1, cultivate soil
Golden branches and jade leaves can only thrive in loose, fertile and breathable soil. Therefore, when potted golden branches and jade leaves, we must prepare nutrient soil suitable for their growth. Such as 2 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of sandy soil or cinder, and a small amount of decomposed bean cake is added and stirred evenly to prepare culture soil. Soft and fertile soil can promote the growth and development of plants and make them produce more beautiful flowers.
2, water should be sufficient
Golden branch jade leaves are fleshy stems and leaves. Although they have certain drought resistance, they should keep enough water in the vigorous growth period and the soil in the basin should not be too dry, otherwise the plants will grow poorly and have thin leaves due to lack of water. In the case of keeping enough water, don't water it too often, and avoid water accumulation in the basin, otherwise it will easily lead to root rot.
Usually, the principle of "no watering, no watering" is adopted to make plants grow sturdily. In summer, water evaporates too quickly, and the demand for water increases. In addition to normal watering, you can often spray water on plants and their surroundings to reduce the temperature and moisten the growing environment.
Step 3 increase sunlight exposure
Golden branches and jade leaves are plants and flowers that like light, and can only grow vigorously under the condition of sufficient light. If you want it to grow strong, you should provide plants with enough water, fertilizer and light in peacetime. After autumn, potted plants can be maintained in a sunny environment, which can accelerate the growth of plants.
Generally, the new branches and leaves with sunshine will grow purple, bright and particularly lively, while the branches and leaves without sunshine at ordinary times are emerald green, mostly thin. Therefore, the potted plants with golden branches and jade leaves should be placed in a well-lit place to maintain a good growth environment and make their branches grow and develop rapidly.
Step 4 supplement nutrition
The branches and leaves of the golden branches and jade leaves germinate faster and have a great demand for nutrients. Strong branches should have enough nutrients to maintain their growth. In the process of plant growth, you can use a lot of water and fertilizer to grow branches first, and you can apply more fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. For example, you can add more than a dozen grains of urea to water at a time, dilute them and pour them into flowerpots. Before the flowering stage of pregnant buds, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be gradually increased, for example, some dilute potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be poured to promote the flowering of plants.
Usually, fermented cake fertilizer can be applied once every half month, and the fertilizer applied each time should be weak, otherwise it will easily burn the root system and lead to root rot.
Step 5 prune the branches
In order to keep plants beautiful and reduce nutrient consumption, they can be pruned and reshaped frequently. Because plants grow faster and branches germinate faster, some dead branches, weak branches, cross branches, overlapping branches and long branches can be cut off to reduce the nutrient consumption of reserved branches and keep the tree clear and dense.
In order to make the tree more ornamental, the ideal shape can be achieved by winding branches. Golden branches and jade leaves are fleshy stems. In modeling operation, we should pay attention to the gentle action, and don't let the wire break the stem, otherwise it is easy to infect germs from the wound and cause the stem to wither. According to the characteristics of different trees, plants can be made into various shapes, such as oblique stem, straight stem, curved stem, cliff shape, jungle shape and so on.
The leaves of Rosa davurica have strong germination ability. As long as we keep enough water, fertilizer and light, it will soon become thicker and stronger, and the branches will gradually lignify. Then through continuous pruning and shaping in the later period, the potted plants will be shaped into beautiful bonsai.
