Jelly girl's heart cultivation methods and precautions
Do you know these? The content about the cultivation methods and precautions of Jelly girl's heart, and the knowledge of the plants about how to raise old stakes of Jelly girl's heart is as follows:
Jelly girl's heart, also known as love heart, is a succulent plant of the Sedum genre in the Crassulaceae family. The stems usually grow upright, the leaves are in the shape of a spinning crescent moon, thin or fat, depending on the condition. The difference between this and the commonly said girl's heart is not significant (personally, I even think there is no difference). The Jelly girl's heart in good condition is as its name suggests, with round and thick leaves, the space between the leaves is translucent red, and the whole plant shows a pink jelly color, very cute.
About Jelly girl's heart and girl's heart
By the way, there are many similar varieties on the market that have similar plant shapes and leaf shapes to Jelly girl's heart, such as恋心 (Love Heart), 爱心 (Love), 乙女心 (girl's heart), Jelly girl's heart, 八千代 (Yasukoi); and there is some controversy. Some say they are different varieties in different conditions, while others say they are different varieties distinguished by different stem colors, leaf sizes, leaf colors, and degree of clustering.
For example, some people think that:
The leaves of girl's heart are larger and thicker, and they are very thick green when they are not in good condition. When they are in good condition, the whole leaf is orange-red. The leaves of Jelly girl's heart are relatively smaller than girl's heart. When they are not in good condition, the leaves are yellow-green and relatively transparent. When they are in good condition, the leaves change from red, orange, to lemon yellow from the tip to the end.

Some people even make group pictures to distinguish them, thinking that from left to right are Jelly girl's heart, girl's heart, and Yasukoi.

But I personally think: first, the same variety may have different plant shapes or different conditions; second, it is not scientific to say that a new variety is formed only because a certain characteristic (such as leaf color) is more obvious (unstable) due to continuous selective breeding. So I am inclined to classify as follows:
1. Love Heart is the Japanese version of Love, which is also called Jelly girl's heart;
2. Jelly girl's heart and girl's heart have no essential difference (some people say that Jelly girl's heart is just lighter blue-green than girl's heart, with relatively small leaves and easier to color, jelly color; actually, girl's heart is also biased towards blue-green when lacking sunlight).
3. The difference between girl's heart and Yasukoi is still relatively obvious. Yasukoi leaves are not as plump or arched as girl's heart, and the leaf color is relatively brighter green or lighter yellow.
4. In fact, from these names, it can be seen that they are all horticultural varieties from Japan and South Korea, and they are even just different names.
How to cultivate Jelly girl's heart to achieve jelly color
First, ensure the plant is healthy and strong. It is easier to achieve good conditions in spring and autumn, so ensuring the plant is strong is the first element to achieve good conditions. It should be noted that the stems of girl's heart are prone to lignification, so avoid overwatering in daily maintenance, and it is also necessary to repot and change soil regularly (every 2 years) to ensure the plant grows strong.

Second, ensure sufficient sunlight. As a member of Sedum, it requires a lot of sunlight. Sufficient sunlight is beneficial for the precipitation of substances such as anthocyanin that affect leaf color, and on the other hand, it is conducive to photosynthesis for nutrient synthesis and storage. In spring and autumn, full sun can better color and achieve good conditions.
Third, control water appropriately. In spring and autumn, in addition to the watering habit of drying and then watering, the strong-growing ones can be intentionally controlled; reasonable water control can stimulate the succulents' stress response mechanisms in different seasons, thereby fully absorbing water and promoting the leaves to be more plump and thick.
Fourth, there should be an appropriate temperature difference. A reasonable temperature difference can not only promote better growth of the plant but also enhance the plant's Sedum metabolic function, improve nutrient synthesis efficiency, and at the same time promote the precipitation of pigment substances. In spring and autumn, if conditions allow, it can be grown in the open, and if not, it can be placed near the window to increase the temperature difference; but be careful to prevent frost when the temperature does not rise.
