Method of Cultivating the Succulent Plant Moses Stone莲花
Article Abstract: Topics related to the succulent plant Moses Stone莲花, cultivation methods for the succulent plant Moses Stone莲花, and specific details are as follows:
Moses Stone莲花 requires plenty of sunshine and a cool, dry environment, is tolerant of semi-shade, afraid of waterlogging, and dislikes humid heat. It has the habit of growing in cool seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures. From September of each year to June of the following year is the growing period of the plant (different environments of plant friends may have different growth periods). Insufficient sunlight will cause the plant's leaves to slightly elongate, and the red edges of the leaves will gradually fade; plants growing in sufficient sunlight will have a stocky shape with leaves arranged closely.
The Moses Stone莲花 cultivated by Kite is kept in a sunroom with full sun exposure. During the growing period, it is necessary to keep the soil moist and avoid waterlogging. Kite uses a mixture of coal slag and peat, with a small amount of perlite, in a ratio of approximately 5:4:1, and covers the soil surface with clean large-grain river sand. Moses Stone莲花 can tolerate temperatures as low as about -4°C, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoor. If it gets any lower, the growing tips of the leaves will suffer frostbite and dry up, and the plant will basically stop watering throughout the winter, starting to reduce watering when temperatures drop below 5 degrees.
During the high temperatures of summer, the entire plant grows slowly or stops completely. At this time, it is important to have good ventilation and appropriate shading to avoid direct sunlight, reduce watering, and prevent prolonged rain to avoid rotting of the plant. The propagation of Moses Stone莲花 usually involves cutting off the top to burst off young seedlings and leaf insertion. Seeding is slower, and the cut-off plant can be directly inserted into dry granular soil, and water can be given in small amounts after roots have developed.
Moses Stone莲花 is a relatively easy-to-grow variety, but it grows slowly. The leaf insertion method involves taking a full and plump leaf, placing it in a shaded area to dry the wound (Kite usually just drops the leaf on the soil surface, ensuring the wound does not touch the soil), then placing it on slightly moist soil. It will slowly grow roots and then germinate. The process is a bit long, but it can result in multiple small side buds. Once the side buds grow, they can be taken and inserted.
