How to care for the succulent peach beauty
The peach beauty loves light. The brighter the light, the more beautiful the plant's color. Increase light exposure in winter. Apart from long-term dormancy of the peach ovary during dry and cold weather in summer, the plant is in development at other times, suitable for outdoor planting in a sunny area. If the light is insufficient, the leaves will appear light green and become flat and sparse.
Cultivation method of peach beauty
1. Soil requirements
Soil preference: Fertile, loose, and well-drained sandy soil.
Land preparation: Prepare peat soil, perlite, and cinders in a 1:1:1 ratio, put them in the flowerpot, and cover the outer side of the potting soil with clean river sand, about 3~5cm thick.
2. Watering requirements
Watering standard: Better to be dry than flooded.
Growth period watering: The common peach ovary is in the growth period in spring and autumn, and it can be watered 1-2 times per month.
Summer irrigation: The temperature is high in summer, and water evaporates quickly, so it is appropriate to provide some shade and enhance ventilation. Watering 3-4 times a month is sufficient.
Winter watering: The leaves of peach flowers are thick and contain a lot of water. When the temperature is below -3°C, there is no need to water, and the dry potting soil is safe for overwintering.
3. Lighting requirements
Growth period lighting: During the growth period, it can tolerate full-day sunlight, and sufficient lighting makes the plant grow more compactly.
Summer lighting: In summer, prevent direct sunlight, and if the light is too strong, provide some shade.
Autumn light: Autumn is also a growth period for the peach beauty, and it can be arranged for central maintenance under sufficient lighting.
Winter lighting: The peach beauty is cold-resistant, and it also needs sufficient lighting in winter, so you can place the plant in a sunny balcony for maintenance.
4. Temperature requirements
Development temperature: 10°C to 20°C.
Summer temperature: When the temperature is above 30°C, it is necessary to move it into the room for maintenance. When the temperature is above 35°C, the plant will enter a dormant period and stop developing.
Winter temperature: The winter temperature only needs to be no lower than 5°C, and the plant can safely overwinter, but it is best to keep the temperature at 10°C and maintain dry potting soil.
