Golden branches and jade leaves should be familiar to everyone, they are quite suitable for being kept as a盆景. Many gardening enthusiasts will buy one, and they are also relatively inexpensive. When we care for golden branches and jade leaves, changing the pot is essential. The operation must be done properly, or it can easily lead to root rot after the transplant. Today, I will talk about how to repot golden branches and jade leaves.
We all know that golden branches and jade leaves belong to the Portulaca family, Portulaca genus, and can also be classified as a succulent plant. Its main stem has a high water storage capacity. When we repot, we must remember to remove the soil and trim the roots, taking all the potting soil away and cutting off the fine roots, and shortening the long main roots appropriately. The main roots and fine roots are very distinct, with thick roots being very coarse. After pruning, it's best to apply a fungicide to the cut wounds. After finishing the pruning, don't rush to plant it. Instead, place it in a shaded and well-ventilated area to dry for three to five days, allowing the wounds to heal before planting.
When planting, the soil must be well-draining. I usually use a 1:1 ratio of coal slag and peat soil. We should ensure the soil's breathability and water permeability as much as possible, and it's best to add half of the soil with granules, which can be coal slag, volcanic rock, or even珍珠岩. After the soil is well-draining and water-permeable, we plant it with moist soil, keeping the moisture content between 30% to 50%. Plant the golden branches and jade leaves directly, and don't rush to water it after planting. Instead, place it in a well-ventilated area with diffused light for two to three days before watering. When watering, don't forget to add some root growth stimulant, which can help it grow roots quickly.
After watering thoroughly this time, whenever the potting soil is half-dry, water it thoroughly. You can insert a bamboo skewer into the pot to check when it's dry and water it directly. This way, you can control the moisture level. When the leaves are plump and not wilting, indicating it has resumed normal growth, we follow the principle of watering when the soil is completely dry, and place it in the sunniest spot to promote rapid growth.
This is the method for repotting golden branches and jade leaves. Its care is very simple, requiring plenty of sunlight all year round. The soil should be thoroughly dry before watering. Fertilizer should ideally be multi-element or high in nitrogen content, with other elements not missing, applied once or twice a month. This way, when we keep golden branches and jade leaves at home, we don't need a large pot. Treating it as a盆景 and pruning it regularly can create a beautiful shape that can be placed on a table or in a room.
