Thick-skinned breeding methods and matters needing attention

Thick skin is a kind of crassulaceae rooting plant, which has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, clearing heat and detoxification. Thick skin is distributed in Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. What are the cheeky breeding methods and matters needing attention?

First, the thick-skinned breeding method

1. Soil: thick skin has strong adaptability, and the requirement of soil is not high. The mixture of 3 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of sandy soil can be used as culture medium.

two。 Watering: the number of times of watering during the peak growth period should be slightly more, always keep the basin soil moist, but can not accumulate water. The temperature drops in autumn and winter, reduce watering and prevent frost damage.

3. Lighting: thick skin likes sufficient light, so try to put thick skin on the balcony for photosynthesis. But you should be careful not to be completely exposed to the sun, to avoid direct sunlight and to prevent burns.

4. Fertilization: fertilize once a month during the growing period. When the stem and leaf grow too high, the heart should be removed and the plant shape should be lowered to promote its multiple branches. Update and change the basin every spring to keep the plant in a beautiful state.

5. Diseases and insect pests: thick skin is mainly harmful to gray mold and powdery mildew, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of methyl topiramate wettable powder. Insect pests are harmful to scale insects and aphids and are sprayed with 1000 times of 40% dimethoate EC.

6. Pruning: in order to allow thick skin to flourish branches and leaves and grow healthily at the same time, when we prune, it is best to keep the original shape, only for the branches and leaves of old yellow. Don't prune too much at one time, which will damage the cheeky plants.

II. Matters needing attention to be cheeky

1. Heart-picking: for the thick-skinned seedlings in the new pot, the heart should be picked in time to promote branching; for the older plants, the stem is semi-lignified, detached, curved and not erect, and the ornamental value is reduced, so it should be cut short to sprout new branches.

two。 Change the basin: leave some old soil when you change the basin for the thick skin, and then add some fresh soil.

Thick-skinned plants do not have high requirements for the living environment, often appear in inconspicuous places, such as roadside hillsides, basically at the foot of the foot is not easy to pay attention to.
