The Cultivation Method of Multi-meat Lu Jing
For many girls, the content about multi-meat plants, specifically the cultivation method of multi-meat Lu Jing, is as follows:
Multi-meat Lu Jing is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Urticaceae Cold Water Flower genus, scientific name Pilea serpyllacea 'Globosa'. Lu Jing is not very popular, so there isn't much information about its cultivation method online. Lu Jing is also called table lamp flower, and its leaves only show a very beautiful red when there is a large temperature difference in winter. Lu Jing blooms white flowers, which are hermaphroditic and cross-pollinated.
Lu Jing requires a sunny and cool, dry environment, is relatively shade-tolerant, dislikes waterlogging, and avoids hot and humid conditions. It has the habit of growing in cold seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures. Lu Jing is not picky about soil, as long as the peat soil mixed with coarse sand maintains good drainage. From September of each year to June of the following year is the growing period of the plant (different environments of flower friends may have different growing periods), if there is insufficient light, the plant may easily become leggy, the distance between leaves will be longer, making the plant loose, the stems become very fragile, the leaves will also stretch out, and the color will fade and become green. Plants growing in sufficient sunlight will have a shorter and sturdier growth, with leaves relatively closely arranged, and Lu Jing grows at a moderate pace.
During the growing period, the soil should be kept slightly moist and avoid waterlogging. For soil, a mixture of coal slag, peat, and a small amount of pearl rock is used, with a ratio of about 6:3:1, and the soil surface is covered with deer moss and red jade soil. Lu Jing can endure temperatures as low as minus 2 degrees Celsius when the potting soil is dry, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoors. Watering is almost stopped throughout the winter, and watering should be gradually reduced when the temperature drops below 5 degrees.
When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius in summer, the plant's growth basically stops. At this time, watering should be reduced to prevent root rot caused by excessively moist potting soil. Ventilation should be enhanced, and appropriate shading is necessary to avoid direct sunlight exposure. This kind of care is maintained throughout the summer. It is worth noting that in summer, the plant is not completely deprived of water; only a small amount of water is given to prevent the plant from drying out. Watering is done at the edge of the pot, about 2-4 times a month, between 7 and 9 pm when the sun has already set, which will not affect the plant's roots. It is necessary to avoid long-term rain soaking to prevent root damage and yellowing decay of branches. Since Lu Jing grows relatively fast, repotting every 1-2 years is sufficient, usually done before the first watering in early spring.
The Propagation Method of Multi-meat Lu Jing
Lu Jing can be propagated by cutting and dividing. The cutting method is very simple, as Lu Jing easily branches out. Take a healthy old branch, let it dry, and then insert it into slightly moist sandy soil. It will usually grow roots in more than 20 days in a shady and well-ventilated place. Do not water too often during cutting, as it may easily cause stem rot. Cutting should be done in spring and autumn.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of the cultivation method of multi-meat Lu Jing, hoping it can act as a starting point to solve your problems with green plants.
