Precautions for meat farming
With its cute appearance and low maintenance threshold, succulent plants have become the most popular desktop green plants for urban people. However, in order to grow a full and bright "jelly color" and meat, we need to master scientific cultivation methods. This article will explain in detail the four core maintenance technologies through illustrations to help you create a healthy meaty garden. Light control plan for succulent plant basic maintenance system The photosynthetic efficiency of succulent plants is directly related to light intensity. Full sunshine (6-8 hours/day) can be accepted in spring and autumn, and a light meter can be used to maintain the illuminance of 30,000 - 50,000 lux. In summer, 50% sunshade nets need to be erected to avoid burnt spots on leaf surfaces. It is recommended to use full-spectrum LED lights for filling light in winter, and fill light for 4 hours a day 30cm away from the plant. Rotating flowerpots prevent stems from growing obliquely. The succulent substrate specialized in soil preparation technology needs to meet the standard of porosity>40%. Recommended ratio: 30% red jade soil +20% deer swamp soil +15% volcanic rock +20% peat soil +15% rice hull carbon. The basin soil needs to be replaced every 2 years, and retaining 1/3 of the core soil when changing the basin can reduce the risk of serving the basin. Self-prepared soil needs to be sterilized by high temperature steam to kill eggs and bacteria. The intelligent watering system adopts the "dry and wet cycle method": 10-15 days per time in spring and autumn, 20-25 days per time in summer, and water is cut off for maintenance in winter. Use the bamboo stick test method-insert it into the pot soil for 2 minutes, pull it out, and water it again if there are no traces of moisture. It is recommended to slowly pour the point-spout pot along the wall of the basin and cooperate with the dipping basin method (the water level reaches 1/3 of the basin height) to ensure that the deep roots absorb water. In the rainy season, the air circulation fan needs to be turned on to reduce humidity. Nutrient supply strategy During the growth period (March to May/September to November), special slow-release fertilizer for meat should be applied every month, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be recommended to be 5-10-30. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (800 times solution) can be added during the coloring period. Pay attention to avoid the use of organic fertilizers, which may cause root rot. Avoid direct strong light within 48 hours after fertilization to prevent fertilizer damage.
By establishing a four-dimensional maintenance model of light-soil-water-nutrients, and coordinating with regular inspection of pests and diseases (focusing on the control of scale insects), the meat can be maintained in the best condition. It is recommended to take growth record photos every quarter, establish exclusive maintenance files, and gradually form personalized cultivation plans. Under scientific maintenance, ordinary varieties can be cultivated into high-quality old piles in three years.
