Other people's flowers grow well if they are raised at will. Your flowers, soil, fertilizer, light, water and temperature are all in place, but they can't live. In fact, maybe it's not that you can't raise them, but that you won't choose when you buy them. Some common plant selection skills are sorted out, and experienced flower friends are welcome to add.
Fleshy
1. Bare root succulent selection:
① It is better to choose the plants with fibrous roots and roots that do not wither, so as to develop new roots in a short time after being bought back and planted. If there are several succulent plants of the same batch with different colors, they are likely to have root problems.
② After the flesh of bare root reaches the hand, it needs simple root pruning, shaking off the excess soil, removing the withered and rotten leaves and fibrous roots, and retaining the taproot. The wound can be smeared with dry sulfur powder, or it can be put in a cool and ventilated place to dry for one or two days.
2. Pot meat selection:
If the plant has been planted in the pot, check whether it is new. If it is a new plant planted before the sale, the pot soil is soft, shaking the plant will have greater shaking. This kind of plant did not develop new roots, so it is necessary to avoid strong light and control water content after purchase. Generally, normal management can be carried out gradually after one to one and a half months.
3. Combination of meat selection:
It is necessary to pay attention to whether the habits of different species are similar. It will bring inconvenience to the maintenance in the future if the species with different requirements on light, water and cultivation medium are cultivated together.
4. Suitable season:
① For families with low room temperature in winter, they should avoid the dormancy period from November to march of the following year when they choose succulent plants which are not resistant to cold. Otherwise, in case of continuous low temperature weather, the plants are difficult to survive.
② Autumn is the best season to buy more meat, and it is better to maintain. The meat bought in spring is often cultivated in autumn and winter, with little resistance. Avoid buying near summer, because succulent plants are really important to spend the summer. If you are not in good condition, you will feel sad in the summer, and you may become disabled after surviving.
5. Observe the pest damage
The insect pests of succulent plants are mostly hidden in the back of leaves or between branches, and the patterns and color spots of succulent plants are taken as the cover, so careful observation is needed when selecting. Generally, meat from greenhouses is treated with insecticidal and sterilization. If you buy meat by online shopping, you should open the package in time and ventilate the meat, especially in summer, so as to avoid black rot.
