be cultured in the nutrition bag in time, which can greatly improve the survival rate of sheep hoof beetle

Temperature

Sheep hoof beetle likes warm climate. It's best to have a sunny and slightly humid environment. It can't bear the environment with particularly low temperature. In winter, it's best to put it back in the house for breeding

Watering

The sheep hoof beetle likes a wet position. It must be watered frequently during breeding. Generally, it is watered once a day or two, and it must be watered thoroughly every time. If it is potted culture, we must ensure that the bottom of the flowerpot has good drainage. There can be no ponding, otherwise the root will rot. it is enough to ensure that the soil is wet

Fertilization

The growth period of sheep hoof beetle must be fertilized. Liquid fertilizer is the most appropriate fertilizer, which can be applied once or twice. In the dormancy period, its growth will become particularly slow. At this time, it does not need too much fertilizer. It is best not to apply any fertilizer. Otherwise, it is easy to burn its roots and even the whole plant

Reproduction

Cutting is the most important way of propagation, followed by grafting, so if you want to grow more and more vigorously, you can choose these two ways to achieve. Oh, the time of cutting is in March and April, and the time of grafting can be in April and may in spring or August and September in autumn

Precautions

The most important thing in breeding sheep hoof beetle is to pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests. Its diseases are mainly Fusarium wilt. The main pests include coir raindrop moth, brown edged green thorn moth and aphid. The most important response to diseases and pests is to focus on prevention, and find and apply the medicine to the case in time
