Culture methods and matters needing attention of touching incense

As for the breeding methods, we explain them one by one from the conservation of the environment, watering and soil, so that flower friends can understand that it is easy to touch incense (less watering, more sun exposure), and flower friends do not have to worry.

1) Conservation environment: touch incense like sunny environment, fleshy leaves will be thick under strong light, leaves will become flat and thin when lack of light, step by step when receiving strong light, touch incense is not hardy, the lowest temperature in winter can not be lower than 10 ℃. In addition, the environment should be well ventilated, such as poor ventilation in the office building, it is difficult to maintain, so the ventilated environment is very important.

2) soil: it is better to use loose, breathable and fertile soil, such as nutritious soil, peat soil and so on.

3) watering: because touching incense is not resistant to water and moisture (stagnant water), it is necessary to comprehensively judge the frequency of watering according to the environment and soil, and must not make the basin wet all day, preferring less watering than more watering. Control watering less in cloudy and muggy days, which can easily lead to long-term stagnant water.

4) Propagation: it is easy to cuttage and can take root in about 20 days.

There are basically only a few key points about the breeding methods of touching incense, such as good ventilation, good lighting, not more watering, less movement, as long as you remember these points on OK!

Note:

1) watering can not be too much: if the water permeability of the basin soil is good, then watering can be freer, watering thoroughly is fine. When the soil is dry, you must not think about watering all the time. This will lead to rotten roots and yellow leaves. Many flower friends touch incense because the water is so rotten that the roots eventually die.

2) pay attention to cold prevention: touch incense is not cold-resistant, and there are signs of dormancy in winter. if the winter temperature is below minus 10 ℃, cold prevention measures must be taken, and proper water control should be taken to increase drought resistance.

3) about the fragrance: when touching the incense, the fragrance will be more intense, usually only a faint fragrance, if you want the fragrance strong, need enough light, less watering.

Reproduction method

It is easy to cultivate and suitable for potted plants. I like sunny surroundings. Watering and fertilizing should be reduced or stopped on cloudy days. Because there are so many branches and grow in a horizontal plane, the spacing of the plant should be wide in order to stretch the branches and leaves. It is appropriate to pad the flowerpot under the pot to prevent the branches on the edge of the pot from touching the flower rack. It is propagated by sowing, cutting and ramet.

The propagation by cutting method can take root in about 20 days, and can be transplanted in a small flowerpot after rooting. It's easy to grow.

1. Cuttage: touch the lowest end of incense cuttings to cut a bevel, then put it in a ventilated and cool place for a week, you can see the wound shrinks at the bottom of the branch, and then the cutting will not rot. Then insert the touch incense cuttings in sand or sterilized soil with high perlite content (mold will rot in the soil).

2. Management: after touching the incense and inserting it, pour it through the water once, and then it will be ventilated, with light but not in a direct place. From then on, don't water it, just wait for the soil to dry, spray some moisture around the flowerpot sooner or later, and increase the air humidity in summer. Hold on like this for half a month to a month, and it is estimated that the root will come out.

Is touching incense poisonous?
