The reason why many florists buy succulents may be because of their nice names. There are many varieties of succulents with nice names, such as Chihuahua, Skittles, Dance of Music, and Orange Monroe. They all have nice names and good looks. The kind with high value and easy maintenance. I often buy succulents based on their names. For example, I bought Ajita Rose because I liked the name. After maintaining it for a period of time, I found that it is very easy to maintain and can be displayed on the balcony. Red edge.
What impressed me most about Ajita rose is that it perfectly blends the two colors of red and green without any sense of inconsistency. Their leaves are dark green most of the time. The edge will show a circle of deep red, and there will also be an obvious red line on the back of the leaf. There will also be some red spots randomly distributed on the leaf, which is very beautiful. As a succulent species of the genus Echeveria in the Sedum family, flower lovers with some experience in growing flowers can grow it well.
First of all, Ajita rose is also a variety that can be controlled into small old piles and grown in groups. If you like that kind of group appearance, then add appropriate amounts of water to the soil when mixing the soil. The nutrient soil content is generally 60% of the nutrient soil combined with 40% of the particles, which can not only ensure looseness and breathability, but also provide sufficient nutrient supply to the plants, making it easy for side buds to grow in groups. If the balcony space is limited and you like small old piles with precise control, you can directly use high-grain soil when mixing the soil. You only need to spread a layer of nutrient soil near the roots. It will not affect their root growth. Later control It is also easier to grow. The specific soil to match depends on personal preference. If you don’t want to mix the soil yourself, there are soils in various proportions online, and you can just buy them directly.
Secondly, if you want to cultivate succulents with good-looking colors, you must naturally lack sunlight. Some species have very high requirements for illumination, and you may have to chase the light to color, but for A. For Gita roses, the illumination requirements are above average. They only need about 4 hours of sunlight. At the same time, you must pay attention to watering. Red edges are still very easy to occur. In summer, you need to cover the temperature. During the ten days of maximum sunlight, otherwise there will often be awkward sun spots on the leaves. For other seasons, just find a place with the best sunlight and place it.
Then, let’s talk about watering. When watering Agita roses, the general rule is to keep them dry rather than wet. If there is a lot of water, you will find that the width of the leaves becomes smaller and the leaves become smaller. The color will also turn blue, not green enough, and even more so for the fascinating red edge. Generally speaking, when it first enters the pot, in order to allow Ajita to quickly adapt to the pot and grow roots, it is necessary to properly maintain a certain degree of moisture in the soil until Ajita shows signs of significant growth. It is necessary to slowly increase the watering interval until the leaves at the bottom become soft before watering and drainage is enough. In autumn, winter and summer, the watering method should also be appropriately changed according to changes in ambient temperature and temperature. If the ambient temperature is less than 5 degrees, stopping water can improve the level of cold protection. When it is higher than 30 degrees and the climate is dry, you can spray some water nearby to increase the humidity. . During the growth season of autumn and spring, if there is sunlight and good ventilation, you can add more water as appropriate, otherwise you have to control the amount of watering.
Finally, it is best to use branch cuttings for breeding Ajita. The survival rate of leaf cuttings is not very high. If there are prerequisites for raising it in the open, it should be moved out and raised in the open appropriately. This is especially true in this case. Come on, the perfect situation will shock you. It is said that Ajita roses have been growing in deserts in the past, so they are very resistant to drought. There is no need to deliberately fertilize during the maintenance process. It can also be carried out 2 to 3 times in early spring to satisfy the need for a year. According to the requirements, it is best to carry out repotting after 4 years. As for the prevention of pests and diseases, if no pests or diseases are found, then add some chemicals step by step during spring and autumn watering to carry out root irrigation and prevent them.
