Is raw stone flowers easy to raise
Among many succulent plants, raw stone flowers have attracted much attention due to their unique appearance. This pebble-shaped sprout is not difficult to raise as imagined. After mastering its growth habits, novices can easily cultivate plump and translucent plants. This article will comprehensively analyze the key points of cultivating raw stone flowers from environmental control to daily operations. The core elements of stoneflower cultivation are balanced between temperature and humidity and the temperature difference between day and night is controlled at 8-12℃, and it can be maintained in the open air in spring and autumn. In winter, it is necessary to maintain above 12℃, and it is recommended to use a constant temperature mat in the north. The air humidity is maintained at 40%-60%, and diatomite hygroscopic particles can be placed in the southern rainy season. The soil ratio plan recommends using a mixed substrate of red jade soil + deer swamp soil + vermiculite (4:3:3), and adding 5% rice hull carbon to enhance ventilation. Bone meal is added to supplement phosphorus when changing pots every year, and pottery pots with a depth of more than 8cm are more conducive to root development. Light cycle adjustment Use 50% sunshade net protection in summer, and direct exposure should not exceed 3 hours a day. 6 hours of scattered light are guaranteed in spring and autumn, and full sunshine is available in winter. When using a fill light, it is recommended to set a color temperature of 6500k with a 12-hour light cycle. Scientific watering system maintains soil micro-moisture during the spring and autumn growing period, and uses the dipping basin method to replenish water for 30 seconds each time. Strictly control water during the molting period and recover after the old leaves are completely dry. During the summer dormant period, 10ml of water was supplied along the basin wall every month, and the watering was stopped during the low temperature period in winter. Nutrient supply strategy Apply meaty special fertilizer (NPK2 -4-3) every 20 days during the growth period, with a water ratio of 1:2000. At the end of molting, calcium and magnesium fertilizer is applied to strengthen the cell wall, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate is added before flowering to promote flower bud differentiation.
Through systematic management, raw stone flowers can not only grow healthily, but also show amazing window texture. Mastering their preference for drying and fear of waterlogging, and adjusting maintenance plans according to seasonal changes, even novice gardeners can make these "living stones" bloom their unique charm.
