How to raise succulent light bulb methods and matters needing attention for succulent plant culture

The light bulb is a very cute succulent, round, fat and electric bulb is very similar, the unique shape of the light bulb also makes the bulb succulent body is very fragile, so it is necessary to find out its needs in the aspects of watering, light and temperature. The following will provide you with a reference.

How to keep succulent bulbs

1. Temperature and light

The small light bulb likes the sunny, cool and dry environment, but it is not resistant to the sun. Although it is dormant in summer, it still needs proper shading.

The temperature drops in autumn, the light bulb wakes up, and the watering resumes to ensure sufficient light. In winter, the temperature should be increased properly, and the plants should be maintained indoors to ensure that the temperature is controlled above 0 ℃ to avoid frostbite. The bulb grows slowly, and the required nutrients can be drawn from the light to ensure sufficient sunlight so that the bulb can grow healthily. However, there is a great difference in the environment between the north and the south, and flower friends breed according to their own environment.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Succulent light bulbs are more resistant to drought and afraid of waterlogging. Bulb seedlings in the early growth, the center of gravity is unstable, may be stagnant, can be properly righted with a toothpick, pour a small amount of water, to avoid flooding the plant. Summer plants are dormant, watering a small amount of water, once every half a month, watering too much will rot. When watering, pay attention to watering close to the soil, do not pour water on the leaves.

Light bulbs grow slowly, the requirements for nutrients are not high, generally do not need additional fertilization, pay attention to avoid rain in maintenance, prevent hot sun exposure, appropriate watering according to weather conditions.

3. Cultivation medium

The light bulb is not resistant to waterlogging, and the selected soil has better water permeability and air permeability. The medium of the light bulb is usually cinder mixed with a small amount of peat, a small amount of red jade and blue stone are added to the surface of the basin soil, and then covered with granular river sand. When watering, try not to pour too much, do not need to soak the basin, to ensure the dryness of the medium.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of succulent plants in light bulbs

1. Sufficient light

Although the light bulb likes the sunny environment, it is necessary to ensure sufficient sunshine in the dormant period. However, the sun intensity is large in summer, and the growth of the bulb is limited in the dormant period, so shading should be maintained throughout the summer.

2. Watering the right amount

There will be a layer of old leaves on the surface of the bulb area, which can absorb water, so you don't need to pour too much water in summer to avoid the basin soil being too dry and wet. Watering usually uses the soaking pot method, or dripping, do not spray directly on the plant, so as not to affect the normal respiration of the plant.

3. Choose the right basin soil

The basin soil should be selected when planting, usually with cinder mixed with a small amount of peat, add a small amount of red jade soil and blue stone, and spread a layer of river sand on the surface. If the meat grows for a long time, the surface river sand can be replaced in summer to enhance its water permeability.

4. Timely reproduction

Usually, sowing and reproduction are carried out in autumn, around the middle of September. Of course, if the bulb grows well, you can split it at the end of summer.

5. Points for attention

After summer, there will be a layer of wrinkled old leaves on the surface of the bulb, although not beautiful, but it can help the bulb resist the damage of the hot sun, and can absorb water from the air to ensure that the young plants are tender, and remember not to cut off at will.

The seeds of the light bulb are small. Cover them gently with a small piece of glass after sowing. When watering, pay attention to watering the seeds lightly. Do not flush the seeds out of the soil.

Why does the succulent bulb change color

I. Lighting

One of the main reasons why succulent bulbs turn red is light, which makes succulent bulbs discolored is the most perceptive and effective way. Put it in a place where there is enough sunlight, its color begins to darken, and then slowly turns red. Every autumn, the atmospheric concentration in the air becomes lighter, the visibility in the air becomes stronger and stronger, the intensity of solar radiation increases, and the intensity of ultraviolet light reaches the highest value in a year, so autumn is the best time for succulent bulbs to change color. The color of the succulent light bulb after turning red is closely related to the length and intensity of sunshine.

Second, temperature

When the temperature drops in winter, the color of succulent bulbs will deepen in a low temperature environment. At first, the succulent light bulb turned red in some places, the color gradually deepened, and finally the whole leaf turned red. This phenomenon is caused by the self-protection function of the succulent bulb, and the anthocyanin in the succulent bulb has the function of preventing cold and keeping warm. In winter, the relatively high temperature during the day can meet the slow growth of succulent bulbs without hibernation, and the temperature drops rapidly at night. The cold environment can promote the synthesis of anthocyanin. The lower the temperature is, the higher the anthocyanin production is. The anthocyanin in the succulent bulb increases, and it becomes redder and redder.

Morphological characteristics of light bulb

The skin of the bulb is bright green and translucent. In the dormant period of summer and in the environment with sufficient light, the epidermis is red. The flowers are large purplish red, white in the center, and bloom in spring or autumn. Flowers open during the day and close at night, but it is difficult to blossom if the cultivation environment is not bright enough or on rainy days.

Despite the fact that the light bulb is a round translucent green ball, a well-raised light bulb can also blossom, and the light bulb can also change color, showing different colors under different temperatures and light, so friends who cultivate light bulbs can observe the culture environment of the light bulb according to the color of the light bulb.
