1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: between 15 and 30 degrees, it is the most suitable season for its growth. Too hot or muggy environment is not suitable for it, so try not to be higher than 30 degrees. In addition, it's best to take some cold prevention measures in winter, especially in very northerly places

2. Light: Generally speaking, it is a kind of light loving plant, but its negative tolerance is also very good. In the growing season, try to put it in a place with good sunshine, which will promote its growth. Too much light must be avoided

3. Watering: juniper has good drought tolerance, but it is afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, water supply should not be too much at ordinary times, and ponding should be avoided. Generally speaking, it is very appropriate to replenish water according to "see dry and see wet". When it is very hot in summer, the water supply needs to be a little more, and it should be supplemented sooner or later

4. Fertilization: fertilization can be carried out only in spring and autumn. From March to may, fertilizer can be applied twice or three times, such as cake fertilizer and water. In autumn, use it once or twice in total

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: one commonly used is cutting. It can be carried out in late autumn. The stout branches with a length of 15 cm are selected as cuttings. The matrix is prepared with nutrient soil, river sand, peat soil and other materials. After cutting, the temperature most conducive to rooting is between 20 and 30 degrees, not too high, otherwise the wound is easy to rot

2. Change basin: if you want to use it as a bonsai, you should pay attention to changing basin. The interval is usually three or four years. It's best to do it from March to April. Only about half of the soil can be replaced. We should also pay attention to cutting off part of the aging roots

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: the main one is "rust", which will live through the winter. Although the harm is not particularly serious, it still needs to be prevented and treated in time

2. Insect pests: there are not many pests at ordinary times. They can be prevented regularly at ordinary times. Generally, they will not appear

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: it has slight toxicity, and the whole plant contains toxins. It can be used as medicine

2. Whether it can be raised at home: it has strong purification effect, can also be viewed, and can be placed at home. But just be careful not to eat by mistake
