How often should Yushu be watered (explain the correct maintenance method of Yushu in detail)

Yushu is a classic family gardening potted plant, and many people keep a pot at home. However, because many people don't understand the habits of Yushu, it not only fails to keep Yushu in full bloom, but also easily dies. Today, I will teach you five habits in all aspects of Yushu, which is the focus of maintaining Yushu.

First, Yushu must bask in the sun.

Many flower lovers keep Yushu indoors, which is absolutely wrong. Yushu is a succulent plant, which is naturally fond of sunshine and afraid of long-term dark environment. If it is placed on the sunny side for a long time, it will not die in the short term, but it will cause the phenomenon that it cannot bloom and grow slowly. Yushu in principle, it is better to have no less than 6 hours of light every day.

Second, we should learn to prune Yushu.

Many people have raised Yushu for many years, but they never prune it, which will have serious consequences, that is, the branches of Yushu are easy to grow too long, the crown is not full, and the flowers are not easy to bloom. Because plants have apical advantages, nutrients are supplied to apical branches. Pruning will break the top advantage, transfer nutrients to other branches, and make Yushu grow fuller and bloom more luxuriantly.

Third, raising Yushu requires changing pots.

The growth rate of Yushu is actually very fast. It can be said that it is the same every year, and great changes are taking place every year. At the same time, its roots grow rapidly in the flowerpot. Many flower friends have not changed pots for several years, and the root system has no room for development, which will lead to the slow growth of Yushu. Under normal circumstances, we can change the pots for Yushu every 1 year or so, so the longer the better.

Fourth, the skills of watering Yushu.

Many novices raise Yushu and a dead basin because they don't know how to control the water quantity. If you touch the leaves of Yushu, you will find that its leaves are fleshy and its water storage capacity is very large. This kind of plants are afraid of water and drought, and it is easy to accumulate water and rot roots if they are watered too much for a long time. The correct watering technique is that you must wait for the soil to dry before watering, and then water it when it is dry.

Fifth, to raise Yushu, we must learn to fertilize.

Many people never fertilize Yushu, which is definitely wrong. Fertilize Yushu well. Long-term lack of fertilizer will not only make Yushu stunted, but also increase the risk of infection with pests and diseases. We can choose compound fertilizer, water-soluble fertilizer and organic fertilizer. And apply fertilizer once every 10~ 15 days, and apply thin fertilizer frequently.
