How to raise the succulent ear of the moon rabbit ear culture methods and matters needing attention

Moon rabbit ear is a common variety of succulent inside, its shape is quite special, the leaf is covered with some white villi, there is a circle of red dots at the top of the leaf, the ornamental value is still very high. Many people want to buy rabbit ears and raise them at home, but they don't know how to raise them.

How to raise the succulent ears of the moon rabbit

1. Basin soil: the basin is renewed and changed every spring, and the basin soil is a mixture of rotten leaf soil and coarse sand.

2. Watering: water once a week during the growing period, spray around the plant at high temperature in summer, reduce watering in autumn, and keep dry in winter.

3. Fertilization: fertilizing once a month during the growing period, using diluted cake fertilizer or "Huiyou" 15-15-30 special fertilizer for potted flowers.

4. Diseases and insect pests: poor indoor ventilation, prone to shell insects and whitefly damage, can be sprayed with 1000 times omethoate EC.

Culture method of Rabbit ear

1. Rabbit ears need a sunny, cool, dry environment, resistant to semi-overcast, afraid of waterlogging, and avoid muggy heat and humidity. It has the habit of growing in cool season and dormant at high temperature in summer. The period from September to June of the second year is the growing period of the plant (the environment of flower friends is different, and the growing period is also short). If the light is not enough, the plant is easy to grow, and the distance between leaves and leaves will be longer, making the plant type loose and the stem very fragile. the leaves will also be elongated and the color will be lighter. On the other hand, the plants that grow in sunny places are short and strong, the arrangement between leaves will be relatively compact, and the ears of moon rabbits will not grow too slowly.

2. The moon rabbit ears of kites are raised in a sunny room. During the growing period, it is necessary to keep the soil slightly wet and avoid stagnant water. Soil kites use cinder mixed peat and a small amount of perlite, with a proportion of about 6:3:1. The rabbit ear can withstand the low temperature of about minus 2 ℃ when the basin soil is dry, which is the indoor temperature, not in the open air. The water is basically cut off throughout the winter, and the water will begin to be cut off slowly below 5 degrees.

3. When the summer temperature exceeded 35 ℃, the growth of the whole plant basically stagnated. At this time, watering should be reduced to prevent root rot caused by excessive moisture in the basin soil. And strengthen ventilation, proper shading, avoid hot sun exposure, the whole summer is basically such maintenance, it is worth explaining that in summer, kites are not cut off water throughout the season, is only given a small amount of water, otherwise the old leaves are easy to dry up, watering on the edge of the basin, about 2 times a month, about 7-9 o'clock in the evening water supply, by this time the sun has gone down, will not affect the roots of plants. Avoid long-term rain in cultivation, or it will rot.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of Rabbit ear

The growth rate of the rabbit ear is very fast, and the basin can be changed every one to two years. The time to change the basin is in early spring. The main ways of reproduction of Rabbit ear are ramet propagation and cutting propagation. Moon rabbit ears like cool avoid damp and hot, dormant in summer, the rest of the time is the growing period, moon rabbit ears like light, lack of light is easy to grow.

Prevention and Control of Diseases and insect pests of Rabbit ear

1. The main diseases of Rabbit ear are wilt disease and leaf spot disease. The disease of rabbit ear is mainly related to daily maintenance. Excessive watering, improper fertilization and lack of light are the causes of the disease. The main method of disease of rabbit ear is prevention. In daily maintenance, attention should be paid to correct operation and prevention as far as possible. Once the lesion occurs, use 50% gram carbendan 800 times liquid spray treatment.

2. Insect pests include scale insects, whitefly and red spiders. Some pests like windless, warm and humid weather. This is true of shell insects and whiteflies, while red spiders prefer drier weather. Once traces of pests are found, pesticides should be sprayed. 1000 times of omethoate EC can be used to kill pests. You can also make self-made plant pesticides, such as garlic water, pepper water, tobacco water and so on. These homemade botanical pesticides are a bit pollution-free, simple to make and low in cost.

The breeding of rabbit ears mainly starts from several aspects, such as fertilizer and water, insect pests, light and so on. As long as the skills are mastered, it is relatively simple when breeding. Moon rabbit ears like the sun, so it is better to put them in a sunny place when breeding.
