Succulents have become increasingly popular in the flower market in recent years due to their unique shapes and ease of care. As one of the representatives of succulents, Jilongyue attracts the attention of many "meat friends" with its pink color and compact plant form. How to care for Jilongyue? This article will provide a detailed analysis of the care methods for succulent Jilongyue.
Choosing the right soilJilongyue does not have high requirements for soil, but choosing soil with good breathability is crucial for the growth of the plant. It is recommended to use a mixture of peat soil, vermiculite, and perlite to increase soil breathability and drainage.
Light conditionsJilongyue enjoys plenty of sunlight. Insufficient light can cause the plant to stretch, affecting its ornamental value. Place Jilongyue in a sunny area, such as a balcony or windowsill, and ensure 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day.
Watering methodJilongyue has low water requirements. Overwatering can easily lead to root rot. When watering, follow the principle of "better dry than wet," and water only when the soil is completely dry. During the hot summer, reduce the frequency of watering to avoid plant dehydration.
Temperature controlThe suitable temperature range for Jilongyue growth is between 15-25°C. When the temperature drops below 5°C in winter, move it indoors to avoid frostbite. During the hot summer, maintain ventilation to prevent overheating.
Fertilizing managementJilongyue has low fertilizer requirements. Applying a dilute liquid fertilizer once a month is sufficient. During the vigorous growth period, the frequency of fertilization can be increased to promote plant growth.
Propagation methodJilongyue can be propagated through cutting, division, and seeding. Cutting and division are the most common methods. During the vigorous growth period, take healthy branches or divisions, let the wounds dry, and then proceed with cutting or division. Maintain some humidity, and once new buds emerge, they can be transplanted.
Pest and disease controlJilongyue is relatively resistant to pests and diseases but should still be prevented. During maintenance, ensure good ventilation and cleanliness of the plant to avoid the occurrence of pests and diseases. If pests or diseases are found, take immediate measures such as cutting off diseased branches or spraying insecticides.
