Fertilizing
The demand for fertilizers is small, but proper fertilization is required to ensure its growth and beauty. Fertilizers are generally applied every 10 days, diluted, and potassium phosphate is applied every 15 days during flowering。
06
Cut
If you sow cutting-flower-type chicken crowns and want to harvest them as cut flowers, these chicken crowns need to be grown in such a way that the side buds are removed and only the top buds are left in order to grow a strong and swollen chicken crown. The flowers are trimmed in time to prevent the seeding of nutrients. If seeds are to be collected, some healthy flowers can be left to collect when they mature. After the flowering period of the chicken crown, it is sufficient to let its plant die naturally。

Disease control
Chicken crown flowers are more resistant to disease and pests, but care must also be taken to prevent common fungal diseases such as rota, asymptomas, and dust. If a disease is found to have occurred, it can be sprayed with bordeaux or other microbicides in a timely manner. Care should also be taken to prevent common pests such as aphids and red spiders. If a pest is found, it can be treated with washing powder or other insecticide。
