The home cultivation methods of Buddha bead flowers mainly include selecting suitable soil, controlling temperature, watering reasonably, ensuring light, regular pruning, and pest control. The following are detailed breeding methods: 1. Choose suitable soil
Soil requirements: Buddha bead flowers prefer loose, breathable, and well drained soil. You can choose specialized succulent plant soil or prepare your own soil. When preparing it yourself, you can mix garden soil, sandy soil, and humus soil in a certain proportion to ensure soil permeability and drainage, while providing certain nutrients.
Soil replacement: In order to maintain the nutrition and permeability of the soil, it is recommended to replace the soil for the Buddha's pearl flower once a year, or replace it in a timely manner when the plant grows slowly or encounters other problems. 2、 Control temperature
Suitable temperature: The suitable growth temperature for Buddha bead flowers is 20-28 ℃, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. During high temperatures in summer, Buddha bead flowers should be placed indoors in a well ventilated area to avoid direct sunlight; In winter, it should be placed in a warm place to avoid being affected by the cold. 3、 Reasonable watering
Watering principle: Buddha bead flowers belong to succulent plants and have a certain water storage capacity. Therefore, when watering, the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet" should be followed, that is, wait for the soil surface to dry before watering to avoid root rot caused by excessive moisture in the pot.
Watering frequency: In spring and autumn, watering can be done once a week; In summer, due to high temperatures and rapid evaporation, watering frequency can be increased appropriately, but attention should also be paid to avoiding water accumulation; In winter, due to low temperatures and slow plant growth, watering frequency should be reduced to keep the soil slightly dry. 4、 Ensure adequate lighting
Light requirements: Buddha bead flowers need sufficient light to grow, but should avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent the leaves from getting sunburned. In spring and autumn, Buddha bead flowers can be placed on sunny windowsills or balconies; In summer, shading measures such as using sunshade nets should be taken; Although the demand for light is not high in winter, it is still necessary to ensure 2-3 hours of sunlight exposure every day. 5、 Regular pruning
Pruning purpose: In order to maintain the shape and health of Buddha bead flowers, regular pruning is necessary. Pruning can not only promote the germination of new branches, but also prevent plants from lodging due to excessively long branches.
Pruning method: When pruning, you can start from the edge of the flowerpot, cut off long and weak branches, and be careful not to cut healthy leaves and stems. After pruning, it is necessary to promptly clean up fallen branches and leaves to avoid the growth of bacteria. 6、 Disease and pest control
Prevention and control principle: Buddha bead flowers are more susceptible to pests and diseases such as aphids and spider mites. Once pests and diseases are discovered, timely measures should be taken for treatment to avoid worsening of the condition.
Prevention and control methods: Soap water or specialized insecticides can be used for spraying and control. When using insecticides, it is important to follow the instructions in the manual to avoid unnecessary damage to plants. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness and hygiene around the plants to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
The home cultivation method of Buddha bead flowers needs to comprehensively consider multiple aspects such as soil, temperature, watering, light, pruning, and pest control. Only by mastering the correct breeding methods and putting them into practice can Buddha bead flowers grow strong and bloom beautifully in a home environment.
