1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: in contrast, plants growing in warm places will grow better than those growing in cold places. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the temperature around it to about 20 degrees. It has good cold resistance and can enter the house later, but it can not be maintained for a long time. In a cold environment, it will be frostbitten

2. Watering: it likes to grow in moist soil and keep the soil moist for a long time. If it is short of water, the growth speed of the plant will be affected. If the water shortage is serious, the leaves of the plant will turn yellow. In winter, it is necessary to reduce watering, because the metabolic function slows down and too much watering will affect overwintering. Generally, watering once every two to four days is enough

3. Fertilization: to fertilize it, we need to use rotten organic fertilizer. During the growth period, we need to fertilize it once every half a month. After the flower withers, we need to topcoat it once. In the weather of high temperature and drought, we need to apply thin fertilizer. Before winter, we need to topcoat it once, which can increase the success rate of overwintering

4. Light: after research, plants in places with sufficient light and soft light grow better than those in the environment with too strong or too dark light. Therefore, during normal maintenance, try to maintain them in an environment with moderate light intensity. If the light is too strong, it needs to be shaded, and if the light is too dark, it needs to be supplemented with light

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: cutting method can be used to propagate Aucklandia. The selected cuttings should choose the twigs of the current year, which is easier to survive. After the cuttings are ready, dip a little plant ash in the incision to sterilize. Then insert the cuttings into the prepared cultivation soil and adjust the breeding temperature to about 20 degrees. Generally, the root strips can grow in two weeks

2. Pruning: in autumn, it needs to be pruned once, and the older branches in the plant with poor growth are pruned to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Pests: beetles are the main pests of plants. They will eat its leaves and flower buds, seriously affecting the yield and quality. If it is found that the plant is infected with beetles, it can be sprayed with phoxim. It should be noted that it cannot be sprayed during flowering

2. Disease: leaf rust is a common plant disease. Both leaves and new branches may be infected. When the disease is serious, the leaves of the plant will fall off in a large area, which will seriously affect the ornamental value. If the plant is found to be infected with leaf rust, Triadimefon can be used to spray the infected place once a week for four consecutive times, and it can be cured

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: not edible, but can be used as medicine

2. Other functions: it can make cosmetic essential oil
