Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of Tianshan yacon is between 20 and 30 degrees. In winter, the maintenance temperature needs to be adjusted to above 15 degrees, otherwise it will be difficult for the plants to survive the winter successfully; Watering: Not intolerant to waterlogging, dry weather requires watering once a week; Fertilization: In addition to base fertilizer, fertilizer needs to be applied two to three times during the growth period; Light : It is a long-day plant and needs at least five hours of light every day.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance method

1. Temperature: It is not cold-tolerant. If the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, problems will occur in the growth state of the plant. The most common problem is to stop growing, so during the maintenance process Be sure to adjust the temperature to ensure it is around 25 degrees. At this temperature, the growth is optimal. It cannot be overwintered in the open field because its stems will dry out and die if exposed to frost.

2. Watering: It likes to live in soil with relatively high humidity, so the soil must be kept moist for a long time. Plants grown in the open field do not need artificial watering if the rain is good. If the drought lasts for more than a month, they need to be watered every week.

3. Fertilization: The soil needs to be fertilized before planting Mix in base fertilizer. You can use farmyard manure or compound fertilizer as base fertilizer. During the growth period, the consumption of nutrients is relatively large. The nutrients in the soil alone are not enough. It needs to be added with nutrients. Generally, two to three fertilizers are needed during the entire growth period. On average, that's once a month.

4. Light: Long-day plants have a relatively large demand for light, and Tianshan yacon is no exception. It needs a lot of light. Plants cultured in the open field can receive normal light. Plants maintained at home are best. Maintain in a place with sufficient sunlight.

2. Breeding skills

1. Propagation: Propagating Tianshan yacon can be propagated using root blocks. Cut the harvested seed bulbs into small pieces of about one centimeter and store them in sandy soil to ensure good ventilation conditions. In March, dig out the soil and observe whether any seedlings have grown. The seedlings should grow to about three centimeters. Planted. The planting time should be chosen in April every year, and three or four seed bulbs should be left in each pond. After planting, keep the soil moist, and the buds will grow in about a week.

2. Pruning: Its most valuable part is the root, so if the branches and leaves are too dense, proper pruning is required.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect damage: Plant seedlings are prone to aphids. If it is not serious, you can spray it with insecticides. If it is serious, the infected plants must be pulled out and destroyed to avoid continued infection.

2. Lesions: It is prone to soft rot. To prevent soft rot, you must avoid wounds on the plant. You must be careful when planting. When planting in divisions, remember to remember the incision. Use plant ash to disinfect and do the above, and the plants will generally not develop soft rot.
