How to raise Fei Hua Yu in winter
As a star variety among succulent plants in the cactus family, Feihuayu is deeply loved by flower friends for its unique flower shape and strong vitality. When cold currents strike, this plant native to the deserts of South America requires special care to survive the winter safely. This article will provide you with a detailed explanation of the complete winter maintenance plan for red flower jade from temperature control to storage skills. Four core maintenance elements precise temperature control The primary task of winter maintenance is to maintain an ideal ambient temperature of 2-5 ° C. It is recommended to use a smart temperature and humidity meter for real-time monitoring and immediately activate protective measures when the room temperature is below 0℃. Heating rooms in the north need to pay attention to avoiding direct heat sources. In the south, foam boxes + insulation films can be used to build temporary greenhouses to ensure that the temperature difference between day and night does not exceed 8℃. Scientific cold protection measures When using transparent insulation bags made of PE material for night protection, 3-5 ventilation holes need to be reserved on the top of the bag. It is recommended to select ventilation from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the time for each bag opening should be controlled within 2 hours. For group cultivation of red flower jade, a miniature arch shed can be built and built-in temperature-controlled heating line can be built to form a continuous and stable microclimate environment. Intelligent water management winter irrigation should follow the "three observation principles": observe the dryness and dryness of the basin soil, observe the plumularity of the plants, and observe the temperature and humidity of the environment. Using the bamboo stick detection method, when there is no moisture at 2/3 of the soil inserted into the basin, select sunny days and noon to slowly inject warm water at 15-20 ° C along the basin edge, and the water volume is controlled at 1/3 of daily use. Special storage plan For maintenance environments where a constant temperature cannot be maintained, dormant storage method is recommended: remove the pot after the soil is completely dried, wrap the roots with sterilized pine needles and moss, and place them in cartons for stacked storage. Inspect once a month during storage to remove rotten individuals and keep the environment dark and well-ventilated. Spring Recovery Guidelines When the temperature stabilizes above 10℃, gradually rejuvenate treatment: scattered light irradiation will be given in the first 3 days, spray humidification will be started on the 4th day, and pots will be replaced 7 days later. Select a special substrate with 60% particles and add appropriate amount of bone meal to promote root development.
Through scientific temperature control, precise water management and protective measures adapted to local conditions, the red flower jade can not only survive the winter safely, but also accumulate energy for the gorgeous flowering period next spring. Remember to regularly observe the condition of the plants and adjust the maintenance strategy in time to ensure that this desert spirit will remain vibrant in the cold winter.
