Culture methods of Red Snowflake

The suitable temperature for the growth of red snowflakes is about 25 ℃, and potted plants can be planted with a mixture of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and coarse sand; in summer, strong light exposure should be avoided, shading should be carried out properly, and light should be received for several hours in other seasons; keep the basin soil moist during the growth period In spring and summer, liquid fertilizer can be applied every 7 days, and the residual flowers and old branches can be trimmed in time and pest control measures should be taken.

I. suitable environment

1. Red snowflakes like to grow in a warm environment and are not resistant to severe cold. The suitable temperature for red snowflakes to grow is about 25 ℃.

2. In summer, it can withstand a high temperature of about 35 ℃. In winter, the temperature should be controlled above 7 ℃. If the temperature is too low, freezing damage will occur easily.

II. Soil requirements

Red snowflakes like to grow in loose, fertile and slightly acidic soil, so potted soil can be cultivated with a mixture of rotten leaf soil, garden soil and coarse sand.

Third, lighting requirements

1, red snowflakes love light, but also more shade-resistant, generally can be placed in a place with sufficient light for maintenance.

2, potted plants, need to receive several hours of light every day, but in the hot summer, should not be exposed to strong light, the need for proper shade.

3. In the cold winter, there can be more sunlight, and sufficient light is beneficial to the robust growth of red snowflakes.

IV. Watering requirements

Red snowflakes in the growing season, the demand for water is also relatively large, in addition to the usual watering, but also to spray water around the red snowflake plants, which is conducive to keeping the environment moist, but it is necessary to reduce the amount of water in winter and keep the basin soil dry.

V. Fertilizer requirements

In the process of growth, red snowflakes need a large amount of fertilizer. Spring and summer are prosperous periods, during which fertilizer can be applied every 7 days, usually liquid fertilizer can be applied.

VI. Pruning matters

1. After the red snowflake blossoms, it needs to be pruned, and then wait 20-30 days to blossom again.

2. And the old branches of red snowflakes can not exceed 2 years, so they can be forcefully cut every autumn, during which the black branches can be cut off, as long as the new sturdy green branches are retained.

7. Change the basin in time

The red snowflake can be changed in the spring, during which the red snowflake plant can be taken out, and then after proper root and pruning, the red snowflake plant can be transplanted into a new flowerpot for breeding.

VIII. Prevention and control of insect pests

The main results are as follows: 1. The rhizome of red snowflake is vulnerable to the harm of root knot line. usually, the soil can be disinfected before pot planting, which is helpful to reduce the incidence of insect pests.

2. Red snowflakes are also prone to scale insects, so when insect pests are found, 1000 times of imidophos EC can be used for spray control.
