Hli is a plant from the Crassulaceae family, Sedum genus. There are various experiences among plant enthusiasts on how to care for Hli. Let's take a look at how the author cares for their Hli.
Hli leaves are arranged in a small rosette shape, with a waxy surface on the leaves. The leaf edges may show a slight pink in the sunlight (under low water conditions), and the leaves may also turn slightly red during winter with large temperature differences (not obvious), usually ranging from green to yellow. The color of Hli at each growth stage is different, making it quite visually appealing. Hli easily grows lateral branches, which also grow quite rapidly. Without sufficient light, the plant's leaves will stretch out, creating a large distance between leaves, making them thinner and not as yellow. Hli is a variety that easily grows tall and leggy. To achieve dense leaves with a golden color, it requires strong sunlight. Otherwise, with some water, it will become leggy and the color will not develop. However, Hli is easy to shape into an old stem. Hli flowers are white, with scattered panicles, and the flowers have five petals that face upwards.
The soil for Hli can be a mix of peat and coal cinder, in a ratio of 3:7. Hli is a very easy-to-care-for variety, and it can grow well even in garden soil, so there is no special soil mixture needed. Watering should be thorough only when the soil is completely dry, and no watering when it's not dry. Spring and autumn are the growth periods, during which it can be exposed to full sunlight. In summer, it has a slight dormancy period. Ensure good ventilation and shade, and water 4 to 5 times a month during the hot summer, without thorough watering. This is enough to maintain the plant's normal growth, as excessive water in summer can lead to rot. In winter, gradually reduce watering when temperatures drop below 5 degrees, and keep the soil dry below 3 degrees, trying to maintain a temperature not lower than -3 degrees to safely survive the winter. Excessive water in the cold winter can cause root rot. When watering, try to water directly into the soil, and the leaves can be frequently washed under good weather and ventilation conditions to maintain their cleanliness. Actually, Hli is very easy to care for and is one of the首选 varieties for beginners to practice with.
Hli propagation mainly relies on lateral buds, leaf cuttings, and topping. After topping, new buds grow from the remaining stem roots to continue the lineage. It is very easy to grow lateral buds with a high survival rate. Leaf cuttings can produce a large number of seedlings, making it the preferred method for greenhouse propagation. The author has never tried播种, and spring is the season for lateral buds to burst, with the fastest growth rate. Hli can be propagated all year round; small leaves can be placed on the soil surface or inserted into the soil to grow into independent plants.
