Breeding methods and precautions

Breeding method

Propagation: generally, winter beauty has two propagation modes: cutting and leaf cutting. Let's talk about a relatively simple way of leaf insertion today. First take out its leaves and put them in a cool place for a few days, and then transplant them into a flower pot

Soil: Dongmei prefers loose soil with good drainage. It is recommended to use the soil mixed with perlite, peat and cinder in a ratio of 1:1:1. An appropriate amount of river sand and small pumice can be placed above the soil

Moisture: winter beauty likes to dry, so it's best to water after the soil surface is dry. Moderate water shortage will not affect its growth

Pruning: after the winter beauty grows for a period of time, its stem will grow excessively and affect its beauty. At this time, it can be beheaded. The cut leaves can be used for reproduction, but also promote the growth of lateral buds and make them more beautiful

Precautions

It is humid and hot in summer, so we must do a good job in ventilation and reduce the amount and frequency of watering. We should also reduce watering when the temperature is below 5 degrees in winter, and ensure that the soil is dry when the temperature is below zero. Fertilization should be carried out once a month during the growth period
