Breeding method

temperature

The suitable growth temperature of immortal refers to 19-32 ℃, 7-13 ℃ in winter, and can withstand low temperature of 1 ~ 2 ℃. Proper shading and ventilation are required in high temperature season in summer.

illumination

Immortal refers to a slightly shade resistant nature, and it is best to put it in a semi Yin environment. Like sunshine, we should give appropriate light all year round, otherwise the branches and stems will become thinner, flowering will be less, flowering period will be short, and the ornamental value will be greatly reduced. Avoid direct sunlight in summer and do a good job in shading. In addition, cactus refers to short light plants, and the daily light time should be controlled within 10 hours.

soil

It is suitable to grow in soil rich in organic matter and well drained. It grows poorly in cohesive soil, and 20 ~ 30% river sand should be mixed into basin soil.

apply fertilizer

Do not like big fertilizer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is better, and thin fertilizer is applied once every two weeks.

watering

Immortal refers to the drought tolerance. During management, the basin soil should be dry and wet. Do not water too much, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot. Water well in the growing season. During the low-temperature dormancy period in winter, keep the basin soil dry.

matters needing attention

Control moisture

Winter needs to go through a frozen and dormant stage, otherwise it is difficult to bloom. After being frozen, it needs to be kept dry until it is about to bloom, and there is no need to water during this period.

After entering the spring, it is still not watered. When the flower buds are the size of soybeans, it can start watering, which can promote the immortal to point to more flower buds and facilitate flowering.

During the dormancy period after flowering and high temperature in summer, it is necessary to control water, prevent rain and avoid rotten roots.

Turning basin and trimming

Turn the basin once every 2 years, and the substrate can be rotten leaves

Pest control

Focus on prevention, and pay special attention to the prevention and control of scale insects and stem rot. Drugs for general diseases and pests can be mixed, and carbendazim, methyltobutrazine and other drugs can be used alternately.
