Culture methods and matters needing attention of ice lantern jade dew

Now many breeding succulent friends like to plant ice lantern jade dew, my favorite succulent plant is the jade dew series. Ice Lantern Yulu is the best of the Yulu family, named because its fleshy leaves are crystal clear and transparent as ice lanterns. Today, the editor will introduce to you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of ice lantern jade dew.

Brief introduction of ice lantern jade dew

Ice lantern jade dew is a succulent plant belonging to the 12-volume genus of Liliaceae. There are many kinds of jade dew, but ice lantern jade dew is another variety of jade dew and the best in jade dew. Its fleshy leaves are crystal clear and bright, as clear and transparent as ice lanterns, small and exquisite, very lovely.

Ice lantern jade dew is similar to the common Ji Yulu, but there is still a great difference in ornamental quality. The plant type of ice lantern jade dew is larger, the diameter of each plant is 7 to 10 meters, and it hardly produces lateral buds and does not grow in groups. The top of its fleshy leaves is very transparent, as transparent as ice. Its leaves are large and hairless, only slightly in the seedlings; the flat plant type is not like steamed bread, ice lantern jade dew will turn purple in strong light.

Culture method of ice lantern jade dew

1. Light

Ice lantern jade dew originated in South Africa, nature likes the cool environment, its growing period is spring and autumn. It is drought-resistant but not cold-resistant, so don't expose it to high temperature, humidity and scorching sun. Even so, it can not be placed in a too dark place, which will cause the plant shape loose, long and thin leaves, not conducive to ornamental. Therefore, the ice lantern jade dew should be placed in the semi-shade.

two。 Watering

Like most plants, when watering ice lantern jade dew, we should grasp the principle of "no dry, no watering, watering thoroughly". In order to avoid rotting roots, flowerpots should avoid stagnant water and long-term rain. When the soil is dry, it needs to be watered immediately. If the soil is too dry, it will cause the leaves of the plant to be withered and lifeless. It should be noted that to judge whether the potted soil is dry, you need to dig about three meters under your fingers, and if it is dry, you need to be watered.

3. Humidity

Ice lantern Yulu likes moist air, when the surrounding air is relatively dry, you can use a sprayer to spray water around it, thus increasing the humidity of its growing environment. If this does not have an obvious effect, you can cover it with a plant cover and spray it properly. In order to let the ice lantern jade dew breathable, the cover needs to be lifted every day and breathed for about ten minutes. It should be noted that sultry cultivation cannot be carried out in a hot summer.

4. Fertilizer

Ice lantern jade dew does not like fat, if you want to change the basin, it does not need to be fertilized. If you want the plant to grow faster, you can apply thin fertilizer twice in its growing season in spring and autumn. It should be noted that the plants just on the pot and the weaker ice lantern jade dew are prohibited from fertilizing so as not to burn the plants to death.

5. Change the basin

Unlike many plants, ice lantern jade dew needs to be changed almost every year. This is because the roots of ice lantern jade dew will secrete an acidic substance, which will gradually acidify the soil on which it lives, which will adversely affect the growth of the plant. Generally speaking, we set the time to change the basin in spring or autumn. If you find that it basically does not grow during the growing period of ice lantern jade dew, and there is little water content in the leaves, it is likely that the soil is too acidified and the basin should be changed immediately.

Matters needing attention of ice lantern jade dew

Ice lantern jade dew because of its thick cells, slow heat dissipation, so in summer should not pay attention to high temperature exposure; usually placed in scattered light conditions are good, cool place, watering should pay attention to dry and wet, watering thoroughly; ice lantern jade dew the most suitable growth temperature is 15-28 degrees, more than 35 degrees or less than 5 degrees will cause damage to the growth of ice lantern jade dew.

Ice lantern Yulu mesophyll has more moisture, so we should pay attention to ventilation and cooling in summer night. When planting ice lantern jade dew, choose the soil with good drainage and not easy to agglomerate.

Cultivation method of ice lantern jade dew

Ice lantern jade dew reproduction: basically rely on ramet, sowing, leaf insertion, beheading and other ways to reproduce.

The reproduction of Yulu can be combined with changing pots for ramets, or the young plants next to the mother plant can be dug up in the growing season, both with and without roots can survive, direct planting with roots, rootless seedlings should be hung for 1 to 2 days, and then planted after the wound is dry, the newly planted plants should not be watered too much, so as not to cause rot, and then carry out normal management after growing new roots. You can also choose strong and fleshy leaves in the growing season to keep the potted soil slightly moist, it is easy to take root at the base, and grow small buds, and so on the buds are slightly larger and then planted separately.

Sowing is also one of the breeding methods of Yulu, but through artificial pollination. The seeds can be sown with picking, and the sowing soil can be mixed with 3 parts of vermiculite, rotten leaf soil or peat soil. It is best to disinfect the soil at high temperature before sowing to eliminate the bacteria and eggs. Cover with a piece of glass after sowing and emerge in about 20 days. Remove the glass after emergence, pay attention to ventilation, do not make the soil too dry, when the seedlings are too crowded, pay attention to seedling transplanting. In the sowing seedlings, there may be some variant plants, among which the young plants with compact plant shape, fleshy leaves, high transparency of the "window" and prominent veins can be selected as seedlings for preservation. If young seedlings with different leaf colors are found, they should also be selected, which may be a precious variegated plant when they grow up.

The above content is about the ice lantern jade dew breeding methods and matters needing attention, ice lantern jade dew is the best in jade dew. It gets its name because its fleshy leaves are crystal clear and bright, as clear as an ice lantern. If you are interested, you might as well raise a basin by yourself.
