Stone flower is a kind of succulent plant with unique morphology. If you want to raise a good stone flower, you must master its habits. It is an indoor flower plant, which is neither suitable for outdoor planting nor suitable for planting. Must be kept in the greenhouse all year round, avoid water. In daily maintenance, you should be careful not to violate its growth law and demand. So, how can we raise stone flowers? Uncle gardener will teach you how to keep stone flowers healthy. The specific cultivation methods and precautions of Lysimachia christinae in flowering period are as follows: 1. Soil: Lysimachia christinae has less strict requirements on environmental conditions and is easy to cultivate and manage, but it is more suitable for growing in loose neutral sandy loam. The soil in the basin should be loose and breathable, with good drainage and coarse particle size. It can be made by mixing 2 parts of humus soil, 3 parts of coarse river sand or vermiculite, and adding a small amount of bone powder as base fertilizer and bactericidal drugs such as bactericide and thiophanate-methyl. It can also be planted with synthetic materials such as ruby soil and fairy soil. The effect is good, but the production cost is high. 2. watering: the original stone flower needs more water during the growing period. When watering, you should master the principle of "don't dry it, water it thoroughly". However, attention should be paid to the permeability of the basin soil, and it should not be too wet, otherwise it is easy to grow moss and affect the normal growth of spherical leaves. Remember to reduce water properly in summer and winter to help molt. Potted stone flowers. Sunshine: Stone flowers like sunshine and avoid strong light. Keep it in the shade in summer, and pay attention to the shade at noon. Only by ensuring sufficient sunshine can its leaf color be more beautiful. Because the temperature in spring and autumn is not very high, it should be given direct sunlight to facilitate its photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients. In winter, it should be maintained indoors in a bright place. 4. Temperature: Xinjiang Arnebia euchroma is afraid of high temperature and sultry, and prefers a warm winter and cool summer climate. Its optimum growth temperature is 10~30. In hot summer, when the temperature exceeds 33, it goes into hibernation. Avoid cold frost. The overwintering temperature should be kept above 10. When the temperature drops below 7 in winter, you will also go to sleep. If the ambient temperature is close to 4, you will freeze to death. 5. Fertilization: Stone flowers need to be fertilized once every half month, but the fertilizer water must not pollute the spherical leaves. February to April in spring is the molting period of stone flowers. At this time, fertilization should be stopped, watering should be controlled, and compound fertilizer should be applied after molting is basically completed to make it grow healthily. Fertilization is suspended after flowering in autumn. Shihua 6. Pot changing: Pot changing and stone flower planting will be carried out in autumn. When changing pots, take the plants out of the soil, shake off the soil at the roots and try not to hurt the capillary roots. Cut dry old roots and rotten roots, and then plant new culture soil. You can plant the same variety of stone flowers or even different varieties of stone flowers in a larger flowerpot, or you can plant each plant in a small flowerpot separately. 7. Pests and diseases: leaf spot and leaf rot mainly occur, and 600 times of 65% zineb wettable powder can be sprayed. There are also ants, root-knot nematodes, root scale insects and other pests. Change the soil to reduce the invasion of nematodes and root mealybugs, or irrigate the roots with abamectin. To prevent ants, you can use a basin to hold water, so that ants can't climb the tender and juicy spherical leaves. It is suggested that the root system of stone flower is underdeveloped, and it is best to raise it in a small flowerpot. When the soil in the basin is dry, water it in the morning or at night. In the autumn flowering period, we should ensure sufficient sunshine and avoid growing too fast without flowering.
