A wide variety of major generals

Major general, a succulent plant of the genus Amygdaceae, native to South Africa and Namibia. Bilobum means two-leaf ears in Latin, very much in line with the morphological characteristics of the major general. The major general is very fleshy, with flat heart-shaped opposite leaves 3-4.5 cm long and 2-2.5 cm wide, with a saddle-shaped suture at the top, 07-0.9 cm deep, stemless or stemless for a short time, two leaves with obtuse round apex, light green to grayish green at the top, and a reddish tip. The epidermis may feel fine grainy or very smooth, and the old plants are often dense. Most of the flowers are in autumn and open in the middle seam, mostly yellow (different varieties also have other colors), with a diameter of up to 3 cm.

The cultivation points of the major general:

Major general is very easy to grow, the growth period is from winter to early summer, the growth period is almost no wet water, otherwise the epidermis will break, causing ugly scars. Summer enters the dormant period, when plants begin to wither, remember to give the right amount of water, generally even in summer, as long as the right amount of water, the major general will always grow. Generally speaking, it should be ventilated and cool in summer and save water properly, and the light should be soft, but it should be fully visible in winter. The optimum temperature for growth is 18-24 ℃, and the lowest temperature is-2 ℃. The major general grows slowly and can stay in the same basin for a long time without the need to change the basin frequently.

The mode of reproduction of the major general:

It can split and sow seeds.

Ramet: the part of the ramet from the mother plant must have one or more leaves with a small number of roots, but do not divide when the group plant is not too crowded, the group plant is easy to cultivate, and the division and proliferation is faster than that of a single plant.

Sowing and raising seedlings should be extremely patient, and the transplanting time should be from late September to early October. After transplanting with moist soil, put the pot into the seedling box to maintain humidity, only a little spray can not be watered for a period of time, wait to see the obvious growth before watering, otherwise the survival rate of seedling transfer is not high.

Tips for the Major General:

This species and all species of the genus Corydalis are called "living pebbles". They are strange in shape, small and beautiful, and have large and beautiful flowers. Shaojiang is one of the species most prone to morphological changes in succulent plants, some of which may derive different morphological characteristics under different geographical conditions, some of which have been named different names, which can be regarded as a diversified species.
