Ways to maintain succulent plants in spring
As temperatures rise, succulent plants enter their golden period of growth. Spring maintenance directly affects the growth and styling performance of the whole year. Mastering these three key links can make your fleshy meat full of vitality. The four-step scientific basin replacement of the root system rejuvenation project After experiencing winter dormancy, the basin soil hardening rate is as high as 72%. Stop water for 3 days before changing pots, tilt the pot and pat the wall to remove the plants. Gently loosen the entangled root system with a bamboo stick, and keep the main root length at 5-8cm. Root disinfection treatment Dilute carbendazim 1000 times and soak the root system for 10 minutes, focusing on treating brown diseased tissue. When drying the roots, place them in a ventilated and scattered light place, and wait until the conjunctiva is cut before placing them on the basin. The matrix collocation principle adopts the ratio of 70% granular soil +30% nutrient soil, and the bottom layer is laid with ceramite to form a drainage layer. 3- 5mm medical stone is selected for paving stone, which can not only fix plants but also have a mineral slow release effect. Optimize the shape and manage the root pruning standard to cut off capillary roots that exceed 1/3 of the main root length and retain 3-5 main growing roots. The incision has a 45-degree slope, which can promote the rapid formation of callus. Crown width adjustment techniques preserve the base 2-3 leaves of the long stem section to top, and apply plant ash to the incision to prevent fungi. The cut healthy leaves can be laid flat on the surface of the seedling soil for leaf insertion and propagation. Growth environment regulation In spring, the light duration needs to be gradually increased, from 3 hours per day to 6 hours of direct light. Use the "see dry, see wet" watering method, and slowly inject water along the edge of the basin after the soil is completely dry. Maintaining a temperature difference above 10 ° C at night can promote sugar accumulation.
Through systematic maintenance and management, succulent plants can quickly form compact plant types in spring. Combined with measures such as regular pot rotation and supplementation of slow-release fertilizers, a healthy and full ornamental form can be cultivated.
