It likes a warm, sunny and dry environment, is extremely tolerant to barrenness, can adapt to most soils, and can self-sow and reproduce. It blooms in the sun and closes in the morning, evening, and cloudy days, so it is called sunflower or noon flower.

Sunflowers can be propagated by sowing or cuttings. They can be sown in spring, summer, and autumn. At 20°C, the seeds will germinate about 10 days after sowing. The soil should be thinly covered, and it can grow without soil. At 15°C, it will bloom in about 20 days.

The half-flowered lotus is a sun-loving plant that likes light and high temperatures. It is extremely drought-resistant, has a strong vitality, and requires little management. It is known as "immortal".

The half-branch lotus not only has rich and bright colors, but also has excellent landscape effects. It grows robustly and requires very little management. Although it is an annual, it has a strong ability to self-seed and reproduce, and can be used for many years. It is an excellent landscape flower species.

 

　　Pot and soil: You can choose a clay pot for planting, and cover it with other pots, which is both beautiful and breathable. Since spring taro likes fertile, loose, well-drained slightly acidic soil, you can mix leaf mold, peat soil, garden soil, etc. with a small amount of river sand for home cultivation. Depending on the growth of the plant, repot once every 2 years in spring.

　　Light and temperature: Spring taro likes warmth, tolerates shade, is not cold-resistant, and avoids strong sunlight. In the hot summer, it should be placed in the shade. In winter, it can be placed in a sunny place. The suitable temperature for its growth is 18℃ to 25℃, and the wintering temperature is preferably greater than 8℃.

　　Water and fertilizer: Spring taro likes a humid environment. You can usually water it with rice water. Keep the soil moist during the growing season. In summer, you can spray water on the leaves or around the flowerpot every day to maintain a fresh and humid microclimate. In winter, the temperature gradually drops, and the number of watering should be reduced. Although spring taro likes warm and humid, it has a strong adaptability to the dry indoor environment in the north in winter. When potting or repotting, put some hoof horn pieces or oil residue at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer, and then apply liquid fertilizer (such as thin cake fertilizer water, etc.) once a month. In winter, apply less or no fertilizer.

　　Reproduction: For home cultivation, division is often used. When the tillers sprouting from the base grow up and have adventitious roots, they can be divided and planted separately in combination with repotting. The top of the stem can also be cut off in spring to promote axillary buds and use them as propagation materials. This method has a higher propagation coefficient.

　　To make the plant compact, you can set up a support to guide it or take advantage of the new leaves' phototropism and rotate the flowerpot so that the palms of the new leaves face the sun.

 

In spring, summer and autumn, it can be placed near the east or north windowsill, and in winter, it can be placed in the south window. If it is placed in a dark environment for a long time, it will not only cause the creeping stems to grow too long, the internodes to become longer, and the plant shape to become sparse, but also the yellow and white stripes on the leaves will become smaller and lighter, or even disappear completely and fade to green.

The green radish likes moisture. It is advisable to water it regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist. Avoid drying the soil, otherwise it will easily cause yellow leaves and poor plant shape. If water is too much, it will cause waterlogging and withered leaves. Especially in winter when the room temperature is low, you should pay more attention to controlling watering. In summer, while watering fully, you should also pay attention to spraying water on the leaves frequently. In winter, the climate is dry, and you also need to spray the leaves with warm water every 4 to 5 days to wash away the dust on the leaves to keep the leaves bright and green.

For potted green radish, you should choose fertile, loose, well-drained leaf mold, preferably slightly acidic.

The green radish is extremely shade-tolerant and can be placed in a sunny place indoors all year round. In a dimly lit room, it should be moved to a brighter environment every half a month to recover for a period of time, otherwise the internodes will easily grow and the leaves will become smaller.

Placement: Camellia should be placed in a warm, humid, ventilated and light-permeable place. It should be exposed to sufficient sunlight in spring and shaded in summer. If it is placed on the balcony, it will be killed by the sun if you are not careful.

Watering: The soil of camellia bonsai should be kept moist, but not too wet, to prevent it from being dry and wet. Generally, it can be watered more in spring to facilitate germination and shoot growth; in summer, water it in the morning and evening, and it is best to spray water on the leaves to make the leaves wet. Do not use quick water to pour directly or fill it up, and do not use hot water. Avoid watering when the temperature is high around noon; water in autumn and water in moderation; in winter, water it around noon, and spray water every two or three days.

Fertilization: Camellia likes fertilizer. When potting, you should pay attention to putting basal fertilizer in the potting soil, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. The fertilizers used include decomposed bone meal, hair, chicken feathers, rice husk ash, poultry manure, and superphosphate. It is not advisable to fertilize too much at ordinary times. Generally, apply 2 to 3 times of thin fertilizer water in April and May after flowering, and apply a slightly concentrated water fertilizer once in November in autumn. When using fertilizer, pay attention to the proportion of phosphorus fertilizer to promote the abundance and color of flowers.

Pruning: Camellia grows slowly, so excessive pruning is not recommended. Generally, you can prune away the long branches that affect the tree shape, as well as diseased and insect-infested branches and weak branches. If there are too many flower buds on each branch, you can thin out the flowers to leave only 1-2 and keep a certain distance between them. The rest should be removed as soon as possible to avoid nutrient consumption. In addition, you should also remove the flowers that are about to wither in time, which can also reduce nutrient consumption, so that the plant can grow healthily and form new flower buds.

Repotting: Camellia bonsai can be repotted once every 1-2 years. The new pot should be one size larger than the old one to facilitate the expansion and development of the root system. The best time to repot is in spring or April, but autumn is also an option. When changing the soil, remove some of the hardened old soil and replace it with fertile and loose new soil, and add basal fertilizer.

Pest and disease control: The main diseases of camellia are black mold and anthracnose, which can be controlled by spraying 0.5 degree Bordeaux liquid. The main insect pest is the tea moth, which can be controlled by cutting off the insect tips, usually from April to June.

Cycas revoluta likes warm and humid environment, but cannot tolerate severe cold; it likes sunlight and tolerates partial shade; it grows slowly, and its life span can be more than 200 years. It is suitable for growing in well-drained, loose and fertile sandy loam.

When watering a potted cycad, the soil should not be too wet for a newly potted cycad. The soil should be neither dry nor wet, but kept properly dry to prevent root rot. Increase the amount of watering after the new leaves are stretched out. In summer, which is a season of vigorous growth, you can water it a little more, once a day. After autumn, the growth gradually slows down, and you should also pay attention to controlling the amount of watering. Avoid water accumulation in the pot during the rainy season. When the new leaves are unfolded, the withered and yellow leaves should be cut off to maintain the plant's graceful appearance.

To control the length of new leaves, try not to water or fertilize within a week when new leaves are about to sprout. When all the pinnate leaves are released and all the new leaves are fully grown and fixed, apply thin liquid fertilizer every half a month or so, preferably alum fertilizer water, to keep the leaves dark green and more shiny. New leaves are very sensitive to light, so you should often turn the direction of the flower pot, 180 degrees every 3 to 5 days, so that it receives light evenly and grows evenly on all sides. However, shade should be provided at noon in midsummer to prevent the scorching sun from burning the new leaves. 

For open-field planting, it is advisable to dig large ridges, add soil and apply garbage fertilizer, poultry and livestock manure as base fertilizer. Generally, artificial watering is not required and less fertilizer should be applied.

When the temperature is high, dry and ventilation is poor, the leaves are easily damaged by scale insects. To prevent and control them, you can use a brush to brush them off or spray them with 1000 times diluted 50% oxydemeton-methyl emulsion, 50% long-acting phosphorus or 80% DDT emulsion.

Especially the larvae of the Cycad Butterfly, which have eaten the leaves of the plant for years. Now we finally know how to prevent and control them.

The Cycad butterfly belongs to the family Lycaenidae in the order Lepidoptera. The adult is about 13 mm long and has a wingspan of about 35 mm. Its antennae are club-shaped, its forewings are grayish white and nearly triangular with wavy and circular markings, and its hindwings have white caudal ridges. Its larvae are oblate and cylindrical, and the mature larvae are nearly pink with a dorsal line.

Prevention and control should be carried out before the core leaves of the iron tree come out and unfold. The pesticide can be sprayed with 800 times diluted 40% cypermethrin or 2000 times diluted 20% cypermethrin.

Physical control: When the new feather leaves just emerge, cover them with gauze to prevent female adults from laying eggs on them, or kill the adults manually.

Use indicator plants for timely prevention and control: If ants are found on the ball flowers or feather leaves, it means that there is a high possibility of harm from the larvae of this butterfly. Check immediately and use pesticides to prevent and control it in time.

 

   (1) Location. Pomegranates prefer a sunny and warm environment. They will bloom only if there is more than 4 hours of sunshine every day. In summer, the soil in the pot should be kept moist. Pomegranate trees are not afraid of the sun. Some people do not understand this characteristic of pomegranates and move them to a shaded place during the hot noon. This is one of the important reasons for not flowering or bearing fruit or poor growth. Pomegranates are cold-resistant. Ground-planted pomegranates can overwinter outdoors in Beijing.

    (2) Watering. Pomegranates are drought-tolerant. They need to be watered frequently during the summer growth period (less watering is needed during the flowering and fruiting periods, as too much water can easily cause flowers and fruits to fall off). Keep the soil moist, but not too dry or too wet. Pomegranates are afraid of waterlogging. During continuous rainy days, the pot should be turned upside down or moved to a sheltered place to prevent water from accumulating in the pot. During the winter dormancy period, water less frequently, as long as the soil is moist.

    (3) Fertilization. Pomegranates like fertilizer. In addition to applying basal fertilizer when planting, apply decomposed liquid fertilizer every half a month during the leaf expansion period, bud formation period, and fruit growth period after flowering. After bud formation, apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate or liquid fertilizer fermented with poultry manure twice (with an interval of about one week in between), which can make the flowers bright and the fruits plump. But do not apply fertilizer during the flowering period.

    (4) Shaping. Pomegranates have strong germination ability and can produce new branches several times a year. Generally, strong new branches grown in spring can form fruiting mother branches. In the spring of the following year, short new branches grown from the terminal buds or axillary buds on these fruiting mother branches often bloom, and the flowers of the terminal buds are the most fruit-bearing. Steep branches grown in the same year or new branches grown from perennial old branches generally do not bloom in the same year, so this feature should be taken into consideration when shaping. Branches grown in summer and autumn are difficult to form fruiting mother branches and should be cut off in time. Pomegranate bonsai shaping is often carried out before budding in spring. Steep branches, upright branches, overly dense branches and thin branches should be cut off, but attention should be paid to retaining those strong fruiting mother branches. From the branches pruned in spring, some with a certain posture can be found and pruned for cuttings. After the branches survive, they can be placed in fine pots for viewing in the third year. If the mother branch is too long and affects the shape, you can cut off about 1/3 of the branch length, but do not prune it heavily, especially do not cut off all the branches grown last year, otherwise, it will be difficult for this pomegranate to bloom and bear fruit that year.

    (5) Prevent diseases and pests. Pomegranates are susceptible to pests such as aphids, scale insects, loopers, and borers, which should be prevented and controlled in a timely manner.

 

　　Jasmine is easier to plant in the ground than in pots. How to take good care of jasmine? If you want the jasmine flowers to be large, white, fragrant and lasting, potted jasmine needs more effort in management than ground-planted jasmine. You should pay attention to the following points:

　　1. Sufficient sunlight. If there is no direct sunlight for more than six hours a day, it is difficult to grow jasmine well. It must be in a sunny environment to flourish, the flowers will be white, fragrant, and the flowering period will be long, and it will bloom.

　　2. Jasmine likes warmth, just like people like warmth; the ideal temperature is 20 to 29 degrees Celsius, and it is best not to be lower than 14 degrees, and it must be avoided from cold winds, otherwise it will shed leaves and wither easily.

　　3. Jasmine likes air circulation. There must be enough space for planting jasmine, and avoid cramped and stuffy conditions.

　　4. The planting material should be loose and have good drainage performance. Do not stick or accumulate water. Suggestion: 6 parts of leaf mold, 2 parts of ordinary garden soil and 2 parts of sandy soil.

　　5. Jasmine likes fertilizer, but not concentrated fertilizer. Fertilization should be frequent but not excessive. The planting soil must have basal fertilizer. You can add a small amount of bone meal, shells, egg shells or dry animal bones to the deep roots as basal fertilizer. Then apply a small amount of bean dregs or peanuts once a month. Quick-acting fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once in spring every year, and quick-acting fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied in summer. After the flowers fall, you can apply fish essence fertilizer (organic fertilizer) once, which has a miraculous effect on strong plants and flowering.

　　6. Jasmine likes moisture, avoids dryness and soaking, and daily watering should adhere to the principle of moderation. In southern China, watering can be done every day or every other day in summer and autumn, and should not be watered unless it is dry in spring and cold in winter.

　　7. Proper pruning of jasmine can keep the plant strong, blooming and leafy. The flowers must be removed after they bloom, and two-thirds of the branch that has bloomed must be cut off, because the old branches of jasmine do not bloom, and only by pruning them will new branches emerge and bloom more flowers.

　　8. Jasmine can be propagated by cuttings, cut grafting, grafting and layering.

 

It likes sunshine and warmth, but is not cold-resistant. It is suitable to be placed in sunny courtyards, roof gardens, and south-facing and west-facing balconies. When the lowest temperature in winter drops to 5℃, it should be moved indoors and placed in a sunny place on the windowsill for maintenance. It can safely overwinter if the room temperature is kept above 5℃. It can be taken out of the room when the temperature is stable above 10℃ in the next spring.

There is no need for shade in summer, and the stronger the sunlight, the more and brighter the flowers will be, but the water supply must be sufficient. It is also shade-tolerant and requires loose, well-drained, humus-rich, acidic soil.

 

Echeveria is very strong and drought-resistant. You don't have to worry about not watering it for two consecutive months, because each of its leaves is like a reservoir, and the water is reserved for use in droughts. You can also check whether its leaf flesh is full. If it is shriveled, it means it needs watering.

It likes plenty of sunlight and is not afraid of scorching sun. The more it is exposed to the sun, the easier it is to bloom and the more beautiful the plant shape will be. It can tolerate partial shade but not too much shade, otherwise the leaves will be small and sparse, the stems will be long and weak, and the flowers will be few and colorless.

It is not selective about soil, but in fertile and loose soil, its leaves are thick and dense, and its flowers are colorful. It is drought-resistant and cold-resistant, and it can survive freezing at -10℃.

 

Water: It likes moisture. Water once a day during the growing season to keep the soil moist and spray water on the leaves. Reduce the amount of water in winter.

Fertilizer: Apply liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

Soil: Any soil.

Temperature: The suitable temperature for growth is 10-25℃, and the wintering temperature is around 5℃.

Light: Prefers partial shade, avoids strong sunlight.

 

It is not resistant to scorching sun exposure, but slightly tolerant to shade. It needs to be placed under a shade shed in summer. It needs a lot of fertilizer and water during the growing period, especially before and after flowering and during the flowering period. Adequate water supply in summer to keep the pot soil moist; apply thin liquid fertilizer once a week, and apply superphosphate once before the flower stalk is pulled out. Cut off the pedicels in time after flowering. Move the potted flowers indoors in early September or late October and place them in a dry place with a temperature of about 10°C. No watering is required and fertilization is stopped. It likes soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, and well-drained. It is more tolerant to saline-alkali soil. Plant the bulbs in a 20-25 cm pot in March and April. It should not be too shallow, so that the bulbs cannot be seen. Water it fully after planting and place it in the shade. Ground-planted Crinum orchids should be transplanted once every 2-3 years to keep the plants strong and blooming luxuriantly, otherwise they will not grow vigorously and bloom sparsely.

1. Plant in a large pot and deep. In order to meet the nutrients required by Crinum orchid during its growth period, it should be planted in a larger pot and deep to conserve water and soil and provide for the development of the root system.

2. Water and fertilizer management. During the normal growth period of Crinum orchid, from May to September, water it every day in an appropriate amount, and water it when it is dry and wet. Fertilizer water made by fermenting oil cake residue and black alum (ferrous sulfate) should be applied every 7 to 10 days. The concentration should be light first and then concentrated. Stop applying in winter.

3. Remove bad buds. During the vigorous growth period of Crinum orchid, bad buds often grow around the rhizomes. In order to ensure that the plant is upright, the rhizomes are neat, and the whole plant grows normally, the bad buds should be removed in time.

4. Sunlight and shade. In order to make the leaves green, beautiful and neat without affecting the light, the Crinum orchid should be properly shaded in the hot summer. It should receive full sunlight from 7 am to 12 pm, and a shade shed should be built from 12 pm to 3 pm. It likes warmth and humidity, and is slightly shade-tolerant. It is salt-alkali-tolerant. It is not cold-tolerant and needs to overwinter indoors at a temperature not lower than 5℃ in winter.

 

1. Location 
The location of orchids is very important, as it directly affects the growth and development of orchids. Orchids are generally placed outdoors in spring, summer, and autumn (in the shade in summer), and indoors in winter. It is best to have open space and humid air outdoors. There should be sufficient light indoors, preferably facing south. This is conducive to the growth of orchids. It is best to place orchid pots on wooden racks or tables, not on the ground. 

2. Most shade 
orchids are semi-shade plants. Most species are afraid of direct sunlight and need proper shade. In early and mid-April, orchids can be exposed to more sunlight to promote their growth. After late April, they need to be properly shaded. Summer orchids and autumn orchids with upright leaves are best placed on the south side of the shade to allow them to receive more sunlight; autumn orchids and spring orchids with drooping leaves are best exposed to two hours of sunlight every day. From June to September, shade should be provided early every day. If reed curtains are used, dense curtains or two layers of sparse curtains can be used. After October, the weather turns cooler and the sunlight is weaker, so the shading of the vegetables can be postponed, but it is still necessary to pay attention to shade work around noon.

 3. Rain protection: 
Orchids can be exposed to light rain, but should avoid mildew, showers or continuous rain. In the mildew season, special rain protection should be done. From late June to mid-September, there are frequent showers. If the rain is short and the rainfall is small, you should water more in the evening to let the heat in the pot out, otherwise the orchid will be damaged or even rot and die. If the sun comes out after the shower, you need to shade it in time to prevent the rising heat from the ground from affecting the growth of the orchid. 
The rainy season is the stage when orchids are sprouting leaf buds. If the pot soil is too warm, it will cause poor growth of leaf buds or cause diseases. At this time, you can sprinkle a small amount of plant ash to adjust the humidity of the pot soil. 

4. Watering 
the flowers: "Dry orchids and wet chrysanthemums" is a proverb that makes sense. Generally speaking, orchids are best kept eight-tenths dry and two-tenths wet. If they are too wet, the flowers will easily rot and die. The principle of watering should be: water when dry, stop when wet, and keep the flowers slightly dry. When mastering the specifics, you should generally pay attention to the following: water more during the growing season (May to the end of June), water less during the leaf bud period (about March to April) and the flowering period (about March to April), and water less or no during the dormant period (winter). If the flowerpot is large and the orchid plant is small, water less; if the flowerpot is small and the plant is large, water more. Water more when the climate is hot and dry, and water less or no when the climate is cold and humid (such as the rainy season). If the orchids newly dug from the mountains have sparse roots or many broken roots, water less to make the pot soil a little dry, so as to prevent root rot and facilitate the growth of new leaves. 

The ancients said: "Don't let it dry in autumn and don't let it get wet in winter", which is a good summary of how to water spring and summer orchids. However, in some areas in the north, due to the excessively dry climate in winter and early spring, orchids should not be too dry. 

Watering time: In summer and autumn, water after sunset to dry the orchid leaves before nightfall. You can also water in the early morning. In winter and spring, water before and after sunrise. Do not water with cold water after being exposed to the sun, so as to avoid lowering the soil temperature, affecting the root system's water absorption, and disturbing the physiological balance. Do not water too much to prevent diseases.

Watering method: Water should be poured from the pot, and not into the flower buds to avoid causing rot. 

Previous generations have summarized good experience in watering orchids. For example, Yu Zhao proposed different watering methods according to the 24 solar terms in "Du Men Yi Lan Ji". The following is an excerpt for reference. However, two points should be noted: first, "Du Men Yi Lan Ji" is based on the climate of Beijing; second, the months in the text refer to the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, such as "the first month" is actually the second month of the Gregorian calendar. 

January: Orchids like moisture and hate humidity, like dryness and hate dryness. Watering should be done in the morning this month, insecticide and sterilization should be done once each, and foliar fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times. 
Note: Avoid cold winds and do not apply fertilizer this month. 

February: Spring buds sprout, sterilize and kill insects every ten days, and apply thin fertilizers in between. 
Note: Avoid excessive fertilizer concentration to damage buds and leaves. 

March: Spring equinox, the weather is getting warmer. Cut off the branches and dead leaves that have been seen as soon as possible, and fertilize the leaves and the pot soil alternately, with light fertilizer being preferred. This month is the best time to divide orchids and repot them. 
Note: Add organic fertilizer, increase lighting, and kill insects and sterilize. 

April: Rainy season, sterilization and disease prevention are the most important things this month. Spray the leaves 1-2 times to remove dust from the leaves to facilitate photosynthesis. 
Note: Prevent excessive rain and high temperature damage, and let the orchids receive more sunlight. 

May: As the sun gets stronger, you should shade the plants appropriately and apply more fertilizer, but not too much. If you need to repot the plants, do it on a cloudy day. 
Note: Prevent insects from appearing on new buds. 

June: Summer heat begins to set in, and the white heart orchid and four-season orchid bloom day by day. Spray and water the leaves 1-2 times in the morning and evening. Pest control and sterilization should be carried out in the cool evening, and apply more thin fertilizer. 
Note: It is not advisable to divide and repot at will. 

July: Lesser Heat, Greater Heat season, water should be sprayed in the morning and evening, shade should be increased, organic fertilizer should be added, and watering should be done at night. Place a basin of water between orchid pots and sprinkle water on the wetland to cool down. 
Note: To prevent the orchid from being damaged by extreme heat, ventilation should be ensured. 

August: Starting from autumn, add organic fertilizer, disinfect and sterilize, and water at night. This month is the peak flowering period of chypre and four-season orchids, and nutrition should be supplemented after flowering. 
Note: Avoid heatstroke and cool down. 

September: The summer heat is at its peak, so you should spray more water and use normal dosage to kill insects and sterilize. The stalks of black orchids, spring orchids, and cymbidium orchids have emerged, so protect the buds. 
Note: Orchids should not be exposed to the sun outdoors.

 
October: Increase the amount of light, increase the number of watering as needed, fertilize 2-3 times except for flowering plants, change pots and materials before the end of this month, spray and wash orchid leaves 1-2 times, and remove dust from the leaves. 
Note: Strengthen sterilization to prevent orchids from overwintering with diseases. 

November: When early frost comes, stop fertilizing, water and spray in the morning, kill insects and sterilize 2-3 times. 
Note: Orchids that are afraid of cold should be gradually moved indoors. 

December: Orchids enter hibernation, avoid repotting and fertilizing. Kill insects and sterilize 2-3 times, and water in the morning on sunny days. 
Note: Prevent cold and frost.
Fertilizing orchids depends on the growth of orchids. Fertilizers can be applied to those that are growing vigorously and without diseases, but no fertilizer or only a small amount of fertilizer should be applied to those that are growing poorly. Do not use fertilizer on orchids that have just been dug from the mountains before new roots grow. Fertilizers can be applied only when new roots grow vigorously after 1-2 years of cultivation, otherwise they are prone to withering and death.

1. Sunlight: It requires sufficient sunlight. If the cactus is placed indoors for a long time, it will not bloom without sunlight. The cactus needs a warmer environment. If the ambient temperature does not reach above 20 degrees, it will not bloom.

2. Watering: Do not water too much, which will make the soil too wet. It should be dry rather than wet. Especially in the dormant period of winter and summer, watering should be restrained.

3. Fertilization: Although cactus can tolerate barrenness and drought, it is not easy to bloom in the case of drought and lack of fertilizer. Therefore, appropriate water and fertilizer should be given during cultivation, and thin and well-rotted cake fertilizer should be applied every 10 days to half a month during the growing season. Do not apply too much fertilizer, as it will also cause no flowering.

4. Micro-environment: Pay attention to creating a local environment with suitable temperature and high humidity for the cactus. For example, you can use plastic film to make a closed shed on the windowsill and place the cactus in it for maintenance. It will not only grow faster, but also have bright colors and be easier to bloom.

The flower pots can be placed on the balcony with plenty of sunshine and good air circulation. Before the frost falls every year, they can be covered with plastic sheds to safely overwinter and avoid frost damage. After the Spring Festival and before the Qingming Festival, because the bulbs are large and have thorns, it is not easy to change the pots. Remove the old soil and replace it with 15% chicken manure; 10% bean cake, 10% old lime, 5% plant ash, 5% sawdust, 15% coarse sand or honeycomb coal slag, and 40% garden soil. During the growth period, add fertilizer and water in time, use bean cake liquid and fishy fertilizer water as topdressing, add 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate root spray, or apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry.

It likes a warm and humid growing environment and has strong temperature adaptability. The optimum temperature for growth is 15-30℃, and not lower than 5℃ in winter; keep the pot soil moist; spray the leaves with appropriate moisture when the air is dry; apply a balanced formula slow-release fertilizer once every three months.

It is better to shade the plant and avoid direct sunlight. Indoor cultivation should be placed in a place with sufficient light.

 

Asparagus fern likes warm, ventilated, semi-shaded and semi-humid environment. It is not cold-resistant and avoids direct sunlight. It is suitable for growing in sandy soil rich in humus and with good drainage.
