How to breed Pishi's stone lotus?

Pi's stone lotus, also known as blue stone lotus, is a succulent plant of the genus crassulaceae. The plant does not have a small stem, and gradually elongates to form an old pile with the growth of time, and the leaf rosette is densely arranged. The plant diameter will not be very large, and the leaves are relatively thin. Small and medium-sized pots can be used to decorate the study, living room, bedroom and office. Let's take a look at how to breed it.

Growth habits of Clematis chinensis

Peel's stone lotus likes warm, dry, sunny and ventilated environment, appropriate shade can also (can not stand strong light), the best growth temperature is 20: 30 ℃, the lower the temperature, the brighter the meat color, no obvious dormancy period, drought resistance, not cold resistance, slightly resistant to semi-shade, avoid water dampness. The plant has a short dormancy period at high temperature in summer, and the plant growth is slow or completely stagnant. Spring, autumn and early summer are the main growth periods of the plant.

The Propagation technique of Clematis chinensis

1. Sowing: the volume of the seeds is very small, so the seeds can not be sown on demand, but can only be sown blindly. The specific method is to take a piece of white paper, then fold it in half, and put the seeds in the grooves folded up on the white paper. Then gently tap the white paper when sowing, and the seeds can be evenly planted in the area.

2. Cuttage: both leaf cuttings and cuttings can reproduce and have a high survival rate, and their operation methods are relatively similar, but most of them are mainly leaf cuttings, which are simple, convenient and easy to survive. as long as the well-growing pressure measurement is taken off and inserted directly into the sand bed.

How to breed Pishi's stone lotus?

1. Soil: Clematis chinensis is a medium and large plant. With the growth state, the pot can be changed once every 3 years, and the pot diameter can be 1 inch larger than the plant diameter, which can promote plant growth. The mixed soil is generally made of peat + vermiculite + perlite and adding appropriate amount of bone powder. It can also be mixed with 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 3 parts of river sand, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of slag.

2. Watering: Peel's stone lotus can be watered thoroughly for a long time, and water can be sprinkled around the plant when the air is dry, but the leaf surface, especially the center of the leaf clump, should not accumulate water, otherwise it will cause a rotten heart. Watering is controlled in the high temperature period, dry and thoroughly in the growing period, keeping properly dry, and watering is controlled when the winter temperature is lower than 5 ℃.

3. Fertilization: it is not allowed to apply fertilizer during the high temperature dormancy period in summer, but it can be fertilized properly during the growing period, usually every 20 days or so, but the waste water can not be touched on the leaf surface when applying fertilizer. Fertilization is usually carried out in the morning or evening when the weather is clear, and the water is watered once in the evening or the next morning to dilute the residual fertilizer in the soil.

4. Illumination: the leaf color will be gorgeous and the plant type will be more compact and beautiful only after receiving enough sunshine. If the sunshine is too little, the leaves are light, the leaves are loosely arranged and elongated, and the leaves become thinner. Shade and controlled watering are needed in summer and kept indoors in the sun in winter.

5. Temperature: put it in a sunny place indoors in winter. If the lowest temperature at night is about 10 ℃, and there is a certain temperature difference between day and night, it can be properly watered and fertilized as appropriate to make the plant continue to grow. If it can not maintain such a high temperature, we should control watering, keep the basin soil dry, stop fertilization, make the plant dormant, and be able to withstand the low temperature of 5 ℃.

6. Insect pests: the common rust, leaf spot and root-knot nematode hazards are caused by 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 800 times, and root-knot nematode with 3% carbofuran granules. Pests are harmful to black weevil and are sprayed with a 500-fold solution of 25% carbaryl wettable powder.
