Temperature: Borage is relatively cold-tolerant and can withstand temperatures as low as minus 11 degrees, so the maintenance temperature requirements do not need to be too strict and can be controlled at more than 20 degrees; Watering: It is not waterlogging-resistant and is generally watered once a week. Two times is enough; Fertilization: Fertilizer needs to be applied two to three times during the growth period; Light: Provide it with no less than five hours of light every day.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance method

1. Temperature: It is cold-resistant and heat-resistant. It can grow normally between 5 and 30 degrees. It grows best when the temperature is maintained at about 20 degrees. . Because it can withstand low temperatures of minus 11 degrees, it can also be planted in the north. Plants grown in the south can overwinter in the open field.

2. Watering: It is afraid of both drought and waterlogging, so you need to pay special attention when watering it. Watering must not only ensure that it is thoroughly watered, but also ensure that there is no accumulation of water in the soil. The temperature in summer is relatively high and water evaporates quickly, so it needs to be watered every two days. During the non-growing period, watering once a week is enough.

3. Fertilize: To fertilize it, it is best to use liquid fertilizer. During the growth period, use it once a week; during the growth period, use potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution once every ten days. Spray a total of two to four times. Second-rate. Depending on the growth status of the plant, if it is not growing well, you can also spray it with Gaolida nutritional supplement during the flowering period.

4. Light: It likes sunshine, and sufficient light is very beneficial to its growth. Therefore, during maintenance, you can give it as much light as possible, and the light time per day is at least six hours.

2. Breeding skills

1. Propagation: It can be propagated by sowing. Before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water for forty-eight hours, and the water needs to be changed every day. Sow the treated seeds into the soil. Use hole sowing method. Sow three or four seeds in each hole. After sowing, cover it with a thin layer of soil, about two centimeters thick. After completing the above steps, water it again. Once soaked with water, seedlings will emerge in about two weeks.

2. Pruning: If the plant is too lush, proper pruning is needed at this time. Cut off all the branches that are not growing well, leaving enough growth space and nutrients for healthy branches.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect damage: After the plant development is completed, it is necessary to spray carbendazim once a week to enhance resistance, so that it is less likely to be infected by insect damage. If unfortunately, it is still If it is infected, it can be sprayed with insecticides. It should be noted that the agent needs to be diluted before spraying.

2. Disease: If the plant has yellow leaves and fallen leaves, it is probably caused by excessive watering. You need to stop watering and resume watering when the soil is completely dry.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is not toxic and can be cultured with confidence.

2. Edible: It is not edible.
