Before breeding, we must make clear the growth habits of Spiegel, which is the first step of breeding any plants and flowers! The origin of the mirror is in the Canary Islands. The climate in this area is dry and hot in summer, with very little rain. It is mild and humid in winter. Therefore, the mirror likes to grow in a cool and dry environment, and it needs sufficient sunshine. It can stand semi cool and dry environment, but it can't stand water logging.
Next, let's take a look at the problem of how to raise them. The editor has summed up a few points for your reference.
To water the mirror, we must pay attention to the principle that if the soil is not dry, it will not be watered. If it is watered, it must be watered through. We must avoid ponding, otherwise, its root will rot.
The mirror needs enough sunshine, especially in winter, it should be placed indoors in a place with good light and ventilation. Lack of sunshine will make its leaves yellow.
The minimum temperature of the mirror can't be lower than about 10 ℃, so it can grow normally, but if it's lower than this temperature, we must water less to keep the basin dry, so that it can sleep safely. The minimum tolerance temperature of the mirror is 5 ℃, and if it's lower than 5 ℃, the whole plant will die.
Mingjing likes fertile and loose soil with good drainage. It can be prepared by mixing garden soil and river sand evenly. Of course, it can also add some bone meal to add calcium to the soil. In general, every one or two years to choose in the spring or autumn to mirror a basin.
In summer, when the temperature is high, the mirror will grow slowly or stop growing completely. At this time, it must be placed in a well ventilated and cool place, and it must not be exposed to the sun, and no one can pour too much, let alone rain, to prevent the mirror from rotting. Don't fertilize again in summer. When the temperature drops to autumn, you can resume the normal management of water and fertilizer.
