How to cultivate Ping Pong Fuyang
Let me share with you some experience on how to cultivate Ping Pong Fuyang and the precautions for its succulent planting in terms of green plant maintenance. Let's take a look together.
Ping Pong Fuyang is a succulent plant belonging to the Crassula family and the Serpyllium genus. Its leaves are plump and white, and they will show a hint of light pink when exposed to sufficient light and under conditions of significant temperature differences, making it look particularly charming. However, many enthusiasts' Ping Pong Fuyang plants not only have dull colors but also often exhibit undesirable conditions such as black rot and shriveling. So, how can we make the leaves of Ping Pong Fuyang plump and delicate with vibrant colors? Actually, by doing four things regularly, you can achieve this.
Use light to prevent leggy growth
If you want the leaves of Ping Pong Fuyang to be plump, you need to prevent leggy growth. The most likely cause of leggy growth in Ping Pong Fuyang is a lack of light. If there is insufficient light for an extended period, the leaves will become flat and thin, and the distance between the leaves will significantly increase, ruining the plant's aesthetics. Without enough light, Ping Pong Fuyang cannot color properly, so the first step in caring for Ping Pong Fuyang is to provide it with adequate light.
Suggestion: Although Ping Pong Fuyang loves light, it will enter a dormant state during the high-temperature summer season to protect itself. At this time, the plant's resistance is weak, and its demand for light is low, so we should keep it in a well-ventilated and shady place, allowing it to receive only bright scattered light. Outside of summer, the more light the better.
Use water control to stimulate leaf plumpness
Many enthusiasts believe that sufficient watering will make the leaves of Ping Pong Fuyang plump, but in fact, the opposite is true. Only by controlling water regularly will Ping Pong Fuyang have a sense of water deficiency, allowing it to store water in its leaves when watered, making the leaves more plump.
Suggestion: When watering Ping Pong Fuyang, you should water it thoroughly only after the potting soil is completely dry. You can control the water every two weeks or a month, which means that after the potting soil of Ping Pong Fuyang is completely dry, you should wait three to five days or even a week before watering. In this alternating wet and dry condition, Ping Pong Fuyang will store water in its leaves, making them more plump and with higher water content.
How to cultivate Ping Pong Fuyang
Use ventilation to prevent black rot
Ping Pong Fuyang leaves are plump but also relatively dense, so poor ventilation can easily lead to black rot or attract diseases and pests. Therefore, good ventilation is a necessary condition for successfully growing Ping Pong Fuyang.
Suggestion: If possible, keep Ping Pong Fuyang in an outdoor open environment or near a window for maintenance. These areas have good ventilation and sufficient temperature differences, making Ping Pong Fuyang healthier and easier to color.
More outdoor maintenance
Many succulents can become more beautiful when maintained outdoors, and Ping Pong Fuyang is no exception. The outdoor environment not only provides ample light but also good ventilation, allowing excess water to evaporate quickly. The significant day-night temperature differences help Ping Pong Fuyang achieve more vibrant colors and enhance its resistance, which is very helpful for surviving the summer and winter seasons.
Suggestion: It's best to maintain Ping Pong Fuyang outdoors only during the spring and autumn seasons. In summer, the high temperatures cause the plant to enter a dormant state, and in winter, the cold temperatures can easily damage the plant. Therefore, only spring and autumn are suitable for outdoor maintenance, and you should avoid long periods of rainy weather.
In summary, to make the leaves of Ping Pong Fuyang plump and color quickly, we need to provide sufficient light, proper water control, and good ventilation during daily maintenance, along with regular outdoor maintenance. Your Ping Pong Fuyang can also grow healthily with vibrant colors.
