How to raise ruby pepper grass, how to raise red angel pepper grass

Ruby pepper grass requires special care attention, the following are the key points of maintenance:

1.Light: Ruby pepper grass should not be placed in a place exposed to the sun, because strong light can easily dry up and curl its leaves. It's best to keep it in a moderately well-lit or slightly shady place.

2.Temperature: Ruby pepper grass is suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature of 20 to 28 degrees, which is fine within the range of tropical fish, but it is best to keep it in this temperature range if it is in good condition.

3.Base and root fertilizer: High-quality base fertilizer and root fertilizer can ensure that the ruby pepper grass is lush and healthy, so it is best to apply the right fertilizer when planting.

In addition, the root system of pepper grass is an important part of its nutrient absorption, and its state is largely affected by root development. The propagation of pepper grass in the aquatic plant tank is achieved by growing new plants on the mother plant, and after the daughter plant grows to a certain size, it can be separated from the mother plant with scissors and planted.

Red Angel Pepper Grass likes warmth, its most suitable growth temperature is 20-30, and it is best to keep it in a warm place indoors in winter. Red Angel has a certain drought tolerance, and should not be watered too much to avoid waterlogging. When maintaining it, it is best to put it in a place with sufficient scattered light, and take shade measures in summer.

1. Growth temperature

Breeding red angel pepper grass needs to let it grow in a warm environment, its most suitable growth temperature is between 20-30, spring and autumn are its vigorous growth period, red angel pepper grass cold tolerance is poor, the temperature is less than 5 is prone to frost damage, so it needs to be moved to a warm place indoors in winter.

2. Moisture humidity

The leaves of the red angel pepper grass are relatively thick, there is a certain water storage capacity, it is a more drought-tolerant plant, so it should not be too much when watering, otherwise it is easy to let it rot, it is best to master the principle of "not dry, not watering, watering thoroughly", keeping the soil slightly dry in winter is more helpful for it to overwinter.

3. Lighting conditions

The growth of red angel pepper grass needs sufficient sunlight, but it can not be exposed to strong direct light for a long time, so it is best to put it in a place with sufficient scattered light when maintaining, the light is too strong in summer, it is easy to make the leaves of the plant lose water and wither, at this time we must do a good job of shading measures, so that the plant can grow better.

You're talking about a kind of aquatic weed. It's red pepper grass.

Nothing else is special.

The only special thing is that red pepper grass has a relatively high calcium content in water.

Also, I don't know if you're raising red or green.

Only red pepper grass is red leaves!!

If this is the kind of plant, it can be managed according to the cultivation method of succulent plants, and even if the leaves can turn red, it is not dependent on the thought of regulation, but can turn red until a certain growth cycle.

1. Temperature.

The growth temperature of red-backed pepper grass is 18 28, and the potting soil should be kept moist and not waterlogged during the growth period, and attention should be paid to watering rather than more, otherwise it will cause root rot due to excessive soil moisture.

2. Environment. The air humidity requirements are not high, can grow normally in a dry living room, and the fruit is often sprayed with water close to the room temperature to the plant, slightly increasing the air humidity, which can make the red back pepper grass grow luxuriantly, the leaf color is bright, and it is more vigorous. Apply a well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer once a month.

3. Illumination. When the temperature is high in summer, move the red-backed pepper grass to a ventilated and cool place for maintenance, avoiding direct sunlight and hot and humid conditions. In winter, it is required to have sufficient sunlight, moderate watering, and more than 10 can safely overwinter. Repotting is done every 1 2 years in the spring, and the potting soil is required to be loose and fertile, rich in humus, and have good drainage.

It can be planted with 3 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of coarse sand or frog stone, and 1 part of garden soil, and mixed with a small amount of well-decomposed horse manure as base fertilizer.

There are four basic steps in the maintenance of succulent red-backed pepper grass: repotting, propagation, pruning, and temperature. The potting soil is evenly mixed with five parts of peat, three parts of plant ash and two parts of coarse sand, and the branches and leaves with relatively strong growth are selected for cuttings and propagation, and the rotten roots are pruned by changing pots and pruning the dead roots, and the branches and leaves are pruned during the growth period. Maintain the optimal growing temperature of 18-26 degrees.

1. Change the pot. To maintain a lot of fleshy red-backed pepper grass, it is necessary to do a good job of repotting. Because it likes to grow in relatively loose and breathable, water-retaining and fertilizer-retaining soil, it can be evenly mixed with five parts of peat, three parts of plant ash, and two parts of coarse sand.

Loosen the soil at regular intervals after repotting to maintain air permeability.

2. Reproduction. Propagation is an important measure for the maintenance of succulent red-backed pepper grass, and the branches and leaves with relatively strong growth are selected as cuttings, and new branches and leaves and more than two years old branches should not be used. In the substrate of cuttings after disinfection, the root system will grow in about half a month, and the maintenance management will achieve the purpose of continuous bursting.

3. Pruning. The succulent red-backed pepper grass is pruned every time the pot is repotted, and the rotten and diseased roots are removed, and the disinfection treatment is done. During the growth period, the long branches are cut off and the old yellow leaves are removed, so as to avoid nutrient consumption after pruning and promote the healthy and lush growth of the plants.

Fourth, temperature. Succulent red-backed pepper grass likes to grow in a warm environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is between 18-26 degrees, so in the summer hot weather, it can be moved to a cool and ventilated place indoors, and spray wet water around it to cool down. In winter, it can be placed in a heated room to avoid effective frost damage.

When many friends first see red-backed pepper grass, they will think of it as a succulent plant because its leaves are too thick, fatter than ordinary succulent leaves. The back of the leaf is purple, the leaf is turned inward, and the leaf surface is green, which is very unique, like a pod.

Red-backed pepper grass is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Peppergrass, it does not belong to succulents, it has a strong kinship with the round-leaved pepper grass we usually see, wrinkle-leaved pepper grass and watermelon peel pepper grass, but the varieties are different, their plants are extremely small, generally can only grow to a few centimeters high, it is very suitable for raising in small pots, and it is no problem to raise it as a succulent.

After the flowers of the red-backed pepper grass bloom, you will find that its flowers are very similar to the flowers of the round-leaved pepper grass, the red-backed pepper grass generally blooms in spring and summer, and it is a very high flower stalk to grow white-green flower spikes, or a flower stalk, and the ornamental is not as good as the leaves.

As long as the light is bright, there is proper scattered light every day, and the soil is well drained, and the leaves are not watered too frequently, the leaves of the red-backed pepper grass are very compact and ornamental.

Usually we want to raise red back pepper grass, we should pay attention to keep it in a bright and ventilated place, give a little more sunlight in the morning, and avoid exposure and long-term direct sunlight in the afternoon, it is very afraid of the scorching sun.

Another point to note is that red-backed pepper grass is not particularly drought tolerant, don't look at its leaf hypertrophy, once the long-term lack of water, it is easy to cause the leaves to dry up, but also to avoid excessive soil moisture, otherwise the root system will rot, the leaves will also rot and black, don't water it too much, don't water it thoroughly before the soil is not dry.

The picture above shows the red-backed pepper grass with rotten roots and blackened leaves.

Only when there is more sunlight, the environment is warm and well ventilated, and the potting soil is well drained, can the soil be kept slightly moist. In autumn and winter, it is generally necessary to wait for the soil to dry before watering it. When you keep it at home, if the environment is too dry, you can spray water appropriately to increase the humidity of the air, which can make the leaves grow more shiny and grow faster, which is also incomparable to succulents.

So don't think of red-backed pepper grass as a succulent, it is still relatively shade-tolerant, and it is also possible to grow an ornamental potted plant on the indoor table, watering does not need to be too frequent, but it cannot be long-term drought, it does not require much light, so it should avoid exposure to the sun. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to cold protection, it is more afraid of cold, in winter, the minimum maintenance temperature should be kept above 7 degrees, keep the environment warm, can make it grow better.
