What are the cultivation methods and precautions for the jade plant
The jade plant is a potted plant with a rather unusual leaf shape, but many details must be paid attention to when planting it, which causes many flower growers to often run into problems during cultivation. So what should be paid attention to when planting the jade plant? Let's learn about it together with the editor below, especially some precautions that everyone should take seriously when planting.
1. Seed treatment
Due to the particular growth characteristics of the jade plant, many growers choose to propagate it by cuttings, so how should its seeds be cultivated? Before breeding, first soak the jade plant seeds in warm water for 3-5 hours, so that the dried seeds are awakened by moisture. The soil for breeding is best placed in a temperature-controlled box, so that the temperature can be effectively controlled. The soil must be completely crushed, with no clumps or debris present. Place the seeds about 3 cm into the soil, then pour a small amount of water and nutrient solution, or you can also mix a certain amount of organic fertilizer into the soil in advance. Control the temperature at around 25°.
2. Seedling management
In order to better cultivate the jade plant, it is recommended that flower growers build a greenhouse and use potted cultivation. The selected pots should be 30-40 cm in diameter and about 15-20 cm in height. Wait until the seedlings grow to about 5 cm after sowing, then they can be transplanted. After transplanting, the spacing between each pot should be about 20 cm. When transplanting the seedlings, mix a small amount of water and nutrients such as bone meal and place them together in the soil. It is best to add a certain amount of biological fertilizer, so that the fertilizer and water needed in the early stage of the seedlings are basically guaranteed. In the early stage, watering should be controlled to once every 2-3 days, in small amounts, and spray watering can also be used.
3. Later-stage management
If no wilting occurs 1-2 weeks after transplanting the seedlings, it means the transplanting was successful. At this time, the jade plant is very fragile, so flower growers need to spend more effort on management. Patrol the greenhouse at least 2 times a day, so that sudden situations can be handled in time. During this period, fertilizing should be controlled to once every 1-2 weeks, and after each fertilization, water once. The type of fertilizer can be nutrient solution or organic chemical fertilizer, gradually increasing from about 10 grams, with a maximum of no more than 20 grams. Each time you fertilize, place the fertilizer in the soil to facilitate absorption by the jade plant.
4. Precautions
The first thing to pay attention to is temperature. The jade plant is extremely intolerant of cold, so the greenhouse temperature should be controlled above 10°. In addition to the soil in the flower pot needing to be slightly moist, the other environmental conditions are best kept relatively dry. Excessive humidity will cause the jade plant to become deformed. Disease is the area that needs the most attention. Since potted cultivation is used, once disease appears, immediately remove and isolate it to avoid infection.
The above is some relevant information about jade plant cultivation. At present, the jade plant is still very popular in cities, and the price also offers considerable profit. The vast number of flower growers can cultivate jade plants well for a round. For more relevant information, you can follow our website.
