How to keep ice lantern jade dew?

Ice lantern jade dew is the best of jade dew, named because its fleshy leaves are crystal clear and bright, as clear and transparent as ice lantern. Next, the editor will introduce how to raise ice lantern jade dew and what problems we should pay attention to.

Ecological habits of ice lantern jade dew

Ice lantern Yulu likes a well-lit and ventilated environment, which can also withstand half-shade. Watering follows the principle of "see dry and wet". When watering, water thoroughly at one time, and then water it after being dry. In order to make the leaves of the plant fuller, we can choose plastic, porcelain and other texture basin locking device planting to ensure that the plant can fully absorb water.

Culture method of ice lantern jade dew

To get a perfect plant type of ice lantern jade dew, root cultivation is the key. Healthy roots can ensure the healthy and rapid growth of plants. In order to make the root system deep-rooted, it is suggested to use granular soil with good ventilation and drainage and not easy to solidify, in which an appropriate amount of peat is added (ratio: 4 parts of particles and 1 part of peat), and some bottom fertilizer can be added to supplement nutrients at the bottom of the basin to make up for the deficiency of nutrients in granular soil. in this way, it is not only breathable and moisturizing, but also has sufficient nutrients.

Planting environment is also a problem that can not be ignored. Lack of light leaves are easy to grow, too strong easy to sunburn, sunburn window. It can be placed in the place with astigmatism on the inside of Nanyang platform.

Plants have their own growth rules, so don't expect ice lantern jade dew to be perfect all the year round. 15 °C ~ 28 °C is the most suitable temperature for plant growth, so the plant will show good growth in spring and autumn. It is necessary to control water above 35 °C in summer, and the ice lamp is dormant. At this time, the shrinkage and dimness of the leaf window due to lack of water is a normal phenomenon, and it will be restored as new immediately after replenishing water. In winter, as long as the temperature is controlled at about 10 °C, it can grow as usual, and the lowest temperature should not be less than 5 °C.

In order to make the leaves as bright as a light bulb, under the premise of a good root system (don't try it in summer), you can use the method of stuffy culture. A transparent plastic cup can be covered on top of the ice lamp to increase the humidity in the small environment by airtight means. But the time is not too long, two days to cover a breathable, stuffy time is too long will cause the leaf window cracking, seriously affect the ornamental.

Because the ice lantern jade dew does not produce lateral buds, its reproduction speed is very slow. In order to ensure the good characters of the female parent, its reproduction can only rely on beheading or leaf cutting.

Four seasons maintenance of ice lantern jade dew

When the summer temperature is high, the ice lantern jade dew 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, so as to avoid "steaming" the plant in a hot and humid environment and avoid hot sun exposure. don't pour too much water and stop fertilizing.

Return to normal management after the autumn is cool. In winter, when the lowest temperature is about 8 ℃ at night and above 15 ℃ during the day, sandalwood plants can continue to grow and should be watered normally; if watering is controlled to make the plants dormant, they can withstand a low temperature of 3 ℃ ~ 5 ℃, or even a short-term low temperature of 0 ℃, and if kept in a low temperature environment below 5 ℃ for a long time, the plants will not die, but there will be signs of frostbite on the leaves. Therefore, the overwintering temperature of Yulu had better be maintained above 5 ℃.

Matters needing attention in ice lantern jade dew culture

1. Soil: ice lantern jade dew requires good ventilation and drainage, and is not easy to agglomerate. It can also be planted with synthetic materials such as red jade soil, blue stone and gold plant, but an appropriate amount of peat soil should be added to increase the content of organic matter in the soil.

2. Moisture: watering should grasp the principle of seeing dry and wet, and watering should be thoroughly watered. Do not expose yourself to the sun after watering, and place it in a cool place with low light. Avoid stagnant water, let alone rain, especially not long-term rain, to avoid rotting roots. But it is not suitable for long-term drought, otherwise the plant will not die, but the leaves will be withered and the leaf color will be dim. When the air is dry, you can often spray water to the plant and its surrounding environment.

3. Temperature: the lowest temperature in winter is about 8 ℃ at night and above 20 ℃ in daytime, and the plant can continue to grow. The most suitable temperature is 15: 28, and the temperature is 5: 35. If the plant is exposed to less than 5 ℃ for a long time, the plant will not die, but the leaves will be frostbitten.

4. Fertilization: during the growing period, mature thin liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer with low nitrogen and high phosphorus and potassium can be applied once a month for vigorous plants, while new plants or weaker plants do not need to be fertilized. There is no need to apply fertilizer during the dormancy period when it is hot in summer or low in winter. The fertilization time should be sunny morning or evening.

5. Air: ventilation is very important. Strengthen ventilation on muggy summer nights. Need to be maintained in a dry place, and avoid hot sun exposure and long-term rain.

6. lighting: careful exposure to high temperature for a long time in summer, succulent plant tissue cell hypertrophy and slow heat dissipation, very easy to cause leaf sunburn. Sufficient sunshine in other seasons contributes to plant growth. There are a lot of plants that need shade, such as 12 rolls of green and transparent ones, you should be careful of sunburn.

7. Turning the basin: because the roots of Yulu will secrete acidic substances, which makes the soil acidified, the roots are aging and hollow, and the basin can be changed once a year in spring or autumn. If it is found that the growth of the plant is stagnant and the leaves are withered during the growing period, it is likely that the root system is damaged. When turning the basin, cut off the aging hollow roots, cut the excessively long roots short, retain the stout new white roots, and then plant them with new culture soil.
