Succulent plant-- small ball rose

Small ball rose is a succulent plant of Rhodiola, also known as Rhodiola. Little Pearl Rose has a subtle and subtle appearance. Strong cold resistance, strong drought resistance, strong reproductive ability. Suitable for protecting lawns or turfgrasses. Under the conditions of high temperature and sunshine, the color of the leaves will be more bright and ruddy.

Morphological features:

Creeping perennial herb. It's easy to have a new branch, and it's easy to become a student group. Stems and leaves are usually purplish red in autumn and winter or in fuchsia and warm environments.

Stem

The adult stem is about 5-15 cm long. Smooth, glabrous, occasionally with verrucous spots.

Leaf

Leaf surface glabrous; bamboo to Obovate or orbicular, cuneate, leaf margin rounded-serrate; opposite, occasionally alternate; petiole absent or shortly stationary. A single leaf is about 1.5-3.5 cm long and 1-1.2 cm wide.

Inflorescence

Flowers creeping or erect, with verrucous spots on the surface. It is usually about 10 to 30 centimeters long. Inflorescences cymose, usually divided into 3-5 branches, each with about 15-30 flowers. Bracts lanceolate or elliptic, with verrucous processes.

Flowers

Usually five-merous, occasionally six-merous; almost sessile or shortly pedicellate; sepals 1 cm long, triangular-shaped, obtuse, obtuse to apical. Petals erect, usually extending upward at base, ca. Elliptic, short and pointed, slightly curved at tip, raised, ca. 0.7-1.2 cm long, pure white to dark red. The anther is red.

Maintenance method:

Lighting: small balls are warm, dry and sunny, so give them enough light. If there is not enough light and too much water, it will lead to the growth of bulbous roses (elongation of stems and stems, spread of leaves, and changes in green). Sufficient light and temperature differences will make the stems and leaves of the bulb dark red, and the plant type will remain very compact and beautiful, no less than roses.

Basin soil: the basin soil is as loose and permeable as possible. Beginners recommend the use of a breathable can, such as a clay pot or a pot with a hole in the bottom, to avoid decay caused by water deposition.

Reference soil: peat + vermiculite + perlite, 1:1:1 configuration (can also be used for relatively expensive perlite and volcanic rocks instead of vermiculite and perlite). Perlite and vermiculite will lead to soil compaction due to the pulverization of vermiculite, resulting in the decrease of soil permeability. Therefore, it is recommended that the soil be changed once a year.

Watering: spring, autumn and winter, watering can be done without watering. Proper control of watering frequency helps to maintain bright colors and compact plant types. In summer, plants should be kept in a cool place to avoid sunburn. Water should be watered at low temperature at night or at night. When the temperature is higher than 30 ℃ or lower than 5 ℃, the watering frequency should be reduced or even the water should be stopped until the temperature is restored.

Breeding methods:

The method of cutting cuttings is usually chosen. With the growth of the bulbous rose, the shedding of the basal leaves will make the stem grow, and the branches can be pruned to promote its branching and growth. Cut branches can be used to cut, and it is easy to live. Try to avoid cold winters during the breeding season.

Due to different specific planting areas, attention should be paid to local conditions and local climatic conditions (humidity, temperature, etc.).
