Cultivation methods and matters needing attention of emperor crown

Soil: The crown grows better in the soil with good drainage and air permeability. Soil mixed with coarse sand and garden soil can be used for cultivation. Lighting: A sunny environment is more suitable for its growth. It is necessary to shade the sun at noon in summer. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its growth is between 5-30℃. Watering: the water is wet and dry alternately, so that the soil is kept slightly wet. It can store a lot of water by itself without fear of being attacked by drought.

I. Maintenance methods

1. Pot soil: Guandi's pot soil should be drained and ventilated. Broken tiles are placed at the bottom of the flowerpot and mixed with coarse sand and garden soil. In order to have certain nutrition, a small amount of bone meal or humus can also be added.

2. Lighting: It likes sunny growing environment very much, but it still needs proper shading at noon in summer. As long as there is sunshine, it can grow well.

3. Temperature: Its growth temperature is relatively wide, and it can grow well at 5-30℃, and it can withstand a large temperature difference between day and night. As long as the overwintering temperature is not lower than 5℃, it can safely overwinter.

4. Watering: The crown itself has the ability to store water, so you don't need to water too much at ordinary times. After the soil is completely dry, you can water it, but don't let the flowerpot accumulate water, so as not to rot the roots.

Breeding skills

1. Propagation: There are mainly two kinds of crown propagation: sowing and grafting, but both of them are more troublesome. Seeding method germinates slowly, grafting is the best in June and July, and the survival rate is acceptable.

2. Change pots: When changing pots, you need to trim the rotten roots, then dry them in a ventilated place for a week, and then put them on the pot again. If it is a new seedling within 2 years, there is no need to trim the roots. Just put it directly on the pot.

Third, the problem diagnosis and treatment

1, Anthracnose: This disease is common and harmful to plants. After discovery, 600 times of 65% zineb wettable powder can be sprayed in time.

2. Pests: The first pest must be red spider. After the red spider appears on the plant, it first appears gray-yellow patches, and then large leaves fall off until they all disappear, so it should be killed in time.

Four. Other issues

1, edible: Guandi is an endangered species, so don't eat it.

2. Can it be kept indoors: Emperor Guan can keep it indoors, which can not only absorb the radiation brought by various electronic devices, but also play a decorative role, but be careful not to get stuck by it.
