Method of cultivating green flame succulents
This article provides a detailed introduction to the experience related to the green flame succulents, the cultivation methods of green flame succulents. Next, the editor of the website will introduce to the netizens.
Green flame prefers a warm, dry, and sunny environment, is drought-resistant, not cold-resistant, and can slightly tolerate semi-shade. Green flame is also known as Tiya and is a hybrid variety of the Crassulaceae and Sedum genera.
During the high summer temperatures, green flame plants have a short dormancy period, during which the plant growth slows down or completely stops. It can be placed in a well-ventilated area for maintenance, avoiding long-term rain and slightly shaded, and water should be controlled. Spring, autumn, and early summer are the main growth periods of the plant. The potting soil should be completely dry before watering, as excessive dryness during the growing period can cause the old leaves to wither (except for the dormant period).
In winter, if the minimum temperature does not drop below 5°C, watering can be normal to allow the plant to continue growing. If such high temperatures cannot be maintained, watering should be gradually reduced to let the plant enter dormancy, and the soil can tolerate indoor low temperatures of minus 3 degrees when dry (not suitable for outdoors, as there is frost; kites are kept in a sunroom).
The soil for cultivating green flame should be breathable. Tiya is highly adaptable to soil and does not easily get sick. It is important to prevent aphids from infesting when flowering. The author uses a mixture of coal slag and peat, focusing on breathability without a specific ratio. The surface of the pot is covered with granular river sand, which is aesthetic and breathable.
Green flame propagation can be done by cutting the top to promote the growth of suckers or by leaf insertion. The success rate of cutting propagation is quite high, especially the leaves on the flowering stem are the easiest to cut and propagate.
The comprehensive knowledge explanation of the green flame succulent cultivation methods (with pictures) shared above is hoped to help you.
