How to Cultivate a Senior Stake of Green Bronze麒麟
Green Bronze麒麟, with its unique metallic luster epidermis and rough trunk shape, has become a star variety pursued by succulent enthusiasts. Mastering key techniques is essential to cultivate a Green Bronze麒麟 with a full sense of age. This article will analyze the secret methods of cultivation from five dimensions.
One, Core Elements of Senior Stake Cultivation
1.1 Law of Time Deposition
Cultivating a senior stake of Green Bronze麒麟 requires following the laws of natural growth, usually requiring 3-5 years of continuous care. When accelerating the lignification process through human intervention, it is recommended to prune only 1-2 bottom leaves per quarter, retaining the nutrients of the main stem. Regularly rotating the pot can prevent one-sided stretching and shape a uniform stake.
1.2 Light Control Strategy
Ensure at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, with full exposure in spring and autumn. In the summer noon, shade 30% to avoid scalding, and in winter, use supplemental lights to maintain light intensity. Insufficient light can lead to elongated internodes, affecting the compactness of the stake.
Two, Advanced Care Techniques
2.1 Scientific Water Management
Follow the principle of 'thoroughly wetting and drying', with watering every 10-15 days in spring and autumn, every 20 days in summer, and no watering in winter. Use a尖嘴壶 to water along the edge of the pot, avoiding water accumulation in the leaf center. Using a matrix with 70% particle content (akadama soil + volcanic rock + coarse river sand) can effectively control the shape and promote stake growth.
2.2 Environmental Optimization Plan
Maintaining a day-night temperature difference of 8℃ can accelerate lignification, and it is recommended to keep the plant outdoors in spring and autumn. Install a small circulating fan to create air circulation, keeping humidity below 40%. Clean the branches with a blower every month to promote epidermal respiration and metabolism.
Three, Artistic Shape Treatment
When the diameter of the main stem reaches 2cm, artistic shaping can be performed: wrap with aluminum wire, leaving a 0.5cm gap, and adjust the bending angle every three months. Apply myclobutanil to the wound and let it naturally weather, which can form a natural dried wood effect after 2-3 years.
Through a systematic cultivation plan, combined with seasonal care adjustments, Green Bronze麒麟 will show a robust senior stake form in about 3 years. Regularly record the growth status and optimize the care details based on the plant's feedback to harvest a highly ornamental,标本级 senior stake.
