Lipstick is too tempting, enchanting and domineering. The key is simple and easy to raise. How to raise it?

Lipstick, also known as the night of charm, belongs to the genus Sedum and is a very beautiful succulent plant. There is a big temperature difference between spring and autumn, and there is plenty of sunshine. The leaves are red from the edge to the tip, bright red, like lipstick, which looks enchanting, so it is also called lipstick. Moreover, the leaves of lipstick are arranged closely like rosettes, and the leaves are thick and big, giving people a very domineering feeling. The key is that the breeding method is simple, and Sister Rong also likes it and raises several pots. How to raise it?

Well drained soil

Lipstick is fleshy and likes the soil with smooth drainage, just like many fleshy ones. Otherwise, the roots will rot easily after accumulating water. With more soil particles, lipstick is easier to keep intact.

Soil suggestion: the soil used for planting lipstick can be determined according to the size of lipstick plants. Smaller lipstick, fleshy. We can use humus, garden soil and sand in the same proportion, and add some vermiculite and perlite, which is more conducive to the rooting and growth of small lipstick.

The lipstick with larger plants can use larger soil and more particles, accounting for about 60% in general, which can play the role of smooth drainage and beautiful state.

Get more sun, not exposure.

Lipstick is a succulent plant that likes sunshine. It is afraid of strong light and more resistant to semi-shade. If there is not enough sunshine, the leaves will turn green easily, even the red at the edge of the leaves will turn green, and it is easy to grow white and the leaves will become loose.

Lighting suggestion: in spring and autumn, you can keep lipstick and meat in full sunshine, put it on the sunny Nanyang terrace, or expose it outdoors. In this way, the fleshy lipstick will grow short and strong, with tight leaves and bright red edges, giving people a charming feeling.

The temperature is above 5 degrees in winter, so you can expose yourself to the sun outdoors. If it is below 5 degrees, you need to move indoors to raise it. Because lipstick is fleshy, although I like a warm and cool environment, I am also afraid of frostbite when the temperature is too low.

When the sun is strong in summer, lipstick will grow slowly or stop growing. We need to give lipstick proper shade to avoid exposure to high temperature at noon and prevent sunburn.

Water the soil after it dries.

The suitable temperature for the growth period of lipstick is 20 to 28 degrees, and the spring and autumn of each year belong to the vigorous growth period of lipstick. When lipstick is growing vigorously, we can keep the soil moist without watering. Because the weather is dry in spring and autumn, water evaporates quickly and lipstick grows fast, so more water is needed.

When it's hot in summer, we shade the lipstick properly, and then the lipstick grows or doesn't grow. We shouldn't water too much. We can wait until the soil is dry before watering it. It will also spray water around the flowerpot to cool down. Ventilation is needed in hot summer to prevent lipstick from rotting under high temperature and high humidity. In rainy season, we should move to a shelter from the rain to prevent the soil from getting too wet and rotting roots.

When the temperature is below 4 degrees in winter, lipstick stops growing, so watering should be controlled to prevent the roots from being retted at low temperature. Moreover, watering in winter needs to be carried out at high temperature at noon, and the water temperature is consistent with the indoor temperature.

rational application of fertilizer

In spring and autumn, when lipstick grows vigorously, we can apply nitrogen and potassium fertilizer every 20 to 30 days, which can make lipstick grow stronger and brighter. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used before flowering to make safflower bright. After fertilization and maintenance, fleshy lipstick can also be trimmed to grow side buds.

When the temperature is high in summer or the growth is slow in winter, it is necessary to stop fertilizing lipstick to prevent fertilizer damage and root rot.

Summary: lipstick is too tempting, enchanting and domineering. The key is simple and easy to raise. I fell in love with it, so I raised a few pots. Are you in love with lipstick?
