Cultivation case of enthusiast Fengzheng:
The soil used is a mixture of peat and coal cinder, approximately in a 1:1 ratio without a specific proportion, focusing on breathability. To isolate the plant from direct contact with the soil surface and to enhance breathability, Fengzheng usually covers the surface with clean river sand particles. The watering method is to water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, and not to water when it's not dry. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons when it can be exposed to full sunlight.
After flowering in summer, the mother plant will die, and the side buds will enter a slight dormancy. During this time, ensure good ventilation and shading, and water 3 to 4 times a month, giving a small amount of water near the edge of the pot to maintain the plant from drying out due to excessive dryness.
In winter, when the temperature drops below 3 degrees, water should be gradually reduced. Below 0 degrees, keep the potting soil dry and try to maintain a temperature not lower than minus 5 degrees to ensure safe overwintering. Fengzheng usually waters the plants by sprinkling, which makes the leaves cleaner and clearer after being rained on and less likely to rot in the core.
晚红瓦松 (Late Red Tile Moss) shows significant changes in its state with each season, with different appearances throughout the year. 晚红瓦松 (Late Red Tile Moss) mainly relies on basal suckers (new buds that grow from the remaining stem and roots after cutting) to propagate offspring. It easily grows side buds, which can be used for propagation, and seeds can also be used for播种 after self-pollination.
