1. Maintenance methods1. Light: Bigleaf ruby needs sufficient light. Place it in a sunny place and allow it to receive long periods of sunlight. Insufficient light can easily cause its leaves to turn green, leading to poor growth. 2. Temperature: Big Leaf Ruby has higher requirements for temperature. It goes dormant during summer and winter, causing the plant's growth to slow. If the temperature drops below minus 4 degrees Celsius in winter, the plant will be frozen and needs to be placed in a warm place. 3. Watering: Bigleaf Ruby prefers a humid environment. Water it more frequently in summer, 1-2 times a day, and keep the soil in the pot moist. In addition, you can also sprinkle water around to increase the air humidity. 4. Fertilization: Bigleaf Ruby does not require much fertilizer. During the growing season, apply cake fertilizer water once a week, but no fertilizer should be applied in winter. But for plants grown in a greenhouse, you can continue to fertilize them because they will not enter a dormant period. 2. Breeding techniques1. Division: After pinching the big-leaf ruby, many small plants will be grown. In the spring of the following year, separate the small plants and plant them. 2. Cuttings: As a succulent plant, Big Leaf Ruby can naturally be propagated by cuttings. Cut off the full leaves, let the wounds dry, insert them into plain sand, and wait for them to germinate. 3. Pest and disease control1. Disease: Leaf spot is a common disease of big-leaf ruby, which causes spots to appear on the leaves and then leads to wilting. The diseased leaves need to be removed and sprayed with carbendazim for prevention and control. 2. Pests: Scale insects are relatively common and need to be captured and eliminated manually. In addition, the soil should be turned over in winter to kill the larvae. |
