How to cultivate fairy cup

illumination

Fairy cup likes a mild sunshine environment and is particularly sensitive to high temperature weather. Therefore, it needs proper shading in summer, increased ventilation in hot weather, and reduced watering or even watering. On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure sufficient sunlight so that the leaves of the fairy cup will be bright in color and the plant shape will be more compact and beautiful. If there is too little sunlight, the leaf color will become lighter and the leaf arrangement will appear loose, seriously reducing its ornamental value.

Watering

In summer, the fairy cup enters a dormant period. At this time, you should give it less water or no water, because excessive water and high temperature can easily cause root rot. After September, the temperature begins to drop and you can slowly resume watering. If the temperature is above 0℃ in winter, you can water it normally, otherwise you need to cut off the water supply to avoid frostbite and root rot. Although winter is cold, it does not mean that you should not water the plant throughout the winter. You can choose to water it slightly at noon when the temperature is suitable. It is suitable to water the plant at the edge of the pot away from the roots of the plant. Do not spray it to prevent the plant from rotting due to water staying in the center of the leaves for too long. In spring, when the temperature rises, normal water supply can be gradually restored.

Pot soil

The potting soil for the fairy cup should be a mixture of peat particles, coal slag, river sand, etc., and it should be breathable.

Reproduction method

Fairy cups can be propagated by sowing and beheading, or by taking side buds for cuttings.

Precautions for breeding fairy cup

Fairy cup is a large plant. Depending on its growth status, the pot should be changed every 1-2 years. The pot diameter can generally be 1-2 inches larger than the plant diameter, which is conducive to promoting plant growth.
