1、 Breeding conditions

1. Loam: it likes peat soil with nutrition, softness and good water permeability

2. Temperature: the range of 15-28 ℃ is most suitable for its growth. At the beginning of spring, it can not be lower than 7 ℃, otherwise it may be frostbitten

3. Light: provide sufficient light, it can accumulate nutrients. In addition to the direct light at noon, you can receive as much light as possible at other times. At least half Yin, not too dark

4. Water supply: blue snowflake itself likes humidity. After water shortage, it needs to supplement sufficient water to meet the needs of vigorous growth period. Moreover, if the water is insufficient, it will not only affect its growth, but also its leaves may turn yellow. Generally speaking, "dry and pour thoroughly" is enough. Keep the soil slightly moist at ordinary times

5. Fertilizer: relatively speaking, it prefers fertilizer, and some slow-release fertilizers can be used to assist its growth. But the amount should not be too much

2、 Breeding method

1. Cutting: it is generally carried out from May to June. Cut strong branches from the plant and insert them in the soil it likes. Control the growth temperature at 20-25 ℃ and take root in about 20-28 days

2. Ramet: take it out of the pot, tap the plant to make the excess loam fall off, and then separate the plant by roots and plant it in a new flower pot

3、 Turn over the basin or change the basin

Spring is also a good season to change pots. Choosing a good matrix is one of the important steps. A loose, breathable and nutritious matrix should be used. At the same time of changing the basin, it can also be trimmed, and the roots and branches can be cut. Pruning branches is also of great significance for subsequent flowering

4、 Prevention of diseases and insect pests

This kind of plant has a strong ability to adapt to the growth environment, so it rarely gets sick. If it is found to be infected with root knot nematode, it needs to go to the local store to buy insecticide for spraying. Spiders need to spray insecticides in time
