Kui Fengyu (cactus family)

Euphorbia angustifolia is a perennial succulent herb of cactus family and planet. it is native to the central part of the Mexican plateau and becomes a column when it grows up. It is a treasure collected by botanical gardens and succulent plant lovers, and has high horticultural and ornamental value.

Growth habits of Jade Fengyu

Meng Fengyu likes warm, dry and sunny environment, has a certain degree of cold resistance, drought resistance, slightly resistant to semi-shade, but also resistant to strong light, afraid of waterlogging. During the growing period, sufficient light will be given, if the light is not enough, the white stars on the plant surface will decrease, and the red color of the red leaves will fade. Relatively speaking, the pure green green glazed Phoenix jade is slightly shady, but if the long-term lack of light will also make the fleshy stem thinner, affecting the ornamental. The suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 ℃, and the winter temperature is not lower than 5 ℃.

Breeding method of Jade Fengyu

The maintenance of Fengyu usually uses cutting propagation, which can be operated all year round except in the hot summer and humid period, and it is easy to survive, and the spring and autumn season is the most suitable. Generally after the full flowering period, combined with shaping and pruning, the sturdy branches of the current year are selected as cuttings to remove a section of leaves and inserted into plain sand, and other loose quality. Heat preservation, moisturizing and shade thinning can take root and be planted in time, and the Phoenix jade can blossom the following year.

Culture method of Fengyu Fengyu

1. Soil:

Jade Fengyu has no strict requirements on soil and can grow normally in the range. In order to ensure the quality and yield of products, fertile loam with strong fertilizer and water conservation should be selected for cultivation.

2. Temperature:

Fengyu likes warm and humid climate and good ventilation conditions, high temperature season should avoid strong wind and cool ventilation environment, in order to prevent diseases and insect pests. When it is cold at the end of autumn, the pot plants should be moved into the room for cultivation, so that they can fully receive the light, and the plants after flowering should be pruned and pruned again.

3. Fertilization:

Fengyu has little demand for fertilizer. During the growing season, it is better to apply thin fertilizer and water once a month than to thicken. If you can only keep room temperature in winter, you need to stop fertilizing, and the basin soil is slightly dry, so that the plant can survive the winter safely.

4. Watering:

"Fengyu" seedlings from the plant began to water frequently, especially in high temperature and dry weather, pay attention to keep the basin soil moist. In addition, in the case of plenty of sunshine, do not pour water directly on the ball, so as not to burn the ball with spots.

The main value of Jade Fengyu

Fengyu is a famous representative species of the genus Cactaceae, which is native to Texas in the United States. Fengyu can be crossed among genera, and there are many variation types of the original species. Some countries have done a lot of work on the breeding of these two varieties, such as "Chaodou, Yamamoto Dou, Turtle Shell Dou, Garden Dou" selected by Japan, "Enzuka Fengyu, Hongye Fengyu" and so on. China's breeding of "Dou Jin, Bi Fangyu" and so on.

Thus it can be seen that its horticultural value is higher, and its ornamental value is also higher. It is a treasure that botanical gardens and succulent plant lovers are keen to collect. Because the reproduction coefficient of this kind of plant is very low and its variability is large, it is not easy to preserve all kinds of horticultural varieties. The method of tissue culture may be an effective way to solve the propagation and germplasm conservation of various horticultural varieties of Planet and Fengyu, and it also has the significance of protecting endangered plants. There is no report of successful tissue culture of this plant at home and abroad.
