How to raise Jinhuangxing in winter
Winter is approaching, and as a popular Jinhuangxing among the fleshy family, how to maintain good condition during the low-temperature season has become the focus of attention of flower friends. This cute plant covered in red fluff has unique requirements for winter maintenance. This article will systematically analyze key elements such as temperature control, light management, and moisture control to help you create your own meaty winter plan. 1. Environmental temperature control strategy 1.1 Temperature threshold control is a typical winter type of the genus Amorpha, which is rich in meat, and its critical point for cold tolerance is 6℃ at night/10℃ during the day. When the thermometer reading is close to 10℃, it is recommended to move the plants into the indoor window sill and use double glass to form an insulation layer. In the northern heating area, care should be taken to stay more than 2 meters away from the radiator to avoid dehydration caused by heat radiation. 1.2 The temperature difference between day and night can stimulate the red edge characteristics of Jinhuangxing's villous by maintaining the temperature difference between day and night of 5-8℃. Windows can be opened briefly for ventilation at noon on sunny days, and thermal insulation film can be used to cover the base of the plants at night to prevent frostbite and promote coloring. 2. Light management plan 2.1 Full sunshine optimization winter sunshine intensity is only 40% in summer. It is recommended to ensure ≥6 hours of direct light every day. Use a 360° rotating tray and rotate it 90° clockwise every 3 days to ensure uniform light reception in all directions. Full spectrum plant lights for 12 hours per day can be replenished during continuous rainy days. 3. Scientific water supply system 3.1 The golden rule of water control adopts the "three-look" watering method: look at the temperature (>10℃), look at the basin soil (fully dry for 7 days), and look at the leaves (slightly wrinkled). The watering time is selected at noon, and 25 ° C warm water is slowly injected along the edge of the pot, and the amount is controlled to 1/3 of that in summer. 3.2 Humidity balance tips You can spray once a week in a dry environment in the north. Use a fine mist spray can to spray 30cm away from the plant to prevent water droplets from staying in the heart of the leaves. In the humid and cold areas in the south, a 3-cm-thick volcanic stone needs to be placed on the bottom of the basin to enhance drainage and moisture resistance. 4. Nutrient supply plan 4.1 Precision fertilization strategy Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer during the dormant period from December to February, and supplement potassium dihydrogen phosphate (diluted 1500 times) once a month. Use the dipping basin method to fertilize, pour the fertilizer solution into the tray, and allow the roots to absorb it independently through capillary action. 5. Pest and insect pest prevention system 5.1 Overwintering protection combination is mixed with carbendazim (1:1000)+ avermectin (1:1500) to make protective solution, which is irrigated once a month. Apply plant ash to the old pile foundation to effectively prevent the attachment of overwintering eggs of scale insects.
Through systematic maintenance plans, Jinhuangxing can not only survive the winter safely, but also accumulate nutrients to bloom in spring. Mastering the art of balancing temperature, light, water and fertilizer, this fleshy spirit will surely welcome the next growing season with a full attitude.
