Purple Xuanyue is a very beautiful succulent . When it is out of state, its branches and round and full leaves will turn purple, and it looks like a beautiful purple grape . It also produces small yellow chrysanthemum-like flowers, which are beautiful to keep at home.
It is hot and rainy in summer. Although Zixuanyue does not have an obvious dormant period, the hot and rainy weather can easily cause root rot. Sister Rong's Zi Xuanyue had root rot a few days ago. This is mainly because the place in Jinzhou, Shijiazhuang, Hebei where Sister Rong lives, often experiences high temperatures and rainy weather.
After the roots of Zixuanyue rotted, Sister Rong cut off the rotten roots and then took cuttings. In this way, one pot could be transformed into multiple pots without emptying the pot. How did Sister Rong do it?
Trim the rotten roots
Recently, in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, where Sister Rong lives, rainfall often occurs, and it is at the level of heavy rainstorms. This time, Sister Rong failed to shelter Zi Xuanyue from the rain in time, and as a result, root rot occurred.
After Zixuanyue had rotten roots, Sister Rong took Zixuanyue out of the flower pot and cut off the rotten roots. When pruning Zi Xuanyue, you need to prune it more harshly, that is, remove all the rotten roots, stems, and leaves, leaving only the vigorously growing branches.
Processing of Zi Xuanyue branches
After pruning Zi Xuanyue, cut the branches into small sections of 5 to 8 cm. The specific length can be determined according to the branches. Then place them one by one in order to dry the wounds well so that they will not become watery and rotten after the cuttings are made.
Purple Xuanyue branches should be placed in a well-ventilated place to dry the wounds, and the sun should not be too strong to prevent the branches and leaves from being sunburned, which will make it difficult to take the cuttings to the pot. Drying the branches usually takes about 4 hours. Because the stems of Zi Xuanyue are relatively thin, they contain very little water.
Cuttings of Zi Xuanyue
After processing the branches of Zi Xuanyue, they are the cuttings of Zi Xuanyue. While the wound is drying, you can prepare flower pots and soil for Zi Xuanyue.
flowerpot: For cuttings of Zixuanyue, there are not many requirements for the flowerpot. Even the plastic flowerpot can be used as long as it has good water permeability. Sister Rong used a gallon pot.
Soil: The soil used for cuttings of Zi Xuanyue is preferably soil with better water permeability and air permeability. Do not use soil that is too wet to prevent root rot after cutting. The soil used by
sister Rong is a mixture of granular soil and leaf humus soil, and there is more granular soil. The ratio of granular soil and leaf humus soil is 4:6. Soil like is loose, breathable, and has good drainage, and is also conducive to the growth of Zi Xuanyue.
cuttings: When cutting Zixuanyue , fill the mixed soil into the flowerpot to about two centimeters below the flowerpot, and then compact it gently with your hands. Prevent the soil from sinking too much after watering.
Use a bamboo skewer or chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the soil, about two to three centimeters apart. Then insert the Zi Xuanyue branches into the small holes, bury them in soil, and then water them thoroughly.
Put the cut Zixuanyue in a well-ventilated place with scattered light. If the soil of the cuttings is moist in September, do not water them in a hurry to prevent root rot again. That is to say, wait a day or so and then water it thoroughly.
After the soil dries out, water it once to prevent water from accumulating in the flower pot.
After the soil dries out, water it once for water permeability. This prevents too much water from accumulating in the flower pot and prevents root rot. In summer, it is best to water Zixuanyue in the morning or evening. Do not water during high temperatures at noon to prevent the growth of Zixuanyue.
In addition, high temperature and high humidity often occur in summer, so Yang Zi Xuanyue also needs to be well ventilated. It is best to raise Zi Xuanyue in a well-ventilated place, so as to help it take to the basin faster.
In addition, there are frequent rainfalls in summer. In order to prevent Zixuanyue from root rot again, needs to move Zixuanyue to a place sheltered from rain to prevent Zixuanyue from getting root rot again before it is potted. This leads to the situation of empty basins.
After being put in a pot, it will gradually receive sunlight.
Purple xuanyue without a pot can be kept in a scattered light or bright place. Do not keep it in strong sunlight to prevent it from drying up before it is put in a pot.
After the purple xuanyue has been put into the pot, do not move it directly to the sun, because the purple xuanyue seedlings at this time are too small and tender, and they will easily burn or die if exposed to the sun. It needs to be exposed to sunlight gradually, and then it can be raised in sufficient sunlight.

Zixuanyue root rot in summer is mainly caused by high temperature and rain. Once Zixuanyue has rotten roots, it is necessary to cut off the rotten root system in time and then re-cut it to turn one pot of Zixuanyue into multiple pots. Before taking it into the pot, don't water it too much, don't expose it to the sun, don't get wet in the rain, and do good ventilation, so that Zi Xuanyue can take it into the pot quickly, and then the pots will be beautiful.
