The breeding method of Yachiyo

Breeding points

The reproduction of the eight-thousand-year plant is relatively easy, and it can easily survive by cuttings or leaf cuttings during the growing season. If you have already grown 8,000 generations of cuttings, you need to pay attention to the following points during maintenance:

temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of Hachimansia is 15-25 ℃, and the winter temperature is above 3 ℃. The temperature is too high in summer, so pay attention to ventilation.

illumination

Hachiyo is a light-loving plant. When grown at home, it should be given plenty of sunlight and placed in a well-ventilated place. When the temperature is suitable, it is best to grow it outdoors.

soil

Generally, sandy soil with good drainage and ventilation is selected, which can remove excess water in time when watering. The plant should be repotted once every two years in spring, at which time the roots can be pruned to remove necrotic old roots.

Watering and fertilizing

Water thoroughly during the growing season, once every 10 days, and fertilize once a month with a thin layer of fertilizer.

prune

Prune frequently and cut off the dry old leaves in time to avoid bacterial growth. If the plant appears to be elongated or grows too high, the top branches and leaves can be pruned to shape it, and the cut parts can be used for cuttings to form new plants.
