1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: it is neither resistant to cold nor high temperature. The temperature suitable for its growth is about 20 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 25 degrees in summer, it needs to be cooled. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees in winter, it needs to be kept warm

2. Watering: spring and autumn is the vigorous period of its growth. It needs to be watered every three days. In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, so each watering is needed. If the water is tap water, it can only be used after drying. In winter, we need to control the amount of watering. Watering once a week is enough

3. Fertilization: during the growth period, fertilization is required once every half a month. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be used as fertilizer, because the nutrition of compound fertilizer is comprehensive and can meet the needs of plants in an all-round way. Stop fertilization during dormancy to avoid fertilizer damage

4. Light: it cannot accept strong light irradiation. Under strong light irradiation, its branches and leaves will soon be dehydrated, and its leaves will lose luster. During the growth period, it can meet the astigmatism irradiation for six hours a day, and during the dormancy period, it can be illuminated for four hours a day

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: the propagation of wheat straw chrysanthemum generally uses the sowing method. Sprinkle the collected seeds into the soil with sufficient nutrients and moist soil, and then cover it with a thin layer of soil to keep the soil moist at 50%. After curing in a warm and dark environment, the seedlings will appear in about a week. After the seedlings appear, they cannot be transplanted temporarily. They should be transplanted when they grow three real leaves, so that the survival rate will be higher

2. Pruning: when it is in the period of vigorous growth, the branches on the top of the plant can be removed in order to concentrate nutrients and promote the growth of lateral buds. If tender buds are found on the top of the plant, they can also be removed together, so as to prevent the plant from growing in vain

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: it is easy to be infected with such pests as Paulownia beetle. When the insects are still in the larval stage, it needs to spray some chemicals once or twice a week

2. Pathological changes: catalpa trees are easy to be infected with gangrene when the climate is wet, and the leaves will fall off when the disease occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation during maintenance. If the plant is infected with anthrax, it can be sprayed with carbendazim

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: it is non-toxic. It not only has no toxic bark, but also can be used. The leaves have the effect of detoxification

2. Whether it is suitable for indoor breeding: if the potted plants are treated, they can be cultured indoors. If it has not been treated, indoor breeding is not recommended, because its growth speed is too fast and its plant body is too large, which does not meet the conditions of family planting
