1、 Curing method

1. Soil: stone lotus likes to grow in sandy soil, but also has a certain ability to resist barren. Soil can be mixed when raising at home. The soil can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, river sand and a small amount of garden soil

2. Light: stone lotus is native to barren desert areas and can resist strong light. When breeding at ordinary times, it needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light. If the light is too strong in summer, it still needs to be shielded to avoid accelerated aging of its leaves

3. Temperature: stone lotus can grow in a high temperature environment, but it is not resistant to low temperature. It is best to keep it in the environment of 25 ~ 30 ℃. In winter, it needs to be moved indoors for maintenance, and it can be placed in a ventilated place in summer

4. Watering: its drought resistance is also particularly strong, so it doesn't need to be watered on time and on point, and a small amount of water can grow. But it should be noted that when watering, do not pour it into its leaf core

2、 Breeding skills

1. Reproduction: the simplest reproduction method is leaf insertion. Pick a stronger leaf on the periphery and put it on the soil, or insert it into the soil and wait for about ten days. The old leaf will grow fibrous roots and small leaves

2. Changing pots: it's best to change pots when the weather is sunny. When taking out the plant, pay attention not to tear off its roots. Pour water into the basin and put it at the astigmatism for a period of time to return to normal

3、 Diagnosis and treatment problems

1. Leaf softening: if one or two leaves at the bottom are soft, it is a normal metabolic phenomenon. If there is more water, it may be more watered. You need to take it out to dry the roots and put it in the basin again

2. Black weevil: This is one of the main pests. After discovery, it needs to be clamped with tweezers as soon as possible. If necessary, it needs to be sprayed with 500 times of 25% carbaryl wettable powder

4、 Other issues

1. Poisonous: stone lotus has no toxicity and does no harm to human body, so you can rest assured during maintenance

2. Can you raise it indoors: stone lotus can be raised indoors, but due to the shielding of glass, most of the ultraviolet rays can't enter, and the growth effect is certainly not as good as direct sun exposure. Therefore, in order to grow better, it is better to breed it outdoors
