Breeding methods and precautions for Qianyu Crane

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Crane truncatum grows best in loose and breathable granular soil. In order to keep the soil clean, it is best to disinfect it before use.

2. Water: It hates waterlogging. When watering in spring and autumn, you should water the soil thoroughly at once, and then wait until it is completely dry before watering again. In winter and summer, you need to control the water content. If water accumulates for a long time, it will easily cause root rot.

3. Light: It likes light. As long as there is a chance for it to be exposed to sunlight, try to let it receive sunlight. If it does not get enough light for a long time, it will even revert to being an Echeveria. In summer, be careful to avoid exposure to the sun.

4. Temperature: 20℃~30℃ is the most suitable temperature for its growth. When the temperature exceeds 35℃ in summer or the temperature is lower than 10℃ in winter, it will stop growing and needs to be well maintained.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Cutting: This is the most commonly used propagation method. In spring, cut healthy old plants and cut them into several small plants. After the incisions are dry, they can be directly cut into the soil.

2. Summer: It is not resistant to high temperatures and will stop growing above 35°C. It should be moved to a cool place in time, and the amount of water and nutrients should be controlled and well maintained.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Root rot: Root rot is the most common disease, and it is also very afraid of root rot. If there are signs of root rot, drain the water in time and add a small amount of carbendazim when watering.

2. Scale insects: Scale insects are very disgusting. They will stick to the plant and suck the juice, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. In severe cases, they can directly cause death. If there are only a few, just pick them out manually and crush them to death. If the amount is large, spray it with Flower Protector in time for prevention and control.

IV. Other issues

1. Can it be exposed to rain: Try to avoid it from being exposed to rain, because failure to drain the water in time after rain will cause root rot. Try to keep it in a dry place where it won’t be exposed to rain. If you place it on a windowsill, remember to close the window on rainy days.

2. Can pregnant women keep it? It does not emit any odor or harmful substances that are harmful to pregnant women, and it is non-toxic, so pregnant women can keep it.
