TYA is a fleshy plant, also known as green flame. It belongs to a large family of Crassulaceae. Its fleshy leaves are small and delicate, showing an inverted goose egg shape. The front end is a clear triangle of water chestnut, and each leaf begins to sink inward from the center. Short thorns with hard bristles on the edge of the leaves. The whole leaf is compact and orderly arranged in lotus shape. Tiya's fleshy leaves are usually dark green, but in autumn and winter, Tiya's fleshy leaves will turn red from the edge to the center, like a flame, which is very unique. So let's see how TYA's meat turns red.

1. Light

TYA is fond of mild sunshine, dry soil and strong adaptability. When the temperature is not enough in winter, there will be a short dormancy period. In order to turn red, we must put it in the place where the sun shines directly in summer and autumn, but not in the sun. At the same time, enough sunlight can also prevent the excessive growth of the meat.

2. Water

The rapid growth stage of TYA multi meat is in spring, early summer and autumn every year. In order to turn TYA multi meat into flame red in autumn and winter, the amount of water must be controlled. In summer, water should be sprinkled in the morning and after the sun sets to keep the soil moist; in spring and autumn, water should be sprinkled before noon; in winter, water should be sprinkled at the time of the highest temperature every day. Usually at noon or after lunch.

3. Soil

TYA's fleshy soil especially likes dry soil, so potted soil should be a mixed soil with good fluffy texture and special air permeability, which can be composed of common flowerbed soil plus river sediment and bone powder of animals and plants. This kind of soil not only has good water flow permeability, but also can provide sufficient nutrients for TYA. Cultivating TYA's fleshy soil in this kind of soil will make its fleshy leaves in the production period. To store enough energy is the premise to ensure that it will turn red like a flame in autumn and winter.

Lovely fleshy Tia.

4. Temperature

When the whole weather temperature is kept at 15-20 ℃, and the difference between the maximum temperature of day and night is greater than or equal to 6 ℃, the color of the meat leaves of tyados gradually changes from light green to dark green; when the whole weather temperature is kept at 5-15 ℃, and the difference between the maximum temperature of day and night is greater than or equal to 10 ℃, the color of the meat leaves of tyados will change from dark when it is cold in the morning and after the sun sets, and when it is sunny at noon. When the temperature is less than or equal to 10 ℃ or when there is rain and snow in winter, the color change process of TYA's meat will accelerate.
