Breeding precautions

---

Soil: Use fertile and well-drained soil for growing winter corals. Light and temperature: Give it a growing environment of 18℃-25℃ and sufficient light. Watering and fertilizing: There should be no accumulated water in the pot, the soil needs to be kept moist, and thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once every half month. Propagation is mostly by sowing or cutting. Fertilization should be suspended during the flowering period and watering should be controlled.

Cultivation methods

Soil

For potted winter corals, the flower pot should be of appropriate size and should be loose when potting. Fertile and well-drained soil, you can add a little base fertilizer appropriately.

Light and temperature

Winter coral likes a warm growth environment and sunlight, and is suitable for growing in sunny places. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 18℃ and 25℃. In winter, when the temperature is low, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of its living environment is not lower than 5℃ so that it can survive the winter safely. In addition, it likes sunlight, so be careful not to shade it. You can keep it in a well-ventilated and brightly lit place during summer when the temperature is high and the sun is strong.

Watering and fertilizing

Winter coral is not drought-tolerant and is more afraid of waterlogging, so avoid accumulation of water in the basin. During the breeding process, the soil needs to be kept moist and watered appropriately. It should not be too dry or too wet. Fertilizer can be applied once every half month with a thin liquid fertilizer. Note that some phosphorus fertilizer needs to be applied before flowering to make flowers and fruits prolific. When blooming, water and fertilizer need to be controlled to prevent flowers and fruits from falling. When the fruit grows to the size of mung beans, you can restore water and fertilizer, and apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately to make the fruit bright.

Cultivation precautions

Propagation methods

The propagation of winter corals is mostly done by sowing or cutting. Sowing is done in spring, and cutting can be done in spring or autumn.

Pests and diseases

Potted winter corals are prone to anthracnose when the temperature is high in summer, which damages the stems and leaves, and the disease is more serious. When the disease occurs, diseased leaves can be cut off and burned, and pesticides need to be sprayed. The main pests are aphids, which can be killed by spraying insecticides.

Flowering period management

The flowering period management of winter coral is mainly water and fertilizer management. It is necessary to suspend fertilization and control watering. After the fruit grows, water and fertilizer can be resumed.
