What are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of succulent Guanyinlian in "Jingtian Family"? What if the leaves are drooping and yellowing?

The succulent plant, also known as long-growing grass, Guanyin lotus and Buddha lotus, is one of the most common succulent plants, which can be called the king of general goods. Guanyin lotus leaf shape is peculiar, the leaf vein is clear and unique, more shade-resistant, more suitable for indoor layout. Can be arranged in scattered light windowsill, corner flower rack, coffee table, dining table, desk, that Guanyinlian breeding methods and matters needing attention? What if the leaves are drooping and yellowing?

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Guanyinlian

1. Soil selection for Guanyinlian culture

Guanyinlian does not have high requirements for soil, but it is suitable for fertile and loose sandy loam. It can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, coarse sand and vermiculite at the proportion of 2:1:1, and a small amount of plant ash and bone powder are added as base fertilizer.

II. Fertilization methods for Guanyinlian culture

In the spring and autumn growing season, Guanyin lotus can apply mature thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium every 10 days. Fertilizer and water should be light rather than thick, too much is easy to cause fertilizer damage. The content of nitrogen fertilizer in compound fertilizer should not be too much, too much is easy to make the plant grow too much.

According to the growth situation of Guanyinlian, dilute liquid fertilizer is applied once or twice a month, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is added to make the stem of the plant erect and grow healthily. at the same time, it is beneficial to the growth and enrichment of Guanyinlian underground tubers and cold resistance in winter. Foliar fertilizer is sprayed every half month, and organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is applied once every two months. More nitrogen fertilizer can promote the appearance of leaves. When fertilizing Guanyinlian, use a thin-nozzle spray pot to slowly irrigate along the basin mouth, do not splash the fat liquid on the leaves, otherwise it is easy to burn the leaves.

Third, the watering method of Guanyinlian culture

Guanyin lotus likes to be wet and avoid stagnant water. Watering should be "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly". The cultivation of Guanyin lotus needs to keep the soil moist all the time. Drought will make the plant grow slowly, the leaf color is dim and lack of vitality, so it should be watered frequently. But at the same time, attention should be paid to prevent excessive water from causing stagnant water in the basin and causing root rot, so it is necessary to strengthen the drainage function of the cultivation medium. In order to prevent stagnant water, it can be considered to put a layer of coarse sand on the basin bottom as a drainage layer, so that the excess water can be discharged as soon as possible. When drying at high temperature, it is necessary to spray water to the surrounding environment and foliage to moisturize, which can make its growth more exuberant. Watering should be reduced in winter.

Guanyin lotus basin soil should be dry, not too much water, in order to prevent rotting roots. Indoor cultivation should be kept warm and humid, room temperature above 18 ℃, plants can grow normally, often spray plants, keep the environment moist, in order to facilitate plant growth.

In the spring and summer growing season, in order to maintain a high air humidity, in addition to normal watering, you can spray water to the air and the ground around the plant. The air in the air-conditioned room is relatively dry and should not be placed for viewing for a long time. When the potted soil is dry, the leaves are easy to soften and droop.

Temperature requirements for Guanyinlian culture

Guanyin lotus likes to be cool and more resistant to cold. Spring and autumn are the main growing periods, while summer and winter are mainly dormant periods. When it is hot in summer, it is easy to cause Guanyinlian plant rot because of stuffy heat and dampness. it should be shaded properly, improve ventilation conditions, take cooling measures, and make the basin soil moderately dry. In winter, Guanyinlian can continue to grow and maintain normally when the temperature is more than 15 ℃ during the day and 5 ℃ at night, while at lower temperature, if watering can be controlled, it can also withstand the low temperature of 2 ℃.

The leaves below 20 ℃ are dormant, the overwintering temperature is generally above 15 ℃, and the leaves below 10 ℃ will suffer frost injury until withering, so they should be planted indoors in winter.

5. Lighting requirements of Guanyinlian culture

There should be plenty of sunshine. It is best to cultivate in the outdoor sun all the time, and plenty of sunshine is needed during the growing period. If you can ensure sufficient sunshine, the plant shape is compact, the leaves are thick and plump, and the leaves are beautiful. Although it can grow normally in semi-shade, the ornamental value is greatly affected, and many varieties are prone to the phenomenon of loose plant shape and not compact enough. Summer to avoid hot sun exposure, the need for appropriate shade.

Guanyinlian has strong negative tolerance and is suitable for growing under shaded scattered light. Avoid direct sunlight. Generally, it should be shaded in summer and autumn, otherwise the leaves are rough and gray, and sometimes burn spots occur, but it is better to shine more sunshine in winter.

VI. Four Seasons Management of Guanyinlian Culture

1. Spring management

Change the basin when the temperature is stable above 15 ℃ in spring. When changing the basin of the dormant Guanyinlian in winter, first remove the dormant tuber from the basin, cut off the rotten root system on the dormant tuber, plant it in the basin, the planting depth is about 2 cm of covered soil, properly watered (water should not be too much, in order to wet for the degree). Wait for the leaves to be unearthed before fully watering. The non-dormant Guanyin lotus in winter can cut off some of the old leaves when changing pots.

The growing season of Guanyin lotus is half-overcast and afraid of bright light. Can be placed all the year round in the room with bright scattered light to watch. The basin soil is dry after changing the basin in spring, and the basin soil can be gradually watered until the new leaves are unearthed. If the indoor air humidity is low, can not meet its requirements for air humidity, the leaves are easy to lose gloss and gray-green, affecting beauty, should be around it and leaves spray water several times a day.

When the outdoor temperature is stable above 20 ℃, the Guanyin lotus can also be moved to the semi-Yin balcony for cultivation. When the temperature is high at the end of spring, the soil should be kept moist and fertilized properly. When the plant cluster is dense, some of the old leaves can be cut off to promote the growth of new leaves.

2. Summer management

Guanyin lotus likes the environment of high temperature and humidity, and summer is its peak growing season. It should keep the soil humid and pay attention to replenish the indoor air humidity when it is placed indoors. Apply enough fertilizer. Guanyinlian is not suitable for air-conditioned rooms.

3. Autumn management

After the autumn temperature is cool, it can be gradually moved to a place with morning and evening light to cultivate, keep the basin soil moist, and spray water around it and leaves several times a day. Stop fertilizing.

As the temperature drops at the end of autumn, the water supply should be gradually reduced to make the basin soil dry. When the temperature dropped below 15 ℃, the aboveground part wilted gradually and went into dormancy. If the indoor temperature can be kept above 18 ℃ in autumn and winter, Guanyin lotus can grow slowly without dormancy.

4. Winter management

Guanyinlian is not tolerant to low temperature and the tubers are dormant when the temperature is low in winter. Pot plants should be placed above 10 ℃ indoor for overwintering. The basin soil should be kept dry but not dry. when the humidity of the basin soil is high, the tuber is easy to rot.

If the indoor temperature is kept above 18 ℃, Guanyinlian is not dormant and still ornamental, it should be arranged on the windowsill with morning and evening light, keep the basin soil moist, and often spray around its leaves to improve air humidity. Especially when indoor air conditioners are used, more attention should be paid to the supplement of air humidity.

VII. matters needing attention in Guanyinlian culture

The main results are as follows: 1. Guanyinlian has higher requirements for fertilizer, and it should be fertilized every 10 to 15 days in the growing season, and it is better to use organic fertilizer or ternary compound fertilizer alternately, and more nitrogen should be applied in the growing season to promote the beauty of leaves.

2. The suitable temperature for the growth of Guanyinlian is 20 ℃ ~ 26 ℃, and it is dormant when it is lower than 20 ℃. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause plant death. Spring and summer, exuberant growth, requires high air humidity, if you can sprinkle water on the ground or spray foliar, the growth is better. Guanyinlian can survive the winter naturally in the tropics. In subtropical and temperate regions, due to the low temperature in winter, greenhouse should be placed to keep warm and overwintering. Attention should be paid to controlling the amount of water in winter, as long as the leaves are not in a soft sagging shape.

3. Guanyinlian is carried out more than in spring, and the basin soil requires rotten leaf soil or sandy loam with good drainage and rich in organic matter. The basin change should be carried out in late winter and early spring.

4. Guanyinlian is vulnerable to aphids. It can be sprayed with 40% dimethoate or 50% malathion EC 1000-1500 times, or 1500 times 80% dichlorvos EC.

5. Guanyin lotus grows well in warm, humid and semi-shady environment. Summer and autumn should be placed in a shady place, such as a Reed curtain or tree shade, to avoid direct sunlight. Plant growth requires high air humidity, humid climate conditions are conducive to plant growth and leaf moist, if the environment is too dry, easy to cause leaf scorched edge, affecting the beauty of the plant; the air relative temperature of 60% 80% is appropriate, Guanyinlian at 15 ℃, growth stagnant, into dormancy.

6. Guanyinlian can be fertilized once every 15 days during the growing period from May to October, and the thin fertilizer solution is safer. In winter, it is better to keep sufficient light, good ventilation, strict control of watering and slightly dry basin soil. Indoor cultivation in winter should prevent high temperature and stuffy heat or poor ventilation to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. Stop fertilizing in winter.

Guanyinlian is a very beautiful plant, blooming like a lotus. But if you don't raise it well, there will be the phenomenon of sagging and yellowing, so what should you do?

What is the reason why Guanyin lotus turns yellow or droop?

1. Irrigate "half of the water", that is, the watering is not thorough, and there is no water seepage at the bottom of the basin.

2. The root system has been frostbitten when it is cold in winter.

3, after the winter, eager to go out of the room, put in a warm place to bask in the sun, temporarily unable to adapt to the abrupt climate.

4. The basin soil has been too wet or too dry for a long time.

5. Put it in the environment of poor ventilation for a long time.

6. The leaves were not cleaned with water for a long time, and dust accumulated, which hindered photosynthesis.

What if the Guanyin lotus turns yellow?

Don't water too much, or as soon as the temperature goes up, the whole plant will begin to rot. Watering as little as possible, it doesn't matter if the leaves at the bottom turn yellow. Metabolism, I think the leaves growing under less water are stronger, and it's not easy to yellowing in the future. If there is more water, the leaves will flatten out and stretch out. If the water is controlled, these leaves will easily turn yellow. If there is less water, the leaves will stand up and the color will be darker.

What if the leaves of Guanyin lotus droop and turn black?

Guanyin lotus leaves drooping should often bask in the sun, of course, not exposure, watering twice a week is enough, do not water too much. The temperature difference between day and night is generally beneficial to the growth of Guanyin lotus leaves, because plants carry out photosynthesis and respiration during the day, but only respiration at night, and a large temperature difference helps to reduce consumption. Drooping and blackening is just the opposite. So it may also be caused by excessive consumption of organic matter at night. Guanyinlian prefers a sunny, cool and dry environment, which is an alpine succulent plant. It is dormant when it is hot in summer and cold in winter. The main growth period is in the cooler spring and autumn seasons, and sufficient sunlight is required in the growing season. If insufficient light will lead to loose plant shape, not compact, affecting its ornamental, while plants growing in sufficient light, the leaves are fat and full, compact and beautiful. So it shouldn't be a matter of lighting. Too much watering causes stagnant water and makes the roots unable to breathe. It may also be due to poor root growth caused by transplanting, unable to absorb water.

What is the reason why the leaves of Guanyin lotus are rotten? How to solve the problem?

The rotten Guanyin lotus is mainly caused by poor ventilation and too much water. First of all, see if the stem is rotten, if it is not rotten, wash the stem, dry it in the shade, plant it in clean sand, pour enough water, put it in a shady and ventilated place, and grow new buds a month later.
