1、 Breeding environment

1. Soil: loose and fertile soil is suitable for the growth of Cyclamen. The culture soil should be disinfected during planting

2. Fertilization: generally, it can be applied once every 10-15 days. When turning the basin and changing the soil, an appropriate amount of base fertilizer can be applied. The fertilization must be thin and frequent, and the fertilization should be stopped when the temperature is high in summer

3. Watering: keep the soil slightly moist during growth, and there shall be no ponding in the basin. If it doesn't continue to grow in summer, it can be watered normally

4. Temperature: the suitable temperature for Cyclamen in winter is 10-22 ℃, and the temperature difference between day and night shall not exceed 10 ℃. When the temperature at night is 8 ℃, it can bloom normally, but the flowering period will be shortened. If it is lower than 6 ℃, it can't bloom normally

2、 Breeding method

1. Sowing and reproduction: first disinfect the seed, and then soak it in warm water for 24 hours. When sowing, the seed spacing is 1-2 cm. After watering, put it in a dark environment. The temperature should be controlled at 18 ℃, wrap it with film, and it will germinate in about 20 days

2. Cutting stem propagation: the bulb can be divided only if it is more than 3cm directly and there are more than two bud holes. The cutting tool should be disinfected, cut directly to the root, coat the cut with plant ash, and then plant it after drying

3、 Common diseases and insect pests

1. Common pests: aphids, red spiders and leaf curlers can be controlled with carbofuran

2. Common diseases: leaf spot, soft rot, etc. when the disease occurs, it can be sprayed with tobuzin aqueous solution
