How to spend the winter with fire-breathing dragons
As a star breed in the meat world, fire-breathing dragon decoration is deeply loved for its unique crown shape. However, low temperatures in winter are extremely challenging for such tropical plants, and how to make fire-breathing dragons fit through the winter safely has become the key to maintenance. This article will systematically analyze the five key points for wintering from environmental regulation to daily management. Winter light management Sunshine intensity and placement position Winter sunshine ultraviolet intensity is only 30%-40% of summer. It is recommended to ensure 4-6 hours of direct light every day. The plant can be placed in a south-facing bay window or an enclosed balcony, and the light filtered through double glazing is sufficient and gentle. The precise temperature control gradient temperature control scheme establishes three-level temperature protection: maintaining 15-20 ° C during the day to promote photosynthesis, maintaining 8-12 ° C at night to reduce consumption, and ensuring no lower than 5 ° C in extreme weather. Northern heating areas need to pay attention to avoiding day and night temperature differences above 10℃. Scientific water management The "three observation methods" are used to judge watering timing during the dry and wet cycle cycle: observe the basin soil (completely dry), observe the leaves (slightly wrinkled), and observe the weather (continuous sunny days). It is recommended that the single watering amount per month should not exceed 1/5 of the volume of the basin, and use warm water of about 25℃ to slowly penetrate along the edge of the basin. Nutrient replenishment strategy: When the night temperature continues to be below 15℃, fertilization should be completely stopped. It is recommended to use slow-release fertilizer with a ratio of phosphorus and potassium of 2:1 for the last fertilization, and apply 5-8 grains per pot. Pay special attention to avoid excessive growth induced by fertilizers with high nitrogen content. Environmental optimization details Equipment protection points Keep a safe distance of more than 1 meter from the radiator, and use a humidifier to maintain the air humidity of 40%-50%. It is recommended to rotate the flowerpot 180° every week and coordinate with regular dust removal to keep epidermal cells breathing smoothly.
Through precise light, temperature, water and fertilizer control, and regular observation and recording, fire-breathing dragon replacement can not only safely survive the winter, but also accumulate energy to prepare for spring outbreak and growth. It is recommended to take growth comparison charts every month, establish a dedicated maintenance log, and gradually understand the unique needs of this kind of patched and fleshy.
