How to raise the latest common succulent plants?

A succulent plant is a part of a vegetative organ, such as a stem or leaf or root.(a few species have both parts) A group of plants having developed parenchyma for storing water and appearing plump and succulent in appearance. Most of them grow in arid areas. For a long time each year, their roots do not absorb water and they live only by water stored in their bodies. Sometimes people like to call them desert plants or sand plants. It is not accurate. Many succulents do grow in desert areas. Some do not grow in deserts. Many plants that are not succulent also grow in deserts.

So how do succulent plants grow? Because there are many kinds of succulent plants, Xiaobian will not introduce their breeding methods one by one here. In this small series, several common breeding methods of succulent plants are introduced, and most of the others are similar.

Method for cultivating succulent plants of Crassulaceae

Crassulaceae plants are perennial succulent herbs, flowering in summer and autumn, small and lush flowers, all colors have. The epidermis has wax powder, stomata depression, can reduce transpiration, is a typical xerophyte, asexual reproduction is strong, the so-called leaf can plant roots. Crassulaceae plants are short, because they are fleshy, water consumption and fertilizer are very small, so they are easy to grow and admire. Crassulaceae plants because of its short wind resistance, do not need a lot of water and fertilizer, pollution resistance, so become the more popular roof greening of the preferred plants.

1. Planting: dry planting in moist soil, not dry planting in wet soil. Mix the soil with some moisture, do not stick to hands, knead it into a ball, and then water it slowly. Give the plants time to adapt to the new soil and grow new roots. Do not expose them in the early stage of planting, and use bright scattered light.

2. Soil: keep water and ventilate, find a balance point, do not accumulate water, and ventilate. Common formula: peat, perlite, vermiculite, light stone 1:1:1, the ratio is not strict. If these things can not be found, you can use Cui Yun beautiful soil mixed with small particles of blue stone or plant gold stone or other granular things, beautiful soil is a kind of composite medium, but for more meat is a little too much water, so mix some particles to balance it.

3, light: most of the Crassulaceae plants like sufficient sunlight, early planting needs bright scattered light, do not expose to the sun, summer noon needs shading, to prevent burns.

4. Temperature: Crassulaceae is relatively cold-resistant, and the general varieties will not have relatively large damage above zero degrees. Plants at 5-30 degrees are relatively cool, and the greater the temperature difference, the better.

5, moisture: do not regularly quantitative, if six or seven centimeters of soil layer, then the surface two centimeters dry can be watered, that is, the bottom soil has four or five percent of moisture, too dry to hurt the roots, too wet to retting roots, if not sure, then usually insert a toothpick in it, always master the soil humidity. Winter watering can be done at noon in sunny weather, evening or early morning watering in spring and autumn, when the sun comes out, the soil is relatively dry, avoid too heavy humidity, control water in summer, and water supply can be done in the evening of cool sunny weather. About this, everyone is different, even personally saw the ancestral teacher of Jinan at the end of June at noon in the greenhouse with water to fill Mars rabbit, even if this thing does not sleep badly in summer, but also enough to surprise people, perhaps skilled people bold bar

6, ventilation: pay attention to ventilation, avoid high temperature and high humidity and low temperature and high humidity at the same time.

Method for cultivating succulent plants of cactus family

Cactus plants are easy to reproduce, can be seeded, cut or grafted, most cultivated as ornamental, but in Mexico and Central and South America as a cash crop cultivation, rich in nutrients and vitamins, can be used as fruit, young stems can be used as vegetables or preserved

1. Watering: Terrestrial cacti have obvious growth period and dormancy period, watering during growth period, watering less or no watering during dormancy period. For epiphytes, the winter temperature should be kept above 12℃, and watering and spraying can be carried out all the year round; the winter temperature should be kept below 12℃, watering can be reduced and spraying can be stopped as appropriate. When watering, master such principles: "dry and thoroughly watered, not dry and not watered"; the water temperature should be close to the soil temperature as much as possible, watering early (before sunrise) and late (after sunset) in summer, watering from 10 to 11 am in winter; and pouring water directly into the pot soil, otherwise it will affect the beauty of the thorn. In addition, water should be sprayed on the ground in summer to increase air humidity.

2, fertilization: fertilization master such principles: timely, appropriate, see the object. Fertilization in spring and autumn, fertilization once every 20 days, should be selected in the sunny morning or evening, if the pot soil is relatively dry, sprinkle water in the pot soil and then fertilize, the concentration of 0.05%~0.2% is appropriate, the next morning irrigation once permeable, the effect is better. Terrestrial type fertilizer requires rich potassium, phosphorus, less nitrogen fertilizer, epiphytic type requires more nitrogen fertilizer.

3. Light: Terrestrial type prefers sufficient sunshine, especially in winter. Generally tall cylindrical and flat cacti are more resistant to strong light, summer can be placed outdoors without shade; smaller spherical types are more fond of semi-shade conditions in summer, in the summer high temperature season in June to August in the top growth point and around, covered with a circular plastic film, so that all parts of the ball grow evenly. Epiphytic cacti require semi-shade conditions all year round.

4. Temperature: The optimum temperature for cactus growth is between 20 and 35℃. Terrestrial type does not require too high temperature during winter dormancy, and can maintain the temperature at 4~7℃ while keeping the pot soil dry. The epiphytic type requires higher temperatures in winter, preferably 10 - 13℃ or higher. Summer reached 30~35℃, most of the cactus growth rate slowed down, and sometimes some species of stems will turn yellow or burned, at this time must be shaded and more water to the ground to reduce the temperature.

5, air: cactus flowers are mostly native to the desert open areas, good ventilation, fresh air. Therefore, in the hot summer weather, should do a good job in the cultivation of ventilation and cooling work. Cultivation greenhouse should choose in the air circulation environment, and more windows, skylights and other vents, so that the summer weather ventilation. If necessary, exhaust fans, blowers or electric fans can also be installed to enhance the air circulation effect of the environment to promote the safety of cacti flowers in summer.
