Rainbow jade alias eardrop grass, corn kernel (commonly known as grape palm on the market), small succulent plants. Its leaves are fleshy, oblong, about 1 cm long, alternate. Flowers yellow, stars. In autumn and winter season or under strong light irradiation, some or all of the leaves turn bright red. The tip of the leaf is slightly transparent, at this time the leaves are red and green, bright in color, such as rainbow jade, so it gets this name.

The cultivation method of rainbow jade

Rainbow jade likes the environment with obvious temperature difference between day and night. It has strong adaptability to temperature and can grow well between 10℃ and 28℃. In autumn and winter, the temperature decreases, the light increases, and the fleshy leaves gradually turn red. Therefore, artificial cooling in the cultivation process can improve the ornamental value.

Rainbow jade on ventilation requirements higher, the use of red pottery a strong ventilation flowerpot is the best.

More like sunshine, and do not need too much water, sunshine time will increase after the whole plant will turn red, plants grow upward, many years after the old plant branches, must pay attention to watering, too much water will lead to branch rot.

The following five key points can be mastered:

1, temperature: Rainbow jade likes warm environment, afraid of cold, winter to keep above 6℃, because the winter temperature is about 10℃ and sunny when the color is the most beautiful.

2, light: Rainbow jade likes light, not tolerant of shade, shaded environment easy to grow, and long-term will weaken, even death. Summer should pay attention to shading.

3. Watering: Hongzhiyu is more drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging. Watering must be carried out alternately with dry and wet. No watering!

4. Fertilization: Hongzhiyu is afraid of large fertilizer and thick fertilizer, easy to apply in small quantities and combined with watering.

5, other: Rainbow jade indoor maintenance, every 2 weeks or so to rotate 180 degrees, to prevent uneven growth is ok.

Rainbow jade has few diseases, occasionally leaf spot disease and stem rot disease.

Leaf spot disease is mainly caused by poor ventilation and high air humidity. It can be controlled with systemic fungicides. Improving ventilation is the key to prevent leaf spot.

Stem rot is mostly caused by too wet a winter environment. Healthy upper stem segments should be cut for propagation, while avoiding excessive watering in winter and keeping the pot soil slightly dry.
