How to grow succulent plants Ruby

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: This plant prefers acidic soil with good drainage and containing humus from rotten branches and leaves.

2. Light: It needs full sunlight. The leaves of ruby ​​are concave and have obvious undulations. Under strong light or large temperature differences, the leaves will turn red. If there is not enough light, the leaves will turn green and become longer, so ruby ​​needs to receive sufficient sunlight to have bright leaves.

3. Watering: It likes a moist growing environment, but avoid waterlogging. When the temperature drops below -4℃, the plant will stop growing, and when it reaches 5℃, water will need to be slowly cut off.

4. Fertilization: Under normal circumstances, if the soil is fertile enough, there is no need to fertilize much. If you have been raising it for a long time, you can consider applying a small amount of thin fertilizer. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer. Fertilizer can be mixed with rotten leaves into the soil. Remember to use thin fertilizer.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Cuttings: Generally, the cut plants can be directly cut into the soil, and after the roots grow, just give a small amount of water.

2. Leaf cuttings: Take healthy leaves, place them in a cool place until the wound heals slightly, then place them on slightly moist loam, wait for new buds to grow, and then take out the cuttings.

3. Notes

Ruby requires plenty of sunlight and a dry, cool environment. It tolerates partial shade and is afraid of waterlogging and avoids stuffiness and humidity. It has the habit of growing at low temperatures and dormant at high temperatures. Its growing period is from September to June of the following year. If there is insufficient light, the plant will only grow leaves, and the color of the leaves will turn green. However, the ruby ​​grown in a place with sufficient sunlight will have a strong plant shape and the leaves will be closely together.
