How to raise fleshy Chung Shan Man?

Wanzhong Mountain looks like a mountain instead of a mountain, like a stone instead of a stone. It is a living, lush, layered and green succulent plant all year round. Because of its abrupt appearance and mountain shape, it is also called fairy mountain. So how was Wanzhong Mountain reclaimed? What should I pay attention to when raising Wanzhong Mountain? Let's take a look at how to improve meaty Chung Shan Man. Chung Shan Man, a variety of cactus, belongs to cactus family, and cactus is a succulent plant. Chung Shan Man likes sunshine, is drought-tolerant, barren-tolerant, and the environment with weak light is easy to grow in white. Potted plants should choose sandy soil with ventilation, good drainage and rich calcium.

Growth habit

Wanzhong is a tropical rainforest plant, which likes warm air and is suitable for high humidity, high temperature and semi-cloudy environment. Suitable for semi-cloudy days, plants turn yellow under strong direct sunlight. The optimum growth temperature is 25 ~ 35℃. Sensitive to low temperature, under the condition of less than 5℃, the stem node is easy to rot. I like rich loam with a lot of humus. Potted soil can be prepared with equal amounts of rotten leaves, coarse sand and decomposed manure.

breeding method

Wanzhong, like other immortal plants, is easy to reproduce and survive. Cutting propagation is usually used, which can be carried out all year round, preferably in April-May. Select the small deformed stems of Wanzhong Mountain, and air-dry them after cutting 1 ~ 2 days. When the incision is dry, cut into the soil. Don't water it for the time being. Compactly cover the soil and spray some water to keep it moist. Generally, at a suitable temperature (14 ~ 23℃), it can take root and transplant in about 20 days. The survival rate of cutting is low in rainy season and hot summer.

breeding method

1. Soil: Wanzhong likes loose, fertile and humus-rich soil. Potted soil can be mixed with 1 part humus soil and 1 part coarse sand, and a small amount of decomposed chicken manure or cow dung can be added. Small pots need to be fertilized once a year, and large pots need to be fertilized once every two years.

2. Fertilization: Fertilization is generally not needed in Chung Shan Man. When changing pots every year, just put a small amount of bone marrow powder and organic fertilizer at the bottom of pots as base fertilizer. Careful use of high-concentration chemical fertilizers is easy to cause fertilizer damage. Remember that the amount of fertilizer should be small and the concentration should be as low as possible. You can also use organic fertilizer such as sesame sauce residue to make liquid fertilizer, and then dilute it and pour it into the basin.

3. Watering: The water in the water should be "wet and dry" together, and the dry one is better than the wet one. There should be no absolute interval between watering, and it should be flexibly controlled according to weather, temperature, light, ventilation and other factors, otherwise it will easily lead to rotten roots and make Wanzhong Mountain slender and its branches soft and not straight.

4. Temperature: When Chung Shan Man overwinters in winter, it should be moved indoors in time before the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than 5℃, and placed in a sunny place, away from the window glass. At night, the temperature near the glass is low, and the room temperature is maintained at 5 ~ 10℃, which can safely overwinter. If the temperature drops suddenly, cover it with plastic bags to keep warm.

5. Ventilation: Chung Shan Man is prone to red spider and rust under dry, stuffy and unventilated conditions. In summer, the direct sunlight near the window glass will cause the temperature of the flowerpot to be too high and damage the roots. Be careful not to expose the flowerpot wall to high temperature poisoning.

6. Pests and diseases: The prevention of pests and diseases in Wanzhong Mountain area must focus on prevention, with special emphasis on the prevention of stem rot and scale insects. For general diseases, drugs such as carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl can be used alternately. Drugs for general diseases and insect pests can be mixed or foliar fertilizer can be added.

What if Wan Zhongshan is weak?

cause

1, too much or too little water. Too much water, the soil layer is wet for a long time, which leads to root rot and can no longer absorb water and needed nutrients; Although you don't need to water too often, it doesn't mean you don't need to water. If the soil is excessively dry for a long time, it will also become soft.

2. The temperature is too low. This plant is not cold-tolerant, especially when cultivated outdoors in the north, and it is too cold in winter. If you don't move indoors in time, it is easy to soften plants, which is actually frostbite.

3. Poor environmental circulation. Too hot and humid environment is easy to make plants sick. It is even easy to cause the invasion of other pests and diseases.

solution

Choose soil and flowerpots with good air permeability and water permeability when planting, so that even a watering mistake can be remedied in time. The watering method in Wanzhong Mountain is both wet and dry, which means that when the soil in the basin is nearly completely dry, it should be watered immediately and thoroughly, but it would rather be dry than too wet. This is very important.

What about rotten roots?

90% of root rot is caused by watering. Think back to whether it was watered too much before, and then check whether the soil environment of the flowerpot is too wet. If so, it can basically be determined that root rot is caused by excessive watering.

Wanzhong Mountain is a cactus, and sufficient sunshine and good ventilation are the necessary conditions for its survival. If root rot in Wanshan is eliminated by watering too much, it is necessary to consider whether to put potted plants in a cool environment that cannot accept sunlight for a long time. To cultivate Chung Shan Man, we must first know that it is a sunny and drought-tolerant plant. Once you don't avoid light, there is too much water, which is naturally unfavorable for growth.

Post-treatment of rotten roots

1, cut and dried.

Once the rotten roots are found, the plants should be taken out of the soil immediately, and the rotten roots should be cut off, and then dried in a ventilated and astigmatism environment to make the excess water in the roots evaporate naturally.

Step 2 replace the soil

After rotten roots, all the soil in the original flowerpot needs to be replaced. The newly changed soil must be sandy soil with good drainage conditions. Remember not to water again. Only when the plants grow new roots can the daily watering management be resumed.

3. Replanting

For replanting, you can choose to disassemble the cuttings or replant the treated plants directly. Then carefully observe for a period of time, and then rest assured when new roots grow.

Matters needing attention in aquaculture in Wanzhong Mountain

1. In Chung Shan Man, a clay pot is used to raise or a layer of tiles is laid in the pot to give the roots more breathing space, so that they are not easy to rot.

Wanzhong Mountain is planted in sandy loam, and fertilizer should be applied every twenty days until the beginning of October.

The principle of watering Wan Zhongshan is not to do it, but to water it thoroughly, not too much and not for too long.

4. At 8 degrees in winter, Wan Zhongshan should be moved indoors. In case of sudden drop in temperature, plastic bags can be used to keep warm.

Wanzhong is a light-loving plant, so let it bask in the sun as much as possible. It is impossible not to see the sun for a long time.
