Culture methods of fake cherries

Fake cherry, also known as coral bean, is a kind of plant that looks very similar to cherry. It is widely cultivated because of its high ornamental value. What are the cultivation methods of fake cherry?

1. Growing soil: coral beans are suitable to be planted in areas with loose and fertile soil and good drainage conditions. When changing the basin soil, the basin can be changed in March, part of the old roots can be removed and the culture soil can be added to make the new branches grow more exuberantly.

2. Timely watering: during the flowering period, coral beans should be properly watered, not too much, so that the soil should be a little dry and wet, which can effectively prevent flowers from falling. After setting fruit, it is necessary to control the drying and humidity to prevent fruit drop.

3. Growth temperature: coral beans are suitable for growing in a warm, sunny environment, and the suitable growth temperature is about 18-25 ℃. If the temperature is too low, they need to be covered with thin film for heat preservation to prevent the leaves from freezing damage.

4. Reasonable lighting: proper shading and maintenance should be carried out in spring, summer and autumn. When the temperature is relatively high during the day and the temperature is above 25 ℃, direct plant radiation should be avoided, otherwise it will lead to smaller leaves, shortening of branches, yellowing and even shedding of foot leaves, affecting its normal growth. In winter, because the temperature is relatively low, it can be placed in a sunny place for irradiation, which is conducive to promoting its photosynthesis, thus forming flower buds, flowering and fruit.

5. Pest control: potted coral beans are prone to charcoal maggot disease in high temperature and rainy season. 1000 times of methyl topper solution can be used for spray, once in each room for 7-10 days, about 3 times continuously. The effect is good.

Generally speaking, fake cherries are easy to breed, as long as the temperature is controlled at 18-25 degrees, liquid fertilizer is applied every half a month, more light is given in winter, and less light can be fed the rest of the time.
