Raw stone flowers, nicknamed raw stone flowers, ingots, like hoofs, butt flowers, are stone bamboo eyes, and apricot students are generally known as all plants. There are about 40 species.Perennial meat quality herbs, almost no stem; spherical leaf color variable color, hard leaf epidermis, variable color, the top with dark branches -like depression patterns, or pattern spots, called "window".There is a crack on the top of the plant, blooming in the cracks, single flowers, daisy, 2-3 cm flower stems, white or yellow, flowering during the summer from midsummer.
Native to southern Africa, like warm, dry and sunny environment, afraid of low temperature, avoid strong light exposure.Low temperature.It should be grown on a loose and breathable neutral sandy loam soil.The breeding method has sowing and divisions.
The shape of the raw stone flowers is strange and beautiful, making many enthusiasts collect and cultivate, which has high ornamental value.
Morphology
Raw stone flowers are perennial meat quality herbs.The plant has a large meat root, but in the natural state, the main roots rarely have side roots. Only a few beard roots are connected with a capillary root at the end of the gradual and thinning main roots. When the main root is broken, the side roots will germinate.
The root stem is extremely short, with a circular oval in the plant, 2-3.5 cm high.The above part of the ground is two pieces of meat -linked meat leaf, which shows an inverted cone. The leaf color is white, light gray, brown, blue gray, gray green, red, purple red, etc.Leaf wedge, semi -circular, oval or kidney -shaped, symmetrical or asymmetric.Single leaves are 18-50 mm long, 13-38 mm wide, and 2-50 heads of group plants.The top of the plant has dark branches -shaped depression patterns, called "window"; the plant's leaf meat is transparent, the bottom of the leaves is rich in chloroplasts, and the sun is entered from the window into the plant and the photosynthetic effect is performed.
There is a crack on the top of the plant, about 1-4 mm deep, flowering in the cracks, single flowers, daisy, 2-3 cm of flower stems, white or yellow, flowering during the midsummer period from summer to Mid-autumn Festival.Room 5-9, the seeds are yellow-brown, light yellow-brown or brown, with spots.
Common variety
1. Fulai jade
Small species in raw stone flowers, the sphere is round, 2 cm high, 1-2 cm in diameter, often about 20 heads, spherical leaves light gray cyan, top brown -green branches -shaped patterns are obvious.Blossom, white.
2,
Pattern jade
We commonly known as purple patterns are it. In 2011, it was discovered and has a conspicuous purple -red top and body color.Purple varieties are relatively rare, and the probability of purple body color during sowing is between 7%and 31%.The growth habits are the same as other varieties.
3. Rimyu
Plants are easy to live.A single plant usually has only one pair of raw leaves, forming an inverted cone with a diameter of 2-3 cm, and the size of the individual is very inconsistent.The basic color of the leaf surface is brown, which is also different, with dark spots.Yellow flowers bloomed in September, with a diameter of 2.5 cm.Sunwan jade is a kind of strong habit in the genus of raw stone. It is not obvious to sleep in summer.

Nature namibia.The diameter of the plant body is 1.5-2 cm, and the light green to the pink leaves have uneven end surfaces, and there are dark green dark spots on the end surface.
5. Mrs. Li
Fanxing student Shihua, originally native to South Africa.Open small white flowers, yellow pollen, and the epidermis has a faint green.
6.
Deserted jade
The barren jade is a precious product of raw stone flowers. It is a large species and does not like to split heads. The maximum single head can reach about 50mm.It is a very strong variety, which is happy and water, and the characteristics of dormant in summer are not obvious.
Growth environment
The raw stone flowers like the winter and warm the cold weather in the winter, the warmth and dryness and the sunlight are full of environment, afraid of low temperature, avoid strong light exposure, the appropriate growth temperature is 10-30 C, the temperature in winter is not less than 12 C, and the short-term tolerance can be 4-5 .Low temperature.
It should be grown in a loose and breathable neutral sandy loam soil, and appropriately reduced water in winter and summer to help molt.
Plants enter the dormant period after blooming, and the new leaves develop in the central state of the old leaves. Later, the old leaves withered, shed away, and provided nutrition to the new leaves.At the end of the molting, the old leaves were completely dry, and the new leaves entered the growth period.
Distribution
Rock seams and semi -desert areas are native to South Africa and Namibia.There are many places in the world for viewing.
Breeding method
1. Sowing
Sowing is a common breeding method for raw stone flowers.Raw stone flowers are usually sowed from April to May, due to species
The child is small, and the indoor basin is generally broadcast. It does not have to be covered with soil after sowing, otherwise it cannot be germinated. When the pot soil is dry, the basin should be used for watering. Do not water it directly to avoid losing the seeds.The sowing temperature is 15-25 C.After about half a month after sowing, the seedlings gradually saw the seedlings after the seedlings. The seedlings were only soybeans, and the growth was extremely slow. Management must be cautious.Generally, water is poured once and once every 3-5 days, and real seedlings need to be bloomed for 2-3 years.

Division
The raw stone flowers grow new meat leaves from the gap in the middle of each year, rupture the old leaves, and the old leaves died with shrinking.The new leaves grow rapidly, and in the summer, it shrinks and cracks, and 2-3 young and new plants grow from the gaps.
Cultivation technology
1. Pot soil
The raw stone flowers and the planting and planting are all carried out in the autumn. When the pot is changed, the plant will from the soil
Take it out, shake off the soil at the root, and try not to hurt the hair root.Cut the dry old roots and rotten root systems, and then plant them with new cultivation soil.Both raw stone flowers of the same variety and even raw stone flowers of different varieties can be planted in a larger flowerpot, and each plant can be planted separately in a small Flower pot.Potting soil is required to be loose and breathable, good drainability, and thick granularity.2 parts of humus soil, three parts of rough river sand or vermiculite are mixed, and a small amount of Bone powder is mixed with sterilization drugs such as bactericidal Fertilizers and sterilization, methyltotobin.It can also be planted with artificial synthetic materials such as red jade soil and fairy soil, and the effect is very good, but the production cost is high.

Water and Fertilizer
From February to April in spring is the molting period of the plant, this
Time should stop fertilizing, control watering, and make the original old Skin dry early.
Some people like to peel off the old Skin with their hands when there are signs of peeling, so that the small plants inside can see the sun as soon as possible to help growth and development and make them short and strong, but the lack of experienced growers will hurt the young plants when peeling.Should be cautious.The Compound fertilizer was applied again at the end of peeling to make them grow strong.
Watering time is usually when the temperature is low at night or early morning. Do not water it when the temperature is high during the day, so as not to cause damage to the plant due to the sudden reduction of the temperature.Avoid rain, especially long -term rain or rainy rain during cultivation, otherwise it will cause the top of the plant to rupture due to excessive water absorption.Watering and mastering the principle of "do not dry or pour, watering is transparent".
For every 20 days, the rotten thin liquid Fertilizer can also be applied to the soil to slowly absorb a small amount of low -nitrogen, high phosphorus and potassium.
3. Light
Raw stone flowers grow slowly or completely at high temperature in summer, under the condition of good ventilation
Give sufficient light, wait for the soil to be completely dry and pour a small amount of water.If the soil is not breathable and the cultivation environment is poorly ventilated, the plant will rot.If you cultivate in greenhouses with poor ventilation in summer, avoid direct light radiation, control watering, and even completely break the water, so that the plants can sleep in a dry environment and spend hot summer.
The autumn temperature is cool and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is the main growth period of the plant and the flowering season. It requires sufficient sunlight.If the light is insufficient, the plant will grow long, the meat leaf becomes thinner, the color is dim, the pattern at the top is not obvious, and it is difficult to bloom.

temperature
Spend
Raw stone flowers are afraid of high temperature and sweltering environment, and like a cool environment, so pay attention to placing the position when maintenance in summer. It is best to place it in a cool place. If it is placed in a place where the temperature is too high and hot, it will make it dormant, which will cause it to not continue to continueGrowing up and dying.The most suitable temperature is 10-30 degrees Celsius, so pay special attention to temperature changes in summer.
5. ventilation
Ventilation is extremely important for raw stone flowers. Insufficient ventilation plants are susceptible to mold, and even prone to water.Therefore, the growth environment is more important, and the ventilation is good, so that there will be no problem with the plants. If there is no wind, you can use an electric fan to artificial ventilation of the plant to increase the chance of planting in summer.
Diseases and insect prevention
The main hazards of leaf spots and lobe rot can be sprayed with 65%Daisen zinc wettable powder.Insect pests have ants and root width harm, and use soil changing methods to reduce wiring damage.To prevent ants, you can use the pelvis to keep it in water, so that the ants cannot climb on the soft and juicy spherical leaves.
Main value
The shape of the raw stone flowers is unique, the plant type is small, the height of the fleshy, the leaf shape, the leaf color and the color of the color are rich
It is difficult to change, and it is difficult to cultivate.It looks both cute and mysterious, and it has also become a collection of collection of succulent plant enthusiasts.Because of its shape, it is rich in color stone, rich in color, and enjoys the name of "stones with life".
There are many types of raw stone flowers, exquisite and natural, and are one of the more popular small succulents in the market.
precautions for raw stone flowers breeding
1. When the weather is cool, when it does not rain, that is, when it is about 15 degrees, it is generally 11, 12, and April. Watering can wait for the soil to completely dry.After soaking the basin, the soil is wet for a long time. After the pot is soaked, a barrel should be ventilated and sufficient.If it is not easy to grow, it is generally used in March and April.
2. Most of the time I use the watering pot to water, and it feels like the pot can be soaked about 2cm on the surface of the pot soil.Do it quickly. If the weather is good and ventilated, it will basically dry for 3 days. After staying through the dry, you can water it again for 3 days.It is not easy to grow.
3. If the plant is found to die, the diagnosis of suspected bacteria is made, do not spray the medicine anymore, the more the soil is wet, the dead seedlings are removed directly, and placed in a place with good light ventilation.Generally, the fungus is not saved.
4. Look at the weather forecast. Do not water the rainy weather for a long time.
If there is a direct light at noon, it must be shade when there is light at noon.
6. Do not spray the mouth too close to the seedling when spraying water, it is easy to spray the seedlings!
7. Balcony households, after the summer passes, Nantai began to light in. Don't think that the light in autumn is not strong enough. After 10 am in September and October, the Shading must be before 3 pm.
In August and September, after plant recovery and growth, insecticidal drugs should be sponsored in a timely manner.In May and May, pesticides should be put in time.There is no need to take off.
