What are the cultivation methods for Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong'?

Today I'd like to introduce a rare succulent variety called Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong'. Isn't that a novel name? Some flower lovers may never have even heard of it. Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong' looks extremely cute, and you're sure to be charmed by its appearance. Its leaves are plump and thick, one after another, and there is a layer of white powder on the outer surface. However, it is very afraid of heat. Now let me, Shuaishuai, tell you about the cultivation methods for Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong'!

1. Temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong' is 15°C to 25°C. In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, besides placing it in a shady spot, you can also use an electric fan to cool it down. The temperature must not exceed 35°C; if it does, the plant will stop growing. In winter, it should be kept between 15°C and -2°C. If growing it outdoors, Shuaishuai does not recommend placing it outdoors, because the winter temperature is too low and it will not be able to withstand it.

2. Water

If the temperature rises to 35°C in summer, you can increase watering, preferably between 19:00 and 21:00. In winter, when the temperature drops below 5°C, you can stop watering. At other times, just keep the potting soil slightly moist. Do not let water accumulate at the bottom of the pot, and even more importantly, do not let the potting soil become too wet.

3. Nutrients

Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong' does not have a high demand for nutrients. Just apply fertilizer once a month during its growing season.

4. Ventilation

A well-ventilated environment can not only prevent the breeding of some diseases, but also increase the indoor oxygen concentration and enhance the plant's respiration, especially in the hot and stuffy summer.

5. Light

The growing season of Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong' is from September to June of the following year. During this period, if there is too little light, the plant will become leggy, making it look untidy and reducing its ornamental value, so it is essential to ensure sufficient light duration.

The above are the cultivation methods for Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong'. After reading this, do you really like this plant? Have you been charmed by its appearance? Since this succulent variety came into being, it has been deeply loved by female growers. Growing it at home is very eye-catching. If you love beauty, hurry up and grow a pot too!
