Caring for Diyu during its dormant period and post-flowering recovery
Core introduction to this article: Experience with the succulent plant Diyu, focusing on its care during the dormant period and post-flowering recovery, let's learn about it together.
The dormancy of Diyu is primarily influenced by temperature, followed by light exposure. The moisture content in the medium and the humidity of the air have little effect, and can even cause plant decay during the dormant period. Within the range that the plant can tolerate, it is best to avoid watering or water minimally. Our experiments have found that Diyu will not enter dormancy as long as the average temperature does not exceed 30°C and the light is not too strong. By adopting corresponding measures such as lowering temperature, appropriately遮掩 sunlight, placing it in a well-ventilated area, and adjusting temperature and light exposure, we can delay the entry into dormancy. In autumn, as the weather cools down, we start with watering to gradually revive and resume growth. If Diyu has bloomed and has seed pods, the plant will be weak during revival, and extra care must be taken to restore growth. The specific method to resume growth is: depending on the weather, let the pot sit in water for two minutes, then place it in a low-light area with a temperature of about 20°C. After three days, let the pot sit in water again for a longer period than before, keeping the rest the same. After a week, continue to let the pot sit in water to reach the surface moisture. After three or four such sessions, Diyu generally revives. After October, proceed with normal care.
