It likes light, and it should be placed in a warm and sunny environment all year round, which is the key to flowering.
2. Temperature
Spring and autumn are the suitable growth periods of Yushu, and the suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃.
In summer, the high temperature should be shaded to avoid direct sunlight, and the growth will be slow if it exceeds 38℃.
In winter, it is placed in a sunny place indoors, and the room temperature is 7- 10℃. If the temperature is as low as 0℃, it will freeze to death.
water
Yushu is a succulent and pulpy plant, which is very drought-tolerant. It is not advisable to water too much at ordinary times, and water it when it is wet or dry.
During the growth period of Yushu, water should be poured 1 time every 2-3 days, but no water can be accumulated. When cultivating outdoors, it is necessary to avoid heavy rain, otherwise there will be too much water in the roots, which will easily lead to the death of rotten roots.
Strictly control watering in hot and humid July and August. Moreover, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation, otherwise it is easy to cause deciduous leaves, and it is best to maintain it in a semi-shady place.
After autumn, water should be gradually reduced, and in winter, the soil in the basin should be slightly dry.
Step 4 apply fertilizer
Top dressing should be applied during the growth period, and generally, liquid fertilizer for decomposed pancakes should be applied 2-3 times a month. In order to maintain the full shape of Yushu, the fat water should not be too big, so as not to cause puffiness growth.
5. Preventive measures
(1) pruning. Yushu pruning can be done according to everyone's hobbies. If the crown is round and plump, the long branches will be cut off when pruning, which will make the crowded branches overlap too much, so that the external crown of the plant is complete and the internal branches are properly spaced. If the tree is long, the old trunk is thick and the crown is not round, it can be trimmed or stump bonsai, and some branches and leaves can be cut off according to the needs of modeling.
(2) change pots. Change pots every spring. 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.
