Caring Methods for the Succulent Plant Echeveria Purpusorum cv.
Today, the editor introduces the related content of making a bonsai with Echeveria Purpusorum cv., including its caring methods. Here are the details:
Echeveria Purpusorum cv. belongs to the Crassulaceae family, Echeveria genus, and is a hybrid variety of large Echeveria. The plant is smaller than the large Echeveria, with more leaves that are also relatively smaller. It is a perennial succulent herbaceous plant, a small variety. The succulent leaves are arranged in a tight rosette. The leaves are broadly ovate to scattered deltoid-ovate, with a prominent keel-like back, 1.5 to 2.5 cm long and about 1.5 cm wide, with an acute apex.
The leaf color is usually tender green, with light brown patterns on the leaf surface. The leaf edges will only turn brownish-red during large temperature differences between day and night or in low temperatures during winter, and the leaf color is relatively light green. Under weak light, the leaf color becomes light and tender green, and the leaves will also stretch. The leaf surface is smooth and does not easily accumulate water.
Echeveria Purpusorum cv. needs plenty of sunlight for the leaf color and edges to be vibrant, and the plant will be more compact and beautiful. It is a small variety, and after years of clustering, the plant becomes very spectacular, with branched inflorescences, flowers that are slightly yellow with a red tip, and five-lobed.
Echeveria Purpusorum cv. requires plenty of sunlight, a cool and dry environment, can tolerate partial shade, is afraid of waterlogging, and dislikes humid heat. 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 (different environments of flower friends may have different lengths of growing periods). Insufficient sunlight will cause the plant leaves to elongate, and the brownish-red leaf edges will gradually fade; plants growing in sufficient sunlight will have a shorter and stronger plant shape with紧凑 leaf arrangement.
The editor's Echeveria Purpusorum cv. is kept in a sunroom with full sunlight. During the growing period, the soil should be kept moist but avoid waterlogging. The soil used is a mixture of coal slag and peat, with a small amount of perlite, in a ratio of about 5:4:1. Echeveria Purpusorum cv. can tolerate temperatures as low as -4°C, which is the indoor temperature, not outdoors. If it gets any lower, the growing points at the top of the leaves will freeze, dry out, and die. During the entire winter, watering is basically stopped, and below 5 degrees, watering should be gradually reduced. In high summer temperatures, the plant grows slowly or completely stops, at which time good ventilation and proper shading are required to avoid direct sunlight, and watering should be moderate to prevent long-term rain soaking, which could cause the plant to rot.
The propagation of Echeveria Purpusorum cv. usually involves cutting off the top to make small cuttings and leaf insertion. The cut plants can be directly inserted into dry granular soil, and after roots develop, a small amount of water can be given. It is a very easy-to-care-for variety. Leaf insertion involves taking a full and plump leaf, placing it in a shaded area to dry the wound (the editor usually just places the leaf on the soil surface, without the wound touching the soil), then placing it on slightly moist soil, where it will slowly grow roots and sprout. The process is a bit long, but it can result in many small side shoots, which can be taken and inserted once they grow.
