The lovely appearance of raw stone flowers attracted many flower friends, which made them decide to raise a pot at home. However, the problem of watering raw stone flower molting has baffled many flower friends. So how do you water the raw stone flowers when they molt? What should I pay attention to when watering? Pro, let's read down together!
How to water the aquatic stone flower after molting: the molting of the stone flower means the arrival of another growth period. It is very important to grasp the molting and watering of the stone flower. From November to December, before the stone flower does not molt, it is necessary to consciously control the water and even cut off the water to prepare for the peeling stage. The water will be cut off at the beginning of molting.
In the normal peeling process, the new leaf slowly absorbs the water and nutrients stored in the old leaf, and the old leaf slowly changes from solid and hard to soft and wrinkled until the old leaf (hereinafter simply called "old skin") becomes a paper shell; And the new leaves will grow slowly. During this period, there is no need for the outside world to provide water for it, because the raw stone flower is dry and rainless in the peeling stage of the origin.
If you rashly provide water to the raw stone flower at this stage, the old skin will always maintain its solid and strong state. In this way, the contradiction arises - the old skin will stand still and the new leaves will grow up desperately. Finally, there may be several results. First, the new leaf can't arch upward and can't rise around, so it has to break out from the weakest part of the old skin and become a freak; Second, the new leaf is held in the stillbirth; Third, the best result is also a helpless result, that is, the embarrassing situation of the coexistence of old PI and new ye (as shown in the figure below).

It can live comfortably and freely. We don't have to regard the water cut-off as a cruel abuse.

Expand knowledge - Characteristics of molting of stone flowers: in a sunny afternoon, the gorgeous yellow and white flowers of stone flowers compete to open to the sun. Its corolla is usually large and can even cover the whole plant. In the evening, the petals will gradually close. This situation of opening and closing at night will last for about 7 days. After the flower withers, after breeding in winter, it begins to split and molt once a year in the next spring. At that time, the new plant will rush out of the old plant and drill out from the crack at the leaf top. During molting, the old plant provides nutrients for the growth of the new plant, and gradually shrinks into a layer of dry skin, which is finally burst and completely molted by the new plant. Generally, after molting, one or two new plants will grow, and a few will grow 3 to 4. After molting, the raw stone flower gradually enters the dormancy period in summer, so again and again.
