1、 Breeding method

1. Basin selection

The first step of breeding hairy starfish is to choose a suitable flowerpot. You can choose a coarse pottery basin or a plastic basin. First of all, the coarse pottery basin has good permeability, so there is no need to worry about the problem of ponding in the basin, and the pottery basin will be relatively stable, so there is no need to worry about being blown down by the wind. The second is the plastic basin, which is cheap and light, and saves space, but we should pay attention not to put it in a windy place, which is easy to be blown away

2. Soil preparation

The soil for breeding hairy starfish can be made of perlite and stone slag, and some charcoal can be added at the same time. This soil has very good water permeability

3. Watering

After Mao Haixing has just been planted, it is watering. You can water a small amount for many times, not a large amount at one time

4. Fertilization

When planting hairy starfish, it is best to apply base fertilizer once, which can promote the rooting and development of hairy starfish. After that, hairy starfish has low demand for fertilizer, so it can be applied according to the situation

5. Medication

In the process of breeding hairy starfish, although the probability of diseases and pests is very small, it is best to apply pesticides once every two months for prevention

2、 Precautions

1. Temperature and light. Mao Haixing likes a warm and dry environment and needs plenty of sunshine. It is best to control the temperature of its growth environment between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃, and the minimum temperature must not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise Mao Haixing will be frozen

2. Maintenance of summer and winter festivals. In summer, it is mainly necessary to put the hairy starfish in a place that can not be exposed to the hot sun, and the ventilation is good. In winter, it is necessary to put the hairy starfish in a place with sufficient sunshine, and the living environment temperature of the hairy starfish should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius. If it is cloudy and rainy continuously, the lighting can be used to remedy the lighting problem

3. Water. Watering hairy starfish is not suitable for a large number of watering, or spraying or drenching. Just pour the water thoroughly and ensure that the basin soil is not too dry
