Don't worry about an empty cup buckle when you get thin and succulent. It's fat, green and tender enough to pinch out water for a few days.

When it comes to the stuffy cultivation of succulent plants, many flower friends have different attitudes, so let's talk about it.

Why should succulent plants be stuffed?

Anyone who has seen the greenhouse knows that the succulent plants there are delightfully watery, and their leaves are bright, fresh and full (in fact, I have never been to the greenhouse, but I just watched the immortals keep putting poison and envy). But once you move back home, even if you start your own kitchen to take care of these little guys, they are not so watery, the leaves are dim, the tips of the leaves wither, and the ornamental quality of the plants is greatly reduced.

Although succulent plants can withstand longer periods of drought than other plants, it is by no means that these plants do not like watering. Water should be replenished reasonably according to the growth and development of plants and the situation of producing areas. Take Yulu as an example, this kind of plant is mainly produced in South Africa, and because of the changeable climate, there are usually two rainy seasons in summer and winter, which is the growing season of Yulu. Therefore, Yulu should reasonably replenish water according to the growth of the plant, rather than mechanically watering it every few days or when it is dry.

Nowadays, people who raise meat at home are placed on a windowsill with good light conditions or a closed balcony, but in such an environment, the relative humidity in the greenhouse is poor. For example, in the light rain in Changsha today, the outdoor temperature is 16 degrees and the air humidity is 75%, but after putting the temperature hygrometer in the room for two hours, the temperature remains unchanged, but the humidity is reduced to 60%. It is obvious that the indoor humidity is low, succulent nature can not drink full water.

How to cultivate succulent plants?

In that case, the conservation environment can not be changed, and the only way for us to improve the relative humidity of the air is to make a small greenhouse for meat.

Therefore, for this practice of improving the local environment, I basically adopt the method of stuffy cultivation, that is, plastic cups, and the effect is good. The specific methods are as follows, for flower friends' reference:

First, remember: stuffy plants can not be put in the sun, otherwise the smaller the greenhouse space, the local temperature will rise too high and become a "braised meat". Safety comes first, haste is wasted.

Second, the time to sulk: spring, autumn and winter. Shading and cooling can prolong the time of stuffy nourishment.

Sultry in spring and autumn season is to accelerate its growth process, generally 5-50 degrees rainy day is appropriate. In sunny weather, it is recommended to remove the stuffy device and let it bask in the sun, but be careful that there are no drops of water on the meat, otherwise it is easy to sunburn.

Freshly watered meat should not be stuffed immediately. It is better to keep it overnight or whole for a little less moisture.

Winter stuffy is to create a small Greenhouse Effect for meat, should timely observe the situation to prevent the production of mold, watering times should not be too frequent, it is best to soak the basin only slightly.

Third, if you like the color difference caused by the large temperature difference of meat, you should use it with caution. Because meat is generally raised in spring and autumn, just when the temperature difference is large, and stuffy culture creates a small greenhouse for meat, so that it can not produce its colorful scene under the large temperature difference.

Fourth, stuffy plants often crack the windows of plants because of excessive humidity, so when the temperature picks up, it is necessary to increase the time to lift the lid, so that plants have a gradual process of adaptation.

In fact, I have always wanted to see Yulu burst the window, but this has never happened to me, but I have heard others say that she has appeared there.

Fifth, watering should be well controlled in the process of stuffy cultivation, and it is easy to cause rotten roots or overgrowth in the environment of high temperature and high humidity.

Sixth, stuffy cultivation for a long time will cause a decline in the antibodies of plants, so the time of stuffy cultivation should be removed in time from the beginning of winter to the temperature rising in the following spring.

Seventh, stuffy makes the air humidity in the local space too high, which is easy to breed diseases and shell insects, so it is necessary to adjust the local environment appropriately according to the state of plants.

And other management measures.

Finally, I would like to remind you that it is not necessary to use the method of stuffy cultivation to grow local flowers and plants that are already growing rapidly.

Stuffy culture is only a temporary method to improve the plant type of meat, and it is not necessarily suitable for all succulent plants. Generally, it is suitable for meat with windows, such as Yulushu, followed by seedlings, and some succulent plants with less ideal plant type. And fish, apricots and novices, try not to use this method.
