Giants鹫 Jade planting
Sharing the introduction of the succulent plant Giants鹫 Jade, Giants鹫 Jade planting, let's follow the editor to take a look!
Giants鹫 Jade, also known as fishhook ball, has an initial short cylindrical shape and becomes short cylindrical when mature. The body color is bluish green, and the epidermis is thick. The ball diameter is about 30cm, with a height of 80～100cm, having 13 ridges that are high and thin, with large and prominent thorn seats on the ridge peaks. There are 10-12 white bristle-like peripheral spines, 4 central spines, with one main spine in the middle being flat conical, having ring patterns, and a hook at the end, resembling a fishhook. New spines are reddish-brown, while old spines are gray-brown. Giants鹫 Jade flowers are about 4 to 6 centimeters in diameter, with pale yellow petals and a pink stripe that fades from the center of the petal to the leaf heart, blooming from May to July and cross-pollinated.
Kite's Giants鹫 Jade soil mixture is relatively simple, initially using vegetable garden soil, and has not changed pots for several years. This variety of Giants鹫 Jade is not very resistant to direct sunlight, and when it is hottest on Kite's roof, the temperature of the pot next to the ball exceeds 50 degrees, but it is gradually exposed to the sun, and the green ball can become white under direct sunlight. During the growing season, water when completely dry, and try to give less water to mature plants. Kite usually waters only when the soil is very dry, basically watering thoroughly. Summer is the growing season, and the plant should be well-ventilated and not watered by rain. From March to December is the growing season, and watering is done only when it is very dry. Although the plant is exposed to direct sunlight during the growing season, shading is done once the temperature exceeds 35 degrees. Although the more the strong spined varieties are exposed to the sun, the more beautiful the spines become, the thin ridges of Giants鹫 Jade are easily sunburned.
In the cold winter, when the temperature is below 0 degrees, Kite almost does not water, and at this time, the plant enters a dormant period. Cutting off water can prevent frostbite and root rot caused by low temperatures. When the potting soil is dry, Giants鹫 Jade is relatively resistant to low temperatures. In Kite's greenhouse, at minus 4 degrees, Giants鹫 Jade does not show any changes, and this temperature is measured inside the greenhouse. Kite usually places a pot of water inside the greenhouse, and if the water freezes, it needs to be heated. As long as it is not outdoors, such temperatures can still be endured by Giants鹫 Jade. During the growing season, water is given when it is very dry, and it is basically not watered from the top, as poor ventilation can easily cause rot. In spring, watering must be gradual, and attention should be paid to changes in the weather. Giants鹫 Jade is still relatively easy to take care of. Propagation is mainly by sowing, and it rarely produces side buds.
