Jinhuangxing is a succulent plant of the genus Lotus of the Sedotae family. It is a common species of cultivation in the genus.Its thick leaves are covered with short white fluff; in an environment with sufficient sunlight and large temperature difference, the edge of the leaf will be inlaid with bright red.A string of orange -red flowers will bloom in winter or early spring, which is very beautiful.
Morphology
Perennial small shrub -shaped plants, gray -green ovate inverted lanceolate, thick meat -like impeller -shaped, full, ellipse pointed,3cm-4cm long, 2cm ~ 2.5cm wide, and about 1cm thick. Under the sunlight season, the leaf end and upper edge are red.The tan stems are stick -shaped, 0.8cm ~ 1cm, lying horizontal at the lower end, branches, 15cm ~ 20cm high.Late autumn to early spring from the branches, the flower stems are pulled out of the branches, the bright red 5 petals, the small flower bell shape, the semi-blooming, the flower length is 1-5cm, and the scion-shaped inflorescence.
Growth environment
This kind of habit is strong, drought -resistant, and avoid water stains.Light light, and durable, should be cool, dry and sunny environment, avoid water and dampness and sweltering.It is not advisable to water too much during the growth period. The potting soil is too wet, which will cause the stems and leaves to grow. The distance between the leaves is stretched, the plants are not compact, and the value of ornamental value is reduced.It can grow normally at the semi -yin, but the redness of the leaves and leaves will reduce and even disappear.A strong resistance to ultraviolet rays.
Distribution
Native Mexico.All parts of China have potted planting.
Main value
Jin Huangxing is a kind of succulent plant with a relatively common cultivation. Its thick and fleshy leaves are covered with short white hairs. The red and eye -catching red at the top of the leaf edge is reflected with a string of orange -red flowers bloomed in winter and early spring., Extremely beautiful.Potted balconies, Desks, and coffee tables are vivid and interesting.Jin Sihuang is relatively rare, and succulent plant enthusiasts often collect and cultivate as varieties.There is no function to absorb radiation.
Breeding method
Jin Huangxing's reproduction can be cut off during the growth period, and the cuttings and leaves can be survived.
The branches are generally cut into the top branches with leaves, about 10 cm long, inserted into the sand soil, and can take root in 10-15 days.The leaves are cut off the leaves. After drying the incision, insert or lie on the sand bed, keep it slightly tide, take root for about 20 days.Leaves are not difficult, but the commonly used reproduction methods are cutting young plants for cutting.
Cultivation technology
1. Environment: Jin Huangxing likes to dry, warm, and sunshine. It requires good sandy loam soil with good drainage. Avoid water accumulation and fear of low temperature. It is best to keep at about 10 C in winter.
2. Fertilization: Jin Huangxing fertilizes once a month to keep the leaves green and green.Do not be too thick at a time, and the root of the thick Fertilizer.However, excessive fertilization causes the period of the interview and affects the attitude.If the branches are long or aging, you can cut short fertilization and update the restoration.For every 15 to 20 days, apply low nitrogen, high phosphorus, and potassium. When fertilizing, pay attention not to splash the Fertilizer on the leaves, so as not to form ugly spots, it is difficult to remove.
3. Watering: Jin Huangxing should not be watered during the growth period, the pot soil is too damp, the stems and leaves are easy to grow, the leaves and roots are mildew, and the value of ornamental value is lost.Especially at low temperature conditions in winter, too much moisture, and the roots are prone to rotten death.
4. Change the basin: Jin Huangxing changes the basin every year in the early spring, and adds a loose and fertile rotten soil, cultivated soil and rough sandy mixed soil.
5. summer: There will be a short dormant in the summer of Jinhuangxing in the summer, and the bottom leaves will fall dry. Reduction should be reduced. Do not spill the rain on the balcony cultivation.
6. winter: Jin Huangxing is placed in the indoor sunlight in winter, keeps the temperature of 6-8 C, and controls watering to prevent rotten roots caused by low temperature and humidity.
Management and maintenance
Like dry, warm, and sunny environments, require good sandy loam soil with good drainage, avoid water accumulation, afraid of low temperature, and the most room temperature in winterKeep it above 0 C.
Change the pots in early spring every year, add loose and fertile corrupt leaves, cultivate soil and rough sandy mixed soil.It should not be watered during the growth period, the pot soil is too damp, the stems and leaves are easy to grow, the leaves and the root mold are rotten, and the value of ornamental is lost.Especially at low temperature conditions in winter, too much moisture, and the roots are prone to rotten death.In summer, there will be a short dormant, and the bottom leaves will fall off to reduce watering.The balcony cultivation should not be sprinkled.As a succulent plant, it is adapted to the barren and low -fat soil, as potted plants, and does not need to be fertilized.Fertilization caused the extension of the interview, affecting the attitude.If the branches are long or aging, you can cut short fertilization and update the restoration.
Put the indoor sunlight in winter, keep the temperature of 6-8 C, and control watering to prevent rotten roots caused by low temperature and humidity.It is not appropriate to water at high temperature in summer, otherwise the leaves will shrink and fall off due to rotting the roots, and strengthen ventilation to prevent heavy rain from spinning.
Diseases and insect prevention
Mainly occurring leaf spots and rust hazards, and sprayed with a 50%rusty wettable powder 2000 times.Sometimes there is a harmful disease of the root width, and it is controlled by 3% Dan particles.Insect pests have black phenomenon hazards, and use 40%oxidation to be 1000 times liquid to kill.
What to do
Before beheading is the most effective way to deal with the long -term."Beheading" is actually the "top bud" in the production of crops, which is called "top advantage" in botanical.During the growth and development of plants, there is a close relationship between top buds and side buds.When the top buds are strong, it will inhibit the growth of the side buds.If the top buds stop growing due to some reason, some side buds will grow rapidly.This phenomenon of top buds is superb, suppressing side bud development and other phenomena is called "top advantage".Therefore, when the top bud is beaten, there will be many side buds emerging.This is also the fastest way to solve Succulent plants and make one of them the fastest.
Step 1: Cut it after selecting the position to be beheaded.Step 2: Remove the cut head 2 to 4 leaves at the base, which is convenient for the cut head to push into the soil and take root.After trimming, put the roots in a ventilated position.Step 3: Insert the head healing of the wound into a new soil, the head will recover the compact beauty.The leaves under the leaf are used for leaf inserts, and each leaf has a new life.After the beheading head, the old root will make many side branches because of the removal of the top advantage, forming a long head.
The key to a variable strain after beheading is:
1. Remove the leaves of the lower part of the branches can effectively reduce the chance of wound rot.
2. The fleshy beheading, do not touch anything in the wound, wait for the healing of his wound.
3. After beheading, put it in the glassware. The excessive utensils may cause the lower end of the bullish note to curl.The humidity of the air without watering and the air in the utensils is enough.
Why not bloom
1. For Succulent plants, flowering depends not only on nutrients, but also depends on light, temperature differences, and even the dormant period. As long as it is not long and nutrients, it is very happy to bloom and even ignore the season.
2. Light is the most important. For most meat plants, the environment that requires full -day or half -sunlight can be developed normally. Insufficient sunshine and lack of water cause delay in plant growth, which only maintains the current situation.If the sunshine is insufficient, and continuous water supply is added, it will cause long or even rot. It is very good to not go away, no rotten necrosis, and don't bloom anymore.
3. Some Succulent plants have flowers with flowers, but they have not bloomed, or they withered only half of them, which is because of insufficient nutrients.
precautions
1. Put the indoor sunlight in winter, keep the temperature from 6 C to 8 C to control watering to prevent rotten roots caused by low temperature and humidity.It is not advisable to water at high temperature in summer, otherwise the leaves will be withered and fall off the leaves caused by rotting the roots, and ventilation will be strengthened to prevent heavy rain from being spinning.
2,Turn the pot once a year, and the pot soil requires loose and well drainage.It is commonly used to use 1 part of rotten soil, garden soil, and coarse sand. After mixing it, use a small amount of Bone powder as base Fertilizer.
3. After 4 years of maintenance, Jin Huangxing, the plants are prone to aging, and the new seedlings should be cultivated to update the old strains.
