Culture method of Lycopodium nutans

Although chrysanthemum needs watering in maintenance, it can not resist water dampness, so it is more afraid of rain, especially when blooming, which will lead to bud falling and affect ornamental value. In the normal growth stage, if it rains heavily for several days, the water will make the roots wet and rotten, which will lead to death in serious cases. If it is a short period of light rain, as long as the soil is loose, ventilated and drained, there are normal drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, which has less impact on the plant.

1. Soil:

Lycopodium nutans is best cultivated in acidic soil, which should be loose, fertile and well-drained so that it can grow better.

2. Illumination:

Lycopodium nutans should receive sufficient light during its growth period to promote the growth of plants.But not strong light, if the light is strong, should be appropriate shade, so as not to sunburn plants.

3. Watering:

Lycopodium nutans is not tolerant to drought and waterlogging, so it does not need to be watered frequently.Do not water too much, resulting in water accumulation, otherwise it will lead to root waterlogging.

4. Temperature:

Lycopodium nutans is not cold-resistant and likes warm climate.The suitable temperature during the growth period is about 25 .In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 0 C to avoid frostbite.

5. Precautions:

1. Disease:

The main diseases of L. nutans were stem blight and leaf spot.They can damage the leaves and rhizomes of Lycopodium nutans, and seriously cause plant death.Attention should be paid to ventilation during cultivation, and carbendazim solution can be sprayed 3-5 times to prevent and control diseases.

2. Pest:

Pine caterpillars are the main species of L. nutans, which feed on the leaves of L. nutans and seriously damage the normal growth of plants.If pests are found, they can be sprayed with trichlorfon or controlled by trapping adults.
