Key points and techniques for breeding agave
1. Soil: Tequila does not have strict requirements for soil, but it is better to use loose, fertile, and well drained loam soil. When potted, it is usually mixed with humus soil and coarse sand.
2. Watering: Tequila has a very strong nature and does not have strict requirements for water. However, sufficient water must be provided during its growth period to ensure good growth. In addition, during the winter dormancy period, it is not advisable to irrigate agave plants with too much water, as it can easily cause root rot.
3. Sunshine: Tequila prefers light and should be kept outside to receive sunlight. However, for flower and leaf varieties, appropriate shade is needed in summer to maintain a fresh and tender color. In winter, if the light in the location is dim, it should be kept low temperature, not watered, and kept dry, otherwise it will rot. Spring should immediately restore sunlight.4. Temperature: The suitable growth temperature for agave is 15-25 ℃, and it grows best at 10-16 ℃ at night. Cold and dry winter is most beneficial for its growth, and the wintering temperature should be maintained above 5 ℃.
5. Fertilization: Tequila has a strong adaptability to the environment, and even if it grows on relatively poor soil, it will not affect the development of the plant. However, a fertile medium will still make agave grow better. It is advisable to fertilize once a year, and do not spray fertilizer frequently, otherwise it may cause fertilizer damage.
6. Insect infestation: Tequila often suffers from leaf spot disease, anthracnose, and gray mold, and can be sprayed with a 1000 fold solution of 50% disinfectant wettable powder. Harmful to shell insects, spray 80% dichlorvos emulsion 1000 times solution to kill.
Tequila is a common foliage plant and is also a common plant variety in home greenery. That's all for the cultivation methods of tequila. It can be seen that tequila cultivation is relatively simple, and I believe everyone can also cultivate vibrant tequila to decorate their homes.
