The method of exploding pot culture of golden branches and jade leaves

Golden branch jade leaf is a perennial evergreen shrub native to Africa, which was later introduced into China. Its shape is just like its name. It has many branches and dense leaves. Its most remarkable feature is that its twigs are originally green, but they turn fuchsia in the sun, and the leaves are green, and they also turn yellow or red in the sun, which is very strange and beautiful. Especially when it explodes, the ornamental value is very high, so how do we make it burst in the process of breeding? Let's take a look at it.

Growth habit

If we want to blow it up, let's first understand its growth habits. Golden branches and jade leaves like warm, dry, sunny environment, and can also grow in hidden places, but the stem nodes become longer, and the leaves are dim and dull, and the leaves are thin and do not feel that kind of fleshy texture. Avoid exposure to the sun, the strongest need to shade in summer, lest strong light lead to malaise, affect the ornamental; avoid waterlogging, basin soil too much water will lead to its root rot and death; not resistant to cold, the temperature had better be kept above 10 degrees in winter, below 5 degrees will not cause plant death, but its leaves will continue to fall.

The method of explosive pot culture

Soil: suitable for sandy soil with loose fertility and good drainage. This kind of soil has sufficient fertility and can provide sufficient nutrients for plant growth. Loose and good drainage can maximize the harm of rotting roots caused by excessive stagnant water.

Watering: when the golden branches and jade leaves are planted or transplanted, you should be careful not to water them immediately. The new pots have slow roots for a period of time, usually three to four days after the new pots. Planting flowerpots need to have breathable drainage holes, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots, watering principle: no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly, low temperature in winter, watering should be controlled.

Pruning: Golden branches and jade leaves have strong germinating power and grow very fast. in order to ensure its beautiful plant shape, branches and leaves should be often trimmed and sprouted, otherwise when it grows too high, its branches and leaves will stagnate and branches and leaves will be messy. Trimming should consider styling, which is generally dominated by pruning and supplemented by flat binding.

Turn the basin: turn the basin every two to three years, it is recommended to do it in spring, choose sandy soil with medium fertility, loose and good drainage, prune the plant once when turning the basin, cut off its weak branches and branches that affect the tree shape, and then cut off part of the root system, remove about half of the original soil, and replant it with new soil.

Golden branch jade leaf vitality is relatively strong, to understand its growth habits or relatively easy to raise, as long as to achieve the above points, breeding pot explosion is still relatively simple, I hope this article can help you.
