Succulent rubies are relatively easy to raise and have little dependence on the climate. They can be fed in many areas. But for the time of light and the amount of water to control more strictly, maintenance will also lead to poor growth, so it can not be careless.
1. Soil: Ruby, like most succulent plants, is suitable for growing in soil with good drainage and air permeability. Generally, peat soil and perlite are used as matrix, not conventional garden soil, which is harmful to its root growth.
2. Light: Ruby needs a long time of light. When the light is insufficient, the leaves will turn green, but if the light is too strong, they will also turn black. Therefore, in summer high temperature season, we need proper shade to avoid strong sunlight. Other seasons to see light for a long time, can be put in the sun all day
3. Temperature: Ruby is resistant to low temperature and can grow at - 4 ℃. In the north of China, the temperature is low in winter, so it needs to be cultured in a warm place indoors, otherwise it will cause frostbite. Summer will enter the dormancy period, relatively high temperature.
4. Watering: Ruby is suitable for growing in humid environment, so water it frequently. But too much water will lead to blocked root respiration and even make it rotten, so water must be well controlled. Generally, water 1 - 2 times a day in summer, and stop in winter.
5. Fertilization: in the growing season, apply fertilizer to Ruby 2-3 times a month. Once every 1-3 weeks in winter. Fertilizer should choose thin cake fertilizer water.
