For flower lovers who like to raise succulent , if you want to raise a beautiful state, the most correct way is to do "subtraction" to leave those that are suitable for your own maintenance environment and gradually eliminate those that are difficult to come out. In this way, raising succulents will not only save you worry, but also have a sense of accomplishment. However, letting go is one of the most difficult things in the world, especially some common products that look very beautiful. They have been raised several times but have not been well maintained. However, every time I see them in the flower market, I will buy them again without hesitation. For example, Rainbow Jade belongs to this kind of succulents. It is difficult for varieties raised indoors to be in the ultimate state, but I always want to give up. I always want to try it and change to various proportions of pots and soil. What if I can develop that red and shiny state.
I have summarized the following reasons. One is that when this variety comes out of its state, it has bright red color and strong luster, and is particularly easy to grow in groups. It looks like a pot of red pearls, festive and beautiful, and it is powerless for people who like to grow flowers. Second, this variety has very strong vitality and grows very fast. Just a few leaves can grow into a large pot. It is a variety that is difficult to feed in a state. Third, as a general product, the price is quite cheap. If you have a large pot, the price will not exceed ten yuan. How can you not make people excited?
So, there are three reasons why it is not well maintained indoors. First, the coloring of this variety depends on large temperature differences. Even if the lighting conditions are good and there is no temperature difference, beautiful colors will still not appear. At most, it is based on the dark red pig liver color. It is obvious that the indoor temperature difference is difficult to satisfy. Second, the rainbow jade is very easy to grow , qi root , which often gives people the illusion of water deficiency. As a result, it will only go to heaven as soon as it is given water, which is very affecting the beauty. For impatient flower lovers, it is easy to give up them. Third, this variety has high requirements for ventilation conditions. If the air circulation is not good and the environmental humidity is relatively high, problems are likely to occur.
So can the rainbow jade be raised? The answer is that it can definitely be raised, but the maintenance method is different from most succulents. You need to pay special attention to the following. Let’s take a look at some of my maintenance experience.
First of all, when preparing pot soil for Rainbow Jade, it must have a certain degree of water retention. You cannot blindly use high-grained soil. If the watering cannot keep up in the later stage, it will cause damage to the root system of Rainbow Jade and affect its growth state. It is recommended that the proportion of soil in the particle should not exceed 40%, and try to use softer particles such as perlite. After taking the basin, you can pave it with hard particles such as maifan stone. If you can find the yellow sand for decoration, then half of the peat soil is the best match for indoor rainbow jade I have found. However, with this combination, the pot soil is heavier. As for the choice of flower pots, you should be a little more casual, both in size, because the rainbow jade can be raised or controlled, but there must be drainage holes at the bottom, so it is easy to grasp the amount of watering in the later stage.
Secondly, according to my maintenance experience, Rainbow Jade is a variety that is not afraid of sunlight. At least the high temperature of 37 degrees in summer has no effect on them. At this time, if it is in a dew-raising state and good ventilation conditions, they can also have a certain color. Therefore, for flower lovers, they can rest assured to bask in the sun when the temperature does not exceed 37 degrees. When the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, they should consider shade to prevent sunburn.
Although rainbow jade is resistant to sunlight, it is afraid of cold. When the temperature is relatively low, it is still necessary to keep warm, otherwise it is easy to cause frostbite. Try to ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 5 degrees and cannot be lower than 0 degrees.When watering, the main principle is to keep the soil in the pot slightly wet and dry. There should be no water shortage for too long. In summer and winter, the amount of watering should be less. Try to keep the soil in a dry state, which will help improve their ability to resist sunlight and low temperatures. Watering should be done in the evening in summer, and in winter, it should be done in a warm afternoon.
Finally, if you want to raise rainbow jade well, you must make full use of their strong reproductive ability. Once you find that they grow severely or have pests and diseases, you must beheaded early or choose healthy leaves for cutting and propagation. It takes only one growing season to turn into a full pot. My approach is also relatively simple and crude when they frequently grow qi roots, just pull them off directly. As long as they are not really water-deficient, there is no need to worry at all.
In summary, although Hongzhiyu is a common product, the advanced feeling of being in the state is not inferior to most expensive products. If there is an environment for breeding, then this variety is really not to be missed. If you don’t have a suitable maintenance environment and like this variety very much, you cannot have too high requirements for their condition. The red leaves with red tips and slightly yellow leaves have exceeded most flower lovers. Moreover, as the maintenance time increases, the old rainbow jade is easier to color and maintain.
