How to breed succulent plants

For those who breed more meat, how to keep meat well is always a topic worthy of further study, because different regions have different climate and environment, so the local climate and environment should be fully considered when maintaining more meat. So next, let's see how a senior flower friend from the North maintains his meat. These experiences are also worth learning for novice flower friends.

Huayou coordinates: Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province;

Flower cultivation experience: love flower for more than ten years, contact Sedum for four years, into the pit for two years;

Climate characteristics: the highest temperature in summer is 37 degrees, generally 35 degrees is the limit. From November to march in winter, the lowest temperature is - 18 degrees. Generally speaking, the lowest temperature is - 15 degrees. The climate is characterized by less rain in summer, windy in spring, short time in autumn and great fluctuation of temperature.

Breeding environment: my breeding conditions, outdoor windowsill, a small platform about 8 flat, indoor in winter.

Variety preference: I like the big lotus seat, the European product, and the big Qunsheng also like it. I have a general feeling of being small and cute.

Well, the basic situation is introduced, and the following is the specific breeding experience.

Many friends who have just entered the pit are worried about it, but the old birds have nothing to do with it. Why? Because the veteran knows that basin, soil, water, fertilizer, environment and plant are the unity of interaction, it is meaningless to pay attention to one of the factors alone. For example, if the pot is very transparent, then the soil particles are finer, so there is no problem; if the soil is coarse particles, and the content of fine particles is very small, then it is necessary to water frequently; if the organic matter such as peat in the soil is relatively high, then the need for fertilizer is very small; if the ventilation is good in the growing season, then the fertilizer and water can be supplied freely; and so on. Of course, novice lack of cognition, or should be conservative operation.

1、 On the selection of basin and soil

I like rough pottery basin, first of all, it has good permeability. Secondly, because I have too much perlite in the soil, the pottery basin can ensure the stability of exposed cultivation, and will not be blown over by the strong wind.

The volume ratio of coarse perlite, northeast pine needle soil and limestone debris is about 5:3:1, with a small amount of charcoal, activated carbon and nut shell.

3、 About watering

I like watering type, according to the season, different soil, different plants. When not growing season, slide along the edge of the basin, once every 10 days. The growing season may be once every five days, with flood irrigation. For water loving varieties such as staghorn Begonia, increase the frequency.

4、 About fertilization

I like to use water and fertilizer once every half a month in the growing season. When watering, I add homemade fruit enzyme, homemade EM bacteria liquid, biogas liquid, calcium treasure (a trace element mixture), potassium dihydrogen phosphate, heavy superphosphate, urea, etc. I call it cocktail fertilization method. Of course, controlled release granular fertilizer is also used.

5、 Disease and pest control

Even if there are no pests or diseases, proper medication is still necessary. About two months will use pesticides, fungicides mixed with water irrigation root. Abamectin and imidacloprid were used as insecticides, carbendazim was used as fungicides. In winter, the bactericide will be used intensively.

6、 Sunshade, rainproof and antifreeze

When the local summer sun is also poisonous and spicy, I feel that 33 degrees is the limit in the local area. If it is lower than 33 degrees, there is basically no need to shade. When entering the house, it is more than the need to shade the varieties that are not resistant to sunlight,

This is an arid area in the west of Liaoning Province. There are few rainy days, so rain prevention is not a problem.

In spring and autumn, antifreeze is a big problem. The low temperature season is the golden season of Sedum. We are reluctant to give up the open cultivation and have to guard against the disaster of extinction. My experience is that most Sedum varieties can survive the weather with the lowest temperature of minus 5 degrees, and a small number of varieties such as evergreen grass can withstand minus 8 degrees.

7、 Pollination breeding

In order for Sedum to bloom at the same time, they should be allowed to grow in the same environment, so that they can complete the hybridization well. I like to use dental applicators as pollinators. In the flowering period, we should pay attention to the health status of the mother plant. At this time, the loss of the mother plant is serious. Once the mother plant is found to be weak, we should cut off the foil, improve the growth conditions and rejuvenate as soon as possible.

8、 Sowing and seedling raising

I like sowing in spring, when the seeds are fresh, after two months of seedling stage, it is safer to spend the summer. The soil for sowing is a mixture of peat soil, peat soil, coconut bran soil, vermiculite and fine perlite. Before sowing, the mixture of Carbendazim and water was used to kill bacteria. The seeds were sown on the surface of soil without covering soil. The seeds were placed in a bright place in the room for about a week. We should keep the alternation of dry and wet, exercise strong seedlings, give enough light to prevent overgrowth. Insecticides should be used in time to prevent insect pests.

9、 Cultivation of old piles

Old piles are very beautiful, but they should not be encouraged. Some people break leaves to make old piles. Such old piles do not taste good enough. Time, patience and waiting time are the magic skills of the magician. With proper human intervention, there will be surprises.
