A Brief Discussion on Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua'
Let's share some content about succulent plants. Here's a brief discussion on Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua', with the specific details as follows:
Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua', also known as 'Zichi Niannua' by some hobbyists, is easy to care for and suitable for decorating盆景 (potted landscapes). It grows quickly and is highly adaptable.
The leaves of Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua' are arranged in a small lotus-like seat, with a light powdery coating on the leaf surface. In autumn, the leaf disk extends upwards to form an inflorescence. Typically, the plant dies after flowering. To prevent this, the flower spike can be removed in the early stages of flowering.
Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua' mainly relies on lateral buds and new buds that grow from the remaining stem and roots after cutting the top to continue its lineage. It is very easy to grow lateral buds and can be propagated through them. Spring and autumn are the best times for the lateral buds to survive.
The planting material used is a mixture of peat, perlite, and pumice in a ratio of 1:1:1. To isolate the plant from direct contact with the soil surface and to enhance aeration, a layer of clean river sand particles is specially placed on top. The sand size is 3 to 5 millimeters, with a sand layer thickness of 5 millimeters. Watering is done only when the soil is completely dry, and no watering is done otherwise.
When watering, try to water only the soil, as moisture on the leaves can affect their appearance.
It is quite beautiful before lateral buds grow in childhood.
As it grows, it is covered with lateral buds.
The flower spike appears, and growth is relatively fast. The flower spike in childhood is very beautiful.
As the flower spike grows, the leaves of the parent plant gradually wither, providing nutrients to the flower spike. The lateral buds of Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua' usually take root around the plant. Before the parent leaves are completely dry, the lateral buds are separated from the parent plant with scissors. The separated lateral buds continue to grow in the soil next to them. The parent plant also blooms in its most beautiful moment before gradually dying, leaving behind a batch of lateral buds to continue propagating.
The small lateral buds can be divided into several plants, truly blossoming everywhere. As the parent plant dies, new buds regenerate, ensuring an endless cycle of offspring.
The above is a specific introduction to the cultivation of Sedum 'Zichi Lianhua' (also known as 'White蔓莲'), for reference by netizens.
