How to cultivate rainbow jade

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Rainbow Jade likes to be in a warm environment. Specifically, it is more appropriate to keep the temperature between 18 and 25 degrees. Too hot or too cold will cause some damage to it. Therefore, it is best to control the temperature in summer and not exceed 35 degrees. The temperature in winter should not be too low, preferably around ten degrees.

2. Light: It likes light, and good light will make its color look better. But it is also shade-tolerant and can tolerate partial shade. Too much light can harm it, so avoid strong light. Depending on its characteristics, it can be placed in a place with scattered light or semi-shade.

3. Watering: It is very afraid of waterlogging and has a certain degree of drought resistance. Therefore, watering should be moderate. Generally speaking, it is better to keep the potting soil in a semi-moist state during its growth period. In winter, it is better to be a little drier. Do not allow water to accumulate in the basin. When it rains a lot, try to avoid the rain.

4. Soil: It has requirements for nutrition, air permeability and drainage. It is best to use leaf mold and mix it with base fertilizer, sand and other substances.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Rainbow Jade is a succulent plant with thick leaves, so it is more appropriate to use leaves as material for cuttings, which is also known as the "leaf cutting method". Choose strong leaves and a good substrate. Do not insert too deep. After insertion, ensure humidity and the temperature should be between ten and twenty degrees.

2. Repotting: For rainbow jade, it is best to repot it once a year, otherwise unsuitable soil will seriously affect its growth. The flowerpot generally does not need to be changed because the rainbow jade will not grow too large. The most important thing is to choose the right substrate. If necessary, trim it appropriately.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: Relatively speaking, rainbow jade suffers from relatively few diseases. Occasionally, "leaf spot" may occur, which mainly harms the leaves. After the occurrence, clean the diseased leaves in time and spray with chlorothalonil.

2. Pests: There may be pests such as aphids. They will stick to leaves or other parts of the body and can be controlled with omethoate solution.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is a succulent plant, non-toxic, and safe to grow.

2. Can it be kept at home? It is very suitable to keep the rainbow jade at home. Recently, it has become very common to keep succulents at home for viewing.
