Temperature: Zanthoxylum bungeanum likes to grow in a warm place, and the maintenance temperature should be kept above 20 degrees; Watering: During the growth period, it needs to be watered every other day, and enough water should be poured every time, but not Let water accumulate in the soil; Fertilization: Fertilize it mainly with nitrogen fertilizer, the frequency is once a month; Light: It is a long-day plant and can accept sunlight all day long.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is not cold-tolerant. The minimum temperature for overwintering is five degrees above zero. Plants will be frostbitten if it is below five degrees, which will affect the fruiting rate in the coming year. Therefore, if you plant in the north, you need to do some frost protection in winter. The curing temperature should be kept between 18 degrees and 30 degrees.

2. Watering: The main period of its growth is in summer. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so watering should be done more frequently. It is best to water once every two days. It should be noted that every time you water The soil must be thoroughly irrigated with water.

3. Fertilization: When fertilizing before flowering, nitrogen fertilizer is generally used to promote growth and supplement the previous nutritional deficiencies in autumn and winter. When fertilizing after flowering, the fruiting rate must be taken into consideration. In addition to nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should also be used. Top dressing only needs to be done once a month.

4. Light: Long-day plants have a particularly large demand for light. Therefore, when giving it light, there is no need to consider strong light or astigmatism. You only need to consider the light time. The daily light time cannot be less than Eight hours.

2. Breeding skills

1. Whitening the trunk: Before winter, you can use a trunk whitening agent to whiten its trunk, so that the overwintering trees on the trunk can be Bacteria and some insect eggs are killed directly, and night freezing can also be avoided.

2. Pruning: Before winter, proper pruning is required. The main objects of pruning are branches that are one to two years old. The purpose of this is to reduce the tree’s consumption of nutrients and improve its ability to withstand the cold. , ensuring a smooth wintering.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a relatively easy pest to infect. The pests will adsorb on the young leaves and suck the juice, causing the branches and leaves to curl, causing the plants to contract. Flowers and fruits fall. To treat this pest, it is necessary to spray it with a 40% dilution of omethoate, and the spraying interval is once every ten days.

2. Disease: Plants with yellowing branches and leaves and falling leaves are probably caused by improper watering. Although plants like moist soil, if improper watering causes water accumulation in the soil, the plant's health will be affected. The roots cannot breathe, and root rot will occur. From the appearance, it is a symptom of yellow and fallen leaves. To solve this problem, you need to temporarily stop watering. Only water the branches and leaves of the plant every time, but do not water the roots. After the soil at the roots is completely dry, you can water normally.

IV. Other issues

1. Edible: It can be eaten. The most common way to eat it is to make it into a condiment.

2. Whether it is suitable for indoor breeding: It is not suitable for indoor breeding because its plant is relatively large and prone to insects, so it is not recommended for home breeding.
