This kind of plant is called swallow's paw. Its leaves are round and small. It's very good to see on the branches. And the leaves of swallow's paw are small but thick and shiny. What's more peculiar is that the color of the leaves of swallow's paw sometimes changes with the change of light. Such a small potted plant, whether it is put at home or in the company, is a good decoration. Here, there are many ways to make swallows' paws explode. Let's have a look!
Just Hua Hua said that the leaf color of swallow's paw will change with the change of sunlight, so we can see that swallow's paw is a light loving plant. There is a great demand for light, especially in the growing period. If the light is not enough, it is likely to appear rotten roots. However, when the sun is direct in summer, you can have a little shade. In winter, you can rest assured to put it under the sun for maintenance
Watering has always been a big problem in flower cultivation. In spring and autumn, swallow's paw is watered once every two days on average, so as to maintain sufficient water to promote plant growth. Like many plants, swallow's paw will go into dormancy in the hot summer, when it can be watered every 7 days. In winter, because of the low temperature, even if the water is poured once a half month, there will be no problem
If you want the plants to grow vigorously, fertilization is inevitable. However, under normal circumstances, this kind of plant does not need fertilization. Unless you feel that the nutrients can't keep up during the peak season, then you can apply a little thin fertilizer water containing P and k elements to promote the growth of plants.
This kind of plant can also be cut, and the cutting methods can be divided into soil culture and water culture. Select the more robust branches, trim them into small segments of about 10 cm, and put the pruned branches in a cool place for a day or two, so that cutting will be easier to survive. There is no big difference between the cutting methods of hydroponics and soil culture. Two thirds of the branches are inserted into the substrate, and the germination can be seen in about half a month.
Although the swallow's paw is a green plant, it also has beautiful flowers. The small flower bracts are inlaid on the green branches and leaves. You can start a pot quickly if you like. After all, there are not many plants like this that can stand to see and keep.
