1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Elderflower does not have particularly high requirements for it. Generally speaking, it can be maintained at 15 to 30 degrees. In addition, its cold resistance is also good. Unless it is in a very cold area, generally speaking, it is not necessary to protect it from cold.

2. Light: Elderflower is a species that likes light. It can tolerate a little semi-shade, but it cannot tolerate complete shade. Therefore, in order to ensure its normal growth during growth, it needs to be placed in an environment with sufficient sunlight. In addition to avoiding direct light, it should receive as much light as possible at other times.

3. Watering: Eldergrass is generally a happy plant. It is wet, but it is also afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, there should be enough water during the growing season and flowering season to keep the substrate in a semi-humid state, and replenish it in time after drying. Furthermore, in winter, you cannot completely skip watering, but the amount must not be too much.

4. Fertilization: Eldergrass does not require much fertilizer. As long as there are more nutrients in the soil, top dressing does not need to be much, but it can be once a month or once every two months.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: Propagation can be carried out by cuttings. Choose branches with a length of 20 to 25 centimeters and good growth conditions, and note that they must have at least three nodes. Trim the leaves and bottom. When planting, the spacing between rows can be about 26 centimeters, and the depth can be between 16 and 20 centimeters. After planting, you need to pay attention to shading and other work.

2. Pruning: Pruning of its branches and leaves is very important. Once dry or yellowing branches and leaves are found, they need to be pruned in time. In addition to pruning, you also need to pay attention to weeding. The seedlings need to be weeded once when they are 13 to 17 centimeters tall, and then twice a year.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 . Diseases: Too much watering leads to water accumulation. The disease it causes is called "root rot", which causes the root system to rot. It is best to remove the pot and cut off the rotten roots. In addition, you need to use multi-bacteria. Prevent and treat with chlorothalonil or chlorothalonil.

2. Pests: Normally there are not too many pests. Once they appear, various pesticides can be used to control them.

IV. Other questions

1 , Toxicity: Its entire plant is poisonous.

2. Whether it can be raised at home: This is generally not done because its main value is not ornamental value, and it is also poisonous.
