How to raise Ji Yulu?

Ji Yu Lu likes cool semi-shady environment, the main growth period in the cooler spring and autumn season, requires a certain air humidity, drought resistance, not cold, avoid high temperature and humidity and sun exposure, afraid of shade, afraid of soil ponding, production generally using greenhouse potted plants or seedbeds planted, let's take a look at how Ji Yu Lu raised it!

Culture temperature of Jiyu Lu

Yulu is suitable for growth in warm winter and cool summer environment. In summer, the plant is dormant or semi-dormant, and its growth is slow or completely stagnant. It can be maintained in a ventilated, cool and dry place, and avoid sun exposure and long-term rain. Do not irrigate too much water. Stop fertilizing and resume normal management after autumn cool.

The lowest temperature in winter is about 8℃ at night and above 20℃ during the day. The plants can continue to grow and should be watered normally. If watering is controlled, the plants will enter dormant state. Can withstand 3℃~5℃ low temperature, even short-term 0℃ low temperature, if long-term in the environment below 5℃, although the plant will not die, but the leaves will leave frostbite marks, especially the leaves on the periphery of the plant are easy to freeze, the frozen leaves are white, can not be restored to the original.

Therefore, it is better to maintain the winter temperature of Yulu above 5℃.

Regulation of illumination of Jiyu Lu

It is sensitive to light. If the light is too strong, the leaves grow poorly, showing light reddish brown. Sometimes strong direct light will burn the leaves, leaving ugly scars. The cultivation site is too shady, and will cause loose plant type, not compact, thin leaves,"window" transparency is poor, such plants are difficult to restore the original appearance, can only wait for this group of long leaves slowly fall off, and then grow strong new leaves.

The plants growing in the semi-shade have plump leaves and high transparency. Therefore, a layer of sunshade net can be added from May to September, and the sunshade net should be removed from October to April of the following year, and full light should be given.

Selection of Culturing Soil

Yulu suitable for loose fertile, good drainage permeability, containing calcareous, and coarse grain size of sandy soil growth. Usually planted in a mixture of 2 parts moldy soil, 3 parts coarse sand or vermiculite, and mixed with a small amount of bone powder. high grade varieties such as yulu shoujin and maoyulu can also be planted with synthetic materials such as red jade soil, orchid stone and epiphyte stone, but proper peat soil should be added to increase the organic matter content of the soil.

How to water Jellies

During the growth period, watering should be done without watering, and the principle of watering should be thoroughly watered. Water should be avoided, and rain should not be allowed, especially for a long time, to avoid rotten roots. However, it is not suitable for long-term drought, otherwise the plant will not die, but the leaves will dry up and the leaf color will be dull.

When the air is dry, it can often spray water to the plant and the surrounding environment. In the growing season, the transparent colorless beverage bottle with the upper part cut off can be used to cover the plant for maintenance, so that it can grow in a small environment with humid air, so that the leaves can be full, and the transparency of the "window" is higher.

However, in the summer high temperature season, it is necessary to remove the beverage bottle, so as not to cause the plant to die due to sultry humidity.

Application method of Jiyu dew

In the growth period, the plants with vigorous growth can be applied with decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium once a month, and the plants newly potted or the plants with weak growth need not be fertilized. Fertilization is also not necessary during dormancy periods when summer temperatures are high or winter temperatures are low. Fertilization time should choose sunny morning or evening.

How to turn over the basin

Because the root system of jade dew secretes acidic substances, it causes soil acidification and makes the root aging hollow. It can be replaced once a year in spring or autumn. If the growth period found that plant growth stagnation, withered leaves, it is likely that the root system damage, should be timely pot finishing roots.

When turning pots, cut off the aged hollow roots, cut off the long roots, keep the thick white new roots, and then plant them with new culture soil. Newly planted plants can be sprayed frequently, but less watering, so that plants can resume growth as soon as possible.

Because the ornamental value of the flowers of Yulu is not high, if there is no seed, the flower scape can be pulled out from the base to avoid consuming too much nutrients. It should be noted that the flower scape should not be cut with scissors, but should be pulled out by hand, so as to avoid residual pedicels remaining between the leaves, which will adversely affect the growth of new leaves in the future.

Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests of Jiyu dew

The main diseases are root rot disease, which is caused by poor permeability of cultivated materials and long-term water accumulation in soil. Therefore, we should improve the cultivation environment, select loose and breathable soil for planting, and do not accumulate water for a long time. In addition, long-term accumulation of water in the center of the plant will cause heart rot.

If the soil is not changed for a long time, it will cause physiological diseases of plants due to aging and hollow roots, so that the plants stop growing, the leaves are dry and not full, and the soil should be changed in time when encountering this situation. Insect mealybugs can be planted in the soil before high temperature treatment, and add pesticides to the soil.
