How to raise "cheeky plants"?

Just put it in a bright and ventilated place on the balcony. It is best to see light and ventilation, and it is best to give priority to topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote plant growth.

Thick skin breeding method

1, Soil: This thick-skinned plant has strong adaptability and extensive cultivation and management. When potted, 3 parts humus soil and 1 part sandy soil can be used as mixed substrates.

2, watering: in the thick skin growth period, pour a little more water to keep the basin soil moist, but no water. The temperature drops in autumn and winter, so water should be reduced. When flowering in winter, strictly control watering, but don't forget to water.

3, lighting: Because cheeky prefers plenty of sunshine, when there is sunshine, everyone needs to put cheeky on the balcony as much as possible for photosynthesis. But you can't be completely exposed to the sun, and direct sunlight will also cause the cheeky branches and leaves to be burned.

4. Fertilization: Fertilize 1 time every month during the thick-skinned growth period. When the stem and leaf grow too high, the plant shape should be depressed by coring to promote more branches. Update and change pots every spring to maintain a beautiful plant state.

5. Pests and diseases: thick skin mainly harms gray mold and powdery mildew, and 70% thiophanate-methyl wettable powder can be sprayed 1000 times. Insects do great harm to scale insects and aphids, and 40% dimethoate EC 1000 times is sprayed.

6. Pruning: In order to make the thick skin grow vigorously and healthily, it is best to keep the original shape when pruning, and only prune the old yellow leaves. Don't trim too much at once, it will damage the cheeky plants.

Matters needing attention in thick skin culture

1, coring: the new pot thick skin seedlings were cored in time to promote branching; For older plants, their stems are semi-lignified, off-footed, bent and not upright, and their ornamental value is reduced, so they should be cut short to sprout new branches.

2. Lighting: Shade the thick-skinned plants in summer, and have sufficient lighting in other seasons, otherwise the color of the leaf edge will disappear.

3. Change pots: When changing pots for cheeky bonsai, you need to leave some old soil and then add some fresh soil. When fertilizing, you don't need too much. During the growing season, water it about twice a week, not too much; But in the hot and humid environment, the number of watering needs too much. Just spray some water mist on the branches and leaves to keep the living environment moist.
