Multicellular plants have been increasingly favored by plant enthusiasts in recent years due to their unique shapes and low maintenance costs. Qing Sheng Jin, as one of the outstanding multicellular plants, is deeply loved for its plump leaves and elegant plant shape. This article will introduce you to the maintenance methods of Qing Sheng Jin in detail, helping you easily cultivate beautiful Qing Sheng Jin.
LightingQing Sheng Jin enjoys ample sunlight but is not tolerant of intense direct light. During maintenance, it should be placed in an environment with sufficient scattered light. In high summer temperatures, it should be properly shaded to avoid leaf sunburn. According to the "Manual of Multicellular Plant Maintenance," Qing Sheng Jin requires at least 4-6 hours of scattered light every day.
WateringThe watering principle for Qing Sheng Jin is "water when dry and damp when seen," that is, water when the soil surface is dry. When watering, ensure that the water thoroughly penetrates into the soil. Excessive or insufficient watering will affect its growth. In winter, due to lower temperatures, Qing Sheng Jin's growth rate slows down, and the watering frequency should be reduced accordingly.
SoilQing Sheng Jin is suitable for growing in well-drained and highly breathable soil. You can choose special soil for multicellular plants available on the market or prepare it yourself. When preparing the soil, you can mix peat soil,珍珠岩 (perlite), and vermiculite in a ratio of 2:1:1. This type of soil is both breathable and draining, which is beneficial for Qing Sheng Jin's growth.
FertilizingQing Sheng Jin does not require a high demand for fertilizer, but proper fertilizing can promote its growth. During the vigorous growth period, applying a compound fertilizer once a month is sufficient. When fertilizing, avoid letting the fertilizer come into contact with the leaves to prevent leaf burn.
PropagationThe main propagation methods for Qing Sheng Jin are division and leaf insertion. Division is suitable for plants that have been growing for several years. Cut the plant from the root and plant them separately. Leaf insertion is suitable for fast-growing plants. Remove healthy leaves, let the wound dry, and insert them into the soil, keeping the soil moist until new buds grow, and then they can be transplanted.
Pest and Disease ControlQing Sheng Jin has fewer occurrences of pests and diseases, but improper maintenance can still lead to disease. During maintenance, attention should be paid to the following points:
1. Maintain good ventilation for the plant and avoid high humidity;
2. Regularly inspect the plant and deal with pests and diseases promptly;
3. Avoid using chemical pesticides to prevent damage to the plant.
The maintenance of Qing Sheng Jin is not complicated. By mastering knowledge about lighting, watering, soil, fertilizing, propagation, and pest and disease control, you can easily cultivate beautiful Qing Sheng Jin. I hope this article can provide help for your maintenance journey.
