Raise a golden branch jade leaf tree in winter, 3 things do not go wrong, otherwise it is easy to frostbite
Golden branch jade leaf tree is a fleshy stem and leaf plant, the hardiness is extremely poor, with the continuous decline in temperature, before entering the winter, it is also necessary to do a good job of maintenance and management in advance, so that the plant grows strong, enhance its hardiness, in order to make it safely overwinter. So how should the golden branches and jade leaves be maintained now? How to manage it after winter?
Trim before winter
Golden branches and jade leaves in the case of sufficient water and fertilizer, the plant growth rate is very fast, from spring to autumn, a large number of messy branches will grow, not only will consume a lot of nutrients, affecting the main branches of the thick and strong, but also make the plant lose shape, the branches become disorganized, very affect the ornamental effect.
During the autumn, as the temperature drops, the growth rate of the plant slows down, and it can be pruned and shaped before the winter, and the excess messy branches are cut off, leaving only the main modeling branches to reduce the excessive consumption of nutrients by the plant, while also keeping the plant more beautiful.
After winter, I am afraid of too much watering
Winter to raise golden branches and jade leaves, must do reasonable watering, this kind of fleshy stem and leaf plants, plants store a lot of water, and when the temperature is below 10 ° C, the plant has stopped growing, and no longer need too much water, if it is still excessive watering, so that the pot soil is in a moist state, it is easier to form frost damage, but also easy to cause stuffy roots.
The whole winter to maintain the golden branches and jade leaves, do not need to water too much, the plant at this time basically stop growing, let the potting soil remain dry, will not cause harm to it, but more conducive to its overwintering. If the indoor temperature is above 15 °C, the plant is still in a vigorous growth state, and watering can be appropriately increased. Keep the potting soil slightly moist.
Fear of fertilization at low temperatures
Before entering the winter, the golden branch jade leaf can be applied to it with some thin fertilizer water, or apply fermented organic fertilizer in the pot soil, such as sesame cake, sheep manure, etc., to supplement it with trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so that the branches of the plant grow more robust, thereby improving the cold resistance and preventing the plant from being frostbitten in winter.
When the temperature drops below 10 ° C, do not apply any fertilizer to it again, because at this time the plant has stopped growing, fertilizing it can not be absorbed and utilized normally, and the fertilizer is also easy to burn the root system in the soil, so that the whole plant wilts. As long as the nutrients are replenished before the winter, there is no need to fertilize the whole winter, until the weather warms up in the spring, and then replenish the nutrients.
Afraid of wintering in the open air
The stems and leaves of the golden branches and jade leaves are young, basically there is no hardiness, even if it is an old pile that has been raised for many years, it cannot be directly placed in the outdoor open air environment for wintering, otherwise the branches and leaves are easily frostbitten, making the leaves yellow and falling off, and the whole plant is seriously withered.
The golden branches and jade leaves maintained in the open air at home are generally moved to the house before the frost falls, and it is best to have sunlight every day, which can not only enhance its photosynthesis, improve the ability to resist cold, but also keep the plant low and compact, making it more ornamental.
Golden branches and jade leaves are very ornamental potted plants, in order to prevent the plants from being frostbitten in winter, they should be pruned in advance of the messy branches, and supplement the nutrients, after the winter, the potted plants will be moved to the indoor warm environment for maintenance, while allowing it to receive more light, the plant can safely overwinter, and grow more vigorously in the coming year.
