Breeding methods of succulent plants in Tang and Yin
Succulent plant lovers have a special liking for Tangyin's unique succulent lotus seat shape, but how to make this Crassulaceae plant look in its best condition confuses novices. This article will systematically analyze the five core elements of Tangyin's meat farming, from light management to pot changing skills, and help you easily cultivate high-quality plants with rosy leaves and full plant types. 1. Sunshine management skills Maintenance in spring, autumn and winter requires more than 6 hours of direct light every day, especially in the spring and autumn seasons of 10-25 ° C. Adequate sunshine can promote the iconic red edges of the leaves. In winter, it can be placed on a south-facing window sill to maintain growth through the soft light of double glazing. Summer sunshade key points When the temperature exceeds 30 ° C, a sunshade net needs to be used to filter 50% of the strong light. It is recommended to adopt the "morning sun and noon shade" strategy, with light before 10 a.m. and shade protection from noon to 4 p.m. 2. Scientific ratio of basin soil The substrate selection principle adopts a ratio of 6:3:1 (red jade soil: coarse river sand: legular leaf soil) to ensure drainage. 5% rice hull carbon can be added to adjust the pH, and the substrate can be replaced every 2 years to prevent hardening. The flowerpot selection guide recommends using a rough pottery pot with a diameter of 3 cm larger than the plant, and having more than 2 drainage holes at the bottom. New pots need to be soaked for 24 hours to remove alkaline substances before use. 3. Intelligent water and fertilizer control The watering cycle is controlled by using the "chopstick detection method": insert the bamboo chopsticks into 2/3 of the pot soil, and pour water thoroughly when it is pulled out and there is no trace of moisture. 7-10 days per time in spring and autumn, 15 days per time in summer, and water is cut off for maintenance in winter. Advanced fertilization plan Apply meaty special fertilizer diluted 2000 times every month during the growth period, and use slow-release fertilizer granules every quarter. The "sandwich fertilization method" is now recommended: bottom floor mat slow-release fertilizer-middle substrate-surface liquid fertilizer. 4. Operation specifications for basin replacement The best time for basin replacement is from March to April in spring, and the temperature is stable above 15℃. When the diameter of the plant reaches within 2 cm of the edge of the pot, or when the root system protrudes from the drainage hole, the pot needs to be replaced immediately. Changing the basin steps 1. Water cut off 3 days to dry the soil 2. Annular loosening of basin wall 3. Trim 1/3 of the old roots 4. New basin mat 3cm ceramsite layer 5. Water the tidal soil 5 days after being potted. Through systematic maintenance and management, Tangyin's meat can not only maintain a compact plant type, but also show stunning gradient leaf color. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log based on the plant status, record data such as light duration and watering date, and gradually master the personalized maintenance rhythm. Regularly use a soft brush to clean the dust on the leaves and coordinate the direction of rotating the flower pot to ensure that the plant receives even light and cultivate a perfect plant type with 360 degrees without dead corners.
