Method of cultivating large-leafed落地生根
Today, I will introduce to you the contents about the large-leafed 落地生根, a type of succulent plant. Let's follow the editor to see the specific details!
Large-leafed 落地生根 is a perennial evergreen succulent plant of the Crassulaceae family. The leaves are long triangular or lanceolate elliptical, deep green or grayish green, with coarse sawtooth edges. Between each sawtooth, two tiny round opposite leaves can grow naturally, and a bundle of delicate aerial roots develop beneath the opposite leaves, which can fall off at a touch and immediately take root and grow into a new plant upon touching the ground. The flowers are mostly purple or red. Common ornamental species of the same genus include fine-leafed 落地生根, red-flowered 落地生根, moonrabbit grass, and Malanabbage, etc.
Large-leafed 落地生根 prefers a warm and humid environment, enjoys sunlight, is also shade-tolerant, avoids extreme heat, is drought-resistant, and thrives in well-drained fertile sandy loam soil. It likes sunlight, and maintaining 4 hours of sunlight during the growing season results in robust growth with abundant flowers and leaves.
When cultivating large-leafed 落地生根 in a pot, it is important to pinch the stem and leaves in time when they grow too tall to promote branching and maintain a full plant shape. During the growing period, water should be applied when the soil is dry and after it gets wet. In winter, watering should be strictly controlled, and do not water if the potting soil is not too dry. During the overwintering period, place it on a south-facing windowsill, and the room temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius. Below 10 degrees Celsius, it is prone to leaf shedding, and below 5 degrees Celsius, it is easily damaged. In the following spring, move it to a sunny balcony or courtyard, and during the hot summer, make sure to provide appropriate shading and good ventilation. It does not require a lot of fertilizer; generally, as long as the potting soil is relatively fertile, there is no need to add more fertilizer for robust growth. However, to promote abundant flowering, you can apply a thin compound liquid fertilizer with full elements 1 to 2 times about a month before flowering. Repot it once every spring to help maintain an elegant plant shape.
The above [] introduces a comprehensive introduction to the cultivation methods of large-leafed 落地生根, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
