Stone lotus is a succulent plant cultivation technology

The genus Stellaris and the genus Shihlia (also known as genus Pleurotus) are one of the more popular types of succulents in the world. Their leaves are colorful and unique. The unique rosettes resemble flowers and are like artworks, but they also have life. It can be planted with potted plants or other succulent plants that are similar to other habits to create a combination of potted plants, garlands, flower baskets, and other shapes. It can even produce floral works for the decoration of the Sasang Botanical Garden, rock gardens, and decorative homes, wedding celebrations. Places such as fresh and fashionable, full of fun.

Variety characteristics

There are about 167 primitive species of Echeveria succulent plants. The plants have short and thick stems or branches. The fleshy leaves are arranged in a rosette arrangement. The leaves are green except for purple, pink, red, white and blue. In other colors, many types of leaf tips are beautiful red or pink and black. Some types of leaves have white powder or fluff, cocoon, 'Yude', 'Seven Fook Gods', 'Dahejin', 'Quiet Night', 'Chihuahua', 'Snow Lotus', 'Red Secretary' and 'Star Shadow'. 'Desert Moon', 'Queen's Flower', 'Winter Cloud' and other species. In addition, there are a large number of horticultural varieties, hybrids, and newly introduced varieties that have not been officially named in recent years.

Cultivation management

Stone lotus is a succulent plant like sunny, cool and dry environment, requires a certain temperature difference between day and night, drought-resistant, afraid of water. During the high temperature period in summer, the Succulent plants are all dormant or semi-dormant, and grow slowly or completely stagnant. The pots can be placed in aerial nursery beds or other well-ventilated places to increase air mobility and prevent sultry heat. Humidity caused by plant rot. In addition, we must pay attention to avoid exposure to the sun, especially direct light before and after noon, so as not to burn the leaves, but it should not be too veiled to prevent the plants from being long, with "bright, without strong direct sunlight", preferably Take a layer of shade net for proper shading. To control watering, water the evening or evening after sunset and stop fertilizing.

The spring and autumn season is the main growth period of the genus Lonicera. At this time, there is a large temperature difference between day and night. The light is sufficient and the ventilation is good, especially the morning and evening dew, which is conducive to the growth of the stone lotus. The doors and windows of the greenhouse can be opened, and the shade net can be removed to enhance the light, increase the temperature difference between day and night, and make the plant type more compact. The white flour on the leaves is more dense and the color is more vivid. Otherwise, the illumination will be insufficient and the daylight will change. The small temperature difference results in a loose plant type, and the red variety does not show red color. The hairy varieties have sparse, dark color, thin and thin leaves, etc., which will affect the ornamental quality.

In the growing season, we should master the principle of watering without pouring or pouring, and avoid water in pots and soils, otherwise it will rot, but the air humidity may be slightly larger. When the air is dry, you can often sprinkle water around the plants to increase the air humidity, but the leaves, especially the center of the forest, should not collect water, so as to avoid bad heart. Whenever it is necessary to avoid rain, especially long-term rain, or the plants absorb water too much, the leaf and rhizome epidermis tissue will be cracked by the mesophyll tissue, causing bacterial infection and rot. During the growing season, a decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or "low-nitrogen-high-phosphorus-potassium" compound fertilizer is applied every 20 days or so. When fertilizing, do not spray fertilizer on the leaves. Fertilization usually takes place on a sunny morning or in the evening, and is poured once a day or the next morning to dilute the residual fertilizer in the soil.

Winter should be given enough sunlight, if the minimum temperature at night is about 10 °C, and there is a certain temperature difference between day and night, can be appropriate watering, fertilization as appropriate, so that plants continue to grow. If you cannot maintain such a high temperature, you should control the watering, maintain the basin soil dry, stop the fertilization, so that the plants dormancy, so that plants can withstand 0 °C low temperature, or even lower temperatures.

Turning basins once every two years is carried out in the spring or fall. Basin soils require loose air permeability, good drainage and proper granularity. It should be noted that the plants of the genus Shihlia do not belong to the fleshy root flowers, and the cultivated soil should not be excessively granulated. It should be cultivated with a fine sandy soil of about 1 mm in size and rich in humus. 3 parts of rotted leaf soil, 3 parts of river sand, 1 part of garden soil, and 1 part of slag can be mixed and mixed, and a small amount of calcium material such as bone meal can be mixed and sieved to remove fine soil. Cut down the rot when cutting the pot, cut the roots of the elders, and trim the overgrown lignified disc stalks appropriately to promote the development of a robust new root and replant it with new soil. For beauty, a layer of gravel or ceramsite and other granular materials can be laid on the surface of the bowl.

Breeding method

Propagating stone lotus is a succulent plant, available ramets, leaf insertion, stem insertion, sowing and other methods.

Ramets

Can be combined with the turn basin, the method is to remove the growth of small plants next to the old plants, rooted directly on the basin, no roots to dry a few days, can survive after planting.

Leaf plug

It can be carried out in the growing season. Take the complete leaf with thick and thick leaves. After 3 to 5 days of drying, insert it obliquely or horizontally in the soil and let the base of the leaf be tightly integrated with the soil. After spraying, put it on the half shade to maintain it and keep the soil half As soon as possible, the base will take root and grow young.

Stem insertion For leaf cultivars such as the 'Bei Ji Hua Tuo' and 'Gao Sha Zhi Weng', it is very difficult for the leaf plugs to take root. The leaves of the stems can be cut and cut, and some of the varieties that are not prone to lateral buds can be cut off from the top of the rosettes. After a few days, they are cut and the rest remains in the soil. Soon, the remaining stems are The president grows a lot of young buds, and waits for the buds to grow and then cut them.

sowing

Usually in the fall or spring, the seeds are small and dusty. They can be directly sprinkled in the soil and covered with glass to keep the soil and air around the seed moist. This will help germinate the seeds. The seeds will be sown after 7 days to 10 days after sowing. Can germinate. Seeds can germinate.
