1、 Illumination

Pinecone chrysanthemum likes the sun. Indoor maintenance should be placed on the sunny Nanyang platform. Ground planting should be planted in the sunny place without buildings. It should be exposed to the sun in spring, autumn and winter. Only in hot summer, it needs proper sun shading and cooling

2、 Temperature

Echinacea is afraid of cold and heat. The minimum temperature for winter breeding shall not be lower than 10 ℃. In hot summer, when the temperature exceeds 25 ℃, it needs proper sun shading and cooling. When the temperature is too high, individual leaves are easy to turn yellow and brown. Just remove them in time. It doesn't matter

3、 Watering

Echinacea should not be short of water during the growth period. If the soil surface turns white and dry, it should be watered in time and thoroughly. If there is a plum rain season, the air humidity is high and the soil moisture is not easy to evaporate, the watering should be properly controlled

4、 Fertilization

The pineal chrysanthemum is in the flowering period, so it is not recommended to apply fertilizer. After the pineal chrysanthemum blossoms fail, trim the remaining flowers, and apply fertilizer and water with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a half month. During fertilization, do not touch the fertilizer and water on the plant to avoid fertilizer injury

5、 Diseases and insect pests

Pay attention to insect prevention during the growth of Echinacea, especially the newly grown buds, which are particularly prone to aphid infestation. In case of insect pests, you can spray imidacloprid and pyraphid ketone on the plant. The alternative use of the two has the best effect. You can often open windows for ventilation to prevent the occurrence of Echinacea diseases and pests
