Flower cultivation skills: culture skills of sea anemone turnip

The peculiar-sounding plant of the sea anemone is the leopard skin flower of the family Asclepiadaceae, also known as Cape Raikare, which is native to tropical Africa. It is a large succulent plant. Its plant is cylindrical in shape, covered with spikes, and its flowers are large and similar to bells and trumpets, covered with leopard-shaped spots and protuberances.

It lies in that I didn't know much about this warm, dry, drought-tolerant succulent plant before I saw it in the home of a friend who was crazy about it. I looked at the editor with a look of interest, but this friend explained his breeding skills to me. Now let the warm elder gardener teach everyone.

Temperature: sea anemone is heat-resistant and not cold-resistant, so the most suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 degrees. It may be semi-dormant when it is more than 30 degrees in summer, but it can continue to grow when it moves to a shady area, while it can not be lower than 10 degrees in winter. too low temperature can lead to death.

Watering: this kind of plant is so drought-resistant that it can be irrigated after all the soil is dry in summer, and the principle of watering during the growing period is that it can keep the air warm and moist at ordinary times, but it can not be watered in winter. This plant has no obvious dormancy period, which is one of the differences between it and other succulent plants.

Lighting: it likes dry and sunny environments, but it should pay attention to moderate shade in hot summers and keep plenty of light in other seasons. Only by receiving enough light can the sea anemone grow healthily and rapidly.

Soil: like most succulent plants, the mixed soil of peat, vermiculite and perlite can be used for breeding sea anemone. It is necessary to keep the soil loose and permeable. Do not accumulate water in the basin, rather dry than wet. Too much water can cause its roots to rot or the whole plant to rot and wither.

Fertilization: because of its rapid growth and relatively large size, it has higher requirements for fertilizer than other succulent plants. When planting, the bottom fertilizer needs to be thick, and it can be fertilized once a month during the growing period.

Note:

Sea anemone needs to be cultured in a well-ventilated environment, and light is also very important. in addition, its reproduction is mainly based on sowing and cutting, and its operation is more or less the same as that of general succulent plants.
