1、 Breeding conditions

1. Soil: jadeite beads like fertile soil. It's better to have loose soil. You can also choose culture soil and distribute it according to the ratio of four to six with rotten cow dung and coconut bran. If there are no conditions, rotten leaf soil can also be used

2. Light: it likes light itself. In addition to avoiding exposure in summer, it can be exposed to the sun at other times. Especially in winter, we should ensure sufficient light every day, otherwise it will affect its growth

3. Watering: jadeite beads are watered in different ways in four seasons. Spring enters the growth period, and water should be poured every two days. At high temperature in summer, it will be in a semi dormant state and absorb water slowly. Therefore, watering should not be too much. Watering should be done once every five days, which is suitable in the evening. When the growth recovers in autumn, pay attention to keep it moist. Avoid freezing at noon and watering in winter

4. Fertilization: jadeite beads have little demand for fertilizer. Fertilization should be carried out during the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, and fertilizer should be stopped at high temperature in summer. Fertilizer can be applied once in winter to ensure the development of next spring

2、 Reproductive skills

Jadeite beads are generally propagated by cutting. It is usually carried out when the temperature is appropriate in spring and autumn. Cut about 10cm of leafy branches as cuttings. Prepare a flowerpot with good air permeability, pad tiles at the bottom and add soil, and insert the cuttings into the pot soil for about 5cm. Place the basin in a well ventilated place with astigmatism, water it every few days, and take root after half a month

3、 Pest control

1. Diseases: the diseases of jadeite beads mainly include soot and stem rot. Among them, the soot disease can be prevented and treated with the diluent of daisenammonium or sterilized Dan, while the stem rot disease can be prevented and treated with the diluent of metalaxyl carbendazim

2. Insect pests: aphids and scale insects. Both can be controlled with fenitrothion emulsion diluent. Of course, it is best to remove them manually, and clean up the diseased branches and leaves eroded by pests at the same time
