How to care for姬珊瑚
Today's mini experience sharing: an introduction to the succulent plant姬珊瑚, how to care for姬珊瑚, let's learn about it together next.
姬珊瑚 is very common, but many gardening friends are not clear on how to care for姬珊瑚. As long as you master the key points of daily maintenance,姬珊瑚 is still easy to care for. Let's talk about how to care for姬珊瑚 from several common aspects.
1. Environment
姬珊瑚 belongs to the cactus family, cactus genus, and loves sunlight but is afraid of strong sun exposure (here, gardening friends should note not to misunderstand, only when the sun is very strong, you need to pay attention to shading, this is because of the potting + high floor reasons, generally, ordinary sunlight is fine), so when choosing a maintenance environment, you need to pay attention to the issue of lighting. Generally, it can be placed near windows, balconies, and other bright散射光 areas. If kept in a room with insufficient light for a long time, it will experience etiolation, with new stems being light green and very thin, giving the whole plant a different charm. However, if moved outdoors later, the newly formed stems will become thick again, which will severely affect the shape of the whole plant.
2. Watering
Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for姬珊瑚. When watering, wait for the potting soil to dry completely before watering, and when you water, make sure to water thoroughly. In winter and summer, which are dormant periods, water should be controlled. In general, follow the principle of 'better dry than wet.' The potting soil should be dry rather than wet, as excessive moisture for a long time can lead to rotting of the lower part of the plant, which will quickly spread to the entire plant.
3. Potting Soil
For姬珊瑚, the potting soil should be a sandy soil with good drainage and breathability.
4. Fertilizing
Chemical fertilizers should be avoided for姬珊瑚 as they can easily cause root rot. It's better to apply less or not at all. You can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer twice every half a month in spring and at the end of summer and early autumn.
5. Propagation
Propagation of姬珊瑚 is generally done by cutting, similar to the cutting method of cacti. Wait for the wound to dry before proceeding.
