Today, I will elaborate on the little knowledge of the succulent plant Miye Lian for netizens. Let's see how to care for Miye Lian!
Also known as Darley Dale, a transliteration of the name, Miye Lian is a succulent plant belonging to the Sedum genus of the Crassulaceae family, with the scientific name Sedeveria 'Darley Dale'. It is a horticultural hybrid of the Sedum and Echeveria genera. In this article, we will learn how to care for Miye Lian. Miye Lian has a single head that is not very large, about 3-5 cm, with the largest reaching 8 cm. However, it easily forms clusters, with long, slender leaves that are obliquely pointed at the front and densely arranged around the stems.
Under certain temperature differences and lighting, the leaf edges of Miye Lian can easily turn red or orange-red, which is very beautiful. The flower stalks of Miye Lian are tall, with clustered inflorescences in a串状 arrangement, small bell-shaped white flowers. The flowers have five petals and are very beautiful, blooming in early summer and capable of cross-pollination.
During the growing season, Miye Lian can be exposed to full sunlight. In the summer, ensure ventilation and shading, water 3 to 4 times a month, and slowly provide water around the pot edges to get through the hot summer without the roots drying out due to excessive dryness. In winter, gradually reduce watering when the temperature is below 3 degrees Celsius, keeping the potting soil dry below 0 degrees Celsius, and try to maintain a temperature not lower than minus 5 degrees Celsius to safely survive the winter. Try to reduce watering in winter, and increase watering gradually in spring to prevent root rot.
It is important for plant enthusiasts to note that if there is too much water during daily maintenance or too much water during seasonal changes, the leaves are easily dislodged when touched gently, and they can easily rot. Reducing watering or gradually increasing it can help avoid leaf drop or stem rot. Any plump leaves that fall can be propagated through leaf insertion, which is very easy.
After being topped, Miye Lian easily grows lateral branches. The old stems do not grow too thick and are easily branched. To make the plant more beautiful, topping should be done when it is time to stimulate the growth of lateral buds, making the plant look more beautiful when it forms a cluster.
The main propagation methods of Miye Lian include sowing, dividing plants, topping, and leaf insertion.
