A small and delicate succulent plant, Qunbiyu, is native to South Africa.

Group jasper is a small and delicate succulent plant, belonging to Dianthus genus of Dianthus family. Plants are clustered, extremely fleshy, with opposite leaves, green leaves, no patterns, flat tops and shallow seams in the center. In autumn, purple flowers bloom from shallow cracks, and a single flower can bloom for 5 to 7 days. Jasper is native to South Africa. Since autumn, plants must go through the cycle of alternation between old and new flowers, such as flowering, inoculation of new spherical leaves, enrichment and growth of new spherical leaves, dormancy, molting and separate flowering. In summer, when the temperature is high, this plant is dormant. At this time, the growth stopped, and the opposite spherical leaves shrank, leaving only a layer of dry skin wrapped in new spherical leaves. After the autumn is cool, the new leaves grow further, and the old leaves expose the new plants, then bloom and the plants begin to grow. At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, its old leaves began to thin gradually, and new leaves gradually formed in the old leaves, which enriched and grew up continuously, while old Harrison became thinner and atrophied. Under the condition of good growth environment, plants grow vigorously, and will become 2 ~ 4 plants after molting, so plants that have grown for many years are mostly in groups.

Groupfish like a cool, dry and sunny environment, not cold-resistant, but also afraid of extreme heat, waterlogging and drought. During the high-temperature dormancy period in summer, it should be kept in a ventilated and cool place to avoid sun exposure and rainforest, and do not water too much. In winter, it is required to have enough sunshine, control watering, keep dry and not lower than 5℃ for safe wintering. Avoid the rain forest at any time during cultivation, and the soil can't accumulate water. During the growing period, you should receive more sunlight, otherwise the plants will grow white and cannot bloom. According to the growth situation, the pot is turned every 1 ~ 2 years in autumn, and the pot soil can be humus soil plus coarse sand or vermiculite of about 1/2. Breeding is often carried out in autumn or growing season, and the plants are sown separately.

How to water succulents

The fleshy watering method has been puzzling flower lovers, with more rotten roots and less water shortage. How much succulents are watered is related to many factors: regional climate, weather, season, temperature, ventilation, succulents' habits, soil, flowerpot material, daily sunshine time, placement position, succulents' state, succulents' size and so on. Water shortage signal

Whether it is a succulent plant in desert or mountainous area, there is a lot of water in its stems and leaves, so the amount of water must not be too much. Moreover, succulents will consume the water of their leaves to supply the needed nutrients in the case of very short of water, and then the leaves at the bottom will slowly dry up; In addition, the leaves of apricot trees and some Sedum plants wrinkle when they are short of water; Other succulent leaves will soften when they are short of water, which is their watering signal.

When the leaves are wrinkled or softened, they will recover immediately the next day after watering, and the recovery speed will be slower on the third day. If it doesn't recover after watering for a long time, it must be that the root system is broken and the plants can't absorb dehydration.

However, sometimes the leaves wrinkle and become soft, which is not necessarily a lack of water. This needs to be judged according to your usual watering time and recent weather conditions. Generally speaking, if there is water shortage, the leaves will be full the next day if you water them that night. But if you don't change your state for a few days after watering, you need to pay attention. This situation is generally that the root system of the plant has not grown, or the original root system has rotted. At this time, you can pull the meat out of the soil, clean up the roots, and put it into dry soil for planting.

Watering time: it is best to water in the evening or afternoon in spring, summer and autumn, and it is best to water at noon in winter, because the temperature is too low. When watering, water along the edge of the flowerpot, so as not to splash water on the leaves. Try to avoid water flowing into the center of the blade to form stagnant water, which will gather sunlight to one point like a magnifying glass and directly burn the blade. If you accidentally fall to the center of the blade, you can blow off the water droplets or dry them with a paper towel.

Watering interval: on the first day of admission, it is indeed possible to water regularly, such as once a week and once a month-although this way can make most succulents survive, it is not very good. Because the weather is changeable, the need and the material of the flowerpot also determine the evaporation of water, and there are many other factors mentioned above, which make it impossible to generalize the watering interval. Here are some of the more important ones to explain, which is also the experience I have summed up over the years.

Regional climate and watering: I always think this is the most important condition to determine the growth of succulents. Although meat can be raised all over the country, if you are lucky enough to live in a climate suitable for the growth of succulents, you can save a lot of thought and time, and succulents can grow well themselves. For example, in the summer in Weihai, Shandong Province, the highest temperature in 20xx is only 30 degrees, which lasts only about 10 day, and then falls back to above 23C -28 degrees every day, and because it is a coastal city, the actual temperature will be lower and very cool because the sea breeze blows constantly every day. For succulents, this climate almost directly skips the characteristics of dormancy in summer, and succulents are almost in a state of growth, so you can safely water them. However, the southern region is still a mild and hot climate above 35 degrees or even 40 degrees, especially in the southwest region, where the basin climate is very sultry and the wind speed is very small. This hot and humid environment will put succulents to sleep, so they can't be watered any more, so most succulents in the local area need to spend the summer without water. However, if water is cut off for a long time, it may dry up directly. You can add some water appropriately, such as adding water to the tray and spraying water when it is cold at night.

Weather change and watering: the weather forecast is now something I must watch every day, even several times a day, because this forecast will change. Looking at the weather forecast mainly includes several important information: sunny, rainy, cloudy, temperature and wind speed. This information determines whether to water in the next few days. If it rains continuously, the meat left outdoors won't need watering for the last two days. Rainy weather will also slow down the evaporation of water in the indoor succulent flower device, so the watering time can be relatively extended. On the contrary, if it is a continuous sunny day, and the wind speed is not bad (level 3-5) and the temperature is suitable (10 -30), you can water it frequently. However, this still needs to be judged according to the material of the flowerpot and the size of the succulent plant.

Material and watering of flowerpots: The fleshy flowerpots with the best ventilation are more suitable for raising, because there will be no waterlogging and death of plants. Even if it is dry, as long as the fleshy pot is not dead, the state will get better after watering, which is very suitable for novices. However, clay pots also have disadvantages, that is, the water evaporates too quickly, and the bottom of the flowerpot does not retain water, which will slow down the growth of succulents. Because there is not enough water to make the meat grow, the water evaporates before the meat is completely absorbed. Especially in summer, many flower lovers mistakenly think that the red pottery basin is breathable, and the dry environment is good for succulents, so simply not watering it directly leads to the death of succulents.

It's cooler in spring and autumn, but when it's sunny, the water in the pottery basin is completely dry in almost 1-2 days, so it's okay to water it once a day or once every two days. However, flowerpots such as ceramics, ironware and plastics are relatively poor in air permeability, and the watering interval is generally 2-3 times that of pottery pots. The succulents cultivated by these flower devices hardly need much management, and they can go out safely after watering once. Water cut-off in summer is also aimed at these flowerpots with poor air permeability, because a lot of water will be stored at the bottom of the flowerpot after watering.

Succulents also need water to grow, and they will stop growing without water at all.

Succulent plant size and watering: this is generally a point that enthusiasts who have cultivated for many years will summarize. The newly planted succulents have weak water absorption ability because they have few roots, adapt to the new environment and recover from damage, and do not need too much watering. For this succulent plant, a better watering method is: a small amount of frequent watering.

However, succulents that have been growing for many years and are very healthy can be watered once every 2-3 days under the condition of continuous sunny days, or even once every day if they are planted in pottery pots. In the open air environment, even if it encounters continuous rainy or rainstorm weather, it will not have any impact, but will grow better. I always water this fleshy meat with a swig.

Pest control of succulent plants

Starscream: Strengthen ventilation, adopt low temperature measures, and spray 40% dicofol EC 1000- 1500 times. Whitefly: 40% omethoate EC 1000-2000 times can be sprayed at the initial stage. Aphids: spray with 80% dichlorvos EC 1500 times. Scale insects: If it is harmful, you can spray 800- 1000 times the killing emulsion in addition to driving it away with a brush.

Common pests

red spider

It mainly harms succulents such as Asclepiadaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Compositae, Liliaceae and cactus. The insect sucks the juice of tender stems and leaves with mouthparts, and the damaged stems and leaves appear yellow-brown spots or fall off, and the spots never fade. After the occurrence of pests, strengthen ventilation and take low temperature measures, and 40% dicofol EC 1000- 1500 times can be sprayed.

Whitefly

Most of them are found in succulents such as Chinese cabbage and Japanese palm of Sedum. This insect sucks juice from the leaf backstab, which causes the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Colleagues induce soot disease, which directly affects the ornamental value of plants. At the early stage of pest occurrence, 40% omethoate EC 1000-2000 times can be sprayed to kill.

aphid

Most succulents that harm Sedum and Compositae will suck juice from the tender parts of plants, which will lead to the weak growth of plants and their secretions will attract ants to invade. At the initial stage of damage, 80% dichlorvos EC was sprayed with 1500 times solution.

scale insect

Long-term damage to plants with close leaves such as agave, melastoma and cactus. Sucking stem and leaf juice will lead to poor growth of plants, and even wither and die in severe cases. In case of danger, except the brush, 800- 1000 times of emulsion can be sprayed.

Whitefly

It is the most annoying pest of cactus, which will not slow down the surface of stem or leaflike stem, make plants yellow, wither, stem nodes fall off, and induce soot disease. It can be sprayed with 800 times of 25% imino sulfuric acid emulsifiable concentrate or 2000 times of 40% quick-killing emulsion.
