How to raise chocolate square bricks
Chocolate square tiles are named for their unique dark brown fleshy leaves and are a highly recognizable variety in the meaty family. This guide will systematically explain the key points of the entire process from basic maintenance to advanced management, helping growers master the secrets of cultivating healthy chocolate-colored plants. The core four elements of chocolate square tile maintenance are temperature and light dual control. Chocolate square tiles are suitable for growing in an environment of 15-25℃, and need to stay above 5℃ for winter. Direct light 4-6 hours a day in spring and autumn can stimulate leaf color transformation. In summer, sunshade nets are needed to filter strong light, and in winter, full sunshine can be accepted. The special combination of light and temperature can make the leaves present an ideal chocolate color. The key techniques for scientific water supply adopt the watering principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet". Water is watered every 10-15 days during the spring and autumn growth period, and a trace amount of water is replenished once a month during the high temperature hibernation period in summer. Water supply is supplied by dipping basin method at low temperatures in winter to maintain air humidity of about 40%. Pay special attention to the need to dry the water in the heart of the leaves in time to avoid black rot. Advanced nutrient supply plan applies meaty special slow-release fertilizer every month during the growth period, combined with potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer once in spring and autumn (concentration 0.2%). When changing pots, mix bone meal as base fertilizer, and pay attention to controlling the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium at 3:5:4. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer will cause the plants to grow and fade. Chocolate square tiles propagation and shaping skills How to raise chocolate square tiles
Select healthy leaves in the middle and lower parts for leaf cutting propagation, dry them for 3 days, and then spread them on the vermiculite surface. Maintain a constant temperature of 25 ° C and a humidity of 60% for about 20 days to take root and sprout. Adult plants are beheaded and pruned every spring, and carbendazim is applied to the incision, which can promote the germination of lateral buds to form a multi-headed group state. The chocolate square tile disease prevention and control system has established a prevention-oriented protection mechanism: 800 times of mancozeb solution is used to irrigate roots every quarter to prevent black spot disease, and small white medicine is mixed in the pot soil to prevent root mealybugs. If nematode infection is found, the disinfection substrate will be replaced immediately (boiled at high temperature for 30 minutes), and roots will be irrigated continuously with 2000 times of avermectin solution for three times.
By accurately controlling the four major elements of light, warm water and fertilizer, combined with scientific reproduction and disease prevention, the chocolate square tiles can maintain a charming dark coffee color all year round. Growers are advised to establish a maintenance log to record changes in environmental parameters and plant conditions, and gradually grasp the cultivation secrets of this "chocolate master" in the meaty world.
