When people think of the idiom "golden branches and jade leaves", most people think of a rich lady of noble birth in ancient times, but most people don't know that there is a kind of plant, also called "golden branches and jade leaves". This plant is very similar to the Yushu we usually see. Xiaohua has a friend who can't tell the difference between the two plants.
This plant has a strong ornamental value at home. So how should we maintain the golden branches and jade leaves to make them grow as long as possible in winter?
1, we must choose the leaves of golden jade that have been growing for one or two years as the raw materials for making potted plants, and then design potted plants according to its growth posture and situation, because the leaves of golden jade that have been growing for one year contain many nutrients, and cutting planting is easy to survive.
2. We can wait until the branches grow thicker before we start designing. There are many shapes that can be designed. You can choose other shapes that you like, such as straight and dry.
3. The choice of flowerpot and soil, we can choose a bigger flowerpot. If you choose to use a stone basin, you must ensure that there are small holes under it to allow air and soil to circulate, otherwise it is likely to rot the roots. Golden branches and jade leaves need fertile and soft soil, good drainage and strong air permeability. We can choose to use Shui Pi, leaves and so on. And mix sand and pebbles with the soil we prepared in advance, so that the fertility is sufficient and the drainage is strong.
On the other hand, it grows faster. When pruning, don't choose to do it in summer. Don't water it immediately after pruning. Wait three or four days before watering, and you can't spray water. Be careful not to touch the wound. Next, let's talk about the maintenance of golden branches and jade leaves:
1. It's best to keep the temperature above 15 degrees when breeding, because it is not cold-resistant. Because it's cold now, we need to move it into the house. If the temperature is low, frostbite may occur. When the sun shines in winter, you must put it in the sun, so as to replenish energy and keep the temperature.
2. If you water it properly, you must avoid water accumulation in the basin. It is necessary to ensure that the basin soil is slightly dry in winter. After all, plants grow slowly in winter. On the other hand, if too much water evaporates, something will definitely go wrong.
3. Whether the golden branches and jade leaves should be fertilized in winter depends on their growth, but Xiaohua suggests not to fertilize in winter, because too much fertilization will cause the roots to burn, the plants will grow badly and die seriously. The above is the maintenance method of golden branches and jade leaves. According to this method, even a novice can raise a pot of golden branches and jade leaves.
