When this kind of plant blooms, people give it the name because the flower buds are bright yellow, the petals are like the chrysalis to be feathered, and its branches are also very soft. The plant, native to various parts of Brazil, was later widely grown in the tropics as an ornamental plant. Because its flowers are big and beautiful, people usually plant it for greening and beautifying the courtyard.

I. cutting treatment of plants

Because the propagation of this kind of plant is usually carried out by cutting. Generally, it is selected in spring and autumn to cut mature branches, which are about 12 cm to 18 cm long. The requirement of cutting is that there should be 2 to 4 stem nodes, which should be timely and obliquely inserted on the loose seedbed after cutting.

2. Preparation of plant cutting seedbed

The soil of the seedbed is better to be able to prepare sapropel, clayey loam and sandy soil according to the proportion of 5:3:2. After preparing the soil, you need to dig it with a rake, then you need to water the seedbed, you need to evenly water it, and then you can apply the base fertilizer, because this kind of plant needs a lot of water and fertilizer, so the amount must be sufficient.

3. Temperature requirements for cutting of plants

Its favorite growing temperature is 20 ℃ to 30 ℃. If the temperature is even lower than 20 ℃, cutting and rooting will be more difficult, and it will be much slower. Relatively, if the temperature is even higher than 30 ℃, the upper and lower cut wounds will be easily infected by bacteria, and then they will rot. with the temperature rising, the degree of rot will deepen. And if the temperature decreases after cuttage, we should take proper measures to keep warm. We should prepare the thin film to hold the flowerpot after cutting. If the temperature is too high, we should pay attention to shade and cool down, cover more than fifty percent of sunshine and below eighty percent, at the same time, add water to spray, and spray 3 to 5 times a day.

4. Requirements for humidity of plant cutting

The water demand of this plant is very large, so the humidity of its growing environment is better to be over 75%, and to make the branches take root, it is necessary to ensure that its fresh and tender can be photosynthetic before the branches grow heel and then emit enough substances. No branches that grow out of roots can not absorb water to ensure the balance of moisture in the body, so we should artificially spray to reduce evaporation of water.
