How to make the bear boy's claws turn red
Boy Bear has become a popular breed in the meat world with its furry leaves and iconic red claw shape. To cultivate a red-clawed bear boy in perfect condition, you need to master its unique growth habits and maintenance points. This article will systematically analyze the mystery of the formation of Bear Boy's red claws from light regulation to four-season maintenance. Control of light intensity and time, the core elements of the formation of Bear Boy's red claws is the accumulation of anthocyanins. Maintaining direct light for 6-8 hours every day in spring and autumn can promote pigment synthesis. You can receive sunshine all day during the low temperature period in winter, and use morning light + sunshade net mode in summer to avoid burning leaves with strong ultraviolet rays from 10:00 to 16:00. Special reminder: Areas north of 35° north latitude require fill light assistance in winter. Temperature difference adjustment skills When the temperature difference between day and night reaches 10-15℃, the blush at the tip of the leaves is most obvious. In spring and autumn, open-air maintenance can be achieved to achieve natural temperature differences. In winter, indoor maintenance is recommended to move 1 meter away from the window to cool down at night. In summer, water curtains or spray are used to create a local microclimate. The matrix ratio of Xiongzi's annual maintenance system and the gold ratio of 70% particulate soil (red jade soil + volcanic rock + medical stone)+30% peat soil are recommended for basin selection. The particulate content of old piles can be increased to 80%. The selection of pots follows the principle of "wide mouth and shallow pots", and the diameter is 3-5cm larger than the crown width. Red pottery pots and rough pottery pots are the first choice. The intelligent watering plan adopts the "dipping pot method" to replenish water every 10 days in spring, and the summer dormant period is changed to the "edge dripping method" once a month. After growth resumes in autumn, water 200ml along the pot wall every week. The low temperature period in winter is extended to 15 days/time. Special note: In the rainy season of Jiangnan plum blossoms, electric fans need to be used to enhance ventilation. Nutrient replenishment strategy Adult plants are applied with special slow-release fertilizer for multi-meat once a quarter, and bone meal is added as base fertilizer when changing pots. During the growth period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (concentration ≤0.2%) can be sprayed every 20 days to promote the color development of red claws. Remember to avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer causing excessive growth. Special problem handling plan protective measures during summer When the temperature continues to exceed 30℃, the plants should be moved to the north-facing balcony and used with a 40% sunshade net. Water is cut off immediately when leaves fall occurs, and roots are irrigated with 800 times carbendazim solution to prevent black rot. Key points for anti-freezing in winter should keep the maintenance temperature ≥5℃, and close windows at night to avoid direct cold air blowing. A combination of double-layer insulation shed + heating line can be used, and the air humidity can be controlled at about 40%.
Through precise light management and scientific maintenance system, the bear boy's red claw characteristics can remain bright throughout the year. It is recommended to take growth record photos every quarter and compare and adjust the maintenance plan so that this "cute bear" always shows its best posture.
