Culture methods of Saxifraga

Soil:

Saxifraga pot selected by the soil rich in organic matter for the best sandy soil, but also has a good drainage, can be self-made culture soil mixed with river sand.

Temperature:

Saxifraga likes warm environment, the most suitable growth temperature is between 15℃~25℃, Saxifraga is also relatively cold-resistant, can be in the low temperature of 5℃ winter.

However, the mosaic variety of tricolor Saxifraga is not cold-resistant, overwintering temperature is 15℃, if lower than this temperature will die, so winter warmth is also very necessary.

Light:

If there is insufficient light, the leaves will become dull. Summer indoor shade is also needed to avoid direct sunlight. Winter room temperature is kept above 5℃. Place in a sunny place near the south window of the room.

Watering:

Saxifraga growth period to a large number of watering, so that the pot soil fully moist, but can not let the pot immersed in water. Gradually reduce watering for two weeks after flowering. When the plant enters dormant state, as long as the pot soil is not dry enough.

Watering during the growth period, the basin soil should be kept moist, a little drought easy to make leaves wither, but also to prevent ponding in the basin, otherwise easy to rot roots.

Fertilization:

Fertilizers should be applied from beneath Saxifraga leaves to avoid contamination of leaves affecting plant growth. During the vigorous growth period in spring, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once every 20 days, and no fertilizer should be applied in high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.

propagation method

Saxifraga can be propagated by sowing and dividing plants. Sowing is carried out in March and April, and ramets can be carried out in all seasons, but the best two seasons are spring and autumn.

The cultivation method of Saxifraga

Alias: Saxifraga, stone lotus leaf, golden thread hanging Hibiscus family: Saxifraga family Saxifraga flowering: 5-8 months Flower language: continuous use Tip: family conservation. Home display: suitable for display in the hall, bedroom, study, balcony, windowsill, bathroom and other places. basic maintenance management

illumination

Likes damp environment.

temperature

The suitable temperature for growth is 20-28℃.

soil

Suitable for growth in neutral to slightly acidic, rich in organic matter, good drainage soil. The pot soil is prepared according to garden soil: rotten leaf soil: river sand =4:4:2.

watering

Like humid environment, spring to keep the soil moist, often to the page and around the water spray, increase air humidity. Summer and early autumn temperature is high, plants in a semi-dormant state, watering should be less. Winter should see dry see wet watering.

fertilization

During the vigorous growth period in spring, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once every 20 days, and no fertilizer should be applied in high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.

The name of the flower is Saurian.

Saxifraga alias stone lotus leaf, leaves and tiger ears are very similar, there are stripes above, often planted indoors as a bonsai. The following will tell you about Saxifraga cultivation methods and Saxifraga flower language knowledge.

Methods of cultivation of Saxifraga:

1. Breeding method of Saxifraga: Saxifraga mainly carries out subplant reproduction. When saxifraga plants reach a certain size, they grow small plants at the ends of the stolons. In spring, the small plants are cut off and transplanted into a large pot, which is then covered with thin plastic film. Pay attention to maintain a higher temperature, wait until the root system grows well, you can plant it in small pots, and put it in a damp place for about two weeks to resume growth.

2. Soil: The soil selected by potted Saxifraga is the best sandy soil rich in organic matter, and it also has good drainage, which can be mixed with self-made culture soil and river sand.

3, temperature: Saxifraga likes warm environment, the most suitable growth temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees, Saxifraga is also relatively cold-resistant, can winter in the low temperature of 5 degrees, but the mosaic variety of tricolor Saxifraga is not cold-resistant, winter temperature is 15 degrees, if lower than this temperature will die, so winter warmth is also very necessary.

Watering: Saxifraga likes a humid environment and needs higher humidity during the growing season, so the pot soil should always be kept moist, but it cannot accumulate water. In addition to proper watering in summer, water spraying should be carried out to increase the humidity in the air and the humidity of the leaf surface. Saxifraga will have a period of dormancy after flowering in spring and summer. At this time, you can water less and keep the pot dry. You should change the pot or renew it after flowering every spring.

5. Light: Saxifraga should be cultivated in a semi-shady environment, and it will be difficult to survive in a place with direct sunlight all day. Because too strong light will lead to leaf burns, too weak light, then the leaves will not be bright enough color, so in spring, summer, autumn three seasons should be shaded treatment, with brighter scattered light for light treatment.

6, fertilization: Saxifraga in addition to planting when a small amount of decomposed base fertilizer, fertilizer growth season can be applied once every two weeks thin liquid fertilizer, if the concentration is too high will cause plant death.

7, pest control

The main diseases are gray mold and powdery mildew. Gray mold mainly damages leaves. Spots often occur along leaf margins, semicircular or rounded to irregular, watery, dark green to brown. When the humidity is high, the diseased part expands rapidly and seriously, the whole leaf turns black and brown and rotted, and the diseased part produces gray mold layer. 800-fold solution of 28% griseamine WP and 800-fold solution of 50% carbendazim can be used to control powdery mildew. Pests may include mealybugs and whiteflies.

Saxifraga's Flower Language:

Saxifraga's scientific name is very strange, from the Latin literal translation is rock cutter, this is because Saxifraga likes to grow in the back of the mountain and rock cracks. Over time, perhaps he could really cut through the rock! Therefore, Saxifraga's floral language is-persistent.
