What is the origin of the sunset peony brocade?
Sunset peony brocade has been on the market for several years, but no one knows its origin, and it can only be judged according to its plant type and leaf shape that it is a kind of "cabbage" succulent brocade variety. The name of the sunset peony brocade is very appropriate - because there are large yellow brocade spots on both sides of its leaves, and the edge of the leaves is red, so it is like the sunset in the west with a touch of sunset afterglow, which is particularly meaningful.

The former sunset peony brocade was also expensive - when it was first listed, it cost hundreds of yuan for a single head. With the passage of time and the efforts of countless greenhouse owners (constantly cutting heads and cuttings to propagate), now the price of a single head of sunset peony brocade has dropped to more than 10 yuan. If you like brocade and succulents, or have been tempted by sunset peony brocade before, then now is the right time to start, after all, the temperature and price are very suitable.

What do novices need to pay attention to when maintaining the sunset peony brocade?
Speaking of succulents with brocade leaves, everyone's first reaction must be that they are good looking but not easy to raise. However, Sunset Peony Nishiki is an exception, as a succulent variation of the "cabbage system", it can be regarded as one of the best varieties of succulents with brocade. Therefore, unless your maintenance environment is particularly poor, for example, the average daily light duration is less than 5 hours, or the temperature is often above 38 °C in summer, it is absolutely no problem to raise sunset peony brocade.

Of course, the sunset peony brocade is easy to raise, and novice friends should pay attention to the following points when raising it:
The first is to choose flower pots reasonably. The sunset peony brocade we start with is usually not too big (the old pile is expensive and not cost-effective), and in this case we need to choose a little larger than its leaf spread to raise it, so that it is easy to maintain and grow quickly. However, after the leaves of the sunset peony brocade exceed the mouth of the pot, we must change it to a larger pot in time, otherwise it will affect its normal growth.

The second is the rational allocation of potting soil. Sunset peony brocade as a succulent with thin leaves and brocade, is not suitable for high-particle control, so the proportion of potting soil particles should not exceed 7 percent when southern meat friends raise it, and the proportion of potting soil particles when northern meat friends raise it should not exceed 6 percent. Also remember not to choose too large particles (3-5 mm is most suitable) and a combination of hard and soft, i.e. two-thirds hard particles and one-third soft ones. That's because soft particles such as light stone, red jade clay and diatomaceous earth have both air permeability and water retention, which can help the sunset peony brocade grow better.

The third is to provide proper shade according to the light intensity and temperature. Sunset peony brocade leaves with brocade succulent need light but are not resistant to strong light and high temperature exposure, so in the case of strong ultraviolet rays and high temperature, we must choose to shade it, otherwise the leaves of sunset peony brocade will either appear "scorched" phenomenon, or will be seriously sunburned.

Fourth, try to keep its foliage dry during the rainy season. Sunset peony brocade is mutated from the "cabbage" succulent, and this kind of succulent has a problem, that is, it is easy to be infected with powdery mildew in the weather with high air humidity, so try not to let it rain when the rainy season comes every year, and do not spray water on its leaves, otherwise the sunset peony brocade will be safe and sound this year.
