Should I water the house roll silk thoroughly?
As a rare variety among succulent plants, Wujuan silk is favored by horticulture enthusiasts for its unique spiral leaf sequence. Among the many maintenance points, watering methods are always the key to the success or failure of maintenance. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the scientific method of watering the house roll silk and help you master the key to maintaining this fleshy pearl. The core watering principles are analyzed. Seasonal watering standards. During the spring and autumn growth season (March-May/September-November), every watering must be watered thoroughly to maintain a 30% water permeability to ensure that the bottom root system fully absorbs water. You can use the dipping basin method: immerse the flower pot in the water basin for 10 minutes, and remove it and drain it after the surface soil is moist. Water control strategy during dormant period. During the dormant period, semi-permeable water method is required. The watering amount is controlled to 1/3 of the total pot soil volume, and the substrate is only allowed to maintain micro-moisture. It is recommended to use a pointed spout to slowly fill water along the edge of the basin. Advanced maintenance key growth cycle water distribution plan Keep the substrate continuously moist during the seedling period (1-2 years), and spray water every 3 days; mature plants (3 years +) use a dry and wet cycle method, and the substrate is completely dried for 3 days before being watered thoroughly. During the special state period (flowering/serving pot), the water volume needs to be increased by 20%. Environmental adaptation skills Pottery pots have strong air permeability and can be poured thoroughly in 5 days. Porcelain pots have good water retention and need to be extended to 7 days. Reduce water volume by 30% in humid areas in the south, and use it with humidifiers in dry environments in the north. It is recommended to use the bamboo stick test method: observe the humidity after inserting it into the soil for 2 hours. Practical precautions The best watering time is before and after sunrise (5-7 o'clock) or after sunset (18-20 o'clock), avoiding the high temperature period at noon. The water temperature needs to maintain a temperature difference of ±2℃ from room temperature. In winter, it is recommended to use warm water of 25℃. Combined with EM bacterial solution once a month to irrigate roots can enhance the water absorption capacity of roots.
Through scientific and systematic watering management, combined with substrate ratio (70% of particulate soil is recommended) and environmental control, the roof roll silk can maintain the perfect shape of spiral leaf. Remember the eight-character secret of "seeing dry, wet, dry and pour thoroughly" to make your fleshy treasures bloom with unique charm.
