Wanchongshan potted cultivation methods and precautions (Wanchongshan daily maintenance tips)

First, soil preparation and planting

Wanchongshan is a plant that prefers neutral soil. Slightly acidic soil is easily moist during the rainy season, which can easily lead to root rot or rot at the connection between the fleshy stem and the soil.

Neutral soil can reduce the occurrence of such a situation. It is usually recommended to use ceramic pots to plant Wanchongshan to increase air permeability and water permeability .

The planting material for Wanchongshan can be directly sandy soil with 1/3 perlite and 1/3 humus soil. In order to adjust the soil to be neutral, you can add 10% bone charcoal powder. After fully stirring, leave it idle for about a month, and then you can plant Wanchongshan.

It is not advisable to plant too deep, as the root system is not well developed and has high requirements for respiration. It is sufficient to plant shallowly, and then use bricks to support it first. After it takes root, remove the stump.

Second, the maintenance environment

Wanchongshan is a plant that has strong adaptability to the environment. It can be grown in a location with sufficient light, or it can be given only bright light.

It is not afraid of exposure to the sun and has good shade tolerance. The only disadvantage is that when the temperature drops to zero degrees, it needs to be protected from the cold and brought indoors for the winter.

When the Wanchongshan is maintained in a location with sufficient sunlight, it is necessary to pay attention to replenishing water in summer. Even in Xiamen, where the temperature often exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, as long as attention is paid to replenishing water, no shade is needed. The maintenance location should be kept as ventilated as possible.

Flower lovers who keep the Wanchongshan indoors should also pay attention to watering. However, it is recommended to keep the soil dry for a long time, and water it outdoors once a month. In sunny weather, take the Wanchongshan to a well-ventilated place and water it thoroughly.

The rest of the time, you can use a spray to wet the trunk to replenish water. In other words, Wanchongshan only needs to be watered about 15 times a year.

Third, fertilize the mountains

Wanchongshan is very resistant to barrenness and drought, and does not require frequent fertilization.

For the Wanchongshan plant maintained outdoors, it is recommended that you water it with a little "organic fertilizer water" every month in spring and autumn. Dilute the fermented rice water with water in a ratio of 1:3, and pour it on the flower soil during the watering period.

For indoor maintenance of Wanchongshan, you can move the Wanchongshan outdoors in spring and autumn, adapt for about a week, and then fertilize it. It can be moved to a position with scattered light indoors 15 days after fertilization.

Fourth, pruning

The beauty of Wanchongshan lies in its columnar fleshy stems that grow like undulating mountains.

When growing naturally, fleshy stems often squeeze and deform each other, so the columnar fleshy stems must be regularly selected and pruned.

You can refer to the standard pruning method of landscape bonsai, so that the fleshy stems growing together can be hidden and exposed, empty and real, far and near, high and low.
