Is the red copper kettle good looking or the black copper kettle good looking, succulent mage?

Horticultural hybrids, their leaves at the end of the stem and the tip of the branch will be integrated with the leaf disc of the lotus seat, when the light is strong, it will also make the leaves bend inward, so that the leaf cluster is bowl-shaped, especially in the summer when the leaves are dormant will also roll into a rose-shaped state, so it will also be called the rose mage, the leaves of the copper kettle mage are very thin, is a long spoon shape, the leaf is also very smooth, but also has a short leaf tip, the edge of the leaf has eyelash-like cilia, and the center of the leaf will have a unique star shape.

In fact, the copper kettle mage is divided into two kinds, one is the red copper kettle, the other is the black copper kettle, in fact, the difference between the two copper kettle mages in the growing season is also very small, and the original state of the mage is also relatively changeable, it does not mean that the black copper kettle has always been black, and the red copper kettle does not mean that it has always been red, sometimes because everyone's breeding environment and growth season are different, then sometimes the red copper kettle will be blacker than the black copper kettle, or the black copper kettle will be redder than the red copper kettle.

I don't know if everyone knows that the copy of the black copper kettle is a mirror.

Its mother is the ink mage, and the red copper kettle is just the other way around, the father of the red copper kettle is the ink mage, and the mother is the mirror master, so it is understandable why they are difficult to distinguish between them, because these two are the hybrids of the mirror and the ink mage, but their parents have exchanged a bit.

Although these two are meaty.

The shape of the leaves and the plant shape are the same, but if the black copper kettle is in its initial state, its leaves will be very black, but its leaf center will be red, and the color of the red copper kettle will be burgundy when it is out of state, but its leaf center is yellow-green, which is almost the difference between the two copper kettles of the mage.

The first time I heard the name Succulent Mage, I thought it was a game**, but I checked it and found out that it was Succulent. For me, who doesn't know much about succulents and simply looks at **, my aesthetic is more inclined to black copper kettles. The red copper kettle looks gorgeous, and the black copper kettle is not pure black as I imagined, but more like a very deep navy blue, which looks more calm.

Copper kettle mage, sedum lotus palm succulent, ink mage and mirror horticultural hybrid, its leaves at the end of the stem and the tip of the branch integrated rosette leaf disk, strong light will make the leaves bend towards the center, so that the leaf cluster is bowl-shaped, in the summer dormant leaves will be rolled into a rose state, so often called rose mage. The leaves of the copper kettle mage are thin and long spoon-shaped, with a smooth leaf surface with a short leaf tip, eyelash-like cilia on the leaf margin, and a distinctive star shape at the center of the leaf.

Black mage, sedum lotus palm is a succulent, is the green mage's horticultural cultivation variety, mage is one of the succulents, its leaves are thinner, spoon-shaped, the leaf surface is smooth, the front end is obtuse and round, the leaf tip has a short tip, the leaf margin has eyelash-like cilia, the season is different, the color of the leaf will also change, the old leaves are often black and purple in the spring and autumn growing season, the new leaves are often green, in late spring and summer when the sun is sufficient, the leaves will all turn purple red or black purple.

How do you tell the difference between a copper kettle mage and a black mage? If you want to effectively distinguish between the two types of mages, you can start from the following aspects:

1.Look at the blade length: the blades of the copper kettle mage are relatively shorter, usually the tip of the blade is upturned, while the blade of the black mage is relatively longer, usually the tip of the blade is curved downward, and the following picture puts their blades together, you can see the obvious difference.

The image below shows the blades of the copper kettle mage at the top, and the blades of the black mage at the bottom.

2.Look at the shape of the blade: in most cases, the key blade of the copper kettle mage will not be out of the round spoon shape, and the front end will be relatively rounder; The Black Mage's blades, on the other hand, are more elongated in most cases, with a much more pointed tip (the tip is similar to a triangle).

Picture 1 below shows the copper kettle mage, and picture 2 shows the black mage.

3.Look at the leaf heart: The copper kettle mage's leaf heart is a unique five-pointed star shape, which is basically hard to forget at a glance, which is the biggest difference between it and the black mage!

In addition, the black mage leaves are relatively softer, and there is a very obvious leaf mark in the middle of the leaf, while the copper kettle mage leaf is relatively harder, although there are also leaf marks in the middle of the leaf, but it is not obvious. Figure 1 below is a copper kettle mage, picture 2 is a black mage, after reading the above detailed introduction, the subject should be able to effectively distinguish these two types of mages, right?

The main points of copper kettle master cultivation include four aspects: potting soil, changing pots, light, and watering. The soil can be mixed with a piece of garden soil, a piece of peat, and a piece of coarse sand, and it should be placed in a sunny position every day during the breeding process, and when the potting soil is relatively dry, it should be watered thoroughly at one time. Repot every 1-2 years, loosening the soil every once in a while.

1. Potting soil

Because it likes to grow in a relatively loose and breathable, water-retaining and fertilizer-retaining sandy loam soil, it can be mixed with a piece of garden soil, a piece of grass and a piece of coarse sand. It can also be prepared with a part vermiculite, a part pyro-clay and a part sandy clay for a homogeneous mixture.

2. Illumination

The copper kettle master likes to grow in a relatively sunny environment, and in the process of breeding, it should be placed in a sunny position every day, so as to fully absorb the light, which is conducive to the growth of branches and leaves more bright and beautiful. However, in the summer, the sunlight is too strong, so it is necessary to properly shade to prevent sun exposure.

3. Watering

The copper kettle mage does not have very high requirements for the water lifting chamber, and has a certain drought tolerance. Therefore, when the potting soil is found to be relatively dry, it is necessary to water it thoroughly at one time, and pay attention not to produce stagnant water to avoid root rot. In winter, the water temperature should be almost the same as the soil temperature, so as to effectively avoid frostbite to the plants.

Fourth, change the pot

The copper kettle master should change the pot every 1-2 years, prune the root system after the depotting process is enough, and disinfect it to dry. Prepare new soil for repotting. Loosen the soil every once in a while to keep the root system breathable and permeable, which is conducive to the growth of roots and branches.

The biggest feature of the copper kettle is that the leaves are more layered than other mages, layered on top of each other, and the leaves are also wrapped into a rose shape during the dormant season.

Black mage, the leaves are integrated into rosette leaf discs at the ends of the stems and at the tips of the branches, the leaf discs can be up to 20 cm in diameter, the leaves are black-purple, green when dimly lit, the tips of the leaves have small tips, and the leaf margins have eyelid-like cilia.

The red copper kettle does not mean that it is reddish all year round, but it generally has a transparent red when it is out of state, in addition, the red and black copper kettle are sometimes very similar during the growth period, it is difficult to distinguish, even Americans feel that the two are very similar, after all, the parents are the same! But there must be a difference, don't be misled by the word "red and black" in the red and black copper kettle, just think that the red copper kettle must be red, the black copper kettle must be black, all the mage colors are changeable, the red copper kettle is sometimes black, and the black copper kettle will also be reddish in some environments, which may be the reason why some friends think that there is only one copper kettle, but the state problem. Xiao Fei feels that identifying the mage variety must not only rely on the color, but more importantly, on the leaf shape and the plant shape displayed by the mage's entire rosette!

If you find it, they actually think it's still the first, relatively speaking, it may be better, and the cost performance is a little higher, and it's relatively good.

Black Mage, also known as: Purple Leaf Lotus Palm, is a cultivar of the succulent plant Lotus Palm of the Sedum family. It prefers warm, dry and sunny environments, is the winter type, drought tolerant, not cold-tolerant, slightly tolerant to semi-shade, and the leaves turn green when there is too little sunlight.
