1. Temperature: it likes the warm environment very much. The temperature should not be too low. If the environment temperature is - 1.8 ℃, the plant is directly exposed to the risk of frostbite. Therefore, it can't be directly outdoors in winter. It needs to do a good job in keeping warm, and the warm environment can ensure its survival.
2. Watering: to grow, just keep the soil not too dry. Don't water too much. Especially in rainy season, pay attention not to water accumulation, and do drainage work in time. If there is water accumulation, plant root will soak in water for a long time, which will easily be rotten and affect the growth.
3. Light: it needs enough warm sunshine to grow, so it can grow more healthily, and the color will be greener. It can completely accept the full day light in spring and autumn, and it needs to be properly shaded in summer to prevent the plants from being sunburned.
4. Fertilization: generally, fertilization should be strictly in accordance with its growth, not too much or not. If the plant is relatively small, too much fertilization will directly burn it, so it is necessary to observe its growth, and then determine the amount of fertilization.
1. Propagation: sowing is the main mode of propagation. The best time is in spring. The temperature in spring is suitable, which is the key period of seed germination. Therefore, you can choose spring. After sowing, you should pay attention to receiving normal and warm light, which is conducive to seed germination.
2. Pruning: it hardly needs pruning, because its growth speed is relatively slow, usually it only needs to observe its growth. If there are diseased branches and leaves or poor growing branches, they can be removed directly by hand.
1. Disease: the leaf blight will occur in the high temperature and rainy season. You can use Bordeaux solution to control its damage, or you can cut off the branches and leaves of the disease to prevent it in time.
2. Insect damage: mosquitoes may appear in citronella bushes. Although they do not cause any harm to its growth, some insecticides can be used to control them.
1. Toxicity: no poison, edible, high nutritional value
2. Whether it can be raised at home: Yes, but it needs to ensure its normal growth conditions. In order to let it receive normal light in summer, you can open the window.
