Xiuyan's breeding methods and precautions

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It requires a relatively high temperature for the maintenance environment. The temperature should be controlled at around 20 degrees, which is more conducive to its growth. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 10 degrees, and the maximum temperature cannot exceed 30 degrees. If the temperature exceeds the limit, it is easy to cause irreversible damage to the plant. In severe cases, it will wither and die.

2. Watering: During the growing period, you need to increase the amount of watering, and at normal times you need to properly control the amount of watering, which can effectively prevent the branches from growing too long. When watering, make sure to water thoroughly each time to avoid water accumulation in the soil. Generally speaking, watering two to three times a week is a more reasonable way to water.

3. Fertilization: In addition to applying base fertilizer to the soil before planting, it is also necessary to fertilize it every month during the breeding process. Use special fertilizer for succulents, because the nutrient ratio of this fertilizer is according to the needs of succulents and is more suitable for the growth of succulents. In addition, you can also try to make fermented fertilizer yourself. Fertilizer is sufficient in nutrients and has few side effects. It is a better fertilizer for delicate succulent plants.

4. Light: Appropriate shade is needed in the summer because the midday sun is relatively strong. If the plants are exposed to direct sunlight, they will easily be sunburned. In summer, the daily light exposure should be controlled at about five hours, and the lighting method should be diffuse light. In other seasons, it should be controlled at about eight hours.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: The way to reproduce it is by beheading. Just cut off the top of the plant and insert it into a new culture medium. The roots of the old plant will continue to grow, which will not only allow for reproduction but also promote the growth of side buds of the plant.

2. Pruning: Under normal circumstances, the plants do not need to be pruned. Only when the plants grow too lush, they can be pruned appropriately.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Leaf falling: Leaf falling is mostly caused by insufficient light. The amount of light needs to be increased.

2. Yellowing leaves: The problem of yellowing leaves of the plant may be caused by excessive watering. Water accumulation in the potting soil will affect the root breathing of the plant, thus causing the leaves to turn yellow. To solve this problem, you either need to change the soil with soil with good drainage, or move it to a ventilated place to speed up the evaporation of soil moisture.
