How to keep the latest stripes in twelve rolls?

Striped twelve volumes, also known as striped snake tail orchid, Caragana tail, etc., are perennial succulent herbs of the Liliaceae, with good ornamental value. The thick leaves are embedded with ribbon white stars, fresh and elegant, and can be matched with beautiful pot bowls to decorate table cases and several shelves. let's take a look at how to raise the twelve volumes of stripes!

The growth habit of twelve stripes

Striped twelve volumes are native to the tropical arid regions of southern Africa and can be cultivated in many places in the world. Like warm, dry and sunny environment. For fear of low temperature and humidity, the optimum temperature in the growing period is 16: 18 ℃ from March to September, 10: 13 ℃ from September to March of the following year, and the lowest temperature in winter is not less than 5 ℃. The requirement to the soil is not strict, and the fertile and loose sandy loam soil is suitable.

The Propagation method of 12 Stripes

1. Ramet propagation: the best time for stripe 12-roll ramet is from February to March in early spring, the mother plant is taken out of the basin, the plant is separated with a sharp knife, each plant should have a root system, and its leaves should be pruned properly. it is beneficial to the survival of the ramet. Soak the cut plants in chlorothalonil solution for 5 minutes, take them out and dry them, and then plant them in a pot. Or use chlorothalonil to irrigate the root after putting it into the basin and maintain it normally.

2, leaf insertion propagation: stripes 12 rolls in transplanting, remove the soil at the bottom of the plant, select a complete leaf, required with part of the stem tissue. Put rooting powder on the leaves and dry them in a cool place. Then put the leaves in warm, shady, moist soil, and if you are lucky, the leaves will take root and grow plantlets.

3. Lateral bud propagation: striped twelve rolls will grow a lot of lateral buds in a certain environment, which can be separated from the mother plant and planted directly in the soil. After the lateral buds are removed, there will be a wound, smeared with rooting powder, placed in a cool place for 1 to 2 days, and then planted. Water carefully and keep the soil moist until the lateral buds take root.

Culture method of stripe twelve rolls

1. Soil: the twelve volumes of stripes are not strict with the soil, and the fertile and loose sandy loam soil is suitable for pot cultivation, because the root system is shallow, shallow planting is better, and the rotten leaf soil with fertile and good drainage is mixed with coarse sand. Keep the basin soil moist during the growing period and apply fertilizer once a month. During the semi-dormant period in winter and midsummer, it should be dry and watering should be strictly controlled.

2. Watering: the twelve rolls of stripes are more resistant to drought and not resistant to moisture, but they definitely do not like drought, so watering should be carried out alternately, watering must be thoroughly watered, and attention should be paid to whether there are cracks and leaks in the basin soil when watering, and should be blocked in time, otherwise, even if the watering is diligent, the basin soil can not be watered through, and it will be harmful for a long time. In winter, if the ambient temperature is lower than 15 ℃, it is necessary to maintain a certain dry state, which is beneficial to overwintering.

3, sunshine: stripes 12 volumes like light, resistant to semi-shaded environment, can not be placed in the shade for a long time, otherwise not only the growth will be inhibited, the stripes will gradually become dim. Summer needs to be maintained in a semi-overcast environment to avoid strong light to prevent burns. Sufficient light conditions are needed in winter, and lack of light can easily lead to leaf degradation and shrinkage, which seriously affects the normal growth.

4. Temperature: the optimum growth temperature of striped twelve rolls is 15 ℃ ~ 32 ℃. It is afraid of high temperature and muggy heat, and goes into dormancy when the summer temperature is above 33 ℃. Avoid cold frost, the overwintering temperature needs to be kept above 10 ℃, and when the winter temperature drops below 7 ℃, it will also enter a dormant state. If the ambient temperature is close to 4 ℃, it will die of frostbite.

5. Fertilization: the 12 rolls of stripes have little demand for fertilizer, which can be satisfied by applying thin fertilizer and water once a month, while thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer should be prohibited, otherwise it is easy to cause fertilizer damage and cause loss, and in serious cases, the whole plant is necrotic. As the growth is relatively slow, it is generally possible to change the basin once every two years, and some mature organic fertilizers should be added each time to ensure the nutritional needs of the plants. granular fertilizers generally only use slow-release fertilizers and controlled-release fertilizers.

6. Insect pests: root rot and brown spot sometimes occur in 12 volumes of stripes, which can be sprayed with 65% Dysen zinc wettable powder 1500 times. The main pests are whitefly and shell insects. Imidacloprid and aphids are used to control whitefly, scale and methophos are used to control shell insects, and shell insects can also be controlled by wiping or brushing.
