I believe that many flower friends who like the succulent plants of Sedum family are attracted by the colorful Sedum!

This article is a little knowledge about how to enhance the color of Sedum according to the personal maintenance experience of Hua you. I believe you will have a new understanding of "how to grow jelly color and succulent".

Why do plants have jelly color?

① plants themselves normally have some anthocyanins, but they are high in chlorophyll, so they are masked.

② low temperatures and strong light can cause plants to change color because dark plants can absorb more heat, which is evolved by plants.

③ knows so much about this, so can you get jelly color just by tanning? Yes, but if there is not enough high light and low temperature, it is difficult to achieve a good effect, the color of the sun is dark.

So is there any other way?

Yes, to put it simply, it destroys the chlorophyll of the plant and increases the moisture in the plant. In other words, after some of the chlorophyll is destroyed, the color of anthocyanins slowly shows up.

Either a lot of pigment is distributed in a thick leaf or jelly color. (PS: there is no jelly color if there is too much pigment.)

Sunlight plays an absolute role in increasing the color of Sedum.

This has been known by many flower friends, if you can receive normal sunshine for 4 hours a day, you can achieve the ideal effect of increasing color, which refers to direct sunlight, not including sunlight penetrating glass and other transparent objects. The ultraviolet rays needed have the effect of the beautician.

However, this basic requirement can not be achieved by us now. Many flower friends are indoor maintenance landscapes, and the glass will directly attract 90% of ultraviolet rays, which will cause the effect of light but difficult to increase color, even if it is open-air maintenance. How many days a year can we see in the weather now is the blue sky you saw when we were children? The haze weather is really annoying, let's not talk about the weather.

Water control

Here is a simple mention to provide some reference for novice maintenance, water control will make the meat leaves can not always be in a state of water absorption, naturally reduce its growth color (green) luster, so as to reduce the formation of green pigment.

The content of water in the soil can be controlled by reducing the watering frequency, increasing the proportion of particles in the soil, using more breathable flowerpots and so on.

Temperature difference, to be exact, is a large temperature difference.

When the temperature difference of Sedum sedum leaves is large, anthocyanin (anthocyanin-English: Anthocyanidin) is a water-soluble plant pigment, which exists in the cell fluid in the vacuole, and is commonly found in the tissues of flowers and fruits, as well as in the epidermis and lower epidermis of stems and leaves.

It combines with sugars with glycosidic bonds to form anthocyanins, which is related to the color of flowers and red leaves, and is a natural antioxidant. The color can be changed with the acid and base of the cell fluid.

If the cell fluid is acidic, it is red, and if it is alkaline, it is blue. At the relative survival temperature, the lower the temperature, the lower the PH value of anthocyanin (the more acidic), which is not only the reason for turning red, but also the reason why the color of Sedum sedum can be very bright in spring and late autumn.

The above three basic factors affecting the color of Sedum know, then for we want to raise the state of Sedum, we have to pursue how to achieve these requirements!

First, increase the utilization of sunshine

Under unconditional circumstances, the supplementary light lamp can be used to make up the light manually.

Practice two, artificial biological fertilizer

Carrots are common, and Sedum also absorbs carotene, which can change the color of the leaves by changing the carotene absorbed by Sedum.

The fertilizer I make is very simple: wash the carrots and cut them into pieces, then cook them in a pot for more time, and then ferment them so that they can be fertilized to the meat.

It turns out that the leaves can only be green and may become transparent yellow. Those who like to turn red will appear translucent yellow and red and other colors that should not have appeared originally.

Third, adjust the PH value regularly.

Every month, every bonsai day I dissolve in vinegar and irrigate once, adjust the PH value of the basin soil to 4.5, increase the acidity (you should measure the PH value of your tap water source yourself, and then adjust it according to the PH difference, it is recommended that you buy test money or test paper, do not misuse it if you are not sure of your own water source)

There are many ways to adjust the PH value, for example, the ready-made ferrous sulfate in the flower market plays this role, which is very economical and applicable, and white vinegar can also be used, which should be repeatedly confirmed as safe.

In fact, the adaptability of Sedum is still very strong, I use the process, sometimes there are errors, but also did not hurt Sedum.
