What are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of succulent plant Zibao? How can the leaves be thick?

Zibao is a common succulent plant, because it looks like Yuanbao, also known as Yuanbao flower, so what are the breeding methods and points for attention of Zibao? How can the leaves be thick?

First, the culture method of Duoshizibao.

1. Land selection and preparation

The best soil is sandy loam with loose fertility and good drainage. The soil is properly applied with stable manure or compost, ploughed and raked flat, generally applied rotten organic fertilizer 1500-2000kg per mu, and then made into a border with a width of 0.8-1m, depending on the topography. Soil that is too wet and sticky is not suitable for planting.

2. Raising seedlings in separate plants

Ramets are propagated in spring (March-April) or autumn and winter (September-November) every year. The seedlings from the tillers around each plant are dug up with roots and cut off the underground stem connected to the mother plant, which can be planted. The bud propagation is to cut the new buds with 5-10cm from the axils of the mother plant and put them in a cool place, 4-5 hours in summer and 1-2 days in winter, waiting for the incision to dry slightly, and cutting on the seedling bed with shade grille. It takes root 20 days after insertion and can be planted in the nursery after 2-3 months.

3. Colonization

It can be planted in spring (March-April) or autumn (September-November), using 10-20cm high split seedlings or interplanting seedlings, the planting distance is 50cm × 50cm or 40cm × 50cm, 2 rows per row and 1 plant per hole. When planting, the root is stretched and the soil is compacted. For example, when the soil is dry, the root needs to be fixed in shallow water, and twigs are used as temporary shade.

4. Field management

Water drainage: water must be drenched when it is hot in summer to keep the soil moist. But should not be too wet, pay attention to the elimination of stagnant water, so as to avoid rotting roots.

Loosening the soil and weeding: weeding and loosening the soil frequently during the growth period, weeding in the rainy season should remove the weeds out of the garden and pile them up for compost. Weeding in the dry season should cover the rhizosphere with weeds removed. Combine loosening or cultivating soil while weeding.

Fertilization: in order to promote plant growth, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time, mainly with mature organic fertilizer combined with chemical fertilizer. Application of chemical fertilizer 3-4 times a year, each time per mu of rotten organic fertilizer 4000-5000kg, mixed urea 6kg, superphosphate 50kg.

II. Matters needing attention in the cultivation of Duoshizibao

1. Watering should pay attention to the principle of not drying but watering thoroughly. In winter, it is even more necessary to control moisture and water more easily. It is especially suggested that the rotten roots of Zibao are not easy to find. Many people who adopt Zibao have this feeling: Zibao on the table looks at it every day. When one day he touched it in his hand, it turned out that it was all rotten inside. It is recommended to water every 20-30 days in summer and 30-40 days in winter.

2. Zibao on the table in the room should pay attention to ventilation and light transmission, and properly take out the outside when there is sunshine in the dark for a long time; winter can be safely overwintered without other protective measures; balcony maintenance can not be exposed to the sun in summer, suitable for bright scattered light, move indoors in winter to prevent freezing.

3. Zibao often has young plants growing from the base, and the plants can be changed according to the growth situation.

Third, how can succulent Zibao keep the leaves thick?

1. Maintain fertile soil and sufficient moisture

If Duoshizibao wants to grow thick, it needs to replenish sufficient nutrients for the long and thick leaves, fertilize the soil, keep the soil dry and keep the soil loose, while the basin soil selection requires a mixture of rotten leaf soil and coarse sand grains. you can spray water to the leaves properly when watering.

2. Pay attention to fertilizing Zibao

If Zibao leaves want to get thicker, they need to maintain adequate nutrition, fertilize Zibao regularly and apply fertilizer once a month during the growing period. Apply some organic fertilizer so that the succulent plant can grow strong.

3. Keep cool and ventilated

Zibao is suitable to grow in a semi-shady place, not in a place where the sun is strong, so that the leaves of Zibao will be sunburned, causing the leaves to become thinner and thinner.

4. Keep the environment warm

In the case of meeting the lighting conditions, Duoshizibao can avoid putting it in the area of direct sunlight as far as possible. Zibao likes warmth, but its cold resistance is still relatively poor. It can be placed in a warm place, keeping the temperature at 16-26 degrees Celsius, and keeping warm in winter. The temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, so that it can grow better.
