Talking about the蜕皮 of living stone flowers
The editor introduces you to some experiences of living stone flowers, a brief talk on the蜕皮 of living stone flowers, next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
Living stone flowers are very popular, but also very troublesome, because this guy is too worrying. Living stone flowers have two problems, one is heat-resistant and cool-loving; the other is蜕皮ing every year. These two problems combined make you restless.
In spring, the weather is good, which is the growing period of living stone flowers, easy to take care of, always thought that you can water them, watch them grow fat and cute, but no, you need to stop watering. Because at this time, they are trying to蜕皮, this physiological cycle is very important for living stone flowers, if too much water, the old skin will not be able to蜕皮 for a long time, which will affect later management.
In summer, high temperatures, especially in the south of the Yangtze River region, the plum rain season of spring and summer is the ghost gate of living stone flowers, worried all day long, afraid that one morning you will find another living stone flower rotting.
In autumn, the weather is clear and refreshing, which is the best observation period for living stone flowers. The spheres are full and the "apricot" flowers are in full bloom. However, there are still many troubles, after hard work to enter a new round of growth golden period, always want to let living stone flowers drink their fill, but just after dormancy, living stone flowers are still in a state of "unable to accept tonic", and if not careful, they will step into the ghost gate again after struggling through the summer.
Although it is cold in winter, living stone flowers are not afraid of cold (of course, there are limits), and they are easy to manage, but the problem is that after living stone flowers bloom, they start to plan for the major event of蜕皮. If the water is not controlled at this time, it will be useless to control the water in the spring.
The physiological phenomenon of蜕皮 of living stone flowers is an important function to adapt to harsh environments. It can be said that the life of living stone flowers revolves around the two major tasks of蜕皮 and flowering.蜕皮 is to protect the main body to safely pass through the most severe high-temperature and dry period, and then seize the short growing season to bloom and pollinate, reproduce the next generation, and then the old main body begins to prepare for the new main body, including the old main body's fearless spirit to transfer its nutrients to the new main body, while withering itself, and continuing to protect the new main body from reducing water evaporation during the high-temperature and dry period. This continues in a cycle.
Because蜕皮 is one of the important links for living stone flowers to ensure their own reproduction (although there is another sexual reproduction, but from juvenile to adulthood, it still cannot avoid the key link of蜕皮), it is very important to let living stone flowers have enough dry time. Of course, when stopping watering in winter, flower friends will feel sorry for the shrinkage of living stone flowers, and this problem should be looked at and solved according to local conditions.
Due to the vast territory of China and great climatic differences between the north and south, for example, in the north, although it is very cold, there is heating indoors, which is very suitable for temperature, and living stone flowers require a lot of water, while the air in the north is very dry, so they may shrink more severely. Here I can only make a conjecture (because I don't have the practice of planting in the north), which is not to pay attention to it, let it shrink, speed up the completion time of蜕皮, because living stone flowers will protect the continuation of new life by transferring the moisture from the old skin. On the other hand, in the south of the Yangtze River region, due to the high humidity of the air, it is completely fine to stop watering in winter, especially the moisture brought by the temperature difference between morning and evening is enough for living stone flowers to maintain normal life activities. Even if the entire winter is completely watered, the spheres can remain very full.
Generally speaking, living stone flowers should complete蜕皮 by the end of April, so that they can be given normal water and fertilizer management in May, otherwise living stone flowers really won't have a chance to "supplement" because they will soon face the harsh days, and being stronger can also enhance their resistance during dormancy.
During the蜕皮 period of mature plants, no water should be given, as giving water will prolong the蜕皮 period. During the蜕皮 period, water should not be splashed on the plants, because watering the old skin during the蜕皮 period is easily infected with bacteria and then rots. Full sunlight should be given during the蜕皮 period, they are not easy to sunburn (this is for mature plants), and direct sunlight should be reduced for seedlings. Until the outside old skin of the living stone flower becomes a thin membrane, it is considered to be done with蜕皮. That is to say, when the old skin is dry, white, and easily falls off, the living stone flower is truly done with蜕皮.
The above [] introduces a comprehensive explanation of the蜕皮 of living stone flowers, hoping it can help you.
