Yushu leaves are weak and soft. What is the reason?

Yushu has a great demand for water. When it is short of water, its leaves will soften. Yushu cannot be exposed to the sun. Many flower friends move Yushu directly from indoor to outdoor after seeing the warm weather, but in this case, Yushu will get sunburned because it doesn't adapt to the light.

Potting technique

When the root length of the cutting seedlings reaches 2 cm -3 cm, the seedlings with good root growth are selected for pots. It is best to choose a purple sand basin with good drainage and permeability.

When filling pots, first put coarse-grained substrate or ceramsite with a thickness of 2 cm -3 cm at the bottom of pots as a filter layer, sprinkle a layer of fully decomposed organic fertilizer with a thickness of about 1cm-2cm on it, then cover it with a layer of nutrient soil with a thickness of about 8cm- 10cm, and then put it into plants to separate the fertilizer from the root system to avoid burning the root system.

The culture soil for the upper basin can be mixed with 3 parts humus soil, 3 parts cave soil, 3 parts coarse sand and the mixture of vegetation and bone meal. After the pot is done, water it once and leave it in a slightly cool environment for a week. After complete survival, transplant to sunny places such as balconies. Change the pots at the beginning of each year and add fertile soil to improve the fertility and permeability of the soil.

breeding method

Cutting propagation of old leaves and twigs is the main method, which can be carried out from early spring to late autumn. Mature thick leaves with leaf bases are selected for leaves, and well-developed and vigorous shoots are selected for top branches.

The length is 8 cm-10 cm, and it will be paved for several days. After the pulp is slightly dry and the leaves are slightly wrinkled, it is inserted obliquely in plain sand or sandy soil, with a cutting depth of 1/4- 1/3 of the leaf length and a cutting depth of 2 cm -3 cm. Proper shading and maintaining a certain humidity can take root in about 30 days.

Growth habit

I like a warm, dry and sunny environment. Not cold-resistant, afraid of strong light, slightly resistant to shade. The soil is fertile sandy loam with good drainage. The temperature is not lower than 7 degrees in winter.
