Culture methods and matters needing attention of how to raise Yulu, a succulent plant

Yulu is a succulent plant and is widely loved by everyone, so has anyone ever raised Yulu? do you know how to raise Yulu? Anyway, the editor doesn't know, but in order to answer everyone's doubts and broaden his knowledge, the editor decided to collect all kinds of information about Yulu and sort out a more specific material for everyone. Let's study it together.

How to raise Yulu, a succulent plant

1. The embodiment of the replacement of Yulu in the four seasons

The general temperature is very important, which is related to whether it is good or not. The temperature suitable for the growth of Yulu is 15-25 degrees and the humidity is controlled between 70-90. Take the Yangtze River Delta as an example. The temperature in spring and autumn is the most suitable. Yulu grows rapidly. Usually the juice in the body doesn't have time to fill, like a balloon that doesn't have enough air, and the glossiness of the surface such as white powder is slightly lower. When the summer temperature increased, Yulu stopped growing and went into dormancy, and the surface whitening transparency decreased. In winter, the indoor temperature should be maintained above 5 degrees, the slow growth appears semi-dormant, the body juice is filled, like a balloon with enough air, the glossiness of the window is the highest and the gloss of the window is high.

2. Watering of Yulu in different seasons

The temperature is suitable for spring and autumn. if you observe the beginning of the growth of Yulu, it shows that the root system is strong now. After the basin soil is dry, the basin soil can be watered thoroughly and blown in the ventilated place for a few days to remove the remaining water from the basin soil and raise it again. The summer temperature is higher, the jade dew stops growing, the window surface permeability decreases, now the root hair dryness does not have the water absorption ability should stop watering, can spray humidify in the dusk to alleviate the leaf surface wrinkle. If the temperature is above 10 degrees in winter, Yulu will grow slowly and keep the basin soil slightly damp. This is the most suitable for stuffy, improve the transparency of the window, increase appreciation. When the lowest temperature drops to 5 degrees, the window of Yulu turns white after frostbite, affecting people to watch.

3. Create a suitable small environment

The environment is also very important, we need to pay attention to, the above-mentioned Yulu suitable environmental humidity between 70-90, obviously need to create a small environment. The specific measures are: put plastic cups on the flowerpots; cover the boxes with plastic film or glass plates; build a small cupboard or shed with glass or sunboard; separate the anti-theft windows with stainless steel, press the glass above to prevent the rain, and cover the outside three sides with sunplates or thick transparent plastic sheeting, and so on. It should be noted that the smaller the space, the more likely the temperature and humidity in the environment to change suddenly, which is disadvantageous to plants. The temperature of 12:00-15:00 in spring and autumn can rise very high, up to 40-50 degrees, so it is humidified in the evening due to turning on ventilation before going to work during the day. Keep in mind that the stuffy cultivation during this period must be ventilated during the day and stuffy at night. If many friends turn it upside down, there will be something wrong with the plants. Summer high temperature and humidity is fatal to Yulu, this period must be mainly ventilation and cooling, remember not to sulk, in a sunny day, it can be sprayed and humidified around the plants at night.

4. Planting, distribution of soil and basin

First of all, the bluestone particles on the basin bottom cushion are larger, putting jade to stretch the base, holding Yulu with one hand and pouring red jade granular soil mixed with a small amount of peat, vermiculite and red jade along the four walls, some people will think that red jade will be powdered for a long time. I use two lines of hard red jade soil, which can be used to spread soil to 2/3 of the basin. Here, it is best to keep the soil covering the root system to maintain micro-tide, which is conducive to the growth of the root system. Next is the pure granular soil pavement, paved to the basin edge of 0.5 cm, complete the pavement. After putting on the basin, spray the water with a spray can, and the soil surface can be slightly moist. Then put it in a cool and ventilated place and wait for 3 to 5 days before the basin can be illuminated normally.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Yulu

First, the culture method of Yulu

1. Temperature: Yulu originated in South Africa. It enjoys a warm and dry semi-shaded environment and is not resistant to cold. Afraid of water dampness, the suitable temperature for growth is 18-22 degrees. It is suitable to grow in an environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer. Yulu is dormant or semi-dormant when it is hot in summer, and its growth is slow or completely stagnant. It can be maintained in a ventilated, cool and dry place, and avoid hot sun exposure and long-term rain. Do not pour too much water, stop fertilization, and return to normal management after autumn is cool. The lowest temperature in winter is about 8 ℃ at night and above 20 ℃ in daytime. The plant can continue to grow and should be watered normally. If watering is controlled, Yulu will enter a dormant state. It can withstand a low temperature of 3 ℃ ~ 5 ℃, or even a short-term low temperature of 0 ℃. If the plant is kept below 5 ℃ for a long time, the plant will not die, but there will be signs of frostbite on the leaves, especially the leaves on the periphery of the plant are easy to freeze, and the frozen leaves are white and can not be restored to their original form. Therefore, it is best to keep the winter temperature above 5 °C.

2. Lighting: Yulu is sensitive to light. If the light is too strong, the leaves will grow poorly and show light reddish brown. Sometimes the strong direct light will burn the leaves, leaving ugly marks. On the other hand, if the cultivation place is too shady, it will cause the plant type of Yulu to be loose and not compact, the leaves are long and thin, and the transparency of the "window" is poor. This kind of jade dew is very difficult to restore its original appearance, so it can only wait for this batch of overgrown leaves to fall off slowly, and then grow strong new leaves. For plants growing in semi-shade, the leaves are plump and transparent, so a sunshade net can be added from May to September and removed from October to April of the following year, which will provide adequate lighting.

3. Soil: Yulu is suitable for loose and fertile, has good drainage and permeability, contains calcareous, and grows in sandy soil with coarse grain size. Commonly used rotten leaf soil 2 parts, coarse sand or vermiculite 3 parts of mixed soil, and mixed with a small amount of bone powder and so on. "Yulu Shoujin", "Mao Yulu" and other high-grade varieties can also be planted with synthetic materials such as red jade soil, orchid stone and phytolith, but an appropriate amount of peat soil can be added to increase the content of organic matter in the soil.

4. Watering: watering during the growing period should master the principle of whether it is dry or not, and the principle of watering thoroughly should be avoided to avoid stagnant water and rain, especially not to rain for a long time to avoid rotting roots. But it is not suitable for long-term drought, otherwise the plant will not die, but the leaves will be withered and the leaf color will be dim. When the air is dry, you can often spray water to the plant and its surrounding environment, and in the growing season, you can cover the plant with a transparent colorless beverage bottle with the upper half cut off, so that it can grow in a small environment with moist air, which can make the leaves full and the transparency of the "window" higher. But the hot summer season must remove the beverage bottle, so as not to cause plant death due to muggy heat and humidity.

5. Fertilization: during the growth period, the principle of watering is not pouring or pouring, and the principle of pouring is to prevent plants from dying due to hot and humid conditions. There is no need to apply fertilizer during the dormancy period when it is hot in summer or low in winter. In the north, foam incubators are needed to cope with the cold climate.

Can be heat preservation, can improve the transparency of the window, increase ornamental. Foam incubators are needed to cope with colder climates in the north.

Disease and insect pest control of Yulu

The main disease of Yulu is rotting root disease, which is caused by the poor permeability of cultivated materials. And add pesticides to the soil. Therefore, the cultivation environment should be improved, loose and permeable soil should be selected, and there should be no long-term stagnant water. In addition, long-term accumulation of water in the center of the plant will cause a rotten heart. If the soil is not changed for a long time, the plant physiological disease will be caused by the senescence and hollowness of the root system, which will make the plant stop growing and the leaves will be withered and not full. The insect pest has the root pink scale, can carry on the high temperature treatment to the soil before planting, the soil accumulates water for a long time.

Compared with the problem of insects, the important thing of succulent plants like Yulu is the root rot disease caused by poor permeability of cultivation materials, which will lead to rapid senescence of plants, so plants begin to wither, so we must pay attention to these problems when raising Yulu. Reduce the risk of plant death.
