How to make brocade out of red silk

1. Plenty of sunlight

The leaves of the succulent plant red silk are green under normal circumstances, but as long as it is placed in an environment with sufficient sunlight but a relatively cool climate, the leaves will appear purple-red, achieving a variegated effect. The beauty is guaranteed and it looks very beautiful. However, this method needs to be controlled, because the strong light in summer can burn and irritate the leaves, causing them to turn yellow and burnt, thus affecting their ornamental value.

2. Temperature difference control

Making good use of the temperature difference between morning and evening is also a good method. If the temperature difference during growth is not large, you can create the temperature difference artificially. First, place the red silk in a dark and cool place for a week, then choose a sunny day and take it out to dry in the sun at noon. This will also be successful. Because variegation is hereditary, as long as one leaf shows variegation, you can cut it off and use it as a cutting to propagate a whole plant.

3. Special methods

Natural conditions are more difficult to control, and it may be difficult to achieve the desired results. In addition to natural variations, some special methods can also be used. For example, through a certain amount of radiation, or the application of special viruses, but this method is not recommended as it may damage the plants.
