The cultivation method of Cai Chun Feng
Let me share some experience about the succulent plant Cai Chun Feng. Let's learn about the cultivation method of Cai Chun Feng together.
Some plant enthusiasts have purchased Cai Chun Feng but do not know how to cultivate it. In fact, it's not difficult. Simply put, avoid strong light in summer, place it in a well-ventilated environment, water it sparingly, water thoroughly when you do, and avoid积水 in the pot. Otherwise, it's prone to root rot in high temperature and humidity conditions. When the air is dry, you can spray a small amount of water to increase humidity.
Cai Chun Feng belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and is a variegated variety of Chun Feng Zhi Hui. Plant enthusiasts should know that the characteristics of Cai Chun Feng are very unstable, and color mutations often occur during cultivation, such as dark purple-red fleshy stems growing white or yellow patches. Sometimes, atavistic phenomena may also occur. The Cai Chun Feng we usually buy is grafted on dragon bones, and some are grafted on other rootstocks. When cultivating, we should pay attention to the habits of the rootstock to care for it.
Since the rootstock of Cai Chun Feng is mostly from the Euphorbiaceae family, it is important to keep it warm in winter to avoid frostbite, as the Euphorbiaceae family is not frost-tolerant!
Cai Chun Feng prefers a warm, dry, and sunny environment, is drought-tolerant, slightly shade-tolerant, dislikes shade and humidity, and is not cold-tolerant. In high summer temperatures, it should be slightly shaded to avoid strong direct sunlight that can burn the epidermis, and ventilation should be enhanced. Otherwise, the fleshy stem may rot due to stuffiness and humidity. During the growing season, apply a thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a month, making sure the nitrogen content in the fertilizer is not too high to avoid excessive green in the plant, which can affect its appearance. Therefore, the application of fertilizer should focus on phosphorus and potassium, with nitrogen as a supplement.
