What are the breeding methods for Chihuahuas?
An introduction to the breeding methods and maintenance skills of Chihuahuas in the field of green plants and flowers, let's take a look together!
When breeding Chihuahuas normally, the plant has good ornamental value, but incorrect breeding methods can cause the leaves to elongate, the plant to become loose, and look unattractive. To grow Chihuahuas well, you need slightly acidic soil. Chihuahuas are drought-tolerant and should not be watered frequently. They cannot be exposed to the sun in summer and need to be kept warm in winter. Let's take a look at the breeding methods for Chihuahuas below.
1. Potting Soil
The soil mixed for Chihuahua succulents should be slightly acidic, usually a mixture of humus soil, river sand, garden soil, and vermiculite, in the ratio of 3:3:1:1. This type of potting soil is breathable, loose, and has good drainage, which is more beneficial for the growth of Chihuahua succulents.
2. Lighting
Chihuahua succulents enjoy light and require sufficient lighting to grow better, with short and thick leaves, brighter color, and a tighter appearance. Insufficient lighting can cause the leaves to elongate, with a light color and loose arrangement.
3. Temperature
Chihuahua succulents grow better in warm environments with large day-night temperature differences. The temperature in summer should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius and should not be exposed to strong sunlight. When the temperature in winter is below 5 degrees Celsius, they need to be kept warm.
4. Watering
Chihuahua succulents are drought-tolerant, and the amount of watering should be minimal. It is recommended to water once every two weeks, and care should be taken to avoid water accumulation in the center of the plant, as this can easily cause burning or rot. It is best to water in the middle of the day in winter and spring, and in the afternoon or evening in summer.
5. Fertilizing
Chihuahuas are usually fertilized in spring and autumn because the plants are small and do not require much fertilizer. There are special diluted fertilizers for Chihuahuas in flower shops, applied once a month, slightly fertilizing, making sure the fertilizer solution does not pour onto the leaves, but around the edge of the potting soil.
The above are some small experiences on the breeding methods for Chihuahuas and maintenance skills, hoping to bring help to you in life!
