I didn't expect that there are so many varieties of tequila that look great on the windowsill.

If every plant you raise dies, you might as well try to raise a tequila tree. Don't think that they all grow in the courtyard. They also have many varieties suitable for pot conservation, and there are also many varieties with small plants. Like the common queen tequila, it is very popular. Although it grows slowly, it is better than lovely.

I. Conservation of the environment

Tequila is also called Century Tree, which means it can survive for a century. they all like a dry and cool environment, and it is necessary to have more ventilation and light in hot and humid summer to avoid frequent soil moisture.

Tequila has certain cold-resistant characteristics, but they are not too shade-resistant, maintenance needs more light, and it is necessary to see light on the windowsill indoors.

Winter maintenance temperature of more than 5 degrees can survive, it is good to say that tequila has a certain degree of cold resistance, but it is also to become a robust tequila, it will not freeze to death at about 10 degrees below zero, and it will survive the winter safely above 5 degrees below zero.

However, you can't water more in winter, and you have to keep the soil dry when the weather is cold. It has a strong ability to withstand drought, and it has no problem without watering for a few months, but if the soil is often wet, it is easy to rot and die.

Second, pot conservation of tequila

one

Proper lighting

Maintenance of potted tequila, of course, to choose small varieties of plants, such as the common Kushi snow, Taki white silk, and so on, they are particularly good ornamental tequila.

The maintenance of tequila environment should be sunny, they are not afraid of exposure, when the summer temperature is too high, appropriate shade in the afternoon.

Low temperature in winter to move indoors should also be through the window to give sufficient scattered light, water control, so as to ensure the compactness of the plant.

two

Appropriate water and fertilizer

The maintenance of tequila should be controlled to water, it is suitable for lazy people to maintain the plant, sufficient light in summer can be properly watered once every 2 to 3 days, and so on after the soil is completely dry, other seasons will appropriately extend the watering time, to the winter temperature below 15 degrees, it is necessary to reduce watering, the temperature below 5 degrees will be cut off.

Because it has a very strong drought tolerance, more water is not conducive to its growth, winter control watering, dew-fed tequila can maintain its survival without watering.

Because of its drought tolerance and waterlogged growth habits, it is best to use sandy soil. Tequila does not need to be fertilized frequently, but only needs to be given thin fertilizer and water once a quarter during the growing season. If the soil is slightly fertile, it can even be fertilized once a year.

three

Basin change and soil selection

Because tequila likes a warm and dry environment, the drainage and air permeability of the soil must be good. It is best to choose loose and fertile sandy soil. Ordinary garden soil should also be mixed with 3% of river sand when planting to ensure good drainage. Containers should also choose flowerpots that are well drained and breathable.

Tequila grows very slowly and does not need to change the basin frequently. It is generally raised every 3 to 5 years to avoid changing the basin frequently. When putting on the basin, you can put granular soil and proper rotten organic fertilizer on the bottom of the basin.

Third, how to breed tequila

Tequila is usually propagated from ramets, but if you can buy its seeds, you can also try sowing and breeding.

(climb a ladder to pollinate tequila)

It is difficult to see tequila blossom because it only blossoms once in a lifetime. Most tequila varieties can be kept for about 80 years or 50 to 60 years to see it blossom. If you want to bear fruit, you have to move a ladder to pollinate its flowers.

If tequila is found to have lateral buds, it can be propagated separately, cut off the buds with soil, then put in a shaded and ventilated place to dry the wound, and then can be replanted on sandy soil.
