1. Selection of Potting Soil and Pot
Bingdeng Yulu has fleshy roots, so when choosing soil, it must be suitable for the growth of fleshy roots and have loose and highly permeable soil. You can buy special succulent soil from the flower market or mix珍珠岩 (perlite), 腐叶土 (decomposing leaf soil),草木灰 (plant ash), fine river sand, and 椰糠 (coconut bran) in the ratio of 1:2:1:1:2. For pot selection, you can use plain pots or cute ceramic pots. In any case, a large container is not needed.
2. Water and Fertilizer Control
The water management of Bingdeng Yulu is seasonal, but overall, it requires less water. Excessive water can cause root rot. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, water slightly more frequently, once every 1-2 weeks. During the summer dormant period, water once every 3 weeks. If the leaves look shriveled, it's also time to water. Fertilizer is generally applied once during each of the spring and autumn growing seasons with a compound fertilizer, and no fertilizer is needed in other seasons.
3. Light and Temperature Management
Bingdeng Yulu prefers a semi-shaded environment. Except during the dormant period, it can be exposed to non-intense sunlight for 2 hours a day, which is beneficial for photosynthesis. Bingdeng Yulu should not grow in a stuffy and humid environment. The suitable growing temperature is between 15-28 degrees Celsius. As long as it is above 0 degrees Celsius in winter, it can survive safely. If it is controlled above 10 degrees Celsius, it can still grow healthily.
