How to care for Ji Yulu
Today's focus is on the introduction of succulent plants, specifically how to care for Ji Yulu, with the following details:
Speaking of how to care for Ji Yulu, it is better to discuss experiences under various conditions, as this will help enthusiasts more effectively. Simply stating how often to water or where to place it may not be beneficial for everyone. Let's look at the temperature, humidity, and lighting that need attention during the care process of Ji Yulu.
1. Temperature: Although Ji Yulu can survive in an environment between 5℃ and 40℃, this environment only maintains its survival. Don't cruelly test its survival ability in extreme cold or heat. Just like a person, if you let them live in extremely cold or hot conditions, even if they survive, their body will be damaged, and they might even develop various illnesses.
In summary, if you can provide a better environment for it, act quickly. Any negligence or damage may be fatal. If not, try to improve conditions, such as placing it behind other plants in the summer or covering it with a plastic bag in the winter.
2. Humidity: When discussing humidity, we also talk about "stuffy" cultivation. Many experts have differing opinions on this. The benefits of stuffy cultivation include clear windows, green and clean plants, and rapid growth, among others. However, I have not chosen to use this method. It's like keeping a person in a closed environment for a long time, with poor air circulation and isolation from the outside world, which won't be good for their health. Moreover, a closed environment with some humidity is not only liked by Ji Yulu but also by bacteria. There's also a significant drawback: large temperature differences in small environments can change rapidly, much like a child locked in a car in the summer, where the temperature can rise sharply and be lethal.
3. Lighting: The issue of lighting is similar to temperature. What新手 need to know is that if the plant's color darkens, it needs to be shaded; if there are signs of etiolation, more light is needed.
4. Soil mix: Ji Yulu can survive in any type of soil, and some articles even suggest that it grows larger in pure peat. I think for experts, as long as the soil is not completely airtight, it won't kill the plant. But for someone like me, who is semi-new, I would choose all-grain soil and a ceramic pot. Even if it's not cared for well, it won't die, even if you water it once a day.
5. Seedlings: The only point is that when Ji Yulu produces flower spikes and you want to collect seeds, you should cross-pollinate and occasionally apply fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium.
6. Fertilizing Ji Yulu is done during its vigorous growth. Some might ask when it is vigorous. The answer is: when it is very green.
The summary is done. Let me add a few more points. I think whether it's raising succulents or pets, the biggest secret to doing it well is that we truly feel their living environment. If we feel comfortable, they will too. Conversely, if we can't even stay in their living space for a minute, they won't be able to grow happily.

I was too lazy to upload pictures, but since everyone is so complimentary, I'll take the trouble. These are the 100 little chicks I bought, with a three-month comparison. The order is mixed up, but it's not hard to tell which ones are current.
