How to breed the succulent plant Takasago

How to breed the succulent plant Takasago

1. Basic Information

In order to deepen everyone’s understanding of Takasago no Obito and to increase the survival rate of later reproduction, let us first understand some of its basic information! The leaves of Takasago are emerald green and reddish brown. Strong light, large temperature difference and low temperature in winter will turn its leaves into dark red. The edges of its leaves are pink, and there are some white powdery substances on the leaves. In the summer flowering period, the flower spikes are relatively long and the color of the flowers is orange. When growing Takasago in a pot, you need to pay attention to changing the pot every two years. The diameter of the pot should be slightly larger so that it can stretch and grow naturally. The water requirement of Takasago is relatively low. Wait until the soil is dry before watering. It is enough to apply fertilizer once every quarter.

2. Reproduction Methods

The main propagation methods are branch cutting and leaf cutting, which can be carried out all year round. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Select strong and well-developed branches or leaves, cut them and place them in a cool place to wait for the cut to dry.

2. The soil you choose needs to be well-drained and breathable sandy soil. It can be made of perlite mixed with peat. After cuttings, apply a layer of clean river sand to ensure good ventilation.

3. After inserting the prepared branches or leaves into the soil, they need to be watered appropriately to ensure that they have the moisture needed for rooting. However, after they take root, the principle of not watering them unless the soil is dry should be followed. When caring for the plant, you should pay attention to the fact that it is better to keep it dry than too wet. It is enough to water it thoroughly once. You should wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it again next time. You should stop watering on consecutive rainy days and in winter.

4. You can add some base fertilizer to the soil when you first start cutting, but you don’t need to apply too much fertilizer during the growth of the plant. You only need to add organic base fertilizer to the soil again when you repot.

Takasago is very easy to grow. Whether it is branch cuttings or leaf cuttings, the survival rate is relatively high. I hope the method introduced by the editor can help everyone.
