The breeding methods and matters needing attention of black mage

The Black Mage was a succulent plant with extremely high ornamental value. Its leaves were beautiful like a blooming flower, especially its purple-black color. Although it was darker in color, it could reflect the solemn and aloof temperament of the Black Mage, which was deeply loved and sought after by everyone. Do you know how to breed a good Black Mage?

Black mage breeding methods and precautions

1) Soil requirements. Choose fertile and better drainage culture soil planting, can use different pastoral soil, mixed point peat vermiculite pearlite, almost breathable can be. If the soil is not breathable or fertile enough, the leaves of the black mage will become pale, purple and greenish, very ugly.

2. Temperature requirements. Black mage likes warm, dry and sunny environment, drought tolerance, not cold, slightly tolerant of semi-shade. During the spring and autumn growing season, Black Mages were growing better. The most suitable temperature for growth period is 20~25℃, winter can withstand 5℃ low temperature, below 5℃, easy to appear leaf warming, deciduous phenomenon.

Summer heat, black mage will appear slight defoliation phenomenon, but does not affect its growth. Therefore, in summer, pay attention to ventilation, reduce watering, and move to a bright place where the sun is not direct. Try to put it in a cool outdoor place, indoor ventilation will have a certain impact.

3, watering method

Spring and autumn is its main growth stage, water and fertilizer management should be strengthened appropriately. Winter according to their own conditions combined with plant status to irrigate, and pay attention to cold, indoor heating facilities, pay attention to strengthen the light, according to the growth of corresponding watering.

Black mages will enter a short dormancy in summer. At this time, the plant status should be observed according to the temperature, and the watering frequency should be reduced accordingly, and the appropriate half-shade maintenance should be carried out.

Black Master breeding precautions

The Black Mage's transformation was very interesting. There would be spots on the growth points, and there would be a strange scene of flattened branches. It seemed to have lost its original elegant appearance.

During the growing season, Black Mages would often self-consciously burst out in multiple positions, which was even more surprising.

The branches would get taller and longer, and the leaves at the bottom would dry up and fall off. Other succulent plants also had this situation. There was no need to worry too much. The old piles were refined like this.

Black mage reproduction method

1. Beheading reproduction method

Black Mages breed very easily, but many wonder how one can grow multiple heads. This is very simple, decapitated cuttings is a good choice, but the shape may not be very beautiful. After beheading, Black Mages looked more like dormant Black Mages. Their leaves were slightly curled up and needed a longer period of growth.

The specific method is as follows: cut off the small head of the black mage who is too long or thin, put it in the shade to dry, put it in water to take root, or put it directly in the soil, let the stem cover the soil slightly, put it in a position with scattered light, and wait quietly for it to take root. After a period of time, the leaves are full of luster, basically rooted, and can be planted in different pots after stabilization.

2. Cutting method

It was not easy for Black Mages to reproduce. The aerial roots on the branches became support pillars, and the chances of germination were very low. However, it is not ruled out that leaf insertion can be successful. Remove the fallen or old leaves at the bottom and lay them flat on semi-moist soil or cover the base with thin soil.

The rest is to wait quietly for the roots to take root, do not move freely after taking root, bury the roots in the soil, and soon you can grow small buds.

Is Black Mage expensive?

Black mage prices are different in different regions, such as Tianjin. Black Master in Tianjin because of the climate is more suitable, breeding more, so cheaper in Tianjin. You can refer to the following prices for this flower friend:

Single head, leaf crown within 10 cm of the seedlings, generally single digits, larger, multi-headed, about 15 yuan, more than 10 tall plants in about 25 yuan. The price is relatively reasonable, but if you buy directly from a treasure, it is difficult to guarantee the quality.

To sum up, black mages were actually very good at breeding, but they needed to be carefully maintained when winter came, because plants were generally weaker in winter. The main reason was that black mages liked warmth and did not like cold.
