How to breed Xiaoyu

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It can withstand low temperatures, and even zero degrees Celsius will not affect its growth. It is sensitive to temperature, especially when it exceeds 30 degrees, its growth state will slow down.

2. Watering: The growth speed is relatively fast during the growth period, so water replenishment must be guaranteed. The soil should be kept moist for a long time. After entering the rainy season, water should be controlled appropriately to prevent the roots from being soaked in water for a long time. When the temperature drops below zero, stop watering. The purpose is to keep the soil dry so that the plants can safely overwinter.

3. Fertilization: It generally grows very fast, so its nutritional requirements are relatively high. It needs to be fertilized once a week. In addition to fertilizing the soil, it also needs to use foliar fertilizer. The frequency of using foliar fertilizer is once to twice a month.

4. Light: It likes a living environment with plenty of sunshine, warmth and humidity. It can receive full-day sunshine during the growing period. The temperature in summer is higher, so it is not suitable for it to receive full-day sunshine at this time. It needs 50% shade at noon, or it can be placed directly in a cool place for maintenance. At other times, ensure sufficient light. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to grow too long and the color of the leaves will change from red to green, affecting the appearance.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by cuttings. Compared with other succulent plants, its reproduction success rate is relatively high. You can just insert the healthy leaves directly into soil with sufficient nutrients.

2. Pruning: It grows very fast and can easily overflow the pot. In order not to affect the appearance, it is necessary to prune away the branches that are not growing well. This can also concentrate nutrients and allow healthy plants to grow better.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Pests: It is easily infected by mealybugs, scale insects, snails and other pests. Usually, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is free of insect eggs and the maintenance environment is free of insects and bacteria. If unfortunately infected, it is necessary to spray it with a 1000 times aqueous solution of sterilization spirit.

2. Pathology: If its branches and leaves begin to rot, it may be because of excessive watering, which causes the roots to be soaked in water for a long time and unable to breathe. At this time, you need to dig out its roots, remove the rotten parts, disinfect the incision and then replant it.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: Although it is non-toxic, it is not suitable for consumption. After all, it does not taste very good and has no edible value.

2. Toxicity: It is non-toxic to the plant after application and can be cultivated with confidence.
