How do bear boys breed?

Bear Boy is a succulent plant of the genus Euphorbiaceae, native to Namibia in Africa, with fluffy leaves, like bear claws, and is usually propagated by cuttings, which is the highest and most convenient way to survive. Of course, there are also the use of leaves, but it is more difficult, let's take a look at how bear boys reproduce!

Cutting Propagation of Bear Boy

Bear cuttage is the most commonly used propagation method, the best cutting period is in spring and autumn, when the temperature is more suitable, it is also a prosperous period for bear boy growth, which can improve the survival rate of cutting. Cuttings should choose branches with full and healthy leaves, cut them off and place them in a cool place to dry. After drying, the cuttings are cut in a mixture of vermiculite, perlite and peat, and placed in a cool place, then wait until the roots grow.

Leaf cuttings of Bear Boy

Bear Boy's leaf insertion is very difficult to survive, and generally will not succeed. In particular, the state of the leaves is not very healthy, it is even more difficult, and the survival rate is very small. It is easy to root out its leaves, but it does not mean that it can be successful. it is quite difficult to grow new buds.

The breeding method of bear boy

1. Temperature: after moving the bear boy to the new basin, you should always pay attention to keeping its growing environment dry to ensure sufficient sunlight. But it should be noted that the growth temperature of the bear boy should not exceed 35 ℃, because at this time, the growth of the plant will be suspended.

2, light: bear boy growth period to be fully sunny, sunny enough, the leaves will become fat and plump, if too dark, it will make the stems and leaves slender and weak. It is properly shaded under the high temperature in midsummer, but it is too shaded, the stems and leaves are delicate, and the villi lack luster. Not cold-resistant, indoor maintenance in winter, should be put in front of the window with plenty of sunshine.

3. Watering: bear Boys prefer dry soil. If the surrounding environment is relatively humid, the frequency of watering should be reduced to prevent root rot caused by excessive wetting of roots. When watering the bear boy, you should pay attention to watering less each time, twice a month, and try to control the watering time to about 07:00 in the evening.

4, change the basin: with the growth of the bear boy, the small basin has been unable to meet its growth needs, generally every one to two years to change the basin, and it is best to carry out in the spring of the growing period. Before changing the basin, the new soil should be prepared in the new basin, the fertility of the new soil is medium, the drainage performance of the soil is better, and the coarse sand, vermiculite, garden soil and rotten leaf soil can be mixed evenly. Because the bear boy is resistant to drought and not resistant to water and moisture, it only needs to pour a small amount of water at the beginning of the basin change.

5. Diseases and insects: wilt disease and leaf spot disease are two common diseases of bear boy. Wilt disease can make bear boy's leaves yellow and wilt, and if serious, it will die. Leaf spot disease will make the bear boy's leaves appear a variety of irregular spots, which will affect the appreciation of the bear boy. To prevent and cure these two diseases, 50 grams of carbendan can be diluted 800 times and sprayed on the surface of the plant. Bear Boy's pests include shell insects and whitefly, which can be diluted 1000 times with 40% omethoate EC and sprayed on the plant surface.
