Care Experience of Echeveria 'Pulidonis' from the Crassula Family
Today, the editor will explain the relevant experience of the succulent plant Echeveria 'Pulidonis', the care experience of Echeveria 'Pulidonis' from the Crassula family, and the following is an introduction in detail.
Echeveria 'Pulidonis', a perennial succulent herbaceous plant of the Crassula family, is a medium to small-sized variety. The plant's leaves are densely arranged in a rosette shape. The leaves are thick and long spoon-shaped, with thin edges and pointed tips. The leaf color is light green, which becomes darker under strong light, significant day-night temperature differences, or in winter. The leaf edges turn purplish-red. In low light, the leaf color is light green. The leaf edges often show purplish-red in large temperature differences. The leaf surface is covered with a light powdery substance, and the older leaves naturally shed the powder to become smooth.
Echeveria 'Pulidonis' needs ample sunlight for the leaf color and edges to be vibrant, and the plant will be tighter and more beautiful. Insufficient sunlight results in light leaf color and loose, elongated leaf arrangement. Echeveria 'Pulidonis' is more beautiful when young, and with good light, the leaves will be very short. As it grows larger, the leaves are difficult to control and tend to elongate, even with daily sun exposure. This is the most obvious difference from the Moonlight Goddess. After years of clustering, the plant becomes very spectacular. Echeveria 'Pulidonis' has a paniculate inflorescence with slightly yellow flowers and five-lobed tips.
Echeveria 'Pulidonis' requires a sunny, cool, and dry environment, is tolerant of partial shade, dislikes waterlogging, and avoids humid heat. It has the habit of growing in cool seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures. The growing period is from September to November of each year to March to June of the following year (the growing period varies depending on the environment of the plant爱好者). Insufficient light will cause the plant's leaves to elongate, and the red edges will gradually fade. Plants growing in ample sunlight will be short and sturdy, with紧凑 leaf arrangement. The Echeveria 'Pulidonis' in Kite's collection is kept in a sunroom with full sunlight.
During the growing period, keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Kite uses a mixture of coal slag, peat, and a small amount of perlite for the soil, with a ratio of approximately 6:3:1. Echeveria 'Pulidonis' can tolerate temperatures as low as -4°C, which is the indoor temperature, not in the open air. Lower temperatures will cause the leaf tips to freeze and dry out, and the entire plant will stop growing during the winter, with watering almost completely stopped below 5 degrees.
In the high summer temperatures, the entire plant grows slowly or stops completely. At this time, ensure good ventilation and appropriate shading to avoid direct sunlight, reduce watering, and prevent long-term rain to avoid plant rot.
The propagation of Echeveria 'Pulidonis' usually involves cutting off the top to burst young plants or leaf insertion. The cut plants can be directly inserted into dry granular soil, and after a few days, a small amount of water can be given, which easily promotes root growth. Leaf insertion is a bit slower. Remove the full and plump leaves, let the wounds dry in a shaded place, then place them on the soil, which should not be too wet, just slightly moist, and they will gradually germinate and grow into new plants.
