1、 Curing method

1. Soil: the soil layer with good air permeability, water benefit and humus is most suitable for breeding water tower flowers. The soil that can meet these conditions must be acidic sandy loam

2. Moisture: the environment for breeding is better, the humidity is higher, and it can also grow in slightly arid soil. The amount of water should not be too much. It is OK to spray some water appropriately

3. Nutrient: organic liquid fertilizer can provide it with sufficient nutrients, and the applicable amount should be less. During its growth, it has little demand for fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, it should avoid spreading it to the root, which is easy to cause root burns

4. Light: I like to grow in a mild and semi shady place and am afraid of strong light, because direct strong light will cause damage to its branches and leaves and affect the normal growth of plants

2、 Breeding skills

1. Pruning: after planting for a period of time, loosen the soil and weed, and properly prune the branches and leaves that are yellow and withered, so as to be more beneficial to their growth

2. Propagation: propagation should be carried out in spring, and cutting propagation can be used. Cut about ten centimeters of tiller buds and cut them in the prepared soil. When the temperature is about 25 to 28 degrees Celsius, small roots and buds can be produced in about a month

3、 Diagnosis and treatment problems

1. Root rot: the root will blacken and rot, without lateral roots, and can not absorb water and fertilizer, so that it will grow slowly. At this time, it can be solved by spraying with ethyl phosphine aluminum diluted with water

2. Spodoptera litura: This is the most common pest of cultured water tower flower. It takes its petals as food, hides in the soil during the day, and comes out to look for food at night. It can be removed by spraying its plant and soil with pyrethrin

4、 Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: it is not resistant to the cold. In winter, it should be moved indoors for maintenance and placed in a warm place with astigmatism. The best temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius, which can not only spend the winter smoothly, but also not affect the growth of spring

2. Whether it can be exposed to rain: the water tower flower can not be exposed to rain. It has certain drought resistance and does not like too wet soil. Being wet by rain will affect its branches and leaves. It should be sheltered in time in rainy days
