How to care for Guanyinlian in a home settingLet me share with you some small experiences on how to care for Guanyinlian at home and the precautions for raising the succulent Guanyinlian. Let's get to know more about it together.Guanyinlian is a plant belonging to the Sempervivum genus. It has a characteristic feature where it continuously grows stems from all around during its growth process. The stems are covered with small Guanyinlian side shoots. After the Guanyinlian is nurtured to burst with side shoots, the overall effect is very beautiful. It is very affordable and is considered a common item among common goods. Many people enjoy caring for it, but some gardening friends ask why my Guanyinlian doesn't grow side shoots?The first reason for not growing side shoots is due to the small size of the plant. Since the small side shoots cut from Guanyinlian are very small and the root system is not very developed, if the plant is not properly cared for within a year after planting, it won't grow too large, and thus, it will not grow side shoots. We need to let it grow bigger and fatter, so that the entire plant has a developed root system and thick leaves, and it will naturally grow side shoots from the sides. So, it is normal for seedlings not to grow side shoots. First, provide plenty of water and fertilizer, and let it grow rapidly during its growing season. It will naturally branch out when it grows bigger.The second reason is definitely due to improper care. If we buy such a large plant and it doesn't grow much after a year, it won't grow, and thus, it won't have side shoots. This is caused by poor soil fertility and not keeping up with watering and fertilizing. Therefore, if you want Guanyinlian to grow well, with side shoots filling the pot and the plant compact, proper care must be taken. Today, let's talk about its care.Guanyinlian is also a succulent plant. When caring for it, we must use well-draining soil. Don't use too large a pot in the early stages, and the soil should have at least half of its particles. After planting, ensure it gets plenty of light, as it is a plant that loves light. The more sunlight it gets throughout the year, the better it grows. How should you water it? Generally, when the potting soil is completely dry, water it thoroughly. If it's not summer and the growing season, you can water it thoroughly when the soil surface is dry or half-dry. In the hot summer, it grows slowly and is prone to problems, so we should try to water less and only add water when the leaves wilt.How to care for Guanyinlian at homeChoose a suitable fertilizer for it. We want it to grow side shoots, not flowers, as it will die if it flowers. Therefore, we choose a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content and no lack of other elements, such as Huaduo No. 10, applied 2-3 times a month, following the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. With sufficient nutrients, it will rapidly burst with side shoots. If you use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, it will only grow flower buds from the top, and after flowering, the entire plant might die.Actually, plants in the Sempervivum genus are very easy to care for, and they are generally very frost-resistant. Overwintering outdoors in some northern regions is not a problem at all. During the care process, if you do as Xiaoqi suggests and regularly spray some pesticide to prevent pest infestations, there won't be any problems, and it will certainly burst with side shoots.The detailed introduction about how to care for Guanyinlian at home and the precautions for raising succulent Guanyinlian, have you understood it?
