Red roll silk has captured the hearts of many plant lovers with its unique gradient leaf color. This succulent plant will show a charming purple-red gradient effect when there is sufficient light. However, many novices often encounter problems such as leaf fading and water melting during the maintenance process. This article will systematically sort out key maintenance points to help you create bright and healthy plants. Basic maintenance tips for red meat plants Soil preparation plan Mix legular soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 2:1, and add 5% bone meal to enhance nutrition. This loose substrate ensures smooth drainage and avoids root rot. The pot soil should be replaced every two years, and 1/3 of the heart soil should be retained when changing pots in spring can reduce stress reactions. The light control art requires 6 hours of direct light every day, and the south-facing window sill is the best choice. Full sunshine maintenance can be carried out in spring and autumn, and 30% shade needs to be covered at 10-14 o'clock in summer. Observe the color change of the leaves: When pink smudge appears on the leaf edge, it means that the light intensity is suitable. Four seasons maintenance focuses on controlling temperature and humidity management to maintain the gold growth temperature of 18-22℃, and no lower than 8℃ in winter. When the temperature exceeds 30℃ in summer, turn on the circulating fan to cool down with spray in the morning and evening. Watering follows the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet", and in winter, long-spout pots are used to provide a small amount of water along the edge of the basin. Nutrient replenishment strategy Apply low nitrogen and high potassium fertilizer (N-P-K=5-15-30) every month during the growth period and dilute to 1/2 of the standard concentration. Using the dipping pot method to apply fertilizer can avoid residual fertilizer solution on the leaves and avoid direct light within 8 hours after fertilization. Breeding methods and precautions for red roll silk Special problem solutions Protective measures for summer Build a 50% sunshade net to cooperate with morning and evening spraying to maintain environmental ventilation. When the leaves are found to be soft, the water will be cut off immediately, and the temperature will drop below 25℃ at night before resuming watering. Use a fill light to maintain light during continuous rainy days. The transparent leaves were immediately removed after the first aid treatment of hydration, and the wound was applied with carbendazim and placed in a ventilated and cool place.

Space placement is recommended for closed balcony maintenance. You need to rotate the flowerpot 180° every week to ensure uniform light reception. The east-facing window sill is suitable for placement in spring, autumn and winter. In summer, it is recommended to move it to a north-facing ventilated place. Use a fill light during indoor display, and fill light for 4 hours a day to maintain the leaf color.
By accurately controlling the intensity and duration of light, and cooperating with scientific temperature and humidity management, the red roll silk can show amazing color changes. Regularly observe plant status and adjust maintenance strategies in a timely manner, so that even novice gardeners can cultivate healthy plants with beautiful leaves. It is recommended to take growth records every month and grasp the best maintenance rhythm by comparing leaf color changes.
