How to breed and cultivate Jasper?

Jasper is native to tropical America and likes high temperature and semi-shade environment. the suitable temperature for growth is 25 ℃. The room temperature in winter should be kept between 10 ℃ and 15 ℃, otherwise the leaves will fall, and if it is less than 0 ℃, it will be frozen to death.

Under the condition of pot culture, it is difficult to bear fruit, so it is difficult to propagate by cuttage. Due to different species and varieties, some bean greens have aboveground stems, which can be cut from branches. The cuttings are 5-6cm long, with 1-2 leaves in each section and inserted into the plain sand. If there is no stem above ground, the thick leaves can be cut, a petiole of 2 cm in length is taken, and inserted into coarse sand or vermiculite. At room temperature of about 25 ℃, the petiole base can take root after 3 weeks, young leaves can sprout after 40 days, and the seedlings can be divided into pots when 4 leaves grow.

Jasper is strong, and its cultivation and maintenance are relatively simple. The three seasons of spring, summer and autumn must be protected by shade, and oblique sunlight can be seen in winter. Its leaves are thick, covered with a waxy layer, strong water storage capacity, low transpiration, and do not need too much water even in the peak growing season. When the spring drought season and winter heating are sufficient, the indoor air humidity should be increased and the leaves can be sprayed. Summer muggy should strengthen ventilation, otherwise it is easy to defoliate.

How to breed and cultivate Jasper

Jasper, also known as pepper grass, commonly cultivated varieties are flower and leaf Jasper, white leaf Jasper and so on. Jasper is native to tropical America and likes warm, humid and semi-shady environment. The suitable temperature for growth is 25-28 ℃. In winter, room temperature should be kept between 10-15%, otherwise leaves will fall, and less than 10 ℃ will be frozen to death. It is appropriate to loosen the fertile and well-drained soil.

Under pot conditions, bean green is very difficult to bear fruit, so it is often propagated by cutting or split-plant method. Due to different species, some bean greens have aboveground stems, which can be cut from branches. The cuttings are 5 to 6 centimeters long, with two leaves in each section and inserted into the plain sand. If there is no stem above ground, the thick leaves can be cut, put on a petiole 1 to 2 cm long, and inserted into coarse sand or vermiculite. At room temperature of about 25 ℃, the base of petiole can take root for about 3 weeks, young leaves can sprout after 40 days, and the seedlings can be divided into pots when 4 leaves grow. Ramet should be carried out in spring and autumn.

If your Jasper is seeded, you might as well try sowing the seeds and cover the pot with a black plastic bag until the seeds germinate, otherwise the light will inhibit the germination and the seeds will not be unearthed for about 20 days.

Potted Jasper should choose 5 parts of rotten leaf soil or peat soil, 3 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of coarse sand mixed with sifted culture soil + watering according to different seasons and weather, grasp the principle of seeing dry and wet, and avoid stagnant water in the basin; in dry climate and summer, it is advisable to spray clear water on stems and leaves once or twice a day to keep the leaves green. Rarefied liquid fertilizer is applied about every half month during the growth period. Jasper is more shady, the four seasons can be placed indoors with bright scattered light to cultivate, spring, autumn and winter can see more sunshine. In summer, you should pay attention to shade, avoid strong sunlight, cultivate potted flowers on a north-facing balcony or windowsill or under the outdoor shade, and pay attention to ventilation and cooling, watering should not be too much, hot and humid in summer, the base stem mouth is easy to rot, winter room temperature should not be less than 12 ℃, when room temperature is low, watering should be controlled and fertilization should be stopped, otherwise it is also easy to cause rotten roots and leaves, in order to make branches and leaves plump and green. A short cut was carried out every 2 ~ 3 years to promote the germination of new shoots.

Jasper plant shape plump, leaves as thick as beans, bright green four seasons: often used for interior decoration, such as in the study, bedroom, living room desk, several or desktop, green and bright, elegant and pleasant, quite loved by people.

How to cultivate Jasper?

Jasper is native to tropical America, likes the warm and humid semi-shady environment, fears high temperature and avoids strong light, so it is suitable to be cultivated in loose, fertile and drained soil. It can be propagated by cutting or dividing plants.

In late spring and early summer, the top strong branches were cut 10cm long, with 3 or 4 leaves, inserted into the plain sand, kept moist, and rooting about 3 weeks later. If there is no aboveground stem, the leaves can also be inserted, cut the fat leaves, take the long petiole of 1~2cm, insert them into coarse sand or vermiculite, and sprout young leaves after 40 days at room temperature of about 25 ℃. Ramet should be carried out in spring and autumn.

Watering should be based on seasonal and weather changes, dry and wet. If there is stagnant water in the basin, it will cause rotten roots. If the climate is dry or hot, it is advisable to spray water basket on the stems and leaves once or twice a day. During the growth period, rarefied liquid fertilizer was applied once every 3 to 4 weeks.' Jasper is more shade-tolerant and can be cultured indoors with bright scattered light. Direct sunlight should be avoided in summer, and the suitable room temperature for overwintering is 12: 15 ℃. A short cut every 2 years can promote the germination of new branches and make the plant keep the branches and leaves plump and green.
