Second, the planting skills of gem flowers

1. Growth habits

The main results are as follows: (1) the environment with dry, ventilated and sufficient light is suitable for growing gem flowers. Gem flowers like the sun, but also like the soil containing humus, but also can adapt to the more barren soil

(2) the gem flower is very resistant to drought. Even if we do not water it for ten and a half days, it can still grow well, because each leaf is like a small reservoir in which all the water is stored in case of drought.

(3) it is also resistant to cold and shade, and it can adapt even in a sultry indoor environment. If the temperature is not 10 degrees in winter, if it is kept in a cool place for a long time, its plants will grow only and its leaves will grow sparsely. It can also be cultivated in open fields in the south of the Yangtze River and other areas.

2. Soil selection

Gem flowers need loose soil, good drainage and ventilation, fertile soil, we can use vermiculite, coarse sand, peat ash, rotten leaf soil each half, and then add a small amount of bone powder material, stir well and then use.

3. Temperature regulation

The gem flower will be in a dormant state when it is high in summer and low in winter. the main growth time is in the cooler spring root and autumn, and sufficient light is required during the growing period. lack of light will cause its plant to grow loosely and uncompactly, affecting its beauty. on the contrary, if there is enough light, its plant will grow more compact and its leaves will be thick and full. The color of the leaves will also be more gorgeous and shiny.

4. Proper watering

(1) the gem flower cannot be in a state of long-term stagnant water, and it is easy to have rotten roots, but its soil should not be allowed to be too dry, otherwise its plant will not die, but it will grow slowly, and the leaf color will be dull and lack of vitality.

(2) in the season of high temperature in summer, the transpiration of water is relatively large, and it needs to be watered more. If it is short of water, it is easier to wilt its leaves, so it is necessary to spray some water on its leaves and keep its environment moist at the same time, but it is necessary to avoid stagnant water in the basin, otherwise there will be root rot.
