Rose莲 'Jingye' and 'Jinshi Hiroaki' hybrid offspring
Introduction: This article covers the topic of Rose莲花, focusing on the hybrid offspring of Rose莲 'Jingye' and 'Jinshi Hiroaki', with specific details as follows:
Rose莲花 is a succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, Sedum sect. Sempervivum. The hybrid offspring of Rose莲 'Jingye' and 'Jinshi Hiroaki' is a small to medium-sized variety. Inheriting the advantages of its parents, the plant features fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette shape with a short stem. The leaves are spatulate, relatively thick, and whorled, with a flat surface and a velvet-like texture. The back of the leaves is slightly convex, resembling a keel, with an inconspicuous keel line. The leaf tips are pointed, and the edges and keel lines have fine and short hairs. The leaves are blue-green or blue, with red halos on the edges, tips, and keel lines. In autumn, as temperatures drop and the temperature difference increases, the color of the red halos deepens and becomes more vibrant.
When in good condition, the plant can also become spherical. Rose莲花 resembles 'Danielle', but 'Danielle' has greener leaves and deep reddish-brown halos, whereas Rose莲花 has a very beautiful rose-red color. The flowering period is spring, with cymose inflorescences, bell-shaped flowers, and five orange-yellow petals.
Rose莲花 enjoys sunlight, warm and dry environments, is drought-resistant, not very cold-tolerant, and slightly shade-tolerant. In summer, there is a brief dormant period during which the plant's growth slows down or stops. Special attention should be paid to enhancing ventilation, providing some shading, and controlling watering to prevent waterlogging. Spring, autumn, and early summer are the main growth periods when the plant can be kept in full sunlight and outdoors. Watering can be determined based on actual conditions, generally following the principle of "no watering when not dry, and thorough watering when completely dry". In winter, if the temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius, watering can be normal, but if it drops below 5 degrees, water should be strictly controlled, with reduced or stopped watering. Rose莲花 is adaptable to soil as long as it is well-drained. Propagation is done through stem cuttings and leaf cuttings, but the survival rate is relatively low. Leaves from the flowering stem can be used for cutting to improve the survival rate.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to the hybrid offspring of Rose莲 'Jingye' and 'Jinshi Hiroaki', hoping to provide green plant enthusiasts with some related knowledge about green plants.
