How to raise a Bear Boy? skills of watering and fertilizing Bear Boy

Bear Boy is shaped like a bear claw, with a red edge at the top, just like the fingernails of bear claws. Bear Boy is a common domestic potted plant, so when raising it, you need to master some skills to make it fat and thick.

How does the bear boy get fat?

1. Soil. The sandy soil which requires medium fertility and good drainage can be mixed with coarse sand or vermiculite, garden soil and rotten leaf soil.

2. Light. Bear Boy likes warm, dry, sunny places and can withstand the high temperature of 30 degrees. Bear Boys should be placed in sunny places at ordinary times. Sufficient light can shorten the distance between leaves, thicken leaves and enhance ornamental quality. If it is too dark, the leaves of the plant will become soft and weak, and the internodes will grow, so that the villi on the surface will lose luster. However, when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees, it should be properly shaded to avoid the scorching sun to burn the leaves and affect the viewing.

3. Reproduction. The common breeding method of bear boy is cutting. the best choice for reproduction is spring and autumn, and the temperature is about 23 degrees, when bear boy stops dormant and begins to grow, which is helpful to improve the survival rate of the plant. When the bear boy breeds, choose the branches with full healthy leaves to cut off the branches under 4-6 pairs of plants and dry the branches in a cool and ventilated place. Insert the branches of the dried wound into the soil and wait for the roots in a cool and ventilated place, because the branches have no roots at this time, and exposure to the sun will cause a large amount of evaporation of water in the plant leaves and cause the plant to dry up. The best soil for branch cutting is vermiculite + perlite + peat soil so as to facilitate the rooting of plants.

Skills of watering and fertilizing Bear Boy

Watering:

1, the summer temperature is higher, when the temperature reaches above 35 degrees, the bear boy will have a dormant period, at this time to properly control the amount of water, otherwise the soil is too moist will make its roots rot easily.

2, in the new basin or new soil, watering must be less watering, at this time to keep the soil dry.

3, winter watering should be combined with indoor temperature and sunshine to water, if the sun is not sufficient, then to keep the soil slightly wet, not too wet.

4. The bear boy of the new cuttage should not be watered at the beginning, when there is no root system, the watered water can not be absorbed, and it may also cause the bottom to rot, so wait until it takes root before watering.

Fertilization:

1. As a matter of fact, Bear Boy does not have a high demand for fertilizer, but he should not apply fertilizer blindly. The above two fertilizers can provide him with corresponding nutrients, and he can be fertilized once at an interval of about two weeks. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too strong each time, and do not be greedy. Medium fertility is enough to make it grow healthily.

2. when applying liquid fertilizer, it should be combined with watering, so as to avoid having just been watered to make the soil too wet or just fertilized and watered, so that nutrients will be lost as a result of watering, and plants will not be able to absorb nutrients normally.

The breeding method of bear boy

Bud insertion method: Bud insertion is the most recommended method, the survival rate is very good, meat novice can also easily insert a pot. Pay attention to a few cutting techniques:

The main contents are as follows: 1. The selection of cuttings: cutting is to choose the buds cut off from the robust plants, and the branches that have been seriously lignified must be cut off, and tenderness is the key to the survival of cuttings.

2. Dry: after beheading, be sure to dry the branches in a cool place for 1 or 2 days, or apply plant ash to the wound, and then put on the basin.

3, shading: put the small buds directly on the surface of the soil, do not bask in the sun before taking root, avoid direct sunlight, not to mention the cheap hand always pick it up to see the hair root, this is a very bad habit that must be changed.

Diseases and treatment methods of Bear Boy

Wilt disease and leaf spot disease are two common symptoms of bear boys. Black plaques will appear when the symptoms are the same at the beginning of the disease. When the wilt disease is serious, the leaves are withered and yellow, and the plants die in a large area, which is more harmful. Leaf spot disease is the main harm to leaves, and dense spots will appear in the later stage, which will seriously affect the ornamental.

Control method: once the disease is found, the diseased leaves will be removed in time, and 50 grams of carbendan will be diluted 800 times before spraying on the surface of the plant.

Bear boys will be thicker as long as they are well maintained. It usually starts with the choice of soil. Then the light is also more important, in the later stage to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, only to do a good job in these aspects, in order to make the bear boy grow well.
