How to raise Orion with meat
Orion's fleshy flesh is popular for its unique star-shaped arrangement and blue-purple trimmed leaves, but many flower lovers often encounter problems such as excessive growth and fading during maintenance. This article will use five core skills to systematically analyze how to create an environment suitable for Orion's succulent growth, so that your succulent will always maintain a compact plant type and brilliant color. Orion fleshy farming environment control porous media soil configuration Orion root system requires extremely high air permeability. It is recommended to use a gold ratio of peat soil: perlite: volcanic rock =3:4:3. Adding 5% bamboo charcoal particles every spring can prevent root rot, and a 3 cm-thick ceramsite drainage layer needs to be laid at the bottom of the basin. The intelligent temperature control solution maintains the ideal growth temperature of 18-25℃ in spring and autumn. In summer, if it exceeds 32℃, the circulating fan needs to be turned on. In winter, maintaining a low temperature of 8-12℃ can stimulate the red edge of the leaves. Pay special attention to controlling the temperature difference between day and night to around 10℃, which can effectively promote sugar accumulation. Stepped light management requires 6 hours of direct light every day during the growth period, and a 50% sunshade net is used to filter strong ultraviolet rays in summer. When using full-spectrum plant lamps to fill light in winter, keep the lamp distance at 30cm and set a light cycle of 14 hours/day. The precise watering technique adopts the combination method of "dipping basin + spraying": dipping the basin once every 10 days in spring and autumn (the water level reaches 1/3 of the basin height), and spraying the leaves twice a week. In summer, small amounts of water are supplied every month, and water is completely cut off for maintenance during low temperature periods in winter. Key points of Orion reproduction techniques to improve the success rate of leaf transplanting: Select healthy leaves in the middle layer, dry them for 3 days, and place them flat on the surface of vermiculite. Maintain the environmental humidity of 70% and the temperature of 22℃, remove the plastic wrap and ventilate for 1 hour at night, and new root systems can be seen for about 25 days. Orion basin replacement maintenance guidelines carry out basin replacement operations every two years in the spring, focusing on checking root development. Brown aging roots were found to be pruned immediately, carbendazim powder was applied to the wound, and the roots were dried for 48 hours. The diameter of the new pot should be 3cm larger than the original pot, and avoid watering within 7 days after changing the pot.
Through scientific temperature, light and water control + regular pot change management, Orion's meat can not only maintain a perfect plant type, but also show a stunning pink-purple gradient in spring and autumn. It is recommended to apply slow-release fertilizer once a quarter, and use rotating flower pots to ensure uniform light reception. You will harvest a pot of succulent art that is as bright as the stars.
