What kind of soil do Buddha beads use to raise?

Buddha beads are plants belonging to the Compositae family, which are native to South Africa. The stem hangs or grows on creeping soil, so it is often cultivated as a hanging basin plant. So what kind of soil do Buddha beads use?

1. What kind of soil do Buddha beads use to raise

Choose breathable and loose soil, humus soil, garden soil, river sand, fire crumbs, barnyard manure mixed soil can be selected as cultivation soil, and some mature chicken manure can be fully stirred when potting. A small amount of cinder can also be laid on the top of the soil to make the soil better permeable.

2. Cultivation techniques of Buddha beads

The growing period of the plant is from March to December every year, and there is a short semi-dormancy in summer. if the light is insufficient, the plant is easy to grow, the stem becomes fragile, and the distance between leaves will be very long. For plants growing in sunny places, the stolons of plant type are stout, the leaves are full, and the spacing between leaves is relatively close.

During the growing period, it is necessary to keep the soil slightly wet and avoid stagnant water. Soil can be mixed with cinder peat, a small amount of perlite, the proportion is about 6:3:1. In the case of dry basin soil, it can withstand a low temperature of about minus 2 degrees Celsius, which is indoor temperature, not open air. The water is basically cut off throughout the winter, and the water should be cut off slowly below 5 degrees, and keep it above 0 degrees as far as possible in winter, otherwise the plants are prone to frostbite or death if the temperature is too low.

When the summer temperature exceeds 35 ℃, the whole plant will grow slowly. At this time, watering should be reduced to prevent root rot caused by excessive moisture in the basin soil. And strengthen ventilation, proper shading to avoid hot sun exposure.

Long-term rain should be avoided in cultivation. Buddha beads grow relatively fast, change the basin once every two years, and change the basin before the first watering in early spring. Buddha beads grow many branches.

Buddha beads flowers have two colors, one is white, which is more common, and the other is brown, which is not very common.
