Culture method of Jade Fan

The jade fan, also known as the truncated twelve-volume, is a succulent plant belonging to the 12-volume genus of the unicorn family, with strong habits, sturdy roots, plant-shaped plants, thick leaves, transparent tops like windows, changeable patterns, exquisite and elegant, just like living arts and crafts. many enthusiasts specialize in collection and cultivation. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of jade fans.

Growth habits of Jade Fan

Jade fan is native to southern Africa and can be cultivated in many places in the world. Like cool, ample and soft sunshine. Resistant to drought and semi-overcast, avoid Yin dampness, not resistant to cold, afraid of high temperature. The growth period of spring and autumn is given sufficient light, if the light is not enough, the plant type will be loose, the leaves will grow too long, and the "window" surface will become smaller and turbid.

The breeding method of Jade Fan

1. Ramets: the reproduction of jade fan can be combined with changing pots for ramet, take off the young plants beside the mother plant, dry them for 2-3 days, then plant them, and spray some water on the second day after planting.

2. Leaf insertion: in the growing season, the strong fleshy leaves at the base of the jade fan were cut and dried for 2 or 3 days, and then inserted into SARS or vermiculite to keep the slight tide, and rooting at 20: 25 ℃ for 3-4 weeks.

3, root insertion: Jade fan root insertion combined with autumn basin change, the robust root is still buried in the soil after breaking off from the base of the plant, exposing the soil surface of about 1 cm, the top will sprout and grow into a new plant.

4. Sowing: the seeds of the jade fan are sown with picking after maturation. After sowing, the basin is covered with glass to keep the seedlings moist for 7 days. After sowing and the seedling stage, the method of "irrigation" should be used to water the seeds to avoid washing out the seeds and flushing down the seedlings.

Culture method of Jade Fan

1. Temperature: the growth temperature of jade fan is 15-20 ℃. The winter temperature should be kept above 8 ℃. If the temperature is too high, it will lead to the death of the jade fan because it is not resistant to high temperature. When raising jade fans, you can keep them in a dry and semi-overcast environment, and the humidity of the air should not be too humid.

2. Lighting: the jade fan is a plant that likes semi-shade and soft and sufficient sunlight, so when breeding, it is necessary to illuminate in spring and autumn, because the light in these two seasons is relatively soft and cannot be exposed in strong light. Sufficient sunlight is given in winter, and the plant can continue to be watered for more than 10 ℃ to make the plant grow normally.

3. Watering: Jade fan is a drought-tolerant plant, and the demand for water is not very large, but in the growing period, due to the rapid growth of leaves and large evaporation of water, it is not suitable to water more. Generally, when the summer temperature is high, the jade fan is in a dormant period and cannot be watered more.

4. Fertilization: according to the growth principle of plants, Yufan should adopt the method of a small number of times, and pay attention to the combined use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. During the growing period, fertilization should be carried out every two weeks, generally using nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium formula flower fertilizer to facilitate the provision of long-term nutrition. It is necessary to apply less or no fertilizer when the temperature is low in winter.

5. Change the basin: the jade fan generally needs to change the basin once every two years, and it should be carried out in spring when changing the basin. The soil should be loose and fertile sandy soil. At the same time, the basin can be turned once every September, which can remove old roots and loose soil.

6. Diseases and insect pests: the diseases and insect pests of Yufan, including leaf rot and dry rot, need to be paid more attention to when breeding. Once this disease is found, it is necessary to spray insect repellent, which is generally sprayed with 1500 times of carbendazim wettable powder. The main pest is whitefly, which can be sprayed with 3000 times of 10% insecticide EC.
