Maintenance Tips

Watering

Grow it in dry conditions and water it less in midsummer. The soil in the pot must be completely dry before watering.

illumination

Tachibana likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight, except in summer when proper shading and ventilation should be provided.

Fertilization

Long-acting fertilizer can be applied once in summer, and generally succulents do not need to be fertilized.

Pot soil

Use a flower pot with good ventilation, preferably with ventilation holes at the bottom of the pot. Peat mixed pellets can be used for planting.

Repotting

Repotting should be done every 2-3 years. Choosing a container with a diameter 1-2 inches larger than the plant diameter will help promote plant growth.

Breeding precautions

In summer, it is best to use a shade net to provide an appropriate amount of shade, and then slowly cut off watering. During the plant's dormant period in summer, give less or no water. When the temperature begins to drop in mid-September, you can slowly resume watering.

Also remember to give a little water to the roots of the plant in winter. Avoid spraying or watering too much. Once moisture stays in the center of the leaves for too long, it will easily cause rot. When the weather is clear and the ventilation is good, you can use a spray of clean water to clean the dust accumulated on the leaves to keep the color bright.

Reproduction method

The main methods are leaf cuttings and cuttings, which can be carried out throughout the year with a high survival rate.
