1. Reasons why Fenestraria rhopalophylla splits open

1. Watering:

If watered too much, it will burst open, but if watered too little, it will cause dry cracking.

2. Light:

It cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time.

3. Temperature:

Whether the temperature is on the high side or the high side, both have a certain effect on Fenestraria rhopalophylla.

2. Solutions

1. Suitable potting soil

Because Fenestraria rhopalophylla is grown in pots, the quality of the potting soil is also an influencing factor. Fenestraria rhopalophylla is among the more difficult succulents to grow. It likes an environment with plenty of sunlight and needs to be a bit dry. It can resist high temperatures, but it fears especially humid conditions and pots and soil with poor permeability. So our soil should be made by mixing peat, vermiculite, and perlite. This kind of soil has very good permeability.

As for the pot, it is best to choose a smaller one if possible, and then place it to grow in a ventilated and breathable environment.

2. Reasonable light

The editor said above that although Fenestraria rhopalophylla likes light, it must never be placed in the sun for exposure, otherwise it will burn the surface. About five hours of appropriate light each day is enough; except in summer, 3/4 hours a day is enough. If there is not enough light, its color will not look good, and it will grow very thin and small. Once an ornamental plant loses its beautiful appearance, it loses its value. So as for temperature, it is best to keep it between 15-30. If it is higher or lower, it will stop growing.

3. Scientific and rational watering

Actually, the hardest part of growing Fenestraria rhopalophylla is still watering. We generally should not water from the top down; we must water from the bottom and wait for it to soak into the soil by itself, with the water level at two-thirds of the soil. If you find the leaves wilting, it is time to water. If it rains, remember to bring it back indoors. Fenestraria rhopalophylla cannot be rained on. Also control the humidity of the environment well. On rainy days, the humidity is relatively high, so there is no need to water. If the indoor heating is on, then you can water a small amount appropriately. Finally, you can apply fertilizer appropriately each year, five or six times is enough, together with watering. Put about ten compound fertilizer granules and it is OK.

The above are the reasons why Fenestraria rhopalophylla splits open and the solutions. Did this article help you? I hope your Fenestraria rhopalophylla can all grow healthily and robustly! If you want to learn more related knowledge, please pay more attention to this site~
