Kuaidao Luanma is a succulent plant from the Aizoaceae family, native to the Cape Province of South Africa. It grows to a height of 20-30 centimeters with short joints on the stem and many branches. The leaves are concentrated at the top of the branches, opposite, slender, and flat, with a split at the tip and a rounded outer edge, resembling a knife. The color ranges from light green to gray-green. The flower stalk of Kuaidao Luanma is relatively long, with the flower color mainly yellow, about 2-4 centimeters in size.
Kuaidao Luanma prefers a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight, is not cold-resistant, and can tolerate semi-shade and drought. It dislikes excessive moisture and strong sunlight exposure, and has a slight dormancy in summer. Kuaidao Luanma needs sufficient sunlight to make the plant more compact and beautiful. Insufficient sunlight results in green leaves, with loose leaf arrangement and elongation. Kuaidao Luanma can be repotted every two to four years depending on its growth, with the pot diameter slightly larger than the plant diameter to promote growth. The soil must be dry before watering, and slow-release fertilizer can be applied.
The propagation of Kuaidao Luanma is done through seeding and cutting the top, as well as by taking lateral buds for cutting and cross-pollination. The clustering old stems of Kuaidao Luanma are quite attractive.
Friends' experience:
The "Kuaidao Luanma" that Gengfeng grows is in a sunroom. Once the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it will be shaded and watered slowly, with little or no water during the entire summer dormancy period. Excessive water and high temperatures can cause root rot, so remember this. By mid-September, when the temperature drops, watering is gradually resumed. Kuaidao Luanma that has adapted to the sunroom can still grow slowly in summer, and dormancy is not very noticeable. However, due to less water, the leaves will become more compact and slightly wrinkled.
In winter, if the temperature can be maintained above 2 degrees, normal watering can be given. Below 0 degrees, watering should be stopped, as it can easily cause frostbite and root rot. Although it is cold in winter, it is not necessary to completely stop watering throughout the winter. Gengfeng will slightly water near the edge of the pot away from the plant's roots during warm noon breaks. Never spray or give too much water, as water left in the leaf center for too long can cause rot, especially since the leaves are highly succulent.
In spring, as the temperature rises, normal watering can be gradually resumed. Kuaidao Luanma is relatively easy to care for. Gengfeng often pours a ladle of water over the plant during the growing season (this is not done during the flowering period, as it can cause flower bud rot), but the plant still looks very clean and beautiful, provided that ventilation is good. In addition to shading appropriately in summer, full sunlight is suitable for the other seasons.
The soil Gengfeng uses is a mixture of peat and granular coal slag and river sand, with clean large granular river sand laid on the soil surface, focusing on breathable soil.
