The weather turned warmer in April, and succulent plants reached the golden season of the year. The plants without turning pot can be turned over, changed soil, and propagated separately. Indoor plants can be gradually moved outside, exposed to the sun and bathed by the spring breeze. In case of continuous overcast and rainy weather, we should pay attention to prevent long-term rain, so as not to cause plant rot due to low temperature and humidity.

To crassulaceae: Jade butterfly, black prince, star beauty, Wasong, Zi Zhi Lianhua; tequila: Huishan, Princess Lei, Lai Guangjin, auspicious sky; Cactaceae: Golden peony, rock peony, silver hair ball; Euphorbiaceae: Gui Qingyu, Jiutoulong, Bei Xin Qilin Pinus chinensis belongs to Apocynaceae: Guangtang, desert roses and "summer type" succulent plants represented by Mexican tortoise shell dragons and purslane trees begin to accelerate their growth, which can be gradually moved outdoors and exposed to sunlight, and plants without turning pots can be turned over to change soil, and combined with changing pots for split propagation.

In Amygdalaceae, the growth rate of "winter type" succulent plants, such as stone flower, fleshy cone, Ayakayama, major general, Xindongni, bear boy, jade Toona, Toona sinensis, drifting island, spring grass, hairy leaf spring grass, broad-leaf spring grass, and South African tortoise shell dragons, gradually slowed down or even stopped. On the other hand, epiphytic cactus plants such as crab claw orchid and ape love Reed, such as Zhaobo and Longbeard Begonia, are not highly fleshy, and most species of sedum such as sunset geese and stone lotus: Loach palm of Compositae, green bell and "intermediate" succulent plants such as aloe and lying cattle are in peak growing season.

The management of all kinds of succulent plants should be carried out according to different species and specific climate. For example, in some areas, it is cloudy and rainy for a long time, we should pay attention to control watering to prevent the excessive growth of succulent plants in the case of lack of sunlight, while in some areas, we should pay attention to the sudden rise in temperature and the strong light, resulting in succulent plants that have just slowed down or just moved out to accept succulent sunburn.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that April is also the month when insect pests begin to sprout. if the light is too strong after spraying, it is easy to cause drug injury. conditional flower friends can first put it in a bright place with no direct light for two or three days after spraying.

Watering: in April, the fast-growing succulent plant varieties can be watered more, while the slow-growing varieties should be watered less. in short, it is necessary to meet the water needs of plant growth without stagnant water, and for growing plants to "keep the soil moist, but without stagnant water" is the best choice. The watering time is generally in the morning or evening when the weather is sunny. If you water the flowers with tap water, you can dry them for 2 to 3 days and then use them, so that the chlorine in the water can be volatilized, which is beneficial to the growth of succulent plants. When watering, you can put a small amount of fertilizer dissolved in the water, increase the nutritional sources of succulent plants, and accelerate their growth.

Fertilization: fertiliser can be applied to the growing succulent plants in April. The fertilization of succulent plants can be divided into two categories: basal fertilizer and topdressing fertilizer. base fertilizer is generally directly mixed into the soil when planting, such as plant ash, bone powder, shell powder, mature livestock manure, cake fertilizer, etc., in addition, there are some synthetic slow-release granular fertilizers, which can be put on the surface of basin soil to slowly release nutrients for plant absorption, clean and hygienic, with better effect. It can be used for medium and high-grade succulent plants such as Vientiane, jade fan, raw stone flower and so on. Topdressing should be carried out according to different varieties and growth periods. Do not fertilize the newly planted plants for a month, nor do the weaker plants. For most succulent plants, fertilizer can be applied every semimonthly, slow-growing varieties can be applied once a month, and some very slow-growing varieties do not even need to be fertilized. Do not water a few days before fertilization, wait for the basin soil to be basically dry, first loosen the soil in the first day, and then fertilize the next day, in order to facilitate the absorption of plant roots.

Except for some varieties such as leaf fairy, the osmotic pressure of the roots of most succulent plants is very low, so the concentration of fertilizer solution must not be too high. The type of fertilizer should vary according to the variety and growth stage of the plant. In general, plants with small seedling stage, succulent leaves and green leaves can apply a little more nitrogen fertilizer, while those in flower bud differentiation stage, flowering and fruiting stage, spherical and columnar plants, red, yellow or other non-green leaves should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. stem succulent plants should apply more potassium fertilizer.

The organic fertilizer used can choose bean cake, sesame cake, chicken, pigeon dung, bone meal, etc., no matter what kind of fertilizer should be fully mature and diluted with water before it can be used. Urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and calcium superphosphate in inorganic fertilizers and various compound fertilizers sold in the market and special fertilizers for family flower cultivation can also be used when the plant growth is exuberant, but the concentration should be low and the number of times should be less, otherwise it will cause soil consolidation and affect plant growth. on the contrary, the loss outweighs the gain. However, uncooked eggshells, soybean milk, fresh milk, as well as salty broth and bones cannot be used. Be careful not to spill the fertilizer on the plant when fertilizing.

In April, excessive succulent plants can be made into bonsai or combination platters when changing pots, so as to improve the ornamental value. it has the characteristics of fast forming, simple processing and easy maintenance, which is very suitable for family production.
