Introduction: Many flower enthusiasts like succulents because of their thick leaves, colorful colors, and cute and textured appearance. As we spend more time with succulents, our requirements for them also increase, beginning to pursue some special state succulents, such as the most beautiful variety in green succulents - Big Green Peach.
In normal conditions, Big Green Peach succulents will show a crystal clear green color and a semi-transparent state in the sun, which looks very delicate and lovely. By raising the Big Green Peach to achieve a state, not only can the leaves turn into bright golden yellow, but the thick stem can also be grown into a cliff stake, exuding a noble and atmospheric demeanor in simplicity and strength. Placed in the home, the overall style and grade of the family will be enhanced. So, how can we grow Big Green Peach well and bring it to its ultimate state? Today, Ayong will share some tips on caring for Big Green Peach with you.
Choose Weakly Alkaline Soil
In terms of soil selection, Big Green Peach is different from most flowers, especially succulents, and does not follow the usual path. Usually, flowers and succulents we see prefer neutral or slightly acidic soil. Therefore, in order to maintain soil pH, people often use some acidic fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate or aspirin tablets, to help them have strong roots. However, Big Green Peach prefers slightly alkaline soil. Therefore, iron sulfate solution and aspirin tablets must not be used. Instead, we should use fertilizers containing calcium elements every one or two months. Calcium elements can show a slightly alkaline nature under the action of water and air, which is very beneficial for the growth of Big Green Peach.
Get as Much Sunlight as Possible
Big Green Peach has thick leaves and requires a lot of light. Only under sufficient sunlight, the leaves of Big Green Peach will change from green to golden yellow, and the outermost layer can even show a light red color, making it look particularly beautiful. In spring and autumn, we can provide full-day sunlight for Big Green Peach, avoid strong sunlight at noon in summer, and the more sunlight in winter, the better, but keeping warm should be a priority.
Try to Keep It Outdoors, Larger Natural Temperature Differences Make Big Green Peach More Crystalline and Transparent
Big Green Peach has a thick stem and strong adaptability to the environment. We can confidently place it in an open-air environment to grow, especially in spring and autumn when the natural temperature difference of about 10 degrees can make its leaves become a very beautiful semi-transparent state. However, in continuous rainy weather, we should also shield Big Green Peach from the wind and rain in time, or else the leaves may rot due to water droplets remaining in the center for a long time. In summer and winter, when the temperature is too high or too cold, Big Green Peach cannot be grown outdoors, and we should bring it indoors in time.
How to Care for Big Green Peach Succulents
Water More in the Seedling Stage, Less in the Mature Stage
Big Green Peach has excellent drought resistance. However, if we want to grow it into a cliff stake, we need to slightly increase the watering amount during the seedling stage of Big Green Peach, ensuring its healthy growth while allowing its stem to become thinner and longer, showing a slight stretching phenomenon. At this time, the stem of Big Green Peach is relatively soft, and we can interfere externally to make it弯折 downward, creating a cliff stake state. After the Big Green Peach plant matures, we should water thoroughly only after the potting soil is completely dry, so that the leaves of Big Green Peach can become fatter.
Pruning and Removing Buds to Make Big Green Peach Change from Single to Multiple Heads
The ability of Big Green Peach to burst into heads is not very strong. Many flower friends' Big Green Peach has been growing for several years but is still a single head. At this time, we can use the methods of cutting the top or removing buds to make Big Green Peach sprout lateral branches and buds to achieve the goal of bursting into heads.
Cutting the top means directly cutting off the main stem of Big Green Peach, making it lose its upward growth advantage, so that excessive nutrients will stimulate Big Green Peach to grow lateral branches and buds, achieving the goal of clustering. However, the method of cutting the top is too drastic, and improper operation may lead to the direct death of Big Green Peach. Therefore, when cutting the top, we must ensure that the vitality of Big Green Peach is very strong, and apply multiple fungicides to the wound after cutting to prevent infection.
The method of removing buds is much milder than cutting the top. It involves gently removing the growth point in the center of the Big Green Peach leaves. This way, Big Green Peach still retains its leaves, not only does not affect the appearance but is also gentler, with less trauma to the plant. Losing the upward growth advantage will stimulate Big Green Peach to grow lateral branches and buds, achieving the effect of bursting into heads.
In summary, the biggest difference between caring for Big Green Peach succulents and ordinary succulents is the pH requirement of the soil. To grow it into a cliff stake shape, we also need to change our thinking in terms of watering. Water more in the early stage to cause slight stretching, making the stem thinner and softer, and then control water and fertilizer in the later stage, expose it to the sun more, try to keep it outdoors, and adjust the color and state of the Big Green Peach leaves to grow it into the most beautiful shape.
