Cool as a flower of water, we must choose it in summer!

In other words, the biggest difference between plants and human beings is that human beings like to live in roofed houses and do not like the wind and rain. In order to have a place to protect themselves from the wind and rain, human beings can struggle all their lives, not to mention so many joys and sorrows.

Plants, on the contrary, like to be exposed to the wind and rain in the sun, even if they are drenched in the sun, and they feel uncomfortable when they are indoors.

Therefore, there are not many plants that can adapt to indoor for a long time. In addition to common varieties such as orchid and green pineapple, there is also a beautiful foliage plant called cold water flower.

Cold water flowers, Urticaceae plants, also known as: transparent grass, transparent grass, aluminum leaf grass, snow grass … It is more common in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cold water is a foliage plant, the plant is small and elegant, the leaves are green and white, the pattern is beautiful and chic.

It will also blossom, in June and July, but the flower shape is not beautiful, basically negligible.

The biggest advantage of cold splash is shade resistance, suitable for long-term indoor, super vitality.

As a black finger, I can rarely cut alive things, and even the survival rate of rose is not high. But in the cold water, I cut in a job.

The branches of the cold spray are very soft and grow to a certain height. If they are not pruned, they will crawl. In order to make the flowerpot compact and refreshing, pruning, it is necessary to do homework for raising cold spray.

The cold water flowers grow to about a foot high, and when the branches begin to tilt, they can be pruned.

If the cut branches are in spring, summer and autumn, they can be used for cutting.

For example, the branch cut in the picture is relatively long, with eight nodes. So. Can be cut into two, cut into two, each section can be used for cutting.

There are more leaves in the upper part of the cut, so you can cut the lower leaves and bury the lower two nodes in the soil.

Why bury the nodes in the earth? Because the node is easy to sprout and root, the cuttage is easy to live.

In order to test the effect, and because there are more branches cut, I found three pots for cutting, and the media of the three pots are all different, one is general-purpose fine sand, one is nutritious soil, and the other is not very loose garden soil.

Then, put it on the shady north balcony.

In the first week, the branches and leaves of the cuttings were stretched and listless because of the scars all over the body.

Half a month later, the remaining leaves straightened up and shoots began to appear at the nodes of the branches.

According to the test results, no matter what kind of soil is used to cut, the cold water with a good temper can survive. Moreover, no matter what kind of soil, the growth rate is the same, there is no discrimination.

By the way. The cuttings I cut at more than ten degrees and more than 30 degrees can all survive, only under one condition, in a cool place.

Cold spray likes the warm and humid environment, Xi Yang, but afraid of strong light, is a better balcony layout plant, can be long-term layout in scattered light on the tea table, flower rack.

My experience is that you can keep it indoors for a week, then put it in a cool and ventilated place for two days, and then bring it back indoors.

Cold water does not have a high demand for fertilizer, just feed a little compound fertilizer every month. It doesn't matter if you don't feed it. You can talk well.

Cold spray diseases and insect pests are very few, as long as the conservation environment is not suitable, basically there will not be rotten roots and yellow leaves, insect pests only beetles, so maintenance is very convenient.
