Blue stone lotus is a very beautiful and elegant succulent plant, shaped like a lotus, most of the leaves are light blue, but the edges of the leaves are surrounded by light pink, the color is very beautiful. But how to breed such a beautiful blue stone lotus? Let's get to know it with the editor.

Propagation method of blue stone lotus

1. Beheading method

Beheading is usually carried out after the blue stone lotus grows in vain. After the blue stone lotus grows, the central leaf gathers obviously and the stem elongates. At this time, the leaf can be picked, the elongated part can be cut off and replanted. Blue stone lotus has a strong ability to reproduce, like to grow in groups, the cut leaves and buds will quickly root and grow, and the rest will also produce a lot of small buds, which is another kind of growth landscape.

2. Leaf insertion method

Select the healthy and disease-free mother plant, cut the leaves, you can choose old leaves or buds, cut them off. Then lay it flat or bury it slightly at the base and keep the soil dry. In order to promote rooting, red jade soil or vermiculite cuttings can be used to improve the survival rate. After 2 or 3 weeks, the leaves will sprout one after another, and when they grow up, they can be preserved in the basin or directly in the original basin.

3. Sowing method

Because the seeds of blue stone lotus are very small, it is almost difficult to finish by sowing on demand, so it is usually carried out by blind sowing. Fold a piece of hard white paper in half to form a paper slot. Place the seed carefully on the white paper, then gently tap on the back of the white paper so that the seed can be sown evenly into the designated area. After sowing, maintain a certain humidity, there are conditions can be used to sow seedlings box, can improve the germination rate.

Can the leaves be inserted into the succulent plant blue stone lotus?

It can be inserted by leaves. After taking off the leaves, dry and wait for the wound to heal (be careful to use the leaves with growing points or they will not grow). The soil inserted by the leaves should be disinfected with carbendazim to prevent the leaves from decaying water, and the leaves can be inserted with pure vermiculite leaves (without disinfection and sterility. Good rooting) the leaf insertion soil should be moist and convenient for rooting, and the leaves should be laid flat or obliquely inserted in the soil. When the new bud consumes the nutrition of the mother leaf, it can be transplanted into the flowerpot (that is, the leaves are dried up and run out of water).

The reason for the growth of blue stone lotus

Sunshine: if you don't bask in the sun for a long time, you can't just see some astigmatism, or if you bask in the sun very little, it will cause the plant to grow too much.

Watering: overwatering, excessive watering, plant roots in a humid environment for a long time, stimulate the excessive growth of stems and leaves.

Ventilation: because the summer sun is strong, succulent plants can not be exposed to the sun, so in the environment of high temperature and high humidity, if the excess moisture in the succulent basin does not evaporate by the sun, it can only be ventilated. Ventilation must be maintained after watering, otherwise, the accumulation of water in the basin can easily stimulate succulent growth or breeding diseases.

Fertilization method

Before planting the plant in the container, add the right amount of animal manure or eggshell powder to the substrate.

In the vigorous period of its growth and development, the demand for fertilizer is relatively large, special liquid fertilizer can be used, and the frequency can be chosen once a month. The frequency does not need to be too high, because as we have mentioned above, it does not have much demand for fertilizer. If fertilization can be well controlled, the leaves of the plant will keep it green, which is of course what we would like to see.

It is also important to note that plants go into dormancy at the hottest time in summer, when growth is very slow or tends to stop, and we all know that it is not suitable to apply fertilizer at this time. However, this period of time will not last long, and after this stage, it will be back to normal.

In fact, the treatment of plants must be carefully maintained, and the method must be correct, which is why some flower friends buy back succulent girls who are like fairies after a period of time, while some flower friends are hard-born to become female losers.
