The Culture method of Ji Coral

I. soil requirements

The soil used to cultivate Ji coral needs sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability and rich in calcium. It can be made of river sand, shellfish, cinder, and rotten foliage soil in the proportion of 2 / 2 / 2 / 3.

II. Planting methods

Prepare a slightly larger basin, thick mud basin is better, match the soil, and maintain a little humidity. Choose a sturdy stem to be implanted in the basin, then spray water to glue the surface of the basin soil, and then put it in the sun. Do not water frequently, it is best to keep the basin soil dry. After a period of time, there will be some small yellow thorns to grow out of the stem, and the stem will slowly turn partial. Flower friends who have raised other water-loving plants must reverse their habits and must not water them frequently. This is the way to force the growth of applause-like stems. When the stem segment is about 2cm wide, it can be put on the pot.

III. Fertilization methods

Ji coral should not apply chemical fertilizer, otherwise the roots will rot easily, with little or no application. We can apply rotten baking liquid twice every half a month at the beginning of spring, summer and autumn. The basin soil can keep wet but not dry. If it is too wet for a long time, it will cause the lower part of the plant to rot, and the whole plant will soon rot, so we must pay attention to the balance of dry and wet.

Fourth, lighting requirements

If Ji coral lacks light, it will grow too long, and the stem will be light green and become very slender, so it is not suitable to be placed indoors where the optical fiber is insufficient for a long time. If you then move outside, it will grow a thick stem, which will affect the entire shape of the plant, so it is necessary to maintain stable light conditions to make it grow steadily.

Matters needing attention in Ji coral culture

The basin is changed once a year, and in the second year after transplanting, the basin soil is changed before the spring growth season, and the management remains the same. When it comes to the peak growth period, it will grow completely palm-shaped stems, but at this time the stem pieces are not large. If larger stem pieces are needed, then it is necessary to break off some extra stem buds and let it grow straight as a single plant. Change the larger pot in the spring of the third year, and if the flowers are well managed, they will be able to grow the largest stems when they are in full bloom.

In order to prevent decay, plant culture after complete form should pay attention to the following three points: 1. Do not apply heavy fertilizer, 2. Better dry than wet. Keep plenty of sunshine.
