How to Cultivate the Multi肉 Plant Ya Le Zhi Wu
Ya Le Zhi Wu has become a star variety in the multi肉 plant world thanks to its pink and white gradient multi-layered leaves and its skirt-like shape. To cultivate Ya Le Zhi Wu to achieve an explosion of growth, it is necessary to master the golden ratio of light, water, temperature, and fertilizer. This article will provide a detailed analysis from basic care to advanced techniques.
Ya Le Zhi Wu Scientific Care Guide
Light Management: The Art of Balancing Sunlight and Shade
Ensure 4-6 hours of direct morning light daily, and use a shade net to filter 50% of UV rays at noon. In winter, full-day sunlight care is possible, while in summer, during high temperatures, increase the shade cloth to block 80% of strong light, and place it on a ventilated windowsill to maintain a compact plant shape.
Scientific Fertilization: Precise Ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium
During the growing season (March to October), apply diluted 1000 times Huaduoduo No. 12 (NPK=15:15:30) every 15 days. In spring and autumn, additional bone meal can be applied to supplement calcium, with the concentration of nitrogen fertilizer controlled within 20% of the total fertilizer to avoid leaf greening.
Water Control: The Wisdom of Dry and Wet Cycles
Use the "completely dry and then water" method, and water slowly along the edge of the pot when the soil moisture meter shows less than 15%. In the summer dormant period, only water once a month, and in winter, use the immersion method at low temperatures, not exceeding 15 seconds each time. Maintain an air humidity of 50%-60%, and consider using a misting humidifier.
Repotting Techniques: Ensuring Healthy Roots
Change the substrate to 70% granular content every March to April, recommended formula: 40% red jade soil (3-5mm) + 20% deer swamp soil + 15% volcanic rock + 25% humus soil. When repotting, retain 1/3 of the protective soil, trim dense roots, and let the roots dry for 24 hours before potting.
Ya Le Zhi Wu Growth Potential Analysis
Under ideal care conditions, Ya Le Zhi Wu can achieve an annual growth of 8-12cm in canopy diameter. In spring, a single head can sprout 5-8 lateral buds, and with pinching treatment, it can achieve three-level branching. Using a diameter of 15cm breathable pot and applying芸苔素 spray once a month, it can achieve an explosion of growth in as fast as 10 months.
By precisely controlling the intensity of light and the rhythm of fertilization, combined with seasonal water management, Ya Le Zhi Wu can not only maintain its dreamy pink and white variegation but also achieve geometric growth. It is recommended to take growth record photos every quarter to visually judge the care effect by the number of leaf layers and branches.
