Method for watering house roll silk
As a rare variety of succulent plants in the Crassulaceae family, Wujuan silk is favored by gardening enthusiasts for its unique lotus seat shape and silver-white fluff. Scientific watering management is the key to cultivating a plump and compact plant type. This paper will systematically analyze the key points of water control at different growth stages based on plant physiological characteristics. 1. Precise water control strategies during the growth period 1.1 The golden rule for watering in spring and autumn The 3-4-day watering cycle needs to be flexibly adjusted based on the dry and wet conditions of the substrate. It is recommended to use the dipping basin method to replenish water. Place the flower pot in a water pan with a water depth of 2 cm and soak it for 15 minutes. After the soil in the basin is completely moist, take it out and drain it. The root system of young plants is shallow, which can be shortened to 2-3 days to replenish a small amount of water; mature plants need to be watered thoroughly until the bottom of the basin leaks water each time; old plants are extended to 5-7 days of deep irrigation. 1.2 During the transition period, water regulation During the transition period between late spring and early summer (May-June) and late autumn and early winter (October-November), semi-permeable irrigation method should be used: only the upper part of the basin soil is wetted each time to promote the root system to extend downward. Find water source. Combined with the addition of 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, it can effectively increase the concentration of cell fluid and enhance plant stress resistance. 2. Water management plan during dormant period 2.1 High temperature protection in summer When the temperature continues to be greater than 30℃, spray once a week early in the morning, and water droplets need to avoid the leaf core. In a dry environment with air humidity less than 40%, moist vermiculite can be placed around the basin for local humidification. 2.2 In winter, low-temperature maintenance below 5 ° C enters deep hibernation, and only 30ml of normal-temperature water needs to be injected along the basin wall every month. It is recommended to use a long-spout elbow pot to accurately control the amount of water to avoid freezing damage caused by water on the leaves. 3. Advanced maintenance techniques Use red pottery pots with granular soil (red jade soil: volcanic rock: coconut bran =5:3:2) to ensure that the drainage rate is>15ml/second. Regularly use a bamboo stick to check the humidity of the basin soil, and replenish water when the bamboo stick is inserted into a depth of 10cm and there is no adhesive material. Pruning aging roots when turning pots every spring can increase water absorption efficiency by 30%.
By establishing a scientific watering calendar, combined with substrate improvement and environmental monitoring, the house-roll silk can always be maintained in the best viewing condition. Remember the maintenance principle of "better dry than waterlogged" and let this fleshy spirit bloom with its unique charm under your careful care.
