Golden branches and jade leaves, also known as Portulaca oleifera, Ginkgo biloba, Golden Silk, etc., are perennial evergreen fleshy shrubs of Portulaca oleraceae, with fleshy stems, purple brown to light brown, branches nearly horizontal, new branches are purple-red under the condition of sufficient sunshine, and if the light is insufficient, they are green, with high ornamental value. Let's take a look at the golden branches and jade leaves together.

Growth habits of Golden branches and Jade leaves

Golden jade leaves are native to South Africa, like warm, dry and sunny environment, resistant to drought and semi-shade, not resistant to waterlogging. Although it can also grow in the shade, the distance between the stem nodes will be longer, and the leaves will be large and thin, and there will be no luster, which will affect the ornamental. It is suitable to grow in sandy soil with medium fertility and good drainage and permeability. During the growing period, the golden branches and jade leaves will be watered thoroughly to avoid stagnant water in the basin soil. The temperature should be controlled above 10 ℃ in winter. Although the plants will not die at about 5 ℃, the leaves will fall off a large number.

The Propagation method of Golden Branch and Jade Leaf

Golden branches and jade leaves can be cut with strong and full branches in the growing season. The lower leaves are removed before cutting and dried for a few days. After the cut is dried, it is planted in the culture soil prepared with rotten leaf soil, coarse sand or vermiculite and 1 part of garden soil. keep the soil a little moist after planting. Keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water after survival, keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water, do not apply fertilizer in the first 2 months to promote root growth, apply mature thin liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so, and cut off the young branches germinated at the base in time to concentrate nutrients and speed up the growth of the trunk.

The culture method of golden branch and jade leaf

1. Soil: Golden branches and jade leaves like loose, fertile and well-drained sandy soil, which can be mixed with rotten leaf soil and garden soil, and then add appropriate amount of river sand, which can improve soil air permeability and facilitate drainage.

2. Temperature: Golden branches and jade leaves like warm, dry and sunny environment, resistant to semi-overcast. The most suitable temperature for the growth of golden branches and jade leaves is 15-25 ℃. The leaves are not cold-resistant and should be protected against freezing in winter. The overwintering temperature is above 10 ℃ and is vulnerable to freezing damage below 5 ℃. Summer should be shaded to protect against the scorching sun.

3. Lighting: although golden branches and jade leaves like plenty of sunshine, they need proper shading in high temperature in summer to prevent hot sun exposure and pay attention to ventilation. In winter, the golden branches and jade leaves should be moved to the sunny place indoors to keep the leaves clear and green. Golden branches and jade leaves lack of light for a long time, which will cause the distance between its stem nodes to become longer, and the leaves will become larger, thinner and lose luster.

4. Watering: Golden branches and jade leaves are growing period from spring to autumn, which can be watered appropriately, but there can be no stagnant water in the basin. Hot summer can spray water around golden branches and jade leaves to increase air humidity. In winter, watering should be controlled to make the basin soil slightly dry. It should be noted that the golden branches and jade leaves should be watered thoroughly if they are not dry or watered.

5. Fertilization: the golden branches and jade leaves need to apply thin mature cake liquid fertilizer or thin water based on nitrogen fertilizer every semimonthly during the growing season. If the growth of golden branches and jade leaves is too weak, add liquid fertilizer containing potassium. The fertilization of golden branches and jade leaves should be light and thin, not thick. Stop fertilizing in winter.

6. Change the basin: the golden branch and jade leaf can turn the pot every two years in spring, cut off part of the root system, remove the original soil from 1 big 2 to 1 big 3, and replant it with new culture soil.

7. Pruning: Golden branches and jade leaves have strong germination, so they should be pruned and sprouted frequently to maintain the beauty of the tree. And when turning the pot for the golden branches and jade leaves, the golden branches and jade leaves can be re-cut, cut off the weak branches and other branches that affect the shape of the tree, and cut off part of the root system, and then replanted.

8. Diseases and insect pests: Golden branches and jade leaves are prone to anthracnose, and 1500 times of the leaves are sprayed with 50% Topurazine wettable powder. The pests are harmful to whitefly and scale insects, which are sprayed 1000 times with 50% fenitrothion EC.

Matters needing attention in the culture of golden branches and jade leaves

1. Sprinkling a few soybeans in the soil with golden branches and jade leaves can improve the soil and release nitrogen fertilizer.

2. Golden branches and jade leaves should not be kept indoors for a long time. It is best to cultivate soil such as ginseng and sawdust, corrosion of charcoal and so on.

3. Watering the golden branches and jade leaves should be observed and recorded. The root system is fleshy and easy to rot.

4. In winter, the leaves of golden branches and jade leaves can survive the winter safely if the room temperature is not less than 10 ℃. The leaves of the pairs of golden branches and jade leaves will fall off at about 5 ℃.

5. Golden branches and jade leaves like plenty of sunshine, which can make it bask in the sun more. The sun can't be too strong. About three hours a day is enough.
