How to water succulents and where to water them
The editor introduces how to water succulents and where to water them, as well as the process of planting succulents and the explanation of green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together.
Seeding temperature: Crassula 18-22 degrees,仙女杯 16-20, Aizoaceae 22-25, Cactaceae 30.
Preparation materials: 10x10 square, seeding soil, ceramsite, carbendazim, plastic wrap, succulent seeds, toothpick, rubber band.
10x10 square seeding of Xue Shan仙女杯
Seeding steps:
1. Put the seeding soil in the microwave for 5 minutes (if there is no microwave, you can put it in a pot to steam. It is best to use an old pot, otherwise there is a risk of being beaten by your family.). This process can kill all the eggs and grass seeds in the soil and disinfect them at the same time.
2. After steaming, let the soil cool down and mix the soil with water diluted with carbendazim (this step is very important, otherwise when you immerse the pot, you will cry, the soil will float on the water surface, and you can only stir each square one by one, stirring while watering. I stirred 30 squares for half a day before.). Then put the ceramsite at the bottom of the square to prevent soil leakage, fill the square with the mixed soil (it's okay to fill 2/3 full, too full is not good for later seedling care), then soak the pot with water diluted with carbendazim to disinfect the seeding soil, after the soil surface is wet, take out the square and let it dry.
3. After the soil in the pot is not dripping water, start sowing, find a place sheltered from the wind, and wear a mask. (Why do you need to avoid the wind and wear a mask? Because succulent seeds are even smaller than the tip of a needle, and a gust of wind or a sneeze can make all the seeds disappear!) Patient people can use a toothpick now, wet the toothpick, and place one seed at a time on the soil surface (note that it is on the soil surface, do not press it into the soil, otherwise it will not germinate.), this is called spot sowing. Sow 10 seeds in one square to facilitate seedling growth and delay the time for transplanting. Impatient people should not use a toothpick and just shake the seeds onto the soil surface, which is called broadcasting. The seedlings from broadcasting tend to grow into a mass, which is not good for growth, and they need to be transplanted early.
4. Cover the mouth of the square with plastic wrap and secure it with a rubber band. Place the square in a shady, well-ventilated place without direct sunlight. Generally, germination starts within 3-5 days. When the soil surface is slightly dry, soak the pot, do not water, as it will wash away the seeds and knock over the seedlings. When 50% of the seedlings have emerged, remove the plastic wrap during the day and cover it at night to continue growing in a closed environment. When 70% have emerged, you can stop covering it, give the seedlings some scattered light step by step, starting with 1 hour, then 2 hours, slowly increasing the time, remember not to expose them to direct sunlight. That's about it, the rest is about later care.
Last spring, the only two Buraidongni that grew up
It is best not to sow the fairy cup in spring because it is too difficult for the fairy cup seedlings to survive the summer! Out of 20 fairy cups sown in spring, only 5 or 6 remain in autumn, and only 2 Buraidongni remain. Autumn sowing is more ideal, with three seasons of growth in autumn, winter, and spring, and by summer they are basically grown up, with no pressure to survive the summer.
Cold drink cup sowing of Dongyun series
This kind of transparent plastic container with a lid is very useful for sowing, does not require plastic wrap to seal, and is convenient for observation, but you need to punch holes in the bottom yourself. Without holes, it retains too much water and the roots of the seedlings can easily rot.
