How to Care for Large Yuloo
As a star variety in the succulent world, the large Yuloo is deeply loved for its crystal-clear window surface and unique plant shape. However, to grow a plump and translucent Yuloo, it is necessary to master scientific care methods. This article systematically analyzes six core care points from substrate mixing to pest and disease control.
Large Yuloo Breeding Environment Configuration
Special Substrate Formula for Succulents
It is recommended to use a golden ratio of Akadama soil (40%) + Kokei soil (20%) + Vermiculite (15%) + Decomposed leaf soil (25%). Place a 3cm layer of ceramic stones at the bottom to enhance drainage and change the substrate every 2 years to prevent hardening. Special attention should be paid to avoid using pure garden soil, as it can easily lead to root rot.
Regulating Light Intensity
In spring and autumn, expose to 4 hours of scattered light daily, and set up a 50% shade net from 10:00 to 16:00 in summer. The transparency of the window surface can be observed to judge: when there is insufficient light, the window surface is cloudy, and when it is too strong, sunburn spots appear. It is recommended to use a supplemental light with an intensity of 3000-5000Lux.
Intelligent Watering Scheme
Follow the principle of "thoroughly wetting when watering". In summer, water slowly along the pot edge every 15 days, and extend to every 25 days in winter. It is recommended to use the bamboo stake method: insert the bamboo stake into the soil for 2 hours and pull it out, if there is no moisture, water it. Combine with a humidity meter to maintain an environmental humidity of 40%-60%.
Scientific Fertilizing Schedule
In the growing period (March-May, September-November), apply a special succulent fertilizer (N-P-K=5-10-5) every 20 days, diluted at a ratio of 1:1000 and poured at the roots. Organic fertilizer must be fully decomposed, and it is recommended to mix earthworm dung fertilizer with maifan stone powder at a ratio of 3:1 and apply it around the pot edge.
Key Points of Large Yuloo Propagation Techniques
In addition to the seeding method, you can try dividing propagation: select a mother plant that is over 3 years old, separate the lateral buds with roots in spring, apply a fungicide to the cut surface, and let it dry in the shade for 3 days before potting. For leaf cutting propagation, select healthy leaves from the middle layer, insert them diagonally into moist soil, and maintain a constant temperature of 25℃ for about 40 days to root.
Comprehensive Pest and Disease Control System
Wipe the leaf surface with diluted beer (water: beer = 20:1) every month to prevent diseases. If scale insects are found, they can be killed with a 75% alcohol cotton swab, and root mealybugs need to be treated with the root修正 followed by soaking in a flower-protecting solution. Remember to dilute dichlorvos to over 800 times and ventilate for 48 hours after application.
By precisely controlling light intensity, scientifically mixing substrates, establishing an intelligent water and fertilizer system, and combining regular pest and disease prevention, even beginners can grow large Yuloo with a transparent window surface and a full plant shape. Remember that observation is the best care guide, and regularly record the growth status and adjust the care plan in a timely manner.
