Magnolia mandshurica, a succulent plant of the genus Sedum, native to Mexico, in rock crevices 1200-2100 meters above sea level, has a short dormant period in summer. Its plant height can reach 15-20 cm, leaves are closely arranged in the shape of rosette, and perennial plants can form cushion-like communities. There are short stems, lateral buds basal, walking stems axillary. The leaf is tongue-shaped, the growing period will stretch slightly around, and close to the center in the dry season, usually showing light blue to light green. When the light is sufficient, the edge of the leaf will be slightly pink, and the top of the leaf will be sharp and slender, smooth and transparent, which is similar to the succulent moon, with a warm and moist feeling.

Flowers five-petal, sepals connected at base, Obovate, sharp; petals elliptic-lanceolate, pointed, 7-10 mm long, green on the downward side, yellowish green on the inward side, brown spots or stripes scattered at the base, uniform color from the middle to the apex; apex yellowish green, with red stripes on the margin on the downward side; filaments white-green, reddish at the top. Florets star-shaped, petals ovate-triangular, light green, with dark red spots and patches.

Growth environment: the original place of manlian is in the rock crevice at an altitude of one or two thousand meters above sea level, indicating that it prefers a cool environment. In summer, it should pay attention to shade and ventilation, avoid muggy environment and avoid long-term dampness of basin soil.

Light maintenance: in the spring and autumn growth season, sufficient light can be given as far as possible, the plant type can be more compact and thicker, the color can be more pink, such as lack of light, the plant is easy to green or even grow, and should be shaded properly in midsummer.

Watering maintenance: water is dry and thoroughly watered, and a small amount of water is supplied at the height of summer. Don't let the roots dry up completely in summer. The water will be cut off slowly when the temperature is below 3 degrees in winter. A small amount of water can be supplied at noon when there is sunshine in winter to ensure that the water of the plant will not be exhausted in winter, the temperature will rise at the beginning of spring, and it will recover soon after the water supply.

Soil selection: the soil for planting lotus can choose loose and breathable medium, such as peat / coconut bran, because the root is fine, the proportion of peat soil can be higher, such as higher granular soil can easily lead to the plant can not absorb water, can not grow.

Main points of propagation: the lotus plant is easy to walk the stem. Magnolia mandshurica can also be cut into leaves, but cutting stems and lateral buds are relatively faster to propagate, and the survival rate is very high. You can cut off the stem or lateral buds directly, dry the wound, and cut it in the slightly damp soil. After drying, a small amount of water supply, avoid exposure, generally 10-15 days or so can grow new roots. After confirming the long root, the water can be supplied normally.
