It looks like a tortoise shell. Actually, it's a fleshy tuber named tortoise turtle dragon. It's famous for its long tuber like tortoise shell. Three years ago, it was a hard to find variety. Now it's cheaper. You can take over a hundred pieces.
The tuber of tortoise beetle is similar to the ornamental of bonsai. It only needs to be half buried in the granular soil and not to be watered too much. The growing branches can climb vines and look like ivy.
If the tortoise beetle is a bit scary, then there is a gentle version of "mountain Tortoise". The tuber looks like a big potato with chapped skin. It is more popular than tortoise beetle. Why? Look at the effect of the seed and you'll see.
Huayou's "love fish 2015" mountain tortoise, which moved home last month, is placed under the flower shelf at the door. It looks like a stone.
After planting and watering, the mountain tortoise began to grow leaves recklessly. Every day it changed.
In less than half a month, the leaves of the mountain tortoise have already climbed all around the flower racks. The leaves are orderly and pretty.
In less than a month, the mountain tortoise is about to climb the whole flower rack. This growth speed is like the copperhead grass that can climb rattan.
The nearby windmill Molly is also a king climber. When the mountain tortoise came, it was a little ahead. Now it has been overtaken.
If a mountain tortoise is raised on the balcony, it can also go to the house to uncover tiles and climb into one in two or three months.
Compared with tortoise and Jialong, mountain tortoise grows faster and doesn't sleep in summer (tortoise and Jialong sleep in summer), but they are both not hardy to cold. They can be raised outside in the South and indoors in the north in winter.
In the south, the mountain tortoise, like a big stone, is placed at the gate of the town. It can climb all over the house every year.
For tortoise beetles that want to sleep in summer, when their branches and leaves begin to wither and turn yellow, they can cut off their branches and stop watering. In September, when the weather turns cold, they can start normal maintenance.
Tortoise beetle and mountain tortoise are tuberous plants. They are characterized by large tuberous roots. The larger the tuberous roots are raised, the higher the value is. Apart from the length of maintenance time, the maintenance environment and fertility are also important factors.
Tortoise, Jialong and mountain tortoise both like the semi shade environment with good ventilation. Generally, the balcony windowsill in the southeast, northeast and northwest is the most suitable. Do not over expose to the sun or over shade. It can make the rhizome grow more round and avoid deformity.
For plants with large tubers, their roots are generally afraid of waterlogging. It is better to plant the basin soil with more particles. The sand soil, cinder soil, and hematite soil are all good. Do not water them too frequently. When growing, you can spray water on the leaves more often to make them flourish.
To fertilize tortoise and tortoise, it is safer to use slow-release fertilizer, or fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen and potassium fertilizer, which can only be fertilized in the growing season, once every 1-2 months, not too much, and the diameter can be expanded by about 1-2cm every year.
Both tortoise and tortoise can bloom. After natural or artificial pollination, they will bear seeds. Seeds can be sown in spring and autumn. When they grow out, they are just like small potatoes. Tortoise and tortoise should be buried in the first three years before they can be exposed after their own lignification and cracking.
