Twelve volumes are popular small succulents in recent years. Many varieties, different shapes, small and exquisite plant shape, exquisite and elegant, very suitable for personal cultivation and appreciation. Among the many varieties of the twelve volumes, there are twelve volumes of striped and crystal palms suitable for ordinary families, which are used to decorate several desks, desks, computer desks, window sills and other places with unique effects, and there are also varieties such as jade fans and Vientiane suitable for senior enthusiasts to collect and plant.
Twelve volumes are the general name of Liliaceae succulents and twelve volumes, with about 150 varieties. In addition, there are many horticultural varieties, hybrids, varieties and preferred species. * * * The same feature is that the plants are short, solitary or clustered, and most leaves are arranged in a rosette shape, with at least two rows overlapping or spirally arranged in a cylindrical shape. Racemes with small white and green flowers. Twelve volumes can be divided into soft leaf system and hard leaf system according to different leaf qualities.
Soft leaf system: the leaves are soft, short and fat, usually thick or truncated at the top, with transparent or translucent "windows" and obvious veins. Light can pass through the "window" and enter plants for photosynthesis. Such as twelve curly hair cold, green jade fan, blue crab, static drum, Bai Yinshou, Beijing Huajin and so on.
Most succulents of the genus Erjuana are native to South Africa. They like warm and dry environment, are drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging, and are suitable for growing in semi-shade or sufficient and mild sunshine. Avoid exposure to the sun, otherwise it will form ugly sunburn on the leaves, and the leaves will be dull and dry. Too much shading will make plants grow in vain, resulting in loose plant shape, loose leaf arrangement, reduced window transparency at the top of soft-leaf varieties, and inconspicuous wart process on hard-leaf varieties, which is not conducive to viewing.
Twelve volumes are neither cold-resistant nor extremely hot. Their main growing seasons are spring and autumn. Watering should be done "if you don't do it" to avoid water accumulation in the basin soil, otherwise it will cause rotten roots, but the basin soil should not be short of water for a long time to avoid dry leaves. When cultivating, the air humidity can be slightly higher, so that the cultivated plant leaves are fresh and moist and have a good appearance. Therefore, when the air is dry, water can be sprayed on plants. Some enthusiasts cover plants with transparent colorless beverage bottles or glasses with the upper part cut off, or put flowerpots in closed glass fish tanks for maintenance, and the effect is also very good. However, if inexperienced enthusiasts water it improperly, it will lead to rotten roots, rotten leaves and even the whole plant rot. The fast-growing varieties in the growth period should be applied with decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer once every 15 days, and the slow-growing varieties should be applied with fertilizer once a month. For varieties with particularly slow growth, a small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be put in the culture soil without fertilization to meet the needs of plant growth.
In summer, the temperature is high and plants are in a semi-dormant state. Although the growth did not stop completely, it was very slow. You can put the flowerpot in a ventilated and cool place for maintenance, avoid direct sunlight, do not apply too much fertilizer or water, and keep the pot soil not too dry. If plants are covered with glass and beverage bottles, they should be removed and ventilated to avoid the rot of plants caused by sweltering heat and humidity.
If the lowest temperature in winter is not lower than 12℃ and the plants can continue to grow, it is necessary to water them normally and apply some thin fertilizer appropriately. If you can't maintain such a high temperature, you must control watering, stop fertilization, and let the plants sleep and withstand the low temperature of 5 C.
Turn over the basin once a year in spring or autumn. The basin soil should be loose and fertile, well drained, with a certain granularity and a proper amount of calcareous sandy soil. Thick sand or vermiculite from humus soil or peat soil can be mixed. Because its roots secrete acidic substances, a small amount of calcareous substances such as bone meal can be mixed into the soil for neutralization. When turning the pot, remove rotten roots, hollow roots and lifeless brown old roots, and keep the yellow and white roots with strong vitality. Don't water newly planted plants too much, but spray water frequently to promote root recovery.
The propagation of twelve volumes can be divided into plants by turning over pots, or young plants and sucking buds sprouted next to old plants can be taken down and planted in the growing season, which is easy to survive. You can also take strong, full and complete fleshy leaves, air them for a few days, and then cut them when the wound is dry. After cutting, keep the soil slightly wet, new roots will grow at the base and new buds will sprout. After the new buds are slightly larger and the nutrients in the old leaves are exhausted and withered, they can be transplanted. For varieties with higher plants, such as paulownia, it can also be cut into several sections and cut after airing for a few days, which is also easy to survive. For some precious varieties, artificial pollination and cross breeding can be consciously carried out. When the fruit is ripe, collect the seeds and sow them. After emergence, there will be some mutant plants or plants with particularly prominent variety characteristics, which can be planted separately and become good products when they grow up. In addition, some people use tissue culture to breed in large quantities, making some high-end varieties mid-range and affordable for ordinary lovers.
