Requirements for soil

Generally, the most common one-to-one mixing method of peat soil and perlite is adopted. For young plants and white birds just branching, the peat soil should be softer, which is easy for new plants to take root; For adult plants older than 2 years, the proportion of sand and particles shall be slightly increased in the soil preparation method, and the proportion of peat soil to sand and particles shall be one to one

Requirements for watering

White bird is a succulent plant of cactus family that is resistant to drought and low temperature. It does not need a lot of water. If the water is too large, it is easy to rot. at ordinary times, the soil in the basin should be kept dry. After the soil is dry every time, pour enough water again. You can't just pour the soil on it until the water flows out from the bottom of the basin. When winter comes and the temperature is lower than 2 ℃, the white bird will automatically enter the dormancy period. At this time, watering is not allowed. Too much water will lead to rot and frostbite of the white bird's roots. When high temperature comes in summer, high humidity will also cause decay

Requirements for illumination

White birds like the sun, but they can't be directly exposed. Once exposed to the sun for a long time, the whole plant will become soft and grow slowly. It's best to place it in a bright place, but they can't be directly exposed to the sun. When the temperature is high in summer, we should do a good job in shading and ventilation, moderate moisture, and avoid a muggy and humid growth environment. It's best to put it in the house in winter to avoid frostbite. The sunshine in winter is warm but not blazing. It can be placed in the sun all day and watered a little when the temperature is more than 2 ℃

Requirements for reproduction

The growth period of white birds is very short, so it is difficult to cultivate them directly. For self root cultivation, we must control the watering amount, be slightly dry, and have plenty of sunshine. At present, the breeding of white birds is mainly in three ways: sowing, branching or grafting. The most common way is to graft white birds on the ruler, but we must avoid watering from the top
