Growth habits of peach eggs

Peach eggs like warm, dry, sufficient light environment, strong drought tolerance, like loose, good drainage and breathable soil, no obvious dormancy period, can accept strong sunshine, under full light, the color is more bright and moving, and the plant type is more beautiful and compact. if there is no light, the leaves will show light green, the leaves will be flat and sparse, suitable for open-air cultivation. It grows well in warm winter and cool summer climate, and is not resistant to hot and humid weather in summer. Except for the short dormancy at high temperature in summer, the growth is basically the same in the rest of the time. When there is plenty of sunshine, it will show an intoxicating pink, and the ovoid leaves are like ripe peaches.

Propagation methods of peach eggs

Peach eggs can be propagated by branch cutting, leaf cutting and sowing, but the leaf cutting method is generally used. Leaf insertion is best carried out in spring and autumn. Leave healthy, complete and full leaves on the micro-tide and loose soil surface. Do not expose themselves to the sun. After a few days or weeks, they will naturally sprout roots and small leaves. When the roots reach 2-3 cm long, the roots can be covered with a thin layer of fine sand and can grow into independent plantlets. Sowing is recommended for flower friends with rich succulent planting experience, and beginners try carefully.

How to raise peach eggs?

1. Soil: peach egg culture soil uses peat: perlite: cinder is about 1:1:1, in order to isolate the contact between plants and the soil surface, but also for more breathable, can be covered with granular clean river sand or pumice (river sand size 3 to 5 mm), it is also recommended to use granular soil culture, such as volcanic rock, Maifan stone and so on.

2. Watering: peach eggs are required to be dry and thoroughly watered, not dry and not watered. The reason for the loss of leaves is that when the water is too sufficient or too much water is given in the off-season, it is easy to lose the leaves by gently touching the leaves, with less water, or gradual water supply, which can be avoided as far as possible. The fallen leaves can be inserted as long as they are full, which is very easy to live.

3. Pruning: peach eggs are easy to grow lateral branches after beheading, and the old stalks that have been raised without beheading grow very long before they begin to branch. in order to be more beautiful, they should be beheaded and germinate lateral buds when they are similar to each other, so that the plants will be beautiful in groups.

4. Summer: when raising peach eggs in summer, pay attention to ventilation and shade, water 3 to 4 times a month, and a small amount of water at the edge of the basin to slowly spend the summer, so as to keep the roots of the plant from drying up because of excessive dryness.

5. Winter: peach eggs will gradually lose water when the temperature is less than 3 degrees in winter, keep the basin soil dry below 0 degrees and keep it no less than 3 degrees below zero as far as possible, so that they can pass the winter safely and have less water as much as possible. in the beginning of spring, the water supply should be gradual or rotting roots may occur.
