How to care for Yulu
Here is a comprehensive introduction to how to care for Yulu and the precautions for cultivating Yulu, with some green plant care tips. Let's learn about it together below.
Summer is gradually approaching us, and those who keep flowers at home should be aware that summer is the dormant period for many plants, as well as a transition period. Especially for succulents, they might accidentally disappear if not careful! So today, I will tell you about the summer survival methods for these four common succulents!
1. Liuli Hall
Liuli Hall, it's hard to imagine this would be the name of a succulent, but it also has another name—Xuanye Yingzhua Grass, which sounds even more impressive. There's no way, who would have thought it would look so different.
It is relatively drought-resistant, so sunlight is essential for it. However, its growth rate will slow down under high summer temperatures, so we need to keep it away from the intense sunlight. During this period, we should not water it, and definitely not fertilize!
2. Yulu
Yulu, as its name suggests, is small, crystal clear, and very charming. Such a fresh plant is naturally afraid of strong light and high temperatures. In summer, it will be in a semi-dormant state, so we need to provide it with proper shading and keep the soil dry, then gradually water it after it resumes growth in autumn.
There is also a little trick: cover Yulu with a plastic cup and place it in a place with scattered sunlight to care for it. This way, Yulu will be even fresher!
3. Hongzhiyu
Hongzhiyu prefers a warm and sunny environment, but it will still be in a semi-dormant state in summer. At this time, we need to stop watering and provide some shading. However, do not let it be completely devoid of sunlight, or the stems and leaves will become soft and may fall over.
How to care for Yulu
Even with careful care, there may still be leaf drop. However, there's no need to worry too much. The fallen leaves can be used for leaf propagation, and you will have a new plant!
4. Rongzhen
Never judge a book by its cover and assume it's a spiky succulent just by its name! Rongzhen has a layer of绒毛 (velvet) on its surface, which is how it got its name. It likes sunlight but will still enter dormancy in summer. Therefore, watering and fertilizing should be stopped, and it should be placed in a semi-shaded area to gradually wake up.
Rongzhen that is not exposed to sunlight can lead to etiolation, which requires us to perform proper pruning and pinching to lower its growth habit.
The above are some green plant care tips on how to care for Yulu and the precautions for cultivating Yulu, hoping to bring you some help in your daily life!
