I fell in love with succulent plant . It was a few years ago when a friend took me to a private "base" for cultivating succulents to choose new varieties. It is called a "base", but it is actually a greenhouse in your own yard. When I first arrived, there were two big dogs in my house, and there were cameras on the yard wall, yard and greenhouse.
My friend told me that this succulent plant is well-known nearby. He goes to Africa 4 or 5 times a year to buy new succulent varieties to come back to cultivate. In other words, he cultivated the first generation of succulent varieties in China, and then my friend took the goods to cultivate the second and third generations of succulents, and then sold it.
At that time, I knew that this is how succulents come from. The first generation of succulents are very high, and even the second and third generations of succulents are quite outrageous. But now, many "succulent kings" have become "gifts". Just like my friend, the succulents are pulled and thrown outside the store, and no one wants them. The reason is really helpless.
For example, the former succulent kings, such as Guanyin Lotus , Helina , snow rabbit, cute rose, blue surprise , etc., were all high-ranking existences back then, and all have gone through a brilliant journey for various reasons. Take Guanyin Lotus as an example:
Succulent king "Guanyin Lotus"
Guanyin Lotus belongs to Syracuse , Succulent plants of the genus , and the leaves are relatively beautiful long spoon shapes, arranged in a certain order. Its plant size is not very large, and the crown width of a single plant is within 12 cm. It is a small and medium-sized succulent variety.
However, it has strong reproductive ability. During normal growth, baby cubs will burst out one after another around the plants. Sometimes a lot of baby cubs can burst out, clustered together, as beautiful as a blooming lotus.
If you want to talk about Guanyin Lotus, the ornamental value is still very high. They basically exist in a single form. You can also make a platter, and when you add other succulent varieties and Guanyin Lotus, the layering is very obvious, forming a staggered and colorful multi-color platter, which is also very popular.
Advantages of Guanyin Lotus:
① Strong reproductive ability
It has a very strong ability to burst the cub, and a little cub is a new Guanyin Lotus. And there is no need to be deliberately maintained or pruned. Just wait for the little boy to grow up slowly. After the little boy is basically formed, cut it off together with the head and stems under the little boy, and wait until the wound is air-dried and planted in pots.
②The maintenance difficulty is low
Guanyin Lotus belongs to the 年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年年� Whether it is planting small puppies, cuttings and breeding, or maintaining normal plants, the planting materials must be loose and breathable.
Guanyin lotus plant is not large in size and its root system is not well developed. If you want to raise Guanyin lotus well, you should not be careless in the planting material. If the viscosity is too large, it is not conducive to loosening and breathable. After watering, if the excess water cannot be emptied in time, it will cause the root system to rot.
On the basis of loose and breathable planting materials, it is also necessary to ensure that there is a ventilated environment when raising Guanyin Lotus indoors. In particular, after each watering, good ventilation should be maintained so that the excess water in the planting material should be discharged quickly.
These are the basics for raising Guanyin Lotus well, and only these are needed to raise Guanyin Lotus well.
Disadvantages of Guanyin Lotus:
①Prone to insect pests
ornamental value, low breeding difficulty, strong reproduction ability, etc., when Guanyin Lotus first entered the market, it was praised by many flower lovers to a very high level. It was known as the "Super Succulent King" and was veritable at that time. But in the later stage, Guanyinlian quickly went downhill, which means that some novice flower lovers were willing to accept it, and they were mostly given as gifts when buying other varieties of succulents.
Although there are many reasons for this situation, the main reason is that it grows too fast and pests are very easy to grow in the gaps in the leaves.
②Cannot spend the summer normally
In fact, there is a big reason for Guanyin lotus to spend the summer, and it is also about pests. When we water the Guanyin Lotus again, water droplets may splash into the gaps in the leaves. If this location is too humid, it is very easy to be infected with scale insects . If the pests are not processed in time, it will increase the chance of rot and water transformation. This is the main reason why the Guanyin Lotus, which is a novice flower buddy, is wiped out in summer.
③There are many diseases
During the growth process, Guanyin Lotus will not only cause frequent pests, but also breed sick leaves. It is necessary to discover and deal with it as soon as possible. It is best to pre-embed Xiaobaiyao , or spray it in advance, which can reduce the outbreak of pests and diseases.
④ Pinch off the foil in time
In addition, when it grows the foil, remember to cut it off as soon as possible. This is because the fuji and subsequent flowering will consume a lot of nutrients. The leaves of Guanyin Lotus are thinner and cannot store much nutrients. If the fujiji is not pinched off in time, it will affect growth at the least, and the severe case of the fujiji will occur.
is written at the end:
With these shortcomings, the existence rate of Guanyin Lotus becomes lower and lower, and it will be raised. The more you raise it, the more you get annoying, and it will be eliminated. Those who can't raise them are extremely depressed by diseases and pests. In summer, they are easily wiped out. Only fools will buy them for the second time. Gradually, there will be no one to raise Guanyin Lotus. No one cares about this former "succulent king".
