What are the breeding methods and precautions for jade dragonflies?

Jade dragonfly breeding method

The jade dragonfly is also known as the "centipede coral". It can be propagated by cuttings, sowing, division and grafting. It is a relatively easy plant to maintain and prefers a warm growing environment. However, it is not very cold-resistant, so it needs suitable temperature to grow in winter.

1. Flower soil

When planting jade dragonflies, people generally choose to use fertile, loose, and well-drained flower soil. They can use garden soil, leaf mold, and some river sand.

2. Watering

Jade dragonflies are generally watered according to their species, because some hibernate in summer and some in winter. However, the amount of watering needs to be increased during the growing period, and watering needs to be controlled during the dormant period.

When watering the jade dragonfly, you should pour water along the edge of the pot to prevent water from dripping onto the leaves. Also, you should water it in moderation to avoid water accumulation, otherwise it will cause root rot.

3. Temperature

For the jade dragonfly, the most suitable growth temperature is between 15-28 degrees. It prefers a warm growing environment, so it needs a suitable growth temperature in winter.

4. Fertilization

When fertilizing the jade dragonfly, it is usually done during the growth period. You can apply some compound fertilizer. It should be noted that it must be a fertilizer with a relatively low concentration. It is best not to fertilize during the seedling stage.

5. Pruning

When caring for the jade dragonfly, it is necessary to pinch the top of the plant, which will allow it to grow more branches and make the plant more compact. Some of the tighter branches and leaves should also be thinned out.

Precautions for breeding jade dragonflies

When caring for the jade dragonfly, you need to be careful. When choosing a planting pot, you can use a purple clay pot, which is more conducive to growth. When watering, you should do it according to the condition of the soil, and it should also have sufficient sunlight.
