The cultivation method of succulent plant "Xiao ye tian zhang"
Let's talk about the knowledge of the succulent plant "Xiao ye tian zhang", the cultivation method of Xiao ye tian zhang. Here is a detailed introduction.
Xiao ye tian zhang requires a sufficient amount of sunlight and a cool, dry environment. It can tolerate semi-shade but is afraid of waterlogging and dislikes hot and humid conditions. It has the habit of growing in cold seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures. From September to December of each year and from March to June of the following year is the growing period of the plant (different environments of plant friends may result in different growth periods). Insufficient sunlight will cause the plant's leaves to elongate, and the color of the leaves will gradually become fragile; plants growing in sufficient sunlight will have a shorter, stocky shape with relatively compact and sturdy leaf arrangement.
The "Xiao ye tian zhang" cultivated by Kite is kept in a sunroom with full sun exposure. During the growing period, the soil should be kept moist but avoid waterlogging. Kite uses a mixture of coal slag and peat, with a small amount of perlite, in a ratio of approximately 6:3:1. Xiao ye tian zhang can tolerate temperatures as low as about -4°C, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoor. If it gets any colder, the leaves and the growing tips of the plant will suffer frostbite and dry up, leading to death. During the entire winter, watering is largely stopped or reduced, and below 5 degrees, watering should be gradually reduced. In high summer temperatures, the whole plant grows slowly or stops completely. At this time, good ventilation and appropriate shading are required to avoid direct sunlight. Watering should be moderate, and the plant should not be exposed to prolonged rain to prevent rot.
The propagation of Xiao ye tian zhang is usually done by branching or leaf cuttings. Cut branches can be directly planted in dry granular soil. After a few days, a small amount of water can be given, and it is easy to root. Leaf cuttings are a bit slower. Take off the full and plump leaves, place them in a shaded place to dry the wound, and then place them on the soil, which should not be too wet but slightly moist. They will slowly germinate and grow into new plants. Xiao ye tian zhang is a slow-growing variety, so plant friends need to be patient.
