The cultivation method of Bai Ban Yu Lu
Answering netizens' questions about the planting of the succulent plant Bai Ban Yu Lu, here are the cultivation methods. The following is an introduction by the editor of this site.
Ban Yu Lu is a variegated variety of Yu Lu, with crystal-clear plants and very beautiful white variegation. The cultivation method of Bai Ban Yu Lu is also simple. It prefers semi-shade and is easy to form clusters. Cultivating Wa Wei requires patience, and Bai Ban Yu Lu is considered one of the faster-growing varieties.
The soil used by Feng筝 is a mixture of coal slag, peat, and perlite, with a little vermiculite and a small amount of pumice added, and a layer of ceramsite placed at the bottom of the pot. During the growing season, the entire plant looks very beautiful, and the potting soil is kept slightly moist, as they prefer high humidity, but this humidity is under the condition that the roots are growing well. Flower friends should note that if the roots are not well-developed and kept moist, it will rot the roots. The specific method of root development is to keep the soil slightly moist, plant the plant with dried wound in a shady and well-ventilated place to wait for new roots to grow, and then gradually give water while increasing sunlight. If it stays too shady for too long, the plant will deform and grow tall, and it will take a long time to bring it back to its original state. However, Bai Ban Yu Lu is indeed a very easy-to-grow-tall variety, and sometimes no matter how you control it, the leaves will grow long.
During the summer dormancy period, due to high temperatures, the plant grows slowly or stops growing, and the bottom leaves will gradually dry up. Keep the potting soil slightly dry throughout the summer and give a little water at the edge of the pot every month, avoiding the leaf heart, as high temperatures can cause the core to rot. Maintain the moisture needed for the roots to grow slowly or stop growing, and it's not appropriate to just let the plant go dormant without water because it will take a long time to recover. During dormancy, some of the moisture and nutrients in the leaves can be consumed, leading to the drying and shrinking of the bottom leaves and even the entire plant.
In the summer, due to slow growth and high temperatures, the leaves of the entire plant show very little green. Each season has its own beauty. Winter is the coldest season in Huangshan, and during the entire winter, Feng筝 covers the plants with a transparent plastic cover, keeping the potting soil slightly moist and giving a little water each month to maintain warmth and humidity. The sunlight during the day can raise the temperature and the air humidity is high, making the leaves look particularly full and beautiful. The window is also bright, and the white variegation is distinct.
Plant propagation can be done through cross-pollination and sowing or hybrid pollination. It is prone to producing side buds and can also be topped to encourage new buds. Feng筝 has never tried topping because they are not accustomed to this method and have been cultivating for many years. Clustering plants are still quite beautiful. The flowering period of the plant is in spring. If the flower branches are not pollinated, the flower stalks can be cut off to prevent the plant from consuming nutrients.
The above introduction to the cultivation methods of Bai Ban Yu Lu is hoped to bring some floral knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
