How to raise Huang Lijin
As a variety in the fleshy family with both beauty and vitality, Huang Lijin has captured the hearts of countless plant lovers with its gold-inlaid jade-like brocade leaves. However, in order for this pot of "living gems" to bloom for a long time, it is crucial to master a scientific maintenance system. This article will systematically analyze the entire process of skills from basic maintenance to advanced reproduction. Huang Lijin's Basic Maintenance Guidelines Gold Soil Mixing Plan Huang Lijin's requirements for the permeability of the substrate are higher than ordinary fleshy. It is recommended to adopt a soil mixing plan with particles accounting for 70%: 40% red jade soil (3-6mm)+20% volcanic rock +30% peat soil +10% rice hull carbon. This structure can not only drain water quickly, but also regulate water through the microporous structure of red jade soil. It is especially suitable for Jinhua varieties with weak root systems. Light and shadow control art requires 4 hours of direct light every day in spring and autumn, and a double sunshade net (70% shading rate) is used for protection in summer. In winter, it can be combined with a full-spectrum plant fill light to maintain a 12-hour daily light cycle. When the new leaves in the heart of the leaf are found to be bright yellow, the light intensity needs to be adjusted immediately to prevent sunburn. Intelligent water and fertilizer management adopts the "three-look watering method": look at the leaves (the middle leaves are slightly wrinkled), look at the weather (continuous sunny days), and look at the medium (the basin soil is completely dry). During the growth period, Minolta special fertilizer diluted 2000 times is added once a month, and 5-8 grains of Aolu A2 slow-release fertilizer are applied every quarter. Huang Lijin's Advanced Breeding Skills Golden Rule for Leaf Insertion Select healthy and plump leaves in the middle and lower parts, and rotate them around a 45-degree angle. After drying for 3 days, place it in a mixed medium of vermiculite + perlite (1:1), maintain the ambient temperature of 18-25℃ and the humidity of 70%. Red root systems can be seen to germinate for about 15 days. Key points for beheading: Use a disinfected curved scalpel and obliquely cut 1/3 of the stem. Apply carbendazim to the incision and place it in a ventilated place. After callus is formed, plant it. The beheaded mother plant needs to control water for 2 weeks, which can stimulate the base to germinate at 3-5 new buds.
Through a scientific maintenance system, Huang Lijin can not only maintain bright brocade spots, but also cultivate unique shapes. It is recommended to take growth record photos every quarter to compare and adjust maintenance plans. Remember that fleshy maintenance is an elegant dance between the field and time, and patience will eventually gain amazing transformation.
