Introduction: Also known as Yushu, it is native to southern Africa. I like a warm, dry and sunny environment. Not cold-resistant, afraid of strong light, slightly resistant to shade. The soil is fertile sandy loam with good drainage. The temperature is not lower than 7℃ in winter.
Propagation: Cutting propagation is commonly used. In the growing season, the full top branches with a length of 8- 10 cm are cut off, slightly dried and inserted into the sand bed, and take root about 3 weeks after insertion. You can also use single leaf cutting and dry it after cutting. Then insert it into the sand bed, take root about 4 weeks after insertion, and put it into the pot when the root is 2-3 cm long.
Cultivation: Change pots and add fertile soil every spring. Swallow's paw grows fast. In order to keep the plant plump, it is not advisable to have too much fertilizer and water. Water 2-3 times a week during the growing period, and strictly control watering in hot and humid July-August. Poor ventilation or excessive water shortage in midsummer can also cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off, so they should be maintained in a semi-shady place. After autumn, watering gradually decreases. When cultivating outdoors, avoid heavy rain, or there will be too much water in the roots, which will easily lead to the death of rotten roots. When changing pots every year or putting houses in autumn, attention should be paid to shaping and pruning to make the plant shape more elegant. The main pests and diseases are carbon susceptibility and leaf spot, and 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder 1000 times can be sprayed. The indoor ventilation is poor, and the stems and leaves are vulnerable to scale insects. Use 40% omethoate emulsion 1000 times solution for spray killing. The application of Yushu flower has a beautiful crown, green stems and leaves, and white flowers at the top, which is very elegant and unique. Decorative coffee tables and desks are more attractive if they are made into small bonsai with basin frames and gravel.
