There are many diseases of Shea butter, the common ones are anthracnose, scab, Cercospora spot and small hole shell rot. Among them, anthracnose can damage fruits and make them grow sunken round spots, which need to be controlled by low temperature storage. Scab disease can also have spots, but will not affect the quality of pulp, can be treated with Bordeaux mixture. Cercospora leaf spot can cause fruit cracking, which allows other pathogens to invade, and can be controlled by azoxystrobin.

1. Potted orchid planting steps

Seedling selection: Divide the orchid plant into several clumps, with about three seedlings in one clump.The selected seedlings should be high and low, long and short, tender and slightly older.In this way, the layering of orchid plants will be better.

Pot selection: You need to choose a flowerpot with a diameter of about 10 cm and a slight depth, about medium height.And prepare a prepared orchid soil.

Cushion pots: Cushion pots are required prior to filling the soil.You can put a tile at the bottom of the basin to cover the drainage hole, and then put bricks, tiles and so on one by one, leaving some gaps.The cushion pot is about one half to one third of the height of the flowerpot.

Upper potting: Upper potting is usually carried out in spring.When potting, directly put the orchid plant into the flowerpot, let the roots and branches and leaves naturally unfold, then hold the plant with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand, and gently shake the orchid pot, so that the root system of the plant and the soil are closely attached.Finally, compact the soil by hand, but be careful not to hurt the roots.After planting, a layer of pebbles or moss can be laid on the surface of the pot soil, which can not only enhance the beauty, but also adjust the moisture.

2. Precautions

After the orchid is paved, it needs to be watered thoroughly once to moisten the soil and provide sufficient water for the plant to restore growth.And then move that orchid basin to a shaded place for maintenance.
