Breeding method of rolled silk
Known as the "never wither rose", rolled silk has become a must-see variety for meaty lovers due to its unique spiral leafy and strong reproductive ability. Although this Longevity grass plant of the Crassulaceae family is easy to raise, key skills still need to be mastered to grow a perfect plant type with clear layers. The three core gold soil matching rules for basic maintenance recommend using a ratio of peat soil: perlite: coal slag =3:2:5. The coal slag needs to be sieved to remove powder, and the particle diameter is controlled at 3-5 mm. When replacing basin soil every 2 years, 5% bone meal can be added to enhance fertility. Smart watering rhythm In spring and autumn, water is replenished by dipping basin method. The water level does not exceed 1/3 of the basin height. Remove it immediately after soaking for 15 minutes. In summer, choose to pour 50ml of clear water along the edge of the basin from 6 to 7 a.m., and completely cut off the water when the temperature is lower than 8℃ in winter. Light and shadow control art guarantees direct light for 6 hours a day in spring and autumn, and protects it with a sunshade net with a shading rate of 50% from 10:00 to 15:00 in summer. Rotating the flower pot 180 degrees regularly can prevent excessive growth. Advanced pot explosion tips The temperature difference shaping method maintains the temperature difference of 8-10℃ between day and night, and an environment of 25 ℃ during the day and 15℃ at night is the most suitable for coloring. In northern winter, fill light can be used to extend the light to 14 hours. Precise pruning timing: Remove the bottom three rounds of leaves during the germination period in April to promote the germination of lateral buds, and cut off more than 5 cm of walking stems in September. Apply carbendazim powder after pruning to prevent infection. Population ramet management When the cluster diameter exceeds 15cm, the central mother plant is retained and the peripheral daughter plants are separated. Drying the roots for 24 hours after dividing and then putting them into pots can increase the survival rate by 30%.
After mastering these maintenance details, rolled silk can naturally reproduce 5-8 subplants every year. When the cluster plants cover the entire basin, the spiral leaflothes will form an amazing geometric pattern, especially during the spring and autumn period when the leaf tips turn red, which can show the unique vitality of succulent plants.
