To cultivate smiles, you need to choose slightly acidic soil. It is best to use culture soil prepared from garden soil, sandy soil and humus soil. During the growth period, except for the flowering period and winter, apply bone fertilizer and water once a month. You can prevent beetle damage by following the principle of neither drying nor watering. After the flowering period, overlapping branches that are too long need to be pruned. 1. Slightly acidic soil
The roots of Smiley are fleshy roots, so their vitality is relatively strong. When choosing soil, it is best to choose slightly acidic soil. You can use 3 parts The culture soil is prepared from garden soil, 1 part sand soil and 4 parts humus soil. This soil contains more nutrients and has better drainage capacity. 2. Appropriate top dressing
In the breeding method of smiling, appropriate fertilization is also required. During the growth stage, bone fertilizer or decomposed cake fertilizer can be applied every half a month. To improve the ability of roots to grasp soil, fertilization needs to be stopped during the flowering period and late October. During this period, fertilizing water can be applied once, which can promote bright and dark green leaves. 3. Never dry, don’t water
Hanxiao is very afraid of water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily be damaged, so it’s best to follow the principle of “never dry, don’t water” when watering. During the rainy season, it is even more necessary to control the humidity of the soil and provide timely drainage. A large amount of water is consumed before and after flowering. At this time, watering can be done once a day. 4. Pest control
During the breeding process, beetles often suffer from beetle pests. If not treated in time, it will induce sooty disease. Once found, petroleum emulsion can be diluted 150 times with water. Spray the leaves for treatment. During the period, you can also spray the leaves with 500 times carbendazim for control. 5. Pruning and shaping
After the flowers bloom, all overlong branches, overlapping branches and diseased branches can be pruned. If the fruits refuse to fall after flowering, It also needs to be pruned off, which can reduce the loss of nutrients. In the spring, new shoots will begin to sprout. At this time, the old leaves can be pruned appropriately.
