Heaven-measuring Scale
The editor introduces you to the introduction of the succulent plant Heaven-measuring Scale, including the planting and management methods of the Heaven-measuring Scale (霸王花). If there are any mistakes, please feel free to correct them!
The Heaven-measuring Scale (霸王花) prefers loose, fertile, and humus-rich soil. Potting soil can be mixed with one part of decomposed leaf soil and one part of coarse sand, and a small amount of decomposed chicken or cow manure is added to make the growing medium.
In summer, it should be kept in a semi-shaded environment for maintenance. In winter, sufficient sunlight is required, and it should be placed in a sunny indoor area with a temperature of 10°C or above. If the temperature drops below 10°C, frost damage is likely to occur.
In spring, watering should not be excessive, once every 10-15 days is sufficient, but water should be sprayed on the plant every day to increase humidity. In summer, water should be given once a day, preferably in the morning or evening. In winter, the potting soil should be kept moderately dry, and the pot can be wrapped with plastic film to protect it from frost.
Pruning of the Heaven-measuring Scale (霸王花):
First, cut off the old branches that rarely bloom.
Second, take advantage of the vigorous growth of the top new buds and remove the weak buds growing below to allow the top buds to fully develop and elongate, thus utilizing the apical dominance. The霸王花 blooms from May to November, with about 7-8 cycles, each cycle separated by about 20 days. The size of the flowers is determined 25-30 days after the buds appear. This is also the best harvesting period. The best time to harvest is the next morning or afternoon after the flowers bloom. The flowers for sale and export are processed into dried flowers.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to the planting and management methods of the Heaven-measuring Scale (霸王花), hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
