Do I need to water the Euphorbia Pavilion brocade thoroughly?
As a star variety of Euphorbia in the Euphorbiaceae family, Euphorbia Ge Jin is highly sought after by meaty lovers due to its unique spotted brocade variation. The most critical watering link in its maintenance process is directly related to the root health and shape maintenance of the plant. This article will systematically analyze the scientific methods and practical skills of watering Euphorbia Pavilion Brocade. 1. The necessity of irrigating and permeating the Euphorbia japonica 1.1 The principle of root absorption The fleshy root system of Euphorbia japonica japonica is distributed radially, and the main root can penetrate into the soil layer by 15-20cm. Percutaneous watering can ensure that the deep roots receive water replenishment and prevent the fibrous roots at the bottom from shrinking due to long-term water shortage. Experimental data showed that plants that were fully watered were 37% faster than those that were watered with half water. 1.2 The penetration standard determines that when the drainage hole on the bottom of the basin continues to discharge water for 3-5 seconds, the penetration state will be reached, and the soil moisture content at this time is about 65%-70%. It is recommended to use the dipping basin method: place the flowerpot in a water basin and remove it immediately after the surface soil is wetted. This method can ensure even penetration. 2. Advanced watering skills for Euphorbia Pavilion Brocade 2.1 Seasonal watering strategy Spring and autumn follow the principle of "dry and thoroughly watering", with an interval of 10-15 days; in summer, high temperatures are shortened to 7-10 days, with early morning watering; During the winter dormant period, the watering frequency needs to be controlled and the soil is kept slightly dry. It is recommended to water only once a month. 2.2 If water accumulation occurs under special circumstances, three-step first aid should be taken immediately: ① Tilt the basin body to discharge open water ② Wrap the basin wall with water-absorbing material ③ Turn on the circulation fan to accelerate ventilation. Continue to observe for 3 days. If the stems are still soft, consider changing pots and pruning roots. 3. Supporting maintenance points select matching soil (red jade soil + deer swamp soil + coconut bran) with 60% of particles, and match it with a 3 cm ceramsite drainage layer at the bottom. It is recommended to use breathable containers such as red pottery pots, and the diameter of the pot is preferably 2- 3 cm larger than the plant. Check root health every spring when changing pots.
Through the combination of scientific watering and systematic maintenance, the Euphorbia Pavilion brocade can maintain its bright and mottled brocade characteristics, and the annual growth of plant height can reach 8-12cm. Master these core skills to put your fleshy collection in its best shape.
