Rainbow jade, also known as Merry Christmas, eardrop grass, etc., is a perennial succulent herb belonging to Sedum of Crassulaceae. Its origin is Mexico. It grows fast. Spring and summer are the main growing seasons. The high temperature of 35 degrees in summer needs shade. In winter, it can be safely overwintered by keeping above 5 degrees Celsius. Let's take a look at the breeding method of Rainbow Jade together!

The growth habit of rainbow jade

Rainbow jade cold-resistant, not afraid of the sun exposure, the more red its leaves, so summer does not have to shade, and in the semi-shade of the plant leaves green light. Sometimes a pot of rainbow jade due to the intensity of sunlight and different time, the leaf color will be red and green, new leaves due to short light time, often red at the top, other parts are still green. It likes warm and obvious temperature difference environment, strong adaptability to temperature, and can grow well between 10℃ and 28℃.

The reproduction method of rainbow jade

1. Stem insertion: The stem insertion of Rainbow Jade can be cut into 5 cm stem segments by using pruned branches. It is best to dry them in the shade for 3 to 5 days. After the incision is slightly dry, insert them into the seedbed.

2, cuttage: leave a few pairs of leaves at the bottom, intercept a section of the upper plant. Dry in a cool place. It can be inserted into the moist soil (no water, otherwise it will rot) and wait for it to take root. In the process, the lower leaves may wither and wither for the nutrients needed for the root. Cuttings can also wait in the air to send out air roots and then insert the soil.

3, leaf insert: leaf insert is to pick some small leaves, flat on the dry soil, not long will grow a small meat, and some red beard-like air roots, then bury the roots into the soil is good. It'll grow. This method has a large reproduction coefficient and is suitable for mass reproduction, but it is slow to form.

Culture method of rainbow jade

1. Soil: The rainbow jade is planted in loose, fertile, drained and ventilated soil, which can be mixed with humus soil, garden soil and sandy soil.

2. Watering: Rainbow Jade has less demand for water. Basically, it can be watered 1~2 times a week. Rainbow Jade should follow the principle of not watering and watering thoroughly. When the temperature is low, it should reduce the amount of watering appropriately.

3, light: Rainbow jade likes warm environment, relatively large demand for light, like strong sunshine environment, so you can put rainbow jade plants in the bright living room or breeding in the balcony.

4. Temperature: Rainbow jade has a strong ability to adapt to temperature, and the temperature difference between day and night is also conducive to the growth of rainbow jade, which grows more vigorously between 10℃ and 28℃.

5. Fertilization: Hongzhiyu has a general demand for water. Basically, organic liquid fertilizer is applied once a month. When applying fertilizer, avoid branches and leaves as soon as possible so as not to cause branches and leaves to rot.

What if the rainbow jade leaves?

1. Watering: Rainbow jade grows slowly and is resistant to drought, so it is not suitable for large fertilizer and water. If it is watered all the time, it will definitely drop the leaves and rot the roots.

Light: Rainbow jade likes warmth, the whole growth period should let him fully see the light. However, summer sun exposure can cause sunburn of leaves.

3. Ventilation: Rainbow jade has fewer diseases, but if the ventilation condition is not good and the air humidity is large, stem rot and leaf spot disease will occasionally occur.
