The cultivation method of the succulent plant Lü Qianhui
Do you know these? The knowledge about Lü Qianhui succulent plant, the cultivation method of Lü Qianhui succulent plant, let's get to know together next.
Lü Qianhui is a succulent plant belonging to the Crassula family and Sedum genus. Lü Qianhui has thick greenish-white leaves opposite and closely arranged, with rough leaf surface and fine granules. The corymbose cyme is terminal, with small orange-red flowers, five-angled mini petals, and follicles. The flowering period is from July to September. The flowering period is quite long, and cross-pollination must occur.
Lü Qianhui requires a sunny and cool, dry environment, can tolerate semi-shade, afraid of waterlogging, and dislikes hot and humid conditions. It has the habit of growing in cold and cool seasons, and dormant in high summer temperatures and low winter temperatures. From September to December each year and from March to July are the growing periods of the plant (different environments of flower friends also result in different growing periods). Insufficient light can cause the plant to grow too tall, with a long distance between the leaves, making the plant loose and the stem very weak. Plants growing in full sunlight have a short and strong shape, with leaves closely arranged.
The Lü Qianhui kite is cultivated in a sunroom with full sunlight. During the growing period, keep the soil slightly moist and avoid waterlogging. The soil used by the kite is a mixture of coal slag and peat, with a small amount of perlite, in a ratio of about 6:3:1. Lü Qianhui can tolerate a low temperature of about 2 degrees Celsius when the potting soil is dry, which is indoor temperature, not outdoor. It basically stops watering throughout the winter, and should start reducing water when the temperature drops below 5 degrees Celsius. Keeping above 0 degrees Celsius in winter is necessary, as too low temperatures can cause the plant to freeze and die, it is very cold-resistant. When the temperature exceeds 35℃ in summer, the plant's growth basically stops.
At this time, reduce watering to prevent root rot due to excessively moist potting soil. Strengthen ventilation, provide appropriate shade, and avoid direct sunlight exposure. This is the basic care throughout the summer. It is worth mentioning that in summer, the kite does not completely stop watering; it only gives a small amount of water to prevent the old leaves from drying and falling off. Watering is done near the edge of the pot, about twice a month, between 7-9 pm when the sun has set, which will not affect the plant's roots.
In cultivation, avoid long-term rain exposure to prevent stem rot. Lü Qianhui grows relatively fast, and it's enough to repot every 2-4 years, preferably before the first watering in early spring. The shape of Lü Qianhui will not be too large; it branches easily. Propagation can be done by cutting the top and dividing the plant. Stem cutting is simple; take a healthy old stem, let it dry, and plant it in slightly moist sand. In a shady and well-ventilated place, it will basically grow roots in more than 20 days. Do not water too often during propagation, as it can easily cause stem rot. Propagation should be done in spring and autumn.
The above introduces the specific cultivation method of the Lü Qianhui succulent plant, hoping to bring some flower knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
