How to care for万年青 succulents
An introduction to the care of万年青 succulents and the cultivation techniques of green plants and flowers, with a comprehensive guide to follow.
Perennial green, belonging to the Liliaceae family of perennial evergreen herbaceous plants, is generally suitable for pot cultivation in homes. Its leaves remain evergreen throughout the year and can absorb some dust, making it a decent flowering plant. Some gardening enthusiasts enjoy cultivating万年青 to place in their homes, not only for environmental protection but also for their high ornamental value. However, during cultivation, they may find that the leaves are not sufficiently green and prone to rot and withering, not knowing how to care for them properly. Let me discuss the basic knowledge needed to cultivate万年青, which, once learned, can make it easier to care for.
1. Soil: When cultivating万年青, it's important to note that it does not thrive in alkaline soil, and poor drainage and aeration can cause root rot or yellowing leaves. Therefore, the soil used for cultivation should be a slightly acidic soil containing humus, which can be mixed with river sand and humus soil, and adding some base fertilizer can promote vigorous growth.
2. Sunlight:万年青 prefers to grow in a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment. It does not tolerate strong sunlight, as it can easily get sunburned and the leaves may turn yellow. Usually, only in winter is it necessary to provide it with ample sunlight, placing it in a sunny position, while in other seasons, it can be maintained in a semi-shaded environment to keep the leaves green and ensure healthy growth.
3. Watering:万年青 fears waterlogging and has a strong drought tolerance. Because its roots are fleshy, it's important to ensure no积水 in the soil during cultivation to avoid root rot or yellowing leaves and withering plants. Watering should be controlled based on the soil's dryness, watering thoroughly when the soil is dry, without allowing积水 or excessive dryness, to prevent poor growth or drying and withering.
4. Fertilization: During the growth of万年青, insufficient nutrients can cause the leaves to turn yellow and not be green enough. However, excessive fertilization can easily cause root burn. Therefore, fertilization should be based on the plant's growth, with a well-rotted organic fertilizer applied every 15 days during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and bright green leaves. When fertilizing, avoid using raw or concentrated fertilizers and only use fully decomposed organic fertilizers.
The above is a specific introduction to how to care for万年青 succulents and the cultivation techniques of succulent万年青, hoping to bring some floral knowledge to green plant enthusiasts.
