Child prodigy, a succulent plant of the genus Euphorbia in Sedum family, is a horticultural hybrid of Crassula Rupestris. The prodigy leaves are grayish green to dark green, the front end of the leaf is triangular, and the pairwise are densely opposite. Spring flowering, flower clusters born at the top, pink, large number of flowers, fragrant.

Maintenance mode:

1. Sunshine

Usually in spring and summer, it is the best time for it to grow. At this time, we can let it have a whole day of light, let it enjoy more sunshine and promote its growth. But it usually goes dormant slightly in summer, so if we want it to blossom, we have to let it bask in the sun more so that it blossoms faster. In winter, the light is relatively weak, at this time we can choose a place as sunny as possible to let it shine all day.

two。 Watering

When watering it, we must pay attention to it. If it has not been watered for a long time, then we must remember to water it thoroughly at this time, so as to meet the amount of water at its roots. But if it is not dry, then we do not need to water it, as long as its basin soil is kept wet, but not too wet. Water about 1-2 times a week during the growing season. Summer watering should pay attention to the amount of watering when the summer temperature is high, generally watering it 3 to 4 times a month, and a small amount of water on the edge of its basin. This depends on the size of your basin and local weather conditions. In this way, the root system can be kept from drying up because it is too dry. In winter, if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the water should be cut off slowly, and if the temperature is below 3 degrees, the basin soil should be kept dry. Only in this way can we get through the winter safely.

3. Soil

When we choose soil, we must choose those with better air permeability, generally using peat soil to mix a little cinder on the line, so that we can isolate its plants from the instant noodles of the soil and make the permeability better. Of course, when choosing soil, we should also choose those with good drainage to prevent the existence of stagnant water.

4. Reproduction

There are three ways to breed child prodigies: sowing, cutting and dividing plants. If the child prodigy is cultivated in a large area, the seed of the child prodigy can be sown on the prepared seedbed and then covered with a thin layer of soil to keep warm and wet. Keep the temperature at 21 °C, and the child prodigy's seeds will germinate in a week or so. Second, there are many methods for cutting propagation, one is the leaf cutting method, that is, cutting with the succulent leaves of the child prodigy, this method is more convenient, but the survival rate is relatively low; the second is the root cutting method, which intercepts the succulent rhizome with buds of the child prodigy and buries it into the soil, and the bud points on the roots grow new plants. The third is the method of beheading cutting, which cuts off the upper part of the succulent child prodigy, leaving the rhizome to continue to grow, and the cut-off part for cutting propagation. As for split propagation, it means that after the child prodigy has grown to a certain extent, some small plants will be produced in groups, and these small plants with roots can be taken out of the soil, and then they can be moved to new potted plants for planting. Because of the existence of roots, they usually adapt and grow in about a week.
