Fire sacrifice fleshy propagation method Fire sacrifice fleshy cutting method

Fire sacrifice is a kind of succulent plant, which gets its name because of its fiery red color. The planting method of fire sacrifice is also relatively simple, the growth rate is fast, and there are many breeding methods. But many flower friends do not know the correct breeding method of fire sacrifice, so let's learn about it with Xiaobian.

The method of succulent breeding in fire sacrifice

Cut off your head. First of all, cut off the long head of the fire sacrifice, remove part of the leaves to reveal part of the stem, and then dry the wound in a cool place. Cut off the small head in the same basin, insert it directly in the soil with good moisture permeability, and wait for the root to grow.

Note: the fire sacrifice seedlings of the cuttings are basically green, and the soil of the fire sacrifice should also use a small amount of peat soil, and there is no need for paving stone when cutting, because the branches of the fire sacrifice are easy to crawl and take root quickly.

After the seedlings take root, they can be watered properly. The summer fire festival will enter a short dormant period, requiring ventilation and sunshade. If you immediately enter summer after beheading in spring, you need to do a good job of ventilation and cooling, otherwise the seedlings that have just taken root are easy to die halfway.

Cutting method of succulent plant in fire sacrifice

The cuttings of fire offerings are often combined with pruning, cutting the leaves in the growing season, drying them in one or two places for a few days, and laying them flat in the soil after the cut is dry.

Maintenance. Be psychologically prepared before inserting leaves, and it takes a long time to take root. It takes less than a month to take root, but it takes a long time to sprout, sometimes more than half a year to sprout. So before taking root and sprouting, pay attention to watering to ensure that the soil is moist.

The culture method of fire sacrifice

1. Light: the more sufficient the light is, the greater the temperature difference between day and night is, the brighter the leaf color is. When the temperature permits, it is best to put it outside for maintenance to ensure sufficient light. When the light is insufficient or the soil moisture is too much, the whole plant is light green or dark green, and the leaf sparse spacing elongates, which accelerates the upward growth, which seriously affects the ornamental property, and may even die because of the obstruction of plant photosynthesis.

2, moisture: the fire sacrifice is easy to rot in the excessive humid environment, do not water too much, in order to avoid root water siltation, it is best to choose a basin with a drainage hole at the bottom, and a red pottery basin with good air permeability can be selected for beginners to plant. Usually about once every 10 days, each time can be thoroughly watered, according to the climate differences of different regions and seasons, the watering frequency can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

3. Soil: the fire sacrifice should be cultivated in sandy soil with good drainage and permeability to facilitate the removal of excess water and the growth of plant roots. It can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, sand soil and garden soil. If the basin is changed every 1 ~ 2 years in spring, the necrotic old root can be cut off.

4. Temperature: stop growing or slightly frostbite when the fire sacrifice is less than 5 ℃, and the water frozen cells in the leaves below 0 ℃ are necrotic. When the temperature is too high (more than 35 ℃) or too low (less than 5 ℃) in winter and summer, the plant growth should be reduced or stopped temporarily, and the watering frequency should be restored when the temperature is suitable. Pay attention to ventilation during high temperatures in summer to prevent prolonged exposure to the sun to avoid sunburn.

5, pruning: fire offerings usually need to remove the dry old leaves in time, so as not to accumulate and cause bacteria to breed. When the plant grows excessively or grows too high, it can be molded by pruning the top branches and leaves and controlling the plant height to maintain the beauty of the plant type. The top part of the cut can be inserted into the sandy soil after drying the wound to take root and become a new plant. The stems and leaves at the bottom can sprout more lateral buds.

6, fertilizer: fire sacrifice fertilization should not be too much, especially nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the plant will grow too long and the leaves will not be red. Apply thin fertilizer dominated by phosphorus and potassium once a month.

The growth habit of fire sacrifice

Fire sacrifice originated in South Africa and can be cultivated in many places in the world. Like cool, dry and sunny environment, resistant to drought, afraid of waterlogging, with a certain degree of cold resistance. Although the plant can grow in the semi-shade or shade, the leaves are green, so it is difficult to highlight the characteristics of the variety. Prefer cool, dry and sunny environments and sandy soils with good drainage.

Through the above content, I believe you have a certain understanding of the breeding technology of fire sacrifice. As we all know, the ornamental value of fire sacrifice is very high, and its color will change with the change of temperature, especially when the sun is enough, so it is very popular.
