-maintenance-

The succulent plant of the genus Twelve has a characteristic-radish root.

Let's take a look at the comparison picture first.

Isn't it obvious?

Even the new roots are chubby and watery, just like the roots of radish.

The advantage of this kind of root system is that it has a strong water storage capacity and is always rich in storage for a rainy day. Next, let's start the maintenance problem around the root system.

1-watering

In spring and autumn, it is recommended to slowly feed water and soak into the soil when the substrate is semi-dry. Watering too much will only grow, and the whole plant shape will spread out and cannot recover, so you can only wait for the overgrown leaves to be consumed.

It's all right to spray, but it looks better!

The grown jade dew

Avoid watering through the high temperature in summer, just supply water slowly. There is a friend who does not water, sooner or later spray water, but also make the jade dew fat and transparent, growing gratifying. If you want to raise it, use it as appropriate.

These are the jade dew she raised, and they are all very fat and beautiful.

2-stuffy

What is puffy? Cover the jade dew with a transparent plastic bag or cup in spring and autumn and breathe for 2-3 days.

The performance of muggy success: dewdrops appear on the wall of the cup

Under the condition of high humidity, the jade dew will grow fatter and the windows will be more transparent.

But do not put in the sun, otherwise the dewdrops on the wall of the cup will form specular reflection to cause sunburn, put in astigmatism is enough.

Be careful! Summer can not be stuffy, the temperature is too high, too much.

3-matching soil

7:3 ratio, 7 parts of soft particles, 3 parts of peat soil, mixed with a little rice husk carbon, sterilization.

Why use soft particles?

For example, is it comfortable for a fat man to sit on a soft sofa or eat on a hard board? In order to enable the granular soil to achieve good permeability, water retention and drainage, without cutting its roots, soft particles stand out!

Soft particles: the preferred red jade soil, deer marsh soil, the size of 1~3mm, too large is not conducive to root water absorption.

4-Rizhao

Jade dew bogey strong light (the color will turn gray), astigmatism or put behind the window are quite suitable, the right amount of light jade dew color will be richer.

The summer light in the south can not be exposed directly, and exposure needs shade, otherwise it will shrivel and experience it.

5-suitable temperature

The suitable growth temperature is 18 ℃ ~ 22 ℃, it can grow at 30 degrees, and it may dormancy when it is lower than 5 ℃ or higher than 40 ℃, but this kind of situation may not happen indoors, so it is suitable for raising Yulu.

6-change the basin

Summer start Yulu suggest to buy with basin delivery, do not change the basin, because changing the basin will certainly hurt the root, for the novice to maintain the root system also needs time, wait until the appropriate temperature in autumn to change the basin.

The choice of basin: Vientiane basin is the best. The root system of jade dew is deep, the length of 10~15cm is more suitable, how big jade dew uses how big basin, avoid small meat to put big basin, water improper easy to rot root.

Vientiane basin

Detailed explanation of basin change steps

1. Take off the soil and shake off the soil on the root system.

2. Trim the roots and cut off the roots that do not grow small roots, because they can no longer absorb water.

3. Put on the basin and choose the right position.

4. Place the basin in a cool and ventilated place for about 1 to 2 weeks, with a little water spray during the period.

The performance of the basin: the heart of the leaf begins to turn green and grow new leaves.

7-flowering

Yulu blossoms 2 or 3 times a year, and the flowers are relatively small. if you are not going to leave seeds, it is better to pull out the foil for the sake of beauty.

-Collection of questions-

Q1: what if Yulu doesn't take the basin for a long time?

A1: it has been withered for several months, but there are no roots. Dig out the jade dew, cut off the broken roots, put it in a cool place to dry the wound, and then put it back on the pot to take root.

Q2: what about the rotten roots of Yulu?

A2: control your hands that like to spray and water! Hurry up to change the jade dew root!

The rotten roots of Yulu will change color

Q3: what if Yulu is sunburned and shriveled?

A3: move it quickly, put it in the astigmatism to recover, and wait patiently.

Q4: what if there is scale in the hard water spray in the north?

Use weakly acidic water to spray. 2. Give up tap water and use mineral water or Rain Water.

Then quietly tell you a little trick, Yulu backlight beat can be called moving crystal, particularly beautiful, but appears gray along the light. If you spray a little more water, you will look terrible!
