How to raise succulent red backed pepper grass, and what pot is suitable for succulent red backed pe

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.
