I. Reasons Why Fenestraria rhopalophylla Cracks 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 long periods.

3. Temperature:

Temperature being too high or too high both have a certain effect on Fenestraria rhopalophylla.

II. Solutions

1. Suitable Pot and Soil

Because Fenestraria rhopalophylla is grown in pots, the quality of the pot and soil is also an influencing factor. Fenestraria rhopalophylla is relatively difficult to grow among succulents. It likes an environment with sufficient sunlight and a bit drier conditions. It can resist high temperatures, but it fears extremely humid pots and soil with poor permeability the most. 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 as much as possible, and then place it in a ventilated and breathable environment to grow.

2. Reasonable Light

The editor said above that although Fenestraria rhopalophylla likes light, it must never be placed in the sun for direct exposure, otherwise it will scorch 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 look bad and it will grow very thin and small. If an ornamental plant loses its beautiful appearance, it loses its value. So the temperature is best kept between 15-30; if higher or lower, it will stop growing.

3. Scientific and Rational Watering

Actually, the most difficult part of growing Fenestraria rhopalophylla is still watering. We generally should not water from the top down; we must water from the bottom and let it soak into the soil by itself, with the water level at two-thirds of the soil. If you find the leaves wilted, it is time to water. If it rains, remember to bring it back indoors. Fenestraria rhopalophylla cannot be rained on. Also control the environmental humidity 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 little less as appropriate. Finally, you can apply fertilizer appropriately each year, five or six times is enough, together with watering. Putting about ten grains of compound fertilizer is OK.

The above are the reasons why Fenestraria rhopalophylla cracks open and the solutions. Has this article been helpful to 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~
