How to care for Ping Pong Fuyang
Do you know about these? Let's learn about the related experience of the succulent plant Ping Pong Fuyang, how to care for Ping Pong Fuyang together.
Ping Pong Fuyang is a succulent plant belonging to the Echeveria genus of the Crassulaceae family, a horticultural variety of Fuyang. Some friends have asked how to care for Ping Pong Fuyang. The cultivation of Ping Pong Fuyang is similar to other Crassulaceae cultivation guides, but it also has its unique aspects.
Ping Pong Fuyang requires a sunny and cool, dry environment, can tolerate semi-shade, is afraid of waterlogging, and dislikes hot and humid conditions (not afraid of cold, but afraid of heat). It has the habit of growing in cool seasons and dormant in high summer temperatures, with the growing period from September of each year to June of the following year (the growing period varies depending on the environment of different friends). Insufficient light can cause the plant to stretch easily (Fuyang is inherently a tall variety), the distance between the leaves will be longer, making the plant look loose, and the stems become very weak. Plants grown in sufficient sunlight have a shorter, stocky shape, and the leaves are relatively compactly arranged.
Friends' care examples:
Feizhou's Ping Pong Fuyang is kept in a sunroom with full sun exposure. During the growing period, keep the soil slightly moist and avoid waterlogging. Feizhou uses a mixture of coal slag, peat, and a small amount of perlite for the soil, with a ratio of about 6:3:1. Ping Pong Fuyang can tolerate temperatures as low as -2°C in dry potting soil, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoors. If it gets lower, the growing tips of the leaves may get frostbite, dry up, or even die, but as long as the main stem survives, new lateral branches will sprout from the withered parts the following year.
Watering is basically stopped during the entire winter, and watering should be gradually reduced below 5 degrees Celsius. When the temperature exceeds 35°C in summer, the plant's growth basically stops. At this time, reduce watering to prevent root rot due to overly moist potting soil and enhance ventilation. Appropriate shading should be applied to avoid direct sunlight exposure. This is how the plant is cared for throughout the summer. It is worth noting that during the summer, Feizhou does not completely stop watering but gives a small amount of water, about twice a month, usually between 7-9 pm when the sun has set, which does not affect the plant's roots.
During cultivation, avoid rain to prevent the white powder on the leaves from falling off. Ping Pong Fuyang should be repotted every 2-4 years, before the first watering in early spring. Ping Pong Fuyang has a relatively large shape with branching and can be propagated by cutting the top for planting and dividing the plant, or by leaf propagation. The leaves can be placed flat on the soil surface in a shaded and well-ventilated area without further attention, and new leaves will grow slowly. Watering can be given once roots have developed.
Propagation by cuttings is even simpler; just insert healthy old branches into slightly moist sandy soil. In a shaded and well-ventilated environment, roots will generally grow within 15 to 20 days. Cuttings should be taken in spring and autumn, while leaf propagation can be done at any time except winter. To make the plant look nicer, friends can trim the tall branches, which makes the plant easier to multiply.
