A brief discussion on a personal view of a relatively successful closed-box cultivation method
The editor provides netizens with an introduction to succulent plants, discussing a personal view of a relatively successful closed-box cultivation method. Here is a detailed introduction for you:
This is a closed-box cultivation method that I consider to be relatively successful and worth promoting, even though it does not have the large planting capacity of the low-temperature humidity curtain frame introduced tonight. It is simple to make, even children can do it, and it works extremely well, especially for some high-difficulty operations.
Let's talk about the making process: buy a 45-yuan miscellaneous storage box with a lid, then put some sand or stones at the bottom to store water and prevent excessive watering and积水 at the bottom of the pot. A 5-watt oscillating fan is all you need.
Its design is simple but can maintain an ultra-high humidity air circulation. Although greenhouses can also reach saturated humidity, the air humidity will drop with temperature during direct sunlight at noon, which will not happen in this small environment. It basically maintains 99% saturated humidity continuously, and the humidity does not overflow. Therefore, you only need to water once in the summer. When the soil reaches the most suitable dryness, cover it with the lid, and you don't need to water again. You don't have to worry about the water inside decreasing, nor will the roots suffocate due to lack of fresh air because the oscillating fan is constantly blowing air into the soil. Due to the high humidity, the plant roots will not wither even if the root hairs are in the air.
It can be high temperature and high humidity, low temperature and high humidity, or have large or small temperature differences between day and night, depending on where you place it. For example, on the rooftop, it can reach 55 degrees during the day and drop to the air temperature at night. If you are propagating Echeveria in the summer, placing it in an air-conditioned room will not cause air dryness. The humidity inside is always saturated. If you put some basic fertilizer in the sand, the concentration of carbon dioxide will be very high. If used for sowing, you only need to add a light bulb to prevent僵 seedlings in winter.
Some magical effects can also be seen inside, such as mushrooms growing in the sun is common. In the summer, at 55 degrees Celsius, dormant Haworthia truncata turns purple under 75% shading, and the leaf balls are still plump. You don't need to keep the moisture for sowing either, as the whole thing, including the oscillating fan, is kept closed.
So, this is a simple design with a miraculous effect for closed-box cultivation, based on the principle of high humidity resistance to high temperature told to me by Teacher Guo Yeping in Zhangzhou.
Of course, it is necessary to mention the side effects. If the plants leave this environment, their recovery and shrinkage can be quite severe, even in my greenhouse. Therefore, when moving plants grown for a long time in the box out, it is recommended to gradually remove the lid to allow the plants to slowly adapt to normal air humidity, allowing the leaf stomata to have a gradual adaptation process. This is also why I don't like to use it for growing bulbs, as the humidity it maintains is too exaggerated.
