How to maintain the everlasting grass red flower

Red Honorary Sempervivum Gray Lady

Sedum (CRASSULACEAE) / evergreen grass (Sempervivum)

Alias: red smoked flower

Brief introduction

The rosette leaf of Hongxun flower is rosette, the leaf is flat, the leaf is pointed, the leaf margin has long villi, and the leaf back and leaf surface are smooth. The evergreen grass of this variety is a medium-sized variety. When the temperature difference is large in winter, the leaf is basically wine red, the leaf surface is smooth and shiny, and the leaves will become thicker. The lateral bud of the plant is green, which will turn wine red slowly, and the plant color will turn grayish red or green during summer dormancy. After a long time of breeding, the plants will slowly grow in groups, which is very beautiful.

Morphological characteristics

The rosette leaf of Hongxun flower is rosette, the leaf is flat, the leaf is pointed, the leaf margin has long villi, and the leaf back and leaf surface are smooth. The evergreen grass of this variety is a medium-sized variety. When the temperature difference is large in winter, the leaf is basically wine red, the leaf surface is smooth and shiny, and the leaves will become thicker. The lateral bud of the plant is green, which will turn wine red slowly, and the plant color will turn grayish red or green during summer dormancy. After a long time of breeding, the plants will slowly grow in groups. Lateral buds grow every year, and cubs usually sprout in early spring.

Reproduction method

The methods of reproduction include ramification and beheading. Generally use the method of reproduction, take off the cub, cut it in the slightly wet soil, and wait for the root in a cool and ventilated place.

Cultivation techniques

Soil can be peat mixed cinder, about 1:1, no specific proportion, mainly breathable, in order to isolate the contact between plants and soil surface, but also for more breathable, usually covered with clean river sand with particles, the size of river sand is 3 to 5 mm. Watering is dry before watering, do not water.

Growing environment

Spring and autumn are the growing periods, and the sun shines all day. Summer dormancy, ventilation and shading, water 3 to 4 times a month, a small amount of water at the edge of the basin. To keep the plant from drying up because it is too dry. Winter temperature below 3 degrees will gradually cut off water, below 0 degrees to keep the basin soil dry, try to keep no less than 5 degrees below zero, Hongxunhua is still very resistant to low temperature. The drying of basin soil at this temperature can basically pass the winter safely.

Matters needing attention

Usually watering as far as possible in the soil, well-ventilated places can be drenched, summer and winter as far as possible to avoid moisture to the center of leaves, easy to rot oh, try to avoid drenching plants, red flowers have no obvious diseases and insect pests, but pay attention to root powder. Carbofuran is buried in the soil for preventive use and avermectin is sprayed once a year in summer and winter.

Species classification

The genus sorted out 23 varieties in the 1930s. It has been popular in Japan since the middle of Meiji and introduced into China in recent years. Because the genus is easy to cross under natural and artificial conditions, its names and numbers are very confused, such as S.tectoram, which has 70 different scientific and cultivated names. There are 200 recorded species of the genus, including 45 conservatively speaking (including early natural hybrids).
