Temperature: Shenjinhua likes warmth and grows best when it is around 20 degrees. If the temperature is too low, it will not grow; Watering: It likes moisture and needs to be watered every other day. Avoid using low-temperature water for winter watering; Fertilization: It is more tolerant of barrenness and does not require fertilization except during the growth period; Lighting: Lighting is mainly astigmatism, and the lighting time should be guaranteed to be more than four hours a day.

1. Maintenance method

1. Temperature: The maintenance temperature should be kept between 20 degrees and 25 degrees. It grows best at this temperature. It is not resistant to freezing and can survive the winter. The temperature should be kept above five degrees, otherwise the plants will suffer frostbite. Plants maintained in the north need to be maintained indoors in autumn.

2. Watering: The growth period consumes a lot of nutrients and needs to be watered every two days. During the non-growing period, watering should be controlled. Watering two to three times in half a month is enough. When watering in winter, pay attention to the water temperature to avoid damage to the plants due to too low water temperature.

3. Fertilization: Before planting, the soil needs to be mixed Apply base fertilizer. In addition, top-dress it once a month. Use light fertilizer for fertilizing seeds. When fertilizing, the fertilizer should not be in direct contact with the plant. It should be applied about five centimeters away from the plant to avoid fertilizer damage. .

4. Lighting: It likes to grow in a semi-shady environment and is relatively shade-tolerant, but this does not mean that it does not need sunlight. When it is given sunlight, it should avoid strong light and use astigmatism as the best option. Lord, four or five hours of light every day is enough.

2. Breeding skills

1 . Propagation: It can be propagated by division. The division time is in April and May, because the temperature at this time is relatively stable. Just separate the dense clusters and put them in a cool environment for maintenance. If you use cuttings to propagate, you can cut branches directly from the plant and insert them into the sand bed in spring. Keep the sand bed moist, and roots will grow in about half a month.

2. Pruning: Once the flowering period is over, branches and leaves that have bloomed will fall off. Branches that are not growing well need to be cut off in time, which can promote the growth of new branches in the coming year. The flowers will bloom more vigorously.

3. Problem diagnosis

1 . Insect pests: It is susceptible to aphids, which will eat its young leaves and transmit bacteria. After aphids are discovered, severely infected branches should be cut off and burned, and then sprayed with insecticides.

2. Lesions: Plants are more susceptible to leaf spot disease. In the early stage of the disease, round black spots appear on the branches and leaves. Later, they will slowly expand until the edges become dark brown, and the plant will slowly become infected. Wither and die. When this disease occurs, the infected branches should first be destroyed and then sprayed with carbendazim.

IV. Other questions

1 , Edible: It is not edible.

2. Toxicity: non-toxic and can be used as medicine.
