Succulent plant-- Little Red clothes

Xiaohongyi is a succulent plant of the genus Euphorbia in Sedum family. Small species are easy to grow in groups, and it is difficult to cultivate in summer. The small leaves of Xiao Hongyi are closely arranged in the shape of a rosette, the leaves are slightly flattened in egg shape, and there are prominent thin wings on both sides of the leaf tip. In strong light, the edge and tip of the leaf will show a beautiful red.

Xiao Hongyi likes cool, dry and sunny environment and sandy soil with good drainage, and is not resistant to water and moisture. There is a high demand for ventilation. It is very difficult to maintain in summer.

Lighting:

The greater the light, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the brighter the leaf color, and the more compact the plant type. When the temperature is right, outdoor maintenance can make the leaves more colorful. When the soil light is insufficient or too long, the whole plant is light green, and the leaves are arranged loosely, which seriously affect the ornamental, and may even be killed by plant photosynthesis. In summer, it needs to be placed in a slightly cloudy and scattered area to avoid burns.

Water content:

Because of the high water content in plants, Little Red clothes are easy to blacken and rot under high temperature and humidity (especially in summer). Not too much water. In order to avoid water precipitation in the roots, it is best to choose a pool with a bottom drain hole and red pottery with good air permeability in the south.

Reference water: pour water at least once a day for at least 10 days. According to the climate differences of different regions and seasons, the water frequency can be increased or decreased. Water is better suspended in summer or rainy season.

Soil:

Should be cultivated in sandy soil, good drainage, good air permeability, easy to remove excess water and plant root growth; the ratio of rotten soil (or peat soil), sandy soil and vegetable garden soil can be prepared according to the ratio of soil or peat soil.

Appropriate amount of vermiculite, perlite, blue stone, tung sand, red jade soil and deer marsh soil can also be added to the soil. If the basin is changed every 1 ~ 2 years in spring, the necrotic old root can be cut off.

Temperature:

In winter and summer (more than 35 ℃) or too low (below 5 ℃), the rate of plant growth retarding should be properly reduced or stopped, and the water frequency should be restored at a suitable temperature.

Cultivation techniques:

Usually, dry leaves should be removed in time to avoid the accumulation of bacteria. The plant can cut off the growth point at the top to keep the plant type beautiful. The top of the cutting tip can take root in the sand tide and become a new plant after drying. Stems and branches can sprout more lateral buds at the bottom.

Diseases and insect pests:

The diseases and insect pests of Little Red are mainly shell insects. Early pests are common in roots or plant leaves. The results show that immediately after the occurrence of pests, pests need to be isolated from other plants and their size roots should be cut off, and the roots of plants can be sprayed or killed in the affected areas (for example, fungicides such as chlorothalonil and carbendazim do not have I). The efficacy of killing drugs. It may take several cycles to kill the bug completely. Control measures can be mixed with a small amount of carbofuran or soil insects in the soil.

The main disease is the black rot of plants (that is, plants are partially black and rotten, mostly in the roots), mainly in summer, usually due to poor ventilation and high humidity and high temperature, but sometimes may be caused by beetles. After discovery, it needs to be quickly separated from other plants, and the decaying part can be cut off at the initial stage. Several fungicides (chlorothalonil, carbendazim, etc.) can be used in the incision. After the incision is dry, the root can be re-rooted in the loose sand. If black rot has spread to the growing point of the plant, it can be regarded as death. Discard it as soon as possible to prevent infection. Prevent mixtures of chlorothalonil, carbendazim and other fungicides that can be mixed with soil.
