The cultivation method of Yulong Guanyin
Today, I will introduce some knowledge about the succulent plant Yulong Guanyin, including its cultivation method. It's some very good tips and knowledge, I suggest you bookmark it!
There are plant lovers who like succulents and have bought Yulong Guanyin, but they don't know how to cultivate it. This article quotes the growth diary of Yulong Guanyin succulent plants by Ermu, elaborating on the cultivation method of Yulong Guanyin for plant lovers to refer to.
Firstly, let me explain that Yulong Guanyin is just a trade name, which is convenient for everyone to search. There are actually quite a few disputes and issues in the naming of succulent plants in Chinese. Since I am not a scholar, I won't delve into this. Anyhow, it definitely belongs to the Echeveria genus and its habits are similar to those of the Black Priest, but each variety does have its own personality and characteristics.
Yulong Guanyin has a growing season in autumn, winter, and spring. Although it is a bit colder in winter, it will still grow significantly as long as it maintains 10 degrees. In summer, when the temperature is too high, it will show obvious signs of dormancy, with the leaves completely rolled up, which is much better than "Black Priest锦绣" and "Black Priest original species".
The daily maintenance of Yulong Guanyin is quite simple. At the beginning, it is necessary to maintain about 3 hours of sunlight every day. After growing long branches, it's fine to expose it to less sunlight. As for watering, at least once a week during the growing period, and sometimes even more frequently, so it grows very fast. In summer, we don't stop watering, now basically once every two weeks, and the shape has always been very good.
Ventilation is relatively poor, but it doesn't affect much. Maybe it has adapted to my home environment. After all, it has been raised for so long. There is also a characteristic, it often emits a very smelly odor, especially on the leaves. If you touch it lightly with your hand, it will stick to it, like the smell of "Hong Kong foot", so be careful.
Currently, it is also a very common variety in the flower market, especially in Shandong region. There are many in the flower market of Qingdao, but the condition is a bit different from mine. To grow such a rose-like shape is actually quite simple. After buying it home, mix it with soil that has a larger particle ratio, water it slightly after planting, and then reduce the amount of water and frequency of watering each time, and the beautiful rose shape will gradually appear. After achieving the desired state, continue to adhere to this maintenance plan to keep the rose shape.
【May 11, 2011】In fact, it was bought in April and no photos were taken at that time. It was bought from a flower stall at the market. At that time, I thought why was this Black Priest green? It also had a beautiful shape, so I bought it home for 10 yuan.
【January 28, 2012】Previously, there were hardly any separate picture records, which is quite regrettable. After 8 months, the stems also grew out. Since the winter temperature was low, it was placed in the sunniest spot on the balcony, getting about 3 hours of sunlight a day and even sprouting multiple heads.
【April 22, 2012】I installed an aluminum alloy frame outside the window and put them all outdoors for natural cultivation. At that time, I didn't have a clear understanding of natural cultivation and neglected it. I covered the whole thing with a plastic film. When the sun was strong at noon, the inside turned into a sauna, and it was roasted bad in just one day. However, it wasn't fatal, and I gained a lot of valuable experience from this mistake. So observation is very necessary. If I hadn't checked for a few days this time, maybe a lot of them would have been roasted to death.
【June 1, 2012】After readjusting the environment, it regained vitality. The metabolism of Echeveria is still very fast, with the leaves alternating very quickly. The bottom leaves wither and fall off very quickly, so it requires diligent people to clean every day, haha~ So lazy people should not choose it.
【October 21, 2012】In autumn, it started growing wildly again, and the rose-shaped leaves were gone. Watering was very frequent, about twice a week. The pleated leaves looked quite interesting.
【December 31, 2012】Even in winter, it still maintained frequent watering. The temperature on the terrace could rise to 20℃ during the day with sunlight, but it would return to 5℃ at night. It seems that there is no sign of dormancy.
【March 26, 2013】In fact, this time is still winter. In recent maintenance, the amount of watering has been reduced, with about 2 hours of sunlight per day, and watering only after the soil is completely dry. Many red jade soils have been added to the soil, plus the original large proportion of particle soil, the evaporation of moisture is actually very fast, and you can hear the sound of "plop, plop" every time you water.
【April 13, 2013】Now I have basically mastered its habits, and the watering interval has been extended to about 20 days. Not only can it maintain its shape, but it can also grow slowly~ And it's getting more and more perfect. I simply love Yulong Guanyin to death.
【June 26, 2013】This is how it looks recently. The feeling of going from nothing to something is really great. Although some pictures are missing, it feels great to grow a flat, flat plant into a tree trunk rose. Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of you!
