How do you raise 12 succulent plants? Deep pot + breathable succulent plant cuttage propagation method

Plants of the genus Twelve are found in the cool coastal deserts of Cape Province in southern South Africa. Frequent Atlantic and Indian Ocean, less rain and foggy throughout the year, a small amount of rainfall occurs in winter, the average temperature is 12 ℃-15 ℃, similar to our spring and autumn, so this is their peak growing season. At present, part of the breeding is through horticulture or cultivated varieties, and the culture conditions are relatively more relaxed.

How to raise succulent plants in twelve volumes

1. The choice of flowerpots:

The root system of the 12-volume genus is more developed than other genera, so it is best to choose a deep basin whose height is larger than its diameter, and the material had better be mud tile or pottery basin with strong permeability, but the family culture is too bulky and unattractive, so resin, ceramic and plastic pots can also be used on the premise of increasing the permeability of the medium. Among them, plastic basin has become the first choice of family breeding because of its light weight, anti-aging and low price.

2. Soil selection:

According to the convenience of collecting materials around the country, you can use peat soil, peat soil, or rotten leaf soil rich in humus; breathable light materials such as broken red-turn, river sand, mountain weathered sand, red jade soil, light stone, blue stone, perlite, etc.; breathable and water-retaining rice husk charcoal, plant ash, etc., which are rich in phosphorus and potassium, are mixed at 3:6:1, and conditionally add a small amount of calcium-containing eggshell powder, bone powder, shell or coral powder (be sure to rinse repeatedly, remove salt). Sift out the dust, the particle diameter is 0.5-3mm. According to the humidity of the planting environment, the air permeability of the basin and the personal planting habits, the proportion of humus or lightweight materials is added and reduced.

3. Water source requirements:

Tap water can be dried for a day, of course, it is best to choose soft water such as Rain Water.

4. Lighting requirements:

The original introduction said that 12 volumes belong to semi-shade, but in fact, under the condition of healthy roots, full light can be carried out gradually from late autumn to early summer, and the light is strong at the end of summer and early autumn. in order to prevent burns, 50 {bf} sunshade net or two layers of window screens can be used. A small amount of Kleenex can be covered with one or two layers of Kleenex on a single plant (this method can also be used to slow down the adaptation period of newly purchased introduced plants).

5. Air requirements:

Air is often ignored, in fact, fresh air is very important to increase plant disease resistance and reduce the occurrence of insect pests (so some plants in a stuffy or airtight greenhouse often crack or shrink in a different environment)
