Breeding methods and precautions for Yipangxiang
As a star member of the succulent plant family, Yimanxiang is favored by gardening enthusiasts for its unique ornamental value and fresh aroma. This article will systematically explain the key points of cultivation from five dimensions to help growers create a suitable growth environment. Light control plan Graded management of sunshine intensity. A full sunshine plan is implemented in spring, autumn and winter. It is recommended to receive 6-8 hours of direct light every day. In summer, a sunshade net is used to filter 30% of the light intensity to avoid burning leaves with strong light at noon. South-facing window sills or open balcony are ideal locations. Water management strategy The precise irrigation cycle adopts the "alternating dry and wet" method, and the surface soil is completely dried and then watered thoroughly. 5-7 days per time in spring and autumn, and shortened to 3-5 days per time in summer with foliar spray. The winter dormancy period is extended to 10-15 days per time, and it is more accurate to use bamboo sticks to test soil moisture. The drainage system is optimized and a breathable red pottery basin is selected, with a 3-cm-thick ceramsite layer laid at the bottom. Recommended substrate ratio: 40% peat soil +30% perlite +30% coarse sand to ensure complete penetration of water within 20 seconds. Nutrient supply system Scientific fertilization plan During the growth period (April to October), special liquid fertilizer diluted 2000 times for leaf-viewing plants is applied every month. Stop fertilization in winter and mix in slow-release fertilizer granules (add 2g per liter of soil) when changing pots. Pay special attention to avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer causing excessive growth. Key points of temperature control Seasonal temperature difference management The ideal growth temperature band is 18-28℃, and it is kept below 35℃ through spray cooling in summer. Maintaining above 5℃ in winter and overwintering, it is recommended to use plant warming mats in northern regions. Controlling the temperature difference between day and night at 8-10℃ can promote the accumulation of aroma substances. The three-dimensional ventilation plan of the air circulation system is equipped with circulating fans to maintain air flow and the humidity is controlled within the range of 40-60%. Use azedra oil every quarter to prevent scale insects. Isolate pests immediately and remove them with alcohol cotton swabs. Rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure even light exposure.
Through systematic environmental control and precise daily management, healthy plants with compact plant types and strong aroma can be cultivated. It is recommended to change the pots every two years in the spring to combine root pruning to promote metabolism. Pay attention to observe the plumularity of the blades and adjust the maintenance plan in a timely manner.
