1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: most tropical plants are not cold resistant, and it is no exception. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, frostbite will occur. If the temperature is lower than 12 degrees, the plants will drop flowers and fruits. The most suitable temperature for its development is 20 degrees to 30 degrees, especially during the growth period. Be sure to maintain the temperature between this temperature range

2. Watering: it can blossom and bear fruit many times a year, so the demand for water is particularly large. If the temperature is lower than 20 degrees, water is usually supplied once every two days. If the temperature is above 25 degrees, water is required every day. If the plants maintained in the open field encounter dry weather, they need to supplement water manually, once in the morning and once in the evening

3. Fertilization: it likes fertilization. After observation, the fruits of plants planted in fertile soil will be juicy and refreshing, the plants will be tall and grow fast. The fruit of plants planted in poor soil is dry and astringent, so the growth rate of plants is relatively slow. Therefore, in the process of planting plants, it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrients. The nutrients of soil are limited. Generally, it needs to be fertilized once a month. Compound fertilizer can be used for fertilizer seeds

4. Light: it is a sun loving plant. If it is maintained in the open field, it can not be managed and let it naturally accept the light

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: carambola can be propagated by sowing, and the sowing time is different in each region. Take Hainan as an example. Generally, February to march is its sowing time. It is suitable for sowing. Sprinkle the seeds into the soil, then cover it with a layer of soil, and block the sun with a sunshade. During the period, ensure the humidity of the cultivated soil. The standard is that it is completely wet and there is no ponding

2. Pruning: it is usually pruned twice. The first time is after successful colonization, it needs to be cut off at 60cm, which can promote the growth of lateral branches. The second time is after the results. This time, there is no need for large pruning, just cut off the stumps and dead leaves

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Anthrax: the occurrence of anthrax in carambola usually occurs on the fruit. In this case, it is necessary to destroy the infected fruit and spray Bordeaux solution on the incision pests to increase the disease resistance of the plant

2. Insect pest: it is easy to infect bird feather moth. If it is found, trichlorfon needs to be sprayed for pest control

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: it is edible

2. Toxicity: non toxic
