1. Leafhopper

The leafhopper mainly threatens the leaves of coral tree flowers. It gradually sucks the sap from the leaves, causing the plant to lose large amounts of nutrients and wither. When this pest appears on coral tree flowers, many pale mottled spots also appear on the leaves, which you can use to identify it.

2. Carpenter moth

This is an insect of the Cossidae family. In its larval stage it bores into the stems of coral tree flowers, gradually causing its branches to wither and die, so that it cannot bloom normally, and in severe cases even causing the entire plant to wither and die.

Control method: When controlling this pest and disease of coral tree flowers, we can first prune off the bored branches, then use a 100-200 fold dilution of 40% omethoate to spray the plant for control.

Leaf spot disease is a disease caused by fungi. Its peak period is in spring and autumn each year, so everyone must pay extra attention during this time. When coral tree flowers develop this disease, many brown circular spots appear on the leaves, and over time they gradually spread to the petioles and stems, finally causing the plant to gradually shrivel and die.

When it occurs, many small black spots appear on the trunk, and over time they gradually spread to the lower part, finally causing the plant to gradually rot.

This disease mainly harms the leaves of coral tree flowers. In the early stage of onset, the leaves become distorted and yellow streaks appear. Later, irregular necrotic spots appear on the leaves. In severe cases it may even prevent coral tree flowers from blooming.

Control method: To prevent and control this disease, you must do every step well from the start of cultivation.

What Is the Flower Language of Coral Tree Flowers? The Legend of Coral Tree Flowers / Prosperity and Vitality

Coral tree flower is a flowering plant with very high ornamental value, and it can be seen in many cities in our country. Like many flowering plants, it also has its own flower language. What is the flower language of coral tree flowers? What legends are there about coral tree flowers? Below, the editor will walk you through it.

I. The Flower Language of Coral Tree Flowers: Prosperity and Vitality, Auspiciousness and Wealth

As early as the Five Dynasties period in our country, the jiedushi Liu Congxiao, in order to expand the city walls of Quanzhou, once planted many coral tree flowers along the city. Later, when the coral tree flowers grew up, their flowers were red like fire, and thus they became a local feature famous at home and abroad. Later this plant was even designated the city flower of Quanzhou, so the flower language of coral tree flowers also represents prosperity and vitality, auspiciousness and wealth.

II. The Legend of Coral Tree Flowers

Legend one

In the old customs of some places in our country, people once used the flowering situation of coral trees to predict the harvest: if the flowering period in the first year was relatively late and the flowers were luxuriant, then they believed that the coming year would surely have a bumper harvest of all grains and prosperity of all livestock, otherwise the opposite; there is also a saying that if coral trees sprout first and then bloom each year, then that year will be abundant, otherwise the opposite. So the coral tree is also called "Ruitong" (auspicious tree).

It represents good fortune and happiness. Because of this, a small debate even arose during the Song Dynasty! One side of the debate was Ding Wei, who came to Quanzhou as a lianfangshi. He very much hoped to see the green leaves of the coral tree first, so that Quanzhou would have a ripe and plentiful harvest, so he once wrote this poem: "I heard the villagers speak of the coral tree, leaves first and then flowers foretell a plentiful year. Now that I have come here, I worry deeply for the people, and love only the green, not the red."

The other side of the debate was Wang Shipeng, who came to Quanzhou as the prefect. He held the same wish as Ding Wei, but he did not believe in that set of prophecies about flowers first or buds first. For this reason he also wrote a poem: "At first I see the branches thick with a myriad of green, then suddenly I am startled by fire umbrellas about to burn the sky. Whether flowers first or flowers later, the year is ripe either way; do not say people today do not love the red." Although there was a debate, what passed down among people was a much-told tale. Truly lovable public servants and lovable flowers.

Legend two

It is said that during the Five Dynasties, the jiedushi, in order to expand the city walls of Quanzhou, once planted coral trees all around the city. Later, the coral trees grew with luxuriant flowers and leaves, red like fire, and became a major feature of Quanzhou, and Quanzhou became famous at home and abroad because of this. Therefore, the coral tree flower became a symbol of Quanzhou and was designated the city flower of Quanzhou. Its meaning is: prosperity and vitality, auspiciousness and wealth, full of people's beautiful hopes for the future.

The people of Quanzhou love coral tree flowers and regard them as an "auspicious tree." Literati of past dynasties also left many fine lines chanting coral tree flowers. There is a poem that says: "At first I see the branches thick with a myriad of green, then suddenly I am startled by fire umbrellas about to burn the sky." This shows the magnificent scene when coral trees bloom. At places such as Kaiyuan Temple and the Huaqiao Building in Quanzhou, quite a few coral tree flowers are planted, and the beautiful city of Quanzhou is set off among the green leaves and red flowers of the coral trees.
