The growth, peeling and water supply problems of raw stone flowers

Understanding the growth law of stone flowers in a year is of great help to the cultivation of stone flowers. the following author's stone head summarizes that the growth of stone flowers is a cycle: molting in spring, slowing down in summer, blooming in autumn and dormancy in winter.

Raw stone flowers in spring

Molting: in spring, new leaves are already slowly pregnant in winter. After dormancy in spring, new leaves begin to grow rapidly. In this process, new leaves mainly rely on absorbing nutrients from old leaves and moisture from the outside world. Sunlight enriches itself.

As the new leaves grow, the old leaves will shrink and shrivel, leaving only a thin layer of skin sucked by crazy babies. Stone flowers shed their skin, which is actually a process in which the new leaves grow and the old ones fade.

Molting is a slow process that basically lasts for months. In this process, the seeds are matured one after another, and when the old skin is removed, the basic pods are also mature. at this time, we can pick the pods and store them in a ventilated and shaded environment for sowing in autumn. (the head is usually packed in a box with desiccant in a homemade paper bag and stored in a drawer.)

Water supply: the growth of new leaves needs water and nutrition, at this time we may consider whether dormancy past, whether need a lot of water supply, but it is not. Just like our newborn babies, the nutrition given to the outside world is not as appropriate as breast milk.

Reason:

1. The old leaves of stone flowers almost contain the growth needs of new leaves. In this period of renewal of new and old leaves, the brain does not recommend the outside world to absorb water.

two。 The old leaf fades, the process is slow, this time water supply, will cause the new leaf to grow excessively, the old leaf tear wound is infected by the water to rot.

3. When the old leaves become dry skin, you can properly supply water, and the stone flowers grow very fast at this time, so you must match the temperature and sunlight to grasp it.

Here are a few pictures to say briefly:

Red olives, one has changed into two. Oh, ha ha. The new leaves grow and the old skin splits and prepares to fade. In fact, this molting is not very good, the nutrition of the old skin is not well absorbed by the new leaves.

Rilun jade, this old skin retreats very well, it is already very thin, and the new leaves inside are also very strong.

The following Lu Meiyu has grown up after giving water. She is so ugly. Let's recover later.

Two bad examples, the old skin has not yet faded, new leaves grow in the new leaves, crazy.

Raw stone flowers in summer

Water supply: high temperature in summer, stone flowers slow down growth into a semi-dormant state, but should also be a small amount of water supply, can not completely cut off water, occasionally in the evening to the raw stone flower area of the air spray, to reduce the temperature. When giving water in summer, do not give water in the sun, water droplets will form a concave-convex mirror, coupled with the sun's spoon heat, will burn raw stone flowers.

Raw stone flowers in autumn

At the beginning of autumn is a rare period of growth and gestation of stone flowers, at this time has begun to slowly give birth to buds, probably in September, there will be buds appear one after another, ready to bloom, delicate and blooming. At this time, we can give a little more water about once a week. The growth of the bud also needs water and nutrition.

The picture below shows the appearance of the bud just showing its head, which is sometimes amazing. It was not found the day before, but the change may have been found the next morning. The bud grows very fast.

The florescence of stone flower is about a week, if it is counted as 7 days, in the first 1-2 days of flowering, the petals are not fully grown and the stamens are not mature, pollination is not recommended at this time. When 3-5 days, the stamens are basically mature, which is a good time for pollination. Heads are usually dipped in cotton swabs to exchange pollen. (stone flowers are cross-pollinated, and self-pollination will not succeed.)

When pollination is successful, the flowers of stone flowers will give us a signal, and we will find them more glamorous, like a very feminine woman, and then the flowers will slowly wither and dry up.

And then wait for the seeds to ripen.

Raw stone flowers in winter

Water supply: winter stone flowers will also be semi-dormant, the growth rate is very slow, at this time, we gently squeeze the lower part of the stone flowers with our hands, we will feel the new leaves. You can also show it with a flashlight. This winter, the period of new leaf growth. When winter is almost over, some new leaves can appear, and the seeds mature quickly, and they are also about to ripen. At this time, water supply must be careful not to supply water in the first place.

The following picture is caused by carelessness when the head is fed with water, and the seed pod explodes. When you encounter such a situation, do not rush to take off the seed pods, when the seed pods are dry, they will be wrapped up.

Then, there is a reincarnation, molting in spring ing.
