Succulents how to raise star otome How to raise star otome breeding methods

The succulent otome heart is the most misunderstood by netizens as "Yachiyo", and the tip of the otome heart leaves will change color due to ultraviolet intensity and seasonal factors, and rarely the whole plant will change color. If you have too much water, you will not grow taller and eventually turn into a hanging type. If you prefer the effect of old plants, you can reduce watering appropriately and let the bottom branches lignify.

Otome heart cuttings and leaf cuttings are the most common methods of propagation, and otome heart propagation is very easy.

Otome heart plants are stout and easy to reproduce. The pale green leaves will be a brilliant pink color at the tip of the leaf or even the whole leaf in autumn and winter, and the color will be more vivid and beautiful when placed in a dry place with a large temperature difference. The otome heart stem is not too thick but forms a woody branch that grows in groups over time.

Otome heart cuttings and leaf cuttings are both available and can be performed all year round. Cut your head with scissors, cut it with a knife, dry the wound, dry the roots, don't be afraid of them wrinkles, the water will soon be full.

The medium of otome heart cultivation must be watered only after drying, and the watering should not be too much after changing pots, and the leaves should be slightly increased when they are enlarged; Prefer fat. Fertilization can be applied 1 2 times in autumn, and the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needs to be controlled.

Otome heart will enter a dormant period throughout the summer, and must be given little or no water, and when the temperature comes down in mid-September, watering begins to resume, and the otome heart that has adapted to the open air environment can still grow normally in summer, and dormancy is not obvious. In winter, if the temperature can be kept above 0 degrees, water can be given, and the water must be cut off below 0 degrees, otherwise it will cause frostbite. Although the winter is cold, it is not a winter without a little water, but also at the appropriate time to give a little water in the roots of the plant, do not spray or give a lot of water, the leaf moisture stays too long, although it will not rot but it is easy to make the leaves ugly, after the temperature rises in spring, you can slowly return to normal water.

Otome heart is a very good breed to raise, and in all seasons, except for summer, you should pay attention to proper shading, and you can have full sunshine in other seasons.

When Hoshiotome is breeding, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is moist, the temperature is between 10 and 20, ventilated and sunny, and when the soil is dry, water in time, apply succulent special fertilizer during the growth period, and apply phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer before winter. When cultivating Hoshiotome, it is necessary to pay attention to the regular pruning of the branches and leaves of the plant, and ensure the normal growth and development of the root system by loosening the soil and changing the pot.

When cultivating Hoshiotome, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is always moist, breathable and drainable, and that there is no stagnant water to avoid root rot. The temperature is controlled between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius to ensure that the growing environment of the plants is ventilated, exposed to sunlight and rich in nutrients.

Hoshiotome's breeding method:

During the growing season of Hoshiotome, a special succulent fertilizer needs to be applied every 15 days, and a phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is applied before the winter to ensure that the leaves of the plant can grow fuller and thicker. Water when the soil is completely dry, slowly following the root system of the plant and onto the surface of the soil.

Precautions: Hoshiotome prunes the branches in the spring and during the vigorous growth period, prunes the branches and leaves close to the root system of the plant in the early spring, and cuts off the branches that have withered, overlapped, pests and diseases.

Hoshiotome needs to loosen the soil every 2 or 3 months to reduce the stickiness of the soil, avoid excessive water accumulation at the bottom and root rot, and change the pot every 1 year to ensure that the soil is rich in organic matter and minerals, and to ensure that the root system of the plant has enough space to grow normally.

1. Breeding environment: When breeding star otome, it is necessary to provide 6 hours of light every day, and spray water mist on the branches and leaves in summer to cool down to about 20 degrees. 2. Water and fertilizer management

Succulent fertilizer is applied every 15 days during the growing season, and water is replenished when the soil is dry. 3. Precautions: Side branches will be pruned in spring, and dense branches will be thinned during the growth period.

1. Breeding environment

When cultivating Hoshiotome, it should be placed in a sunny and ventilated environment, providing more than 6 hours of direct sunlight per acre, but when the light is strong in summer, it is necessary to build a Xunsun round sunshade net for Hoshiotome to avoid leaf burns, and the slag should be sprayed with water mist on the branches and leaves to adjust the temperature to below 20 degrees.

2. Water and fertilizer management

After Hoshiotome enters the growth period, the amount of fertilizer is large, so it is necessary to apply succulent special fertilizer at this time, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented before winter. In addition, Hoshiotome likes moisture and is afraid of waterlogging, so when the soil is dry, it is necessary to replenish water in time, and in rainy weather, the soil should be loosened and the water accumulated in the soil should be discharged.

3. Precautions

In the process of cultivating Hoshiotome, it is necessary to prune it in spring and during the growing season, cut off the side branches near the base in spring to promote the lignification of the branches, and cut off the long branches and dense branches during the growth period to improve the light transmittance between the plants and promote the growth of new leaves.

The species of succulents that can be propagated by leaf cuttings are mainly some plants of the Sedum family (such as Yachiyo, Otome Heart, Rainbow Jade, Swallow Palm, Tubeleaf Flower Moon, Tianjin, Moon Rabbit Ear, Akane Tower, Stone Lotus, Lotus Palm, Changsheng Grass, etc.), and some plants of the Haworthia genus of the Lily family (such as Jade Fan, Vientiane, Shou, Jinggu, Baocao, Striped Haworthia, Kyonohanka, etc.). Except for a few species, most varieties of leaf cuttings should pick the leaves with complete petioles, lay them flat on the surface of loose potting soil and make the leaves as close to the soil as possible (the soil for cuttings can be appropriately mixed with some plain sand, to prevent soil compaction, and facilitate the effect of rooting), and then pay attention to keeping the soil properly moist, put it in a bright but not direct sunlight, after a period of time, you will see the leaves from the petiole to grow roots and shoots, then you can transplant. I also read the link provided by the one, and in my experience, don't use vermiculite!

Vermiculite is not a good thing, it is very easy to pulverize, the air permeability is very poor after pulverization, it is easy to cause rotten roots, I have tried vermiculite before, and then I threw away all my vermiculite even used and unused, just because the effect is not good. It is good to mix the garden soil with plain sand (the sifted fine sand is rinsed with water to remove the dust).
