How to raise raw stone flowers? How to raise raw stone flowers

Raw stone flowers are more common in succulents, and now there are more and more friends who like raw stone flowers, but novice friends often find it more difficult to raise. In fact, the reason for the difficulty in raising may be that you have entered a misunderstanding in the selection.

Raw stone flower (details).

First of all, it is not suitable for newcomers to start with sub-adults under 3 years old, because those 1-year-old and 2-year-old stones are still juveniles, and it is difficult to peel and survive the summer, and once there is a problem, a large number of people will die.

Newcomers also like to sow seeds, theoretically speaking, the vitality of this kind of seeds can be maintained for more than 12 years, but it is better to harvest within 3 years. Aged seeds, dark and brown in color, have very low germination rate or no germination. Fresh seeds are golden in color and have a high germination rate, reaching more than 90.

Best time to buy: May September, August 10 is the best time to sow seeds.

If you want to choose seedlings, you can look at three aspects: 1. Look at the color. The color of the seedlings maintained by sufficient light is gray-brown, and it is easy to survive after planting.

The plants that lack light and maintain are fresh in color, but they are easy to rot after planting. 2. Feel soft and hard. The plants with hard and porcelain are easy to survive after planting, and the plants with soft and empty bran are easy to rot seedlings.

3. Pick the size. It is better to have a large individual in a batch of seedlings. When selecting potted plants, it is necessary to look at the permeability of the substrate and the configuration of pots.

It is recommended that newcomers start to accumulate experience from adult plants that are more than 3 years old, and the varieties selected can start from Mrs. Li, Rilun, and Zifu.

Raw stone flowers belong to indoor flowers, which should be maintained in greenhouses all year round, and should not be planted in the open air or on the ground. Potted plants should also be raised with bricks or placed on a shelf or platform with a certain height to avoid flooding the pots with water in the greenhouse during heavy rains, causing plant rot.

1. Temperature: When cultivating raw stone flowers, the ambient temperature needs to be controlled between 15-25. 2. Watering:

Raw stone flowers are drought-tolerant plants and need to be watered every 20-25 days. 3. Light: Place the raw stone flower in a sunny place and let it receive 5-7 hours of light every day.

4. Fertilization: Thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once a month for raw stone peanuts for a long time.

1. Growth temperature

It is recommended that the growth temperature of raw stone flowers be controlled between 15 and 25, too high temperature environment or too low temperature may cause cracks and damage on the body of raw stone flowers, and even stinky rot. Especially in winter, move it indoors as soon as possible for maintenance, and the stable temperature is above 10.

2. Water demand

Raw stone flowers are succulent plants, and they do not need too much water requirements, and if they are too humid, they will have reduced growth capacity, and they are also prone to pests, diseases and moss. Water irrigation can meet the needs of raw stone flowers, and if it is in summer, you can spray water mist appropriately to increase humidity.

3. Sufficient light

Raw stone flowers love light, and under the nourishment of bright and sufficient light, raw stone flowers can even turn into beautiful colors. However, direct exposure to strong sunlight must be blocked, otherwise the raw stone flowers will be sunburned. In winter, the light intensity is relatively low, so consider using direct light to moisturize the raw stone flowers.

4. Fertilizer application

Raw stone flowers need fertilizer supply, but the amount of fertilizer should not be too large, and the fertilizer solution can be diluted once a half month during the peak growth period. It is recommended to use rotting fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, elemental fertilizer, organic fertilizer and so on. If the fertilizer is applied too much and the nutrients are excessive, the raw stone flowers will not look good.

Planting method: 1. Soil.

The soil requirements are not strict, and it is suitable to be planted in a loose and breathable neutral soil. Usually 4 parts of humus, 3 parts of calcareous material, and 3 parts of river sand are mixed and prepared, and the soil is often loosened to maintain the air permeability of the roots.

2. Change the pot. Generally, choose to repot the raw stone flowers in autumn, and when changing the pot, you need to take the plants out of the soil, pay attention to handle them gently, try not to hurt the capillary roots, and then cut off the old roots that have rotted and dried up, and choose new culture soil for planting.

3. Fertilization. Generally, compound fertilizer is applied to the seedlings in the season when the raw stone flowers are peeling, so as to promote the healthy growth of seedlings.

4. Watering. The drought tolerance of raw stone flowers is strong, and the principle of "not drying, not watering, watering thoroughly" is followed when watering, but be careful not to water when the temperature is too high in summer, so as to avoid damage to the roots of the plant caused by the temperature difference between day and night. In the spring, the raw stone flower is in the molting stage, and during this period, it is necessary to stop fertilizing it and properly control the watering.

In the usual maintenance process, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid the potting soil being in a humid environment for a long time, because moss is easy to grow in the pot.

5. Temperature. The suitable temperature for the growth of raw stone flowers is 15 to 32 degrees, and if the temperature is too high in summer, the raw stone flowers will enter a dormant period. It is not cold tolerant in winter, so it is necessary to ensure that the temperature is above 10 degrees when breeding in winter.

Raw stone flower belongs to the succulent varieties that are easier to feed, choose the soil suitable for its growth before raising, pay more attention to watering, temperature and light in the later maintenance process, and maintain it in strict accordance with the standard.

1. Soil selection

The root system of the raw stone flower is short, so when choosing the soil, it is necessary to choose the sandy soil with good air permeability and looseness, the soil is best neutral, too acid or too alkali is not conducive to the growth of the raw stone flower, and the raw stone flower does not need to be planted in a deep pot, because its root system is attached to the soil surface.

2. Watering:

You don't need to water it too much water when planting it in the selected soil, you can give a little less each time, giving too much water will make the surrounding of the stone flower full of moss, and its flesh petals are easy to rot, which is not conducive to the normal growth of the later stone flower, and it can be watered about once every two days.

3. Temperature

Raw stone flowers can not live in places where the temperature is too high and too low, the best temperature is about 20 degrees, usually pay attention to control the temperature when breeding, especially in winter and summer, the temperature in winter can not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise the raw stone flowers will be frozen to death, the summer temperature can not be higher than 30 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause local rot.

4. Illumination

The photosynthesis of plants is very important, generally planting stone flowers in spring and autumn can accept direct sunlight, it is best to shade in summer, so that the stone flowers are more exposed to astigmatism, and the stone flowers can be placed in a bright place in winter.

To cultivate raw stone flowers, choose a tile pot or purple sand pot with a pot depth of not less than 130mm, and use sandy soil for planting. Maintain a growing temperature of 18 to 25 and ensure about 4 hours of light per day. Water once every 15 days, and also apply liquid fertilizer once every 15 days.

Home planting is recommended to propagate by cuttings.

Because the roots of the raw stone flower can grow to about 70mm, so the pot should choose a depth of not less than 130mm to give it enough space to grow.

Most of the soil components used in succulent plants are sand and gravel, which can be mixed and matched in the ratio of red jade soil, perlite and vermiculite 5:3:2 to make planting soil, or you can directly buy special nutrient soil for planting succulents in the market.

Raw stone flowers like to be in a mild environment, the temperature is best kept at 18 25 rooms, when cultivated outdoors, the summer temperature is high to move away from a relatively cool location; In winter, if the temperature is too low, it is recommended to move indoors for maintenance.

Raw stone flowers are meaty, so they also like light, and sufficient light is conducive to their growth, so they ensure about 4 hours of light every day. In summer, when the temperature is high, shade measures should be taken to avoid strong sunlight and sunburn.

How to raise raw stone flowers to raise them well, it is very important to control the amount and frequency of watering. Generally, it is watered once every 15 days, and it is good to keep the soil moist without watering thoroughly. Like the low temperature in winter, the water evaporates slowly, and it can be watered once every 20 days.

In the growth period of the green stone flower, that is, in spring and autumn, liquid fertilizer should be applied once in 15 days, and the summer is the dormant period to stop growing without top dressing, and the slow growth in winter can also be without top dressing.

There are three types of propagation methods: sowing, dividing and cuttings. Generally, the propagation method of cuttings is often used to propagate, and the leaves with better growth of the plant are selected and separated, directly inserted into the sandy soil, and the appropriate amount of water is poured along the edge of the pot, and it is recommended to do the propagation work during the spring growth period.

The growing soil of raw stone flowers needs to be soft and breathable, and the appropriate amount of water and fertilizer irrigation can be used to avoid too much. Growing under bright and sufficient sunlight, the appropriate temperature difference is more beneficial to the growth of raw stone flowers.

Raw stone flowers are succulents, so the soil needs to be loose and breathable, and refuse to use clay or saline-alkali soil. Generally, it is made of peat, chaff charcoal, a small amount of garden soil and granular soil.

Raw stone flowers do not need a lot of water and high humidity, which is easy to cause rhizome rot. During the peak growth period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer can be used, which can be diluted and irrigated into the soil with light fertilizer.

The light should be bright and sufficient. In summer, it is appropriate to shade the direct exposure of strong light and strong ultraviolet rays, and if the light is weak in winter, it is necessary to extend the daily light duration to ensure that the raw stone flower can carry out complete and good photosynthesis.

15 25 The milder growing environment is very safe to grow raw stone flowers, and the large temperature difference within the controllable range is more beneficial to the growth. Raw stone flowers are not very hardy, so the temperature should not be lower than 5 in winter, otherwise there is a risk of frost damage.
