Breeding methods and precautions of silver longevity

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It is best to keep the temperature between 15 and 28 degrees. Too high or too low will cause harm to it and sometimes even threaten its health. Therefore, try to keep the temperature below 30 degrees in summer and above 10 degrees in winter.

2. Light: It has high requirements for sunlight. A too dark environment will cause it to grow too tall and the leaves will appear wilted. However, strong sunlight should also be avoided. Generally speaking, you can provide diffuse light in spring and autumn, and place it in a cool place in summer. In winter, full sunlight is generally available.

3. Watering: It is very afraid of waterlogging, and it cannot be very dry for a long time. The substrate can be kept moist in spring and autumn, and sprayed with water while watering in summer. In winter, try to keep it a little drier, but don't not water it at all if the temperature is suitable.

4. Fertilization: First of all, base fertilizer is very important. The next thing is top dressing, which can only be used in spring and autumn, usually once or twice a month.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by leaf cuttings, which is a method of using its strong leaves as materials for reproduction. This method can be used in spring and autumn. In addition to choosing the right leaves, you also need a good substrate. When inserting, also pay attention to the depth. The next step is to keep the temperature and humidity suitable and block out the strong light.

2. Repotting: For such succulents, it is best to change the soil once a year. Generally speaking, flower pots do not need to be replaced unless the plants grow very vigorously and there is insufficient space, then they need to be replaced. When repotting, try not to damage the taproot, but rotten roots can be cut off.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Excessive watering can cause "root rot", which is more likely to occur when the humidity is very high. Generally speaking, the use of carbendazim and oxadiazine is more effective. In addition, it is best to take measures such as pruning rotten roots.

2. Pests: Incorrect breeding methods can also lead to pests and diseases. For example, "scale insects" and "red spiders" are two very common types. They can be controlled with pesticides such as omethoate.
