Golden branches and jade leaves are very popular bonsai plants, this guy is drought-tolerant and grows fast, the only drawback is that it is afraid of cold, the winter and spring alternate period is particularly difficult to survive, the leaves are yellow, and they have been falling non-stop, making people worry about whether they can survive!
Then we should pay attention to when raising this plant indoors, put the pot in the best place for light, try to sunbathe as much as possible, do not water frequently, there is a cold wind at night, pay attention to closing the doors and windows, and then open the ventilation during the day when the sun is good.
In addition, when you raise golden branches and jade leaves, will you find that the leaves are long, there are no leaves on the branches, they don't look good, and they have no form before buying? In fact, the most important point of raising golden branches and jade leaves is - pruning!
And pruning, need to meet four points: that is, the pot is large, the soil fertilizer, the water is moderate, the light is good, these four points are indispensable.
1, the pot is large, is conducive to its root development, but it does not mean that the larger the better, after all, too big is not conducive to watering, the crown width of the plant is just the same as the size of the diameter of the pot, you can.
2, soil fertilizer, the fertilizer here does not mean that the soil must be fertile, but the fertilizer must keep up, because the golden branches and jade leaves are more diligent in pruning, so the fertilizer it needs is also relatively fast, it is recommended that you use cooked dung pigeon manure and peanut cake water.
Note: After the fermentation, pigeon manure is to make it play a bright leaf effect, and the peanut cake is used as a strong root fertilizer, and it is better to use these two fertilizers than other fertilizers. However, fertilize again when the temperature rises in the spring and remain above 15 degrees.
3, the water is moderate, the golden branches and jade leaves are very drought-tolerant, watering can not be too much, more will rot the roots, but also do not control the water too strongly, too little water will also inhibit its growth, this moderate to be based on your home environment and the dry and wet situation of the soil to determine, fingers inserted into the pot soil, feel that there is no moisture when you need to water.
Of course, if you don't want the golden branches and jade leaves to continue to grow, just control the shape, just like the succulent control, then it is better to water less, dry and then water.
4, the light is good, the flowers in the north to raise golden branches and jade leaves, spring and autumn and winter, are put under the sun exposure, long-term outside the sun, the leaves will be very hard, good texture, there will be no trouble; and in the summer high temperature weather, I will put it in the shade to see the light, so that both can increase the brightness of the leaf surface, but also will not make the leaves sunburned.
After meeting these four points, it is pruning, and my pruning method is to keep only two or three leaves between the upper and lower leaves, basically pruning once every 1 to 2 weeks.
When pruning, we must pay attention to it, because the two leaves are growing against each other, so when cutting, we must leave two leaves symmetrical, so that the effect of pruning has also been achieved, and the main head can be divided into two small heads, the so-called golden branches and jade leaves are rare and expensive, and raising good golden branches and jade leaves will make you get unexpected surprises.
