How to raise succulent snow lotus

1. Spring and autumn are the main growing period of snow lotus, which should be given sufficient light, such as insufficient light will cause snow lotus to grow too long, plant type loose, leaves thinner, leaf color dim, and white powder on the leaf surface reduced; while snow lotus plants growing in sufficient sunshine are compact, the leaves are thick and full, and the white powder on the leaves is thick, with good ornamental quality. Watering master "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly" to avoid rotting roots caused by stagnant water in the basin soil. In the growing season, the mature dilute liquid fertilizer or "low nitrogen, high phosphorus and potassium" compound fertilizer was applied every 20 days or so. When watering and fertilizing, try not to splash water and fertilizer on the leaves, and avoid rain, especially long-term rain, in order to avoid washing off the white powder on the leaves. Put it in a sunny place indoors in winter, if the lowest temperature at night is about 10 ℃, and there is a certain temperature difference between day and night, it can be properly watered and fertilized as appropriate to make the plant continue to grow. If it can not maintain such a high temperature, then control watering, stop fertilization, make the plant dormant, and can withstand the low temperature of 5 ℃ or even 0 ℃.

2. For the vigorous growing snow lotus to turn the basin every 1-2 years, in autumn, the basin soil requires looseness, permeability, good drainage, a certain particle size and an appropriate amount of calcium. It can be mixed with 3 parts of rotten leaf soil or peat soil, 3 parts of river sand or vermiculite, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of slag, and mixed with a small amount of bone powder and other calcareous materials. The diseases of Saussurea involucrata mainly include rotting roots caused by stagnant water in basin soil, rot caused by stagnant water in the center of the plant, which can be prevented by improving cultivation environment and methods, and pests such as powdery mildew scale caused by poor ventilation and soil pest root mealy scale, which can be controlled by insecticides.

1. Snow: snow lotus + special jade lotus. The characteristics of snow can not be more clear and clear. The thick powder of snow lotus and the folded leaves of Teyu lotus can be recognized at a glance.

Hibiscus snow lotus inherits the characteristics of Carola, so in a sunny environment, snow lotus tends to become pink, while hibiscus snow lotus turns red at the edge of the leaf.

5. Monroe: Xuelian + Carola. There have been different opinions about Monroe's life experience. But what is certain is that Monroe's goal is to turn red more easily.

Because the thick white powder obviously affects the play of the color.
