Temperature: the ground beetle is drought resistant. If the maintenance temperature is above zero, it can grow normally. Watering: it is drought resistant and does not need too much watering. In dry weather, it can be watered twice or three times a month. Fertilization: it is barren resistant. During the growth period, it can apply light fertilizer once a month. Lighting: it is more shade resistant and does not need deliberate lighting. Normal lighting is OK. 。

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: it is cold and heat-resistant, and can be cultured in most areas of China. The maintenance temperature is guaranteed to be between 0 ℃ and 30 ℃, and it can grow normally, but if the maintenance temperature is maintained at about 20 ℃, it will grow better, because the best maintenance temperature is at 20 ℃.

2. Watering: there is plenty of rain in the south. It needs to be drained during the rainy season. From July to September, the weather is warm and the soil is prone to drought. It needs to make up water for the plant. According to the growth state of the plant, make up water once a week or two. The amount of watering should not be too much. The standard is that the surface is wet without water, and dry without cracking.

3. Fertilization: it belongs to the plant with low consumption of fertilizer and has little demand for nutrients. Before planting, you need to mix the base fertilizer in the soil. 30 days after planting, you need to use organic fertilizer once for the soil. The consumption of nutrients in the flower bud period and fruit bearing period increases. You can apply compound fertilizer once a month.

4. Light: it does not have high demand for light. It needs natural light in spring and winter, and shade in summer and autumn. The daily illumination is guaranteed to be about five hours.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Reproduction: cutting method can be used for breeding ground. Before and after the Qingming Festival, select the plants with good growth, divide them into 10 * 10 small squares with a shovel, transplant them with soil according to the specifications of 30 * 30. When the light is shining, astigmatism is needed, and after the planting, root water is needed.

2. Overwintering: the ground roots of the year are not long, mainly creeping roots. Their frost resistance is weak. When the temperature is lower than minus four degrees, the plants will be frostbitten, unable to survive safely. Therefore, a layer of plastic film should be laid on the surface of the plants to prevent freezing before the low temperature comes.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pest: at present, the artificially cultivated plants have not been attacked by insect pest, so there is generally no need for drug control.

2. Disease: it has a very strong survival ability. In general, it will not cause disease, but in case of emergency, it needs to be sprayed with carbendazim every month.

4. Other issues

1. Edible: its fruit is a kind of berry, rich in vitamin C, and can also be made into a calcium supplement.

2. Other functions: it can not only be used, but also extract pigment for food processing. It is a natural pigment.
