Breeding skills

Moisture

Dew seed flower originally grew in the desert and has strong drought tolerance. In the first year of cultivation, it is necessary to ensure sufficient water and follow the principle of seeing dry and wet

Soil

Dew flower is very drought resistant, so the soil should be dry and slightly moist under good ventilation. The growth rate of dew seed flower is very slow, and the basin soil can be changed according to the situation

Fertilization

The growth rate of dew seed flower is very slow, so thin fertilizer should be applied frequently. Usually use green manure plus Cuiyun chicken PP, use light green manure in the periphery once every 10 days in the early stage, and use chicken PP once every 15 days when growing vigorously. In early summer, diatomite plus avermectin should be sprayed once a half month to prevent red spider aphids

Breeding mode

Sowing method

The seeds of dew seed flower are small and the hypocotyl is short. The general sowing method of succulent plants should be adopted. They should be sown in the finely granular soil. After sowing, they should not be covered with soil, keep the soil moist and transparent, and germinate after about a week

Curing after sowing

After germination, the film covering shall be gradually uncovered for ventilation, and the watering times of soaking basin shall be reduced to avoid soil hardening. The plants will blossom in a year

Precautions

This is a succulent plant, which can grow normally all year round, mostly flowering in summer, but the flowering period is often only one or two days, and only opens under strong sunshine and self pollinates. Among them, the ornamental value of ice flower (root dew flower) is very high. If you need to obtain a larger root, you must use sowing and reproduction. The fruit of dew seed flower is a capsule, which is dry after maturity and should be collected in time to avoid cracking after being exposed to water
