Ruolu's family breeding and precautions

How to grow Ruolu at home

Light temperature

If the green plant is grown in a sunroom with full sunlight, the soil must be kept moist during the growing period to avoid waterlogging.

If the green can withstand low temperatures of around -2°C, it is the indoor temperature, not the outdoor temperature. If the temperature is lower, the top growth point of the leaves will be frostbitten, dry up and die, and new side branches will sprout again in the withered place next year.

Watering

There is basically no water supply throughout the winter, and the water supply will be gradually cut off when the temperature drops below 5 degrees.

During the high temperatures of summer, the growth of the entire plant slows down or stops completely. At this time, good ventilation and appropriate shading are required to avoid exposure to the sun, watering should be controlled, and the plant should not be exposed to rain for a long time to prevent plant rot.

Fertilization

Don’t apply too much fertilizer, as it will cause the plant to grow too tall!

Reproduction

If it is green for propagation, it is usually beheading. Take healthy branches with growth points, cut them into sections about 3 to 5 cm high, dry the wounds and then plant them in cuttings. You can also plant them directly in dry granular soil and give them a small amount of water after a few days.

Ruolv is a variety that is very easy to reproduce. Many small roots can easily grow between the leaves, and when it encounters suitable soil, the roots will be firmly rooted in the soil.

Another advantage of beheading propagation is that it can give the mother plant a better shape. New growth points will sprout again at the place after beheading, and some will sprout two branches.

Things to note when breeding Ruolu

prune

During the cultivation process, Ruolu needs to be pruned frequently to cut off the messy branches in order to maintain the beautiful shape of the plant.

Watering quantity and frequency control

The most important thing to note is that the amount of water must be small and the frequency of watering must be low. Since Sedum has a weak root system, it requires good drainage conditions, especially in winter when excess water needs to be drained as quickly as possible, otherwise it will cause root rot.

Light treatment during the growth period

The growing season of Ruolu is from September of each year to June of the following year (shortened or extended appropriately according to the differences between the north and the south). If there is insufficient light, the plant will grow too tall, the distance between leaves will be lengthened, the plant shape will be loose, and the leaf stems will become tender. Plants grown in places with sufficient sunlight will be short and strong, and the stem nodes will be relatively compactly arranged.
