I. Maintenance methods
1, temperature: juniper has high cold tolerance and can overwinter outdoors in winter. However, in order to ensure its healthy growth, the temperature should be controlled between 15 and 30 degrees, and the high temperature in summer should not be too high, otherwise it will seriously affect its normal growth.
2, watering: always keep the soil moist, don't dry, water it every one or two days in spring, but observe that there is no water in the flowerpot, and it can't be flooded. If it is watered too much, it will easily cause the roots of juniper to rot.
3. Illumination: juniper needs to receive sufficient illumination during its growth. After all, it is a light-loving plant and needs to receive at least six hours of normal light every day. If the light is not enough, the branches and leaves of juniper will turn dark yellow, unlike normal green, which will affect the appearance.
4, fertilization: the soil must have nutrients, so it is necessary to fertilize regularly and apply thin fertilizer every 15 to 20 days, so as to grow faster.
Second, feeding skills
1, reproduction: sowing is the main way of reproduction. Before sowing, it is necessary to disinfect the seeds, put them in the sand for about three months, then take them out and wait for them to crack, and germinate two weeks after sowing.
2. Pruning: Pruning the buds often can promote branching and let the mother plant absorb nutrients normally. Trim the side branches and cut off the branches that are not growing well.
Third, the problem diagnosis and treatment
1, disease: epidemic disease is dominant. The best control method is spraying pesticides, usually in June and July. At the same time, the diseased branches can be directly cut off. When spraying pesticides, be careful not to spray them on the branches and leaves of plants, so as not to harm the plants.
2. Pests: If watering and lighting meet the standards, there will be few pests.
Four. Other issues
1, toxicity: non-toxic, and also has good use value. It can be made into essential oil, which has the function of clearing the heart. Now many people use it to detoxify.
2. Can I keep it at home? Yes, because it is beautiful in appearance and rarely suffers from pests, it is also very simple to raise.
