1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: the temperature of curing it should be controlled at about 20 degrees. If the temperature is too high, it will affect its health. If the temperature is too low, it will stop growing. Therefore, its requirements for temperature must be followed during curing

2. Watering: it is a drought tolerant plant, but after successful planting, it needs to be watered with sufficient water once in order to promote its rapid germination. It should be noted that the amount of watering should be controlled and there should be no ponding in the soil. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 30 degrees, water it once or twice a week. If the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, water it once every other day

3. Fertilization: fertilization shall be determined according to its growth. If the branches and leaves turn yellow, compound fertilizer shall be used. If the plant is not high, phosphate fertilizer shall be used. If the plant grows normally, there is no need to apply fertilizer for the time being. If applying fertilizer, it is generally applied after watering. At this time, the soil is soft and moist, which is conducive to plant absorption. It can also reduce the concentration of fertilizer and avoid root burning

4. Light: it is a sunny plant. It needs enough light to meet its needs and can accept all day sunshine

2、 Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: it can reproduce by means of seed reproduction. The reproduction time is in spring. The seeds are buried in soil nests. The distance between each nest and the nest is kept at about 10 cm to avoid too dense growth and affecting the absorption of nutrients

2. Pruning: generally, it doesn't need pruning, just prune the withered branches and leaves at ordinary times

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: aphids, whitefly and flea beetle are the most susceptible pests of Patrinia villosa. They will gnaw on the branches and leaves of the plant and affect the growth of the plant. If it is found that it needs to be sprayed with imidacloprid powder, it should be noted that because Patrinia villosa is a Chinese herbal medicine, it is necessary to avoid the use of dichlorvos and other highly toxic agents in pest control

2. Disease: if the branches and leaves turn white and yellow, it is mostly caused by insufficient light. It is necessary to increase the light. It is best to raise the plants cultured in the north in a sunny place, so as to give them the light to the greatest extent

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: it can't be eaten directly, but it can be used as medicine. It is the raw material of many medicines

2. Whether it can be raised at home: it can be raised at home, but it is best to raise it on the balcony and other places, which is good for its growth
