The latest culture method of rainbow jade

Rainbow jade, otherwise known as Merry Christmas, eardrop grass, etc., is a perennial succulent herb of the Sedum family, the origin is Mexico, the growth rate is relatively fast, spring and summer is the main growth season, and the high temperature of 35 degrees Celsius in summer needs shade. If you keep it above 5 degrees Celsius in winter, you can safely survive the winter. Let's take a look at the breeding method of rainbow jade.

The growth habit of rainbow jade

Rainbow jade is cold-resistant and not afraid of hot sun exposure, and its leaves are getting redder and redder, so there is no need to shade the sun in midsummer, but the leaves growing in the semi-shade are green and bright. Sometimes a pot of rainbow jade due to the intensity and time of exposure to the sun, the leaves will be red and green, the new leaves because of a short time, often the top is red, other parts are still green. Prefer warm environment and obvious temperature difference between day and night, have strong adaptability to temperature, and can grow well between 10 ℃ and 28 ℃.

The breeding method of rainbow jade

1, stem insertion: rainbow jade stem insertion can use pruned branches, cut off 5 cm stem segment, it is best to dry in a cool place for 3 to 5 days, wait for the incision to dry and then insert it into the seedbed.

2. Cuttage: leave several pairs of leaves at the bottom and intercept a section of the upper plant. Leave it in a cool place to dry. It can be inserted into the fluvo-aquic soil (do not accumulate water, otherwise it will rot) and wait for it to root. In the process, the lower leaves may wither and wither for the nutrition needed by the hairy root. Cuttings can also be inserted into the soil after waiting for air roots in the air.

3. Leaf insertion: leaf insertion is to pick some small leaves and put them flat on the dry soil. It will not take long to grow small flesh and some red bearded air roots. At this time, just bury the roots in the soil. You'll grow up. This method has a large reproduction coefficient and is suitable for mass reproduction, but the forming is slow.

Culture method of Hongzhiyu

1. Soil: rainbow jade is planted in loose, fertile and drained soil, which can be mixed with humus soil, garden soil and sandy soil.

2. Watering: rainbow jade needs less water, basically watering once or twice a week. Rainbow jade should follow the principle of not drying and watering thoroughly, and reduce the amount of water properly when the temperature is low.

3. Lighting: rainbow jade likes a warm environment, has a relatively large demand for light, and likes an environment with strong sunshine, so rainbow jade plants can be placed in a bright living room or cultured on a balcony.

4. Temperature: rainbow jade has a strong ability to adapt to temperature, and the larger temperature difference between day and night is also conducive to the growth of rainbow jade, which grows more luxuriantly between 10 ℃ and 28 ℃.

5. Fertilization: Hongzhiyu has a general demand for water, basically fertilizing organic liquid fertilizer once a month, avoiding branches and leaves as soon as possible so as not to cause branches and leaves to rot.

What if the rainbow jade loses its leaves?

1. Watering: rainbow jade grows slowly and is resistant to drought, so it is not suitable for big fat and big water. if you keep watering, it will definitely lose leaves and rotten roots.

2. Light: rainbow jade likes warmth, and he should be fully exposed to light throughout the growing period. But summer exposure can cause sunburn of leaves.

3. Ventilation: the disease of rainbow jade is less, but if the ventilation is not good, the air humidity is high, stem rot and leaf spot will occur occasionally.
