1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: the temperature suitable for its development is between 5 degrees and 15 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the growth of the plant will be affected, the ability of its roots to absorb nutrients will be weakened, and the branches and leaves of the plant will wither slowly. The maximum temperature of maintenance shall not exceed 15 degrees. If it exceeds 15 degrees, the plant will stop growing, which is unfavorable to the growth of the next year

2. Watering: it likes to be wet. It should keep the soil moist for a long time, but there should be no water in the soil. Its roots are mostly fleshy. If there is water in the soil, it will easily lead to plant rotten roots. Therefore, drainage should be done well in the rainy season. There is a great demand for water during growth and flowering, and it needs watering every day. In autumn and winter, because the sunshine time is relatively short and the water consumption is reduced, it is necessary to control watering. Watering twice or three times a week is enough

3. Fertilization: it likes fertilization. Generally, it needs to be fertilized every half a month during the growth period, and the fertilizer should be cut off during the flowering period in order to promote the development of flower buds. If it is found that the leaf color of the plant is not strong and bright, alum fertilizer water can be used once

4. Light: it is not resistant to exposure. When giving light, it needs to be shaded by 30%, so as to prevent the sun from sunburn the leaves

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: it can be propagated by cutting. This method is suitable for plants that need to reproduce more in a short time. The disadvantage is that they grow slowly. The cutting time should be in the spring and summer when the climate is relatively stable. Select the annual branches, cut them into branches of about 10 cm, and then insert them into the seedbed with good drainage. Sprinkle water mist once a day and cultivate them in a cool place

2. Pruning: it is not suitable for large pruning. At ordinary times, we need to cut off the sick and weak branches. Before new buds appear in spring, we should appropriately cut off some old leaves

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Yellowing of leaves: the yellowing of leaves may be caused by too strong light. It needs to be maintained in a shady place

2. Diseases: it often infects diseases such as leaf blight and anthrax. When diseases occur, the diseased leaves need to be cut off and destroyed as soon as possible, and then sprayed with chlorothalonil for disinfection

4、 Other issues

1. Function: it is a good wood. In addition, its flowers can also make essential oil

2. Toxicity: it is non-toxic
