How to propagate the lateral buds of Guanyinlian

Guanyinlian is one of the common varieties of succulent plants, which is shaped like a rosette. The leaves are flat and slender, and the tip and edge of the leaves form a very beautiful brown or purplish red. So, how do the lateral buds of Guanyinlian propagate?

First, how to reproduce the lateral buds of Guanyinlian?

1. Split-plant propagation: separate the small plants growing around the Guanyinlian plant into the mother plant, and then replant it into a flowerpot and pour water through it.

two。 Cuttings: put the leaves on relatively moist soil, the leaves grow roots and form new plants.

Second, how to raise Guanyin lotus?

1. Soil

The basin soil is required to be loose and fertile with good drainage and air permeability. You can add 1/3 of humus to the basin soil, 1/3 of river sand or coal cinder, and a little bone powder. Because the soil is moist, the newly planted plants do not need to irrigate too much water to maintain their semi-dry state, so as to facilitate the restoration of the root system. The general soil can be used to restore the root system. The better point is to use garden soil to add 1/3 of humus soil, plus 1/3 of river sand or coal ball dregs, mixed with a little bone powder.

two。 Temperature

The suitable growth temperature is 20-30 ℃ and the overwintering temperature is 15 ℃ in the warm, humid and semi-overcast environment. In winter, when the temperature is not lower than 5 ℃ at night and above 15 ℃ during the day, the plant can continue to grow and can be watered normally and fertilized properly, and if watering is controlled to make the plant dormant, it can also tolerate the low temperature of 0 ℃.

3. Watering

Watering follows the principle of "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly" to avoid long-term stagnant water to avoid rotting roots, but not too dry, otherwise the plant will not die, but the growth is slow, the leaf color is dim, and there is a lack of vitality. In the period of high temperature in summer, the leaf water evaporation is large and the water demand is more, such as the lack of water is very easy to make the leaf wilt, so it is necessary to spray water to the leaf surface frequently and keep the environment moist at the same time, but the stagnant water in the basin must be avoided, otherwise it will cause root rot.

4. Fertilizer application

Mature rarefied liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium was applied every 20 days or so. Don't splash fertilizer and water on the leaves when fertilizing. Fertilization is usually carried out in the morning or evening when the weather is clear, and the water is watered once in the evening or the next morning to dilute the residual fertilizer in the soil.

Guanyinlian is widely used. It can be planted in small and medium-sized pots. It is used to decorate the study, living room, bedroom and office. It is noble and elegant.
