Succulent money skewers soil requirements, how to raise potted money skewers?

If the soil is too heavy and compact, the plant will not be able to breathe, and the growth will naturally be slow. Therefore, in the soil of cultivating money strings, you can add some particles in moderation, or coarse sand, so that the soil is more loose and soft, and the drainage and ventilation are good.

If you want to raise a good money tree, you only need these few tricks, and the green leaves will be bunched with new leaves and new branches!

Soil is the foundation of all plants, even if your cultivation methods are carefully cultivated in the later stage, if there is no suitable soil, it is difficult to fertilize. The ratio of soil is: 10% plant ash + 50% particles (rice wheat stone, vermiculite, iridescent stone, deer swamp soil, red jade soil can be) + 40% peat, with iridescent stone or red jade soil to cover the top.

If you want to fatten it and water it, it is also a science, as long as you keep the potting soil slightly moist every day, the temperature will rise in summer, so you must reduce the amount of watering. At this time, it may have begun to dormant or grow very slowly, if it is raised in the open, it must not be left in the rain for a long time, otherwise it will have rotten roots. In winter, if it can be controlled above 10 degrees, it can be watered normally, but if the temperature cannot be controlled, then it is necessary to control the watering.

No matter how you enter, you can't have stagnant water.

The requirements for fertilizer are not high, but fertilizer is also indispensable. Fertilization can be done every half month. Fertilization can be suspended in winter and summer. However, if the breeding temperature in winter is above 10 degrees, an appropriate amount of fertilization can be carried out.

The best temperature for it to grow is between 20 and 32 degrees, which is suitable at all times.

From September to May, this is also the growing season. In fact, they just avoid summer, which is very unsuitable for succulent growth, and summer is a kind of torment for them. Especially for novices in meat farming, try to choose it in autumn.

Stem cuttings Pick a mature and robust stem with plump fleshy leaves and cut it with two nodes on each stem. However, before inserting into the soil, they should be placed in a cool place to dry for a day or two, and the cut should be inserted into the potting soil after the observation period has been completely dried, which can effectively prevent the symptoms of decay after insertion. If you keep it slightly moist, it is easy to grow new roots.

Leaf cuttings Select mature and robust, fleshy leaves and cut them, and then put them on the soil to dry naturally for 1 to 2 days, pay attention to lay them flat, and then keep the potting soil and the environment moist, about 20 days will see new small roots grow, and slowly new shoots will grow. During this period, it is important not to let the potting soil and air appear dry.

Regardless of the propagation method, the choice of potting soil should be more breathable and permeable.

Okay, now that you've learned both methods, you can try them yourself. If there are children who don't know, you can also teach!

Money strings are really easy to raise, at least I think so, because my money strings from a single gift to more than 10 branches of the cluster state, it took more than 2 years and less than 3 years, and there was no problem in the middle, but I changed the pot for it myself. So how is my money string maintained?

1.with soil. When it was still a single head, the soil I configured for the money string was 40% peat soil and 60% particles - 30% of which were mixed particles and 20% cinders, because the money string did not like to burst the side buds, and the proportion of peat soil was too high and some were long, and there were beheadings in the middle.

After the side buds grew to about 2 cm, I re-repotted it, and the soil was reconfigured to 20% peat soil and 80% high-grain mixed soil.

2.Illumination. In autumn, winter and spring, I put the money string on the roof of the building to maintain the sun, and I will give it as long as the sun is shining, if you don't give it enough light, it will grow in vain, and the leaves will be sparse and not good-looking.

In the summer, when the temperature exceeds 35, I will shade the money strings during the high temperature periods at noon and afternoon, and carry out normal light in the morning and evening, because my soil has a high proportion of soil particles, and I have been watering normally in summer, and the soil is in a slightly damp state and the money strings will not appear sunburn.

3.Moisture content. I like to pinch the bottom of the leaf before watering the money string, when it feels soft when pinching, and it looks dull, I will directly water it thoroughly, if it is rainy, I will stop watering, and wait until the weather is sunny before watering.

Sometimes I also make pots, if the pots are very light, it also means that the potting soil is completely dry, and you can directly water a lot! Because my skewers and other succulents are raised in the open, I don't have strict water control in the summer, and in the winter when the temperature is close to 0, I don't water them anymore, and I keep the soil dry all the time to avoid frostbite.

If the proportion of soil particles is not high enough, the water must be strictly controlled in summer, and the soil is too dry after the water control, and the succulent (including the money string) is not sun-resistant, and sunburn may occur when the temperature is slightly higher; If the succulent (including the money string) in summer is not watered normally, the proportion of soil particles is not high enough and it is easy to have stuffy roots and leaves, and finally develop into rotten roots and black rot, and at the same time, in the case of summer shade, the succulent (including the money string) is also easy to grow, as long as one of the links falls off the chain, this succulent will not be able to be raised!

Finally, remind the subject: Do not control the water too much during the usual maintenance process, which will lead to excessive lignification of the stalk at the bottom, and then it will not be able to transport water upwards normally, and finally the whole plant will dry up and die! This is also the case with the same Xiaomi Star!
