How to cultivate purple seal

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: Loose, fertile loam with good drainage and air permeability is the best choice for potting soil. You can mix leaf mold, vermiculite and garden soil in a ratio of 1:1:1, and add a small amount of organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.

2. Light management: It prefers light. If it is kept in a shady environment for a long time, the purple color of the leaf edges will fade, the leaves will become thinner, and the plant will wilt and become lifeless. In the summer, you can provide some shade to avoid direct sunlight from burning the plant. In the winter, you should place it in a well-lit location indoors for maintenance.

3. Water management: It likes dry environment and is relatively drought-resistant. When the temperature is low in winter, watering needs to be restrained. The other three seasons are its growing period, and irrigation should be strengthened at this time to provide sufficient water. When the soil in the pot is dry, just water it thoroughly once. If the soil in the pot is not easy to water thoroughly, soak the flower pot in water and then take it out. When watering, be sure to water evenly to avoid rot.

4. Temperature management: It likes a warm environment and has relatively poor cold resistance. It is suitable for growing at a temperature of 18℃-28℃. The room temperature should be maintained at no less than 5℃ in winter.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction method: Its main method of reproduction is cuttings. During the vigorous growth period, you can use sterilized instruments to cut branches with good growth as cuttings, remove the bottom leaves, and dry them in the sun for one to two days before cuttings. The survival rate is very high.

2. Pruning method: Its pruning can be combined with repotting in spring every year. Cutting the long ones and keeping the short ones can promote flowering of the plant. Because it grows vigorously and its branches grow quickly, you should pay attention to timely pruning of branches that affect the plant shape and timely shaping to maintain the beautiful shape of the plant.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Wilted leaves: It is a light-loving plant. If it does not receive enough light, its leaves will wilt and lack vitality. It is best to place it in a sunny position for maintenance.

2. Frostbite: It is dormant in the low temperature winter. At this time, watering should be restrained and the room temperature should be maintained above 5℃ to prevent the plant from frostbite.

IV. Other issues

1. Placement: It is easy to maintain, and the plant has upright branches and leaves, beautiful plant shape, and bright purple leaf edges that are quite charming. It can be grown as a foliage plant in a well-ventilated sunny location indoors.

2. Who is it suitable for gifting: The edges of its leaves are charming purple under the light, making it a perfect gift for women who love succulents.
