Culture methods and matters needing attention of Ji coral how to raise Ji coral

There is no doubt that corals are beautiful and precious, and Ji is what people called beauty in ancient times, so Ji coral, as a beauty in corals, must also be beautiful. However, whether it can be worthy of such a name, Ji coral is still waiting for people to test. Let's take a look at it with the editor.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Ji Coral

1. Soil requirements

During cultivation, the basin soil should be sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability and rich in calcium. It can be made of 3 parts of river sand, 2 parts of shells, 2 parts of cinder and 3 parts of rotten leaf soil (pond soil).

2. Planting method

Prepare a larger basin (thick mud basin is suitable), match the soil, and keep a little humidity. Select some sturdy stem segments (a section can be) implanted into the basin, and then spray water to make the surface of the basin soil bonded, and then directly into the sun exposure. Do not often water, the basin soil remains dry, after a period of time, some stems will begin to grow golden thorns, the stem will begin to flatten, widen, palmate trend.

It can't be watered very often, which is the way to force the palmate stem to grow. Then if the new born is always high quality and moist from the beginning, then the new stem will not have the tendency of applause, but grow as the original plant. When the stem is about 2cm wide, it can be put on the pot.

3. Fertilization method

Ji coral avoid the application of chemical fertilizer, which can easily lead to root rot, so it is appropriate to apply less or no fertilizer. You can apply rotten baking liquid twice every half a month in spring and late summer and early autumn. The basin soil should be dry rather than wet. If it is too wet for a long time, it will cause the lower part of the plant to rot, which will soon extend to the whole plant.

4. Lighting requirements

When Ji coral is placed in a room with insufficient light for a long time, it will grow too long, the new stem will be light green and become very slender, and the whole plant will have a different flavor. However, if the stem is then moved outside, the new stem will become thicker again, which will seriously affect the shape of the whole plant. Therefore, do not change the light conditions of Ji coral at will, and keep the light relatively stable.

5. Points for attention

In the second year after transplantation, the soil was changed before the spring growing season, and the management remained the same. To the peak growth period, the stem will grow completely palm-shaped, but at this time the stem is not very large, and the plant is not tall. If you want to get a bigger stem, you have to break off some extra stem buds and let it stand out. In the spring of the third year, some larger pots are replaced. If managed properly, the stem will grow out in the prosperous period and it should be the largest stem piece.

Fully formed palm-shaped plants should be extra careful in watering and fertilizing. once they rot, it will be a great loss of painstaking efforts for several years. We should mainly pay attention to the following points: avoid applying thick fertilizer; it is better to dry than wet; and keep plenty of sunshine.

How to raise Ji coral

Ji coral likes the sun, avoid exposure, family care can be placed in front of the window, balcony and other scattered bright places. If the light is not enough, there will be overgrowth, the new stem will be light green, become very slender, and the plant will be in a different state.

Winter and summer dormancy should save water and shade the sun. When watering in the spring and autumn period, we should pay attention to wait for the basin soil to dry and then water it, and water the soil thoroughly.

The new stem of Ji coral is very fresh and tender, and it is easy to be eaten in the wild, and family maintenance is often eaten by snails and other insect pests.

When does Ji coral blossom?

After planting or from the time of cutting, Ji coral has to grow and breed for three years before it can blossom. If it is seed propagation, it will take five years to blossom, but if it is planted well, it will blossom ahead of time.

The florescence of Ji coral is usually in the middle of summer, so the flowers at that time are really beautiful and rich.

Ji coral flowers are yellow, fresh and pleasant, with a faint fragrance, flowers like lotus petals rebirth, from the inside to the outside are yellow.

What about the overgrowth of Ji coral?

In general, the plants of Ji coral grow too much and become tall and thin, so we need to find out the reason first. Basically is to give enough light, indoor farming is best placed in bright places, can often move out of the outdoor, more sun, can make the plant thicker again, but easy to affect the shape of the plant. Water and fertilizer must be reasonably controlled and watered less. In general, more sunlight and less watering can inhibit the overgrowth of plants.

For the plants that have begun to grow in vain, if the plants are found, they can be maintained in the above way to inhibit its further overgrowth, and it is difficult for the plants that have grown very fast to change back, so they can only be nurtured slowly. You can also cut off the overgrown branches and cut them to propagate new plants.

People who know about Ji coral will know that the beauty of Ji coral is layered, just like coral, so people who grow this kind of succulent coral to appreciate Ji coral in their leisure time is indeed the best gift to life, and it is also the highest evaluation and reward for Ji coral.
