Jinzhiyuye likes fertile and loose soil with good drainage and strong air permeability. You can choose to mix rotten leaf soil and garden soil, and add appropriate amount of river sand.
As for the flowerpot, try not to use white porcelain basin. The small knitting has been tested for everyone, especially the one bought by the roadside for 5 yuan. The air permeability is terrible. Plastic basin, clay basin and purple sand basin are all good choices.
Jinzhiyuye likes sunny environment, and leaves will be red in the sunshine. However, in the summer high temperature period, shade should be timely to avoid strong light, and the fleshy leaves are easy to dehydrate and burn. In winter, it is necessary to ensure sufficient sunlight, put the plant in the sunshine, and keep the leaves green.
The most suitable temperature for the growth of the leaves is 15-25 ℃, which is not cold resistant. In winter, the temperature should be controlled above 10 ℃, and it is easy to be frostbitten below 5 ℃. The temperature should be well controlled both in and out of the room to avoid the damage of plants.
From spring to autumn is the growth period of the Portulacaria afra, which can be watered properly to ensure that the basin soil does not accumulate water. In high temperature season in summer, spray water around the plant to increase air humidity. In winter, water should be properly controlled to keep the basin soil slightly dry. It should be noted that when watering the Portulacaria afra, it is better not to dry them than to flood them.
The fertilization method of Jinzhiyuye is very simple. If the mature liquid fertilizer is applied once a half month, the content of potassium fertilizer can be increased properly if the growth is weak, and the fertilization will be stopped in winter.
Portulacaria afra turn basin once every two years in spring, cut off the aged roots, replace 1 /2 of the original soil, and plant with new culture soil.
Portulacaria afra sprout strongly. They should be pruned frequently to ensure the beauty of the plant type. It can be combined with turning basin to carry out heavy cutting of Portulacaria afra, cutting all the branches that are thin and affect the plant type.
When cultivating Portulacaria afra, you can add some soybeans to the soil, improve the soil, and release nitrogen fertilizer. In addition, when replacing new soil, try not to mix sawdust, corrode charcoal and other things in the soil, so as to avoid the rotten root caused by the suffocation of indoor maintenance environment.
In winter, timely move the gold and jade leaves to the room for maintenance, and control the temperature above 10 ℃. If you don't enter the room in time, a large area of leaves will appear. The commander is not very beautiful!
