Strategies for planting sprouting succulent plants

Succulent plants are literal. Succulent plants are called succulent plants because they are watery and succulent. Watery and succulent plants show that they have a lot of water, which is still the first thing to understand. They are different from herbaceous plants. Growing grass flower base is 1 to 2 days to supply water, and succulent plants themselves have a lot of water storage.

Now online shopping is so prosperous, usually send express is not the basis of soil plants, such plants received, about the primary preferences is a big question, first of all what soil, this question does not have a certain standard, soil requirements can be breathable, but rookie best not to use vegetable garden soil or flower bed soil, because these soil after watering briefly frozen, resulting in plant roots airtight death or rotten roots. There are a lot of breathable soils around us, such as: river sand (Need to wash clean, remove powder, particles 1 to 5 mm can be detailed to see the needs of plants) Cinder (Remove the powder after crushing, and then wash away the dust, the particle size is usually 1 to 3 mm, the large can be placed on the bottom of the pot) There is also red brick, this needs to be broken hard, made into small 3 mm particles (I have seen flower friends so done) These are the plants we usually get around, these plants can mix a small amount of peat or not, they can raise succulent plants.

Many flower friends will ask, my city does not have river sand and cinder, hey, unless the city you live in is not our country, the construction site around us is full of river sand, but it is best not to get sea sand, because sea sand is very salty, freshwater sand is natural, usually the inland foundation is freshwater sand, the coastal city foundation is sea sand, go to the construction site to ask others the key, people will give. The second is coal cinder, coal balls can be seen in every city in our country, only today's big cities have eliminated coal ball furnaces because of environmental doubts, but there are many breakfast stalls, night markets, small food stalls and canteens around you, which can be seen by burnt coal balls (baidu can see images, kite blogs also have blog posts), not burnt raw coal cinder. The cinders of these stalls are broken (many flower friends respond that the cinders are all powdered after they are crushed, because the quality of the briquettes is not good, and there is too much soil, so we can only get a few more briquettes.) after sieving, washing and drying is enough. Then there is red jade soil, pumice, diatomite, deer marsh soil, vermiculite, perlite, peat, these flower markets, taobao have to sell. There are many kinds of soil, can be mixed together, can also be a single plant to raise plants, whether it is mixed or single, the soil can be breathable.

What is breathable? that is to say, when you pour water on the bottom of the basin, it will flow out immediately. This is ideal, according to the different plants to add some peat or something. What kind of plant material to use according to your own habits, there is no rule must use what, so primary lovers only need to plant the breathable, sprinkle water into the basin floor immediately out of water, so it is OK. The least plant material should have a rough idea, you don't have to ask what kind of plant material to use every day, the kite plant material: cinder mixed with a small amount of peat, pure cinder, pure river sand or river sand mixed with a small amount of peat, sometimes with perlite or vermiculite.

Next, let's talk about pots. Pots are originally not elegant. Plastic, iron, wood, porcelain, purple sand, containers that can be thought of can be used to grow flowers. But they require that the bottom of the basin should have a permeable hole, if there is no porous hole, the moisture is very difficult to control, although many MM like to use a glass or something, the time is short, there is no hole, usually pay attention to sprinkling, it is still possible to survive, if it is a long-term preference, it is best to change with a porous hole. Pots are not the most critical. There are all kinds of kite pots, including pottery, porcelain, purple sand, plastic, paper, chocolate boxes and ice cream boxes, which can be used to grow flowers according to the root system of the plant.

Water supply. The soil and basin mentioned above are not the first and foremost, the first thing is to sprinkle water. When you choose good soil and good pots, sprinkling water is not mastered well, and the same will be lost. First of all, take the naked root plants that are ready for potting, for example, the plants that usually have to be potted are dried after root repair and sun drying, and use slightly wet soil as far as possible. Do not supply water, what is slightly wet soil? many beginner flower friends have no standard to measure, how to slightly wet, use our hands to feel, after mixing the soil, give some water, get the soil to pinch up into a ball, loosen the hands and the soil will come loose. This situation is OK, if you do not master it well, that is, if you grasp the soil with your hands, there is no wet feeling on your hands, and the soil looks wet. It is best for the soil to basin the plants at this time, and the carbendazim powder that is dry in the soil can be stirred together. If you want to increase the prevention of carbofuran or carbendazim from invading capillaries, pour into the preventive drugs after mixing the slightly wet soil. Mix well with something and you can stand by. Plants on slightly wet soil, usually in a cool and ventilated area, will dry out for about 5 to 10 days, depending on the season and environment.

After the dry basin soil, you can give the second water, this time the water supply is the most important, you can use carbendazim water or pure water, irrigate around the basin, so that the water can gradually infiltrate to the root of the plant, so that the newly rooted capillary root will not simply dry again. The second water supply is based on the permeability of the plant material to give how much, how to distinguish, that is to say, after this water supply, the water can gradually infiltrate into the roots of the plant is appropriate, this degree primary lovers may not be easy to master, but the water mixed with carbendazim, water to give more will not have too much doubt, the best rookie is less water, if the hand shake to more, it will simply rot the root. With regard to the water supply of the plant that has just been put into the pot, there is still no doubt, and there will not be much doubt if there is more than a little bit, and there is usually no doubt about good ventilation.

The most difficult thing to master is the water supply of dormant plants. Many succulent plants will dormant in the high and low temperature periods of summer and winter, especially this year's summer. That heat, ah, is higher than before, because the temperature is too high. Many plants die in dormancy due to resistance. Some plants have good resistance. When the temperature gradually comes down in autumn, because they do not grasp the fluctuation and amount of sprinkling water. There are not a few flower friends who have led to a large number of deaths, and veterans are not necessarily immune. In summer, the environment of water supply is different from north to south, the amount of water supply is different, and different plants give different water. I can't finish talking about three days and three nights. Here's a simple way to get started with kites.

When the summer temperature is gradually slipping, we must hold back and control our own hands. Do not look at the climate forecast that will be low within 10 days. The climate forecast is not necessarily accurate. At the end of summer, when thunderstorms often occur, the water supply should be paid attention to. The plants at the end of summer are very thirsty after the summer heat. At this time, we can't let them have enough to drink. Why, just like we exercise the same, after strenuous exercise. We will also feel very thirsty, as a result of exercise out of too much sweat, this time on the need to replenish water, if we drink too much later, we can not bear it, it is necessary to divide several times in order to dry enough to gradually quench our thirst. The same is true of plants, which consume nutrients and water in summer. at this time of the flood, plants immediately absorb water desperately, and for a while, the leaves become plump and loose, and the remaining water does not go away. the temperature is slightly high and rotten from the root to the top of the plant, which is why many flower friends spend the summer and hang up many plant factors in autumn, even sprinkling water in the rain.

The detailed method should be, after the temperature comes down, don't rush to give the flood. Plants at this time need water and nutrients most. We can only supply water step by step. The summer plants are weak by contrast, and the resistance is not very good. The time dilution point of the water supply is safe. Do not give too much at once. Many primary lovers do not know what is step by step. Explain here. Sprinkle water step by step, for example, when we irrigate about one-sixth of the water in the basin soil for the first time, that is to say, there is water in 1 cm under the soil layer, and when it dries through, the soil layer is moist, and then after drying through the basin soil, the soil layer is moist (some flower friends use drips to calculate, generally speaking, no matter how the soil is watered, everyone's method is different). Step by step is based on the condition of plants to supply water, to master this degree through long experience accumulation, as the saying goes: sprinkling water for ten years, that is, sprinkling water is to rely on experience to accumulate, usually flower friends' plants, through the habit period, sprinkling water is still very easy to master. More investigation, more questions, is the primary lovers to experience, different plants with different water demand, are gradually accumulated in the breeding process, the regional climate affects the plant water demand.

Kites expect all succulent lovers to read more materials before buying plants, or at least know about them, so that your plants don't die when they are ignorant. With regard to the kinds of things you don't know, you'd rather have less water and raise them gradually, rather than in a hurry, thinking about how big you will grow up in a while. As long as the plant does not die, after a year, the basic habits will be understood, and the coming year will be able to deal with it normally. If you can take notes, it is still very good for long-term management. The above point is the approximate water supply situation, detailed types of detailed treatment, waiting for flower friends to understand by themselves.

Do not copy mechanically, the materials are dead, not necessarily suitable for your growth environment, to be sensitive and flexible, so that the plants can be raised very well. There is even less water in the dormant period, since it is dormant, you only need to keep the roots dry and die. A small amount of water is still necessary. Family-raised succulent plants are usually succulent, because the pots are small and the soil is less. If all dormant periods do not give a drop of water, some species will die completely. With regard to water supply, flower friends should refer to more materials according to their own environment to grasp it sensitively.

After talking about soil, basin and water, we are going to talk about plants. With the prosperity of the Internet, there may be many exotic plants, and there are more and more ways to buy succulent plants. About primary lovers, how to deal with newly arrived plants? let's talk about kites briefly.

Succulent plants, usually the seller will take off the basin at the time of delivery, on the one hand, it is for the safety of transportation, and on the other hand, it can prevent germs from migrating to the new host's home with the basin soil, usually through long-distance transportation of plants before shipment. the seller will hang soft, one is for good packaging, not briefly off the leaves, and the other is to remove part of the water, so that it will not rot in the long-term express delivery. Water-deficient plants are easier to feed, despite the soft ones, kites usually read when they receive goods. If they are too plump, they will trim the roots and hang them for a few days. If they are roots, the time to dry them will be longer, one month to two months, only dehydration will make the new roots faster. The reason is very simple, plants are thirsty, it is necessary to drink water, they all rely on the roots to absorb water. If the plump plant enters the basin, immediately supply water or the basin soil is too wet, the new root is not simple to grow out, because the plant itself is not how lack of water, you let them drink water, how to drink into ah, if the basin soil is too wet, it will rot the root. This is also a misunderstanding of many primary lovers, always thinking that the fuller the plants, the better, because the plants we buy online come from different places, if they are raised naturally, plump plants give some water, and they can still bear it. if it is about plants from high temperature and humidity (such as greenhouse, or flood and fat), then dehydration is necessary, otherwise the water is very large and simply rotten. The sedum plant is fine, and the foundation on the express delivery road is almost dehydrated. If it is about spheres, tile reeds, and roots, these very succulent succulent plants, it is necessary to go home to trim the roots and expose them to the sun. 3 to 5 days may not be safe, because we do not have to know where they come from, dehydration is more conducive to the re-growth of plants, and the ability to get used to our growth environment more quickly.

When there is a new plant, many flower friends come to ask the kite, can you give the fertilizer after the pot, dear, can you take it easy first, although the kite also wants to raise the plant very well and bigger, for the plants that have just been put on the pot and have not taken the pot too much, it is still not appropriate to give fertilizer, and the roots have not grown well. Can you absorb them when you give fertilizer? Usually when the plant growth is relatively stable, a small amount of thin fertilizer can be given, and fertilizers usually have slow-acting fertilizer, water fertilizer, green manure and so on. Sometimes the kite will give some plants some water and fertilizer, this is easy to operate, it can be mixed in the water, and then there is slow-acting fertilizer, this is still a good contrast, when farming can also be mixed in the soil, throw a few grains on the soil surface, the comparison is convenient. Green and fat kites have never been necessary. Succulent plants usually grow in relatively barren sandy soil, simply without any nutrients, relying on Rain Water's moist, although they have no nutrients, they grow very healthy, and the colors become more natural and beautiful. Some flower friends will worry, how can they grow without nutrients, ah, hey, there are growth elements they need in the water, in the soil, in the air, do not worry about this, although we do not give any fertilizer, perhaps the plants raised are not as big as others, not as strong as others, but they also bloom and change with the changes of the seasons, and that is, more and more healthy skin and fat plants. The scenery can only be temporary, and some may die in a bad climate. With the high temperature of 2013, the loss of many flower friends should be greater than before.

Let's talk about light. Plants need sunlight, but not all plants love intense sunlight. Many primary lovers will ask whether kites can be dried as soon as they are on the pot. Yes, plants need sunshine, but we also have to wait for them to grow stable before we see the sun. If we are eager to let them see the sun, not only the root system is not good, but even the plants themselves may gradually dehydrate and die. We should wait for them to take root in a cool and ventilated environment, see the sun step by step, and wait for them to get used to it before they can bask in the sun. Growing succulent plants usually need sunlight, and when they are dormant, they still have to avoid the cool sun. For example, in summer, many succulent plants are dormant. What they need to do at this time is sunshade, ventilation and lack of water. This kite ride, after going out for five days, came back and saw that the sunshade net had been blown open by a strong wind. All the raw stone flowers and sedum under the mouth were white and dried. Sun-resistant species are scorched leaves and sunburn, but it will take a long time to recover. Of course, there are also many sun-resistant plants that grow in summer, such as the strong thorn cactus, which can be exposed in the cool sun, but it is not good and not beautiful, such as the great red eagle and imperial pill of kites, under such a high temperature in 2013, cement soil surface can be fried at the temperature of cooked eggs, appears to be more and more healthy and skinny, beautiful. Each flower friend can give the corresponding light to the plant according to his own living environment. If the real environment is not good and lack of light, it can only be made up manually. There are many lights on the market, cold light and hot light, and the plants that want to bloom can bloom and pollinate artificially. Only with enough light can plants grow healthily and beautifully.

By the way, when it comes to farming, there is nothing wrong with some primary enthusiasts who start farming as soon as they come up. Under the condition of high plant prices, choosing farming is a good way to contrast. As for rookies, it is still relatively difficult. Because it is difficult to compare the cultivated plants in the first half of the year, once the water is cut off, the whole army may be wiped out, and the precision of the comparison, such as the disinfection of basin soil, is still relatively difficult. To prevent the invasion of bacteria. In the first half of the year, the soil of the seedling tray should not be too boring, it should be regularly sprayed with carbendazim water, ventilated, and scattered light, and gradually direct light, pay attention not to sunburn seedlings, high temperature presents stiff seedlings will be troublesome. Seedling management as long as a good grasp of light and humidity, the foundation will be able to gradually grow. Details of farming and reproduction can be found in the kite farming blog.

Finally, when it comes to succulent diseases and insect pests, this question is still troublesome to compare. Usually kites are mixed in the soil with soil pest or carbofuran to prevent them. With regard to rookies, more diseases and insect pests break out in summer and winter. First, they are not prevented. Second, they do not know where to start. The plant materials that are usually prevented are not easy to get diseases and insect pests, but this cannot be said to be over. In summer and winter, all plants should be sprayed with avermectin, which may be used to get rid of scale, such as scale control. Don't spray those with powder, you can fill the root with some potion. In this way, it can play an excellent prevention. The rookie's most simple hit is the red spider and the pink introduction, and some flower friends have lost their pots in a row. Hey, this is not the way to cure the root, because as long as you only need to raise plants, there may also be pink scale red spiders, so you must do a good job to prevent them. With detailed methods to get rid of diseases and insect pests, this is the foundation. You can refer to the blog article introducing pink scale by kites.

Open the chatterbox will not stop, while writing blog posts flower friends constantly ask questions, hey, kites are not omnipotent, many common sense kites are not clear, the need and a wide range of succulent lovers to move forward to learn together.

Some species of succulent plants grow slowly and fast, they can bring us casual surprises, the main idea of raising succulent plants is not how fast they can grow, but that they can show us natural beauty. Keeping them can bring us physical and mental pleasure, we can find a pure land attributed to the soul in reinforced concrete, the nature of the temper will gradually change after raising succulent plants for a long time, and those who are not patient can also become very patient. This is the mana brought to us by succulent plants, we should not abandon short setbacks, and the kite will advance with us.
