Caring methods for succulents
Answering netizens' questions about planting succulents, the caring methods for succulents, details are as follows:
Rijia is a small to medium-sized variety, belonging to the Crassula family, with leaves that are yellow-green throughout the year. The tip of the leaves has a few purple-red spots, and the edges of the leaves are brown-red in the sun. In low light conditions, the leaves are light and tender green, and the leaves will also stretch longer, with the red edges fading slightly.
Rijia needs sufficient sunlight for the leaf color and edges to be vibrant, and the plant shape will be tighter and more beautiful. The change in light does not affect the color of the plant much, but it does have a noticeable effect on the color of the leaf edges. After years of clustering, the plant will be very spectacular, with cluster flower spikes, yellow flowers with red tips, and five lobes.
Rijia requires plenty of sunlight, a cool and dry environment, is tolerant of semi-shade, afraid of waterlogging, and dislikes humid and stuffy conditions. It has the habit of growing in cool seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures. From September of each year to June of the following year is the growing period of the plant (the growing period varies depending on the environment of the plant friends). Insufficient light will cause the plant leaves to elongate, while plants growing in full sunlight will have a short and sturdy shape with紧凑 leaf arrangement.
During the growing period, Rijia needs to keep the soil moist, avoid waterlogging, and can be exposed to full sunlight in spring and autumn. It will go dormant in summer, requiring ventilation and shading, watered 3 to 4 times a month, with a small amount of water given at the edge of the pot to maintain the plant roots from drying out due to excessive dryness. Too much water in the summer can easily cause rot and death. In winter, when the temperature is below 3 degrees, water should be gradually reduced, and below 0 degrees, the pot soil should be kept dry, trying to maintain a temperature not lower than minus 3 degrees to safely survive the winter.
When watering, plant friends should try to water the soil, as moisture on the leaves can affect the appearance, and definitely not water the flower core, as it can rot the core.
The propagation methods for Rijia include seeding, dividing, and cutting off the top. The cutting method propagates cuttings, and the remaining part will sprout. Special attention should be paid to the cutting seedlings, as they will rot if they touch the leaf heart. Rijia grows relatively slowly and is prone to clustering.
The above [] introduces the full content of the caring methods for the succulent Rijia, hoping it can help you. At the same time, I hope everyone will come to see more green plant and flower experience and common sense!
