It belongs to succulent plants, although the leaves are not as fat and thin as other succulent plants, but it can also accumulate a lot of water, and has a certain drought tolerance.Usually watering does not need to be too frequent, especially in high temperature summer.Plant growth rate is slow, to reduce the amount of water, so that the best pot soil partial dry, to avoid root rot.
It blooms more frequently and needs more nutrients.From May, the growth rate will accelerate, and it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently.Under normal circumstances, a thin nitrogen fertilizer is applied every half month.In June, the flower buds will grow, and phosphate fertilizer should be applied frequently to promote flowering.
It likes acidic soil, preferably loose and breathable.When breeding, river sand, rotten leaf soil and garden soil can be mixed and prepared, so that its needs can be basically met.Note that the soil should be disinfected before use to avoid insect eggs or pathogens.
Pruning should be carried out in time during the cultivation period.Its flowers are lotus-shaped, flower stems from the leaves will produce a lot of flower stems, after flowering to cut off the flower stems in time, but also appropriate pruning branches and leaves.Cut off some overgrown branches and leaves to increase its light transmission, so that it can blossom next year.
During the breeding period, we should pay attention to the control of temperature, because its cold resistance and high temperature resistance are relatively poor.It should be moved indoors in time in winter, and heat preservation measures should be taken when necessary.In summer, when the temperature is high, it should be shaded in time, and ventilation and cooling treatment should be strengthened.
