As a star species in the succulent plant family, the green unicorn has special requirements for watering management due to its unique bronze skin and desert plant characteristics. The correct watering method can not only avoid the risk of root rot, but also activate the strong vitality of the plant. This article will explain in detail the conservation secrets of this desert spirit from three dimensions: watering amount, time control, and water quality. Principles for controlling watering quantity of green green unicorn The basic principles of green green unicorn are originally born in arid environments, and their fleshy stems have strong water storage capacity. Watering must strictly follow the rule of "dry and thoroughly watering". The soil moisture must be tested before each watering: Insert the bamboo stick into 2/3 of the pot soil, stay for 10 minutes, pull it out and no moisture adheres to it, and then replenish water can be carried out. Soil moisture judgment method It is recommended to water every 20-30 days in spring and autumn. The high temperature period in summer can be shortened to 15 days, and the dormancy period in winter can be extended to 45 days. When planting in red pottery pots, you can touch the wall of the pot to judge: when the pot body is completely dry and the weight becomes significantly lighter, it is the best time to water. Four seasons watering time control skills Flexible watering strategies for spring and autumn can be operated on any sunny morning from March to May and September to November, with the focus on maintaining environmental ventilation. In the rainy season, special attention should be paid to when the air humidity exceeds 70%, and the watering interval should be actively extended to avoid long-term moisture of the soil. For extreme temperatures in summer and winter, choose the period between 5-7 a.m. or 18-20 p.m. in summer to avoid the high noon temperatures. Operation is strictly between 10 and 14 o'clock in winter, and the water temperature needs to be consistent with room temperature. Tap water can be used to stand for 24 hours or rainwater can be collected. Water quality selection and operation details Key points for water temperature control It is best to use constant temperature water at 20-25 ° C, which can be accurately controlled by a thermometer. In cold areas in winter, water can be placed next to the heater for preheating, and in summer, refrigerated water can be avoided for direct irrigation. The secret to preventing rotten roots is to use a pointed spout to slowly inject water along the wall of the basin, which is completed in three times: wetting the surface soil for the first time, infiltrating it twice at an interval of 5 minutes, and finally replenishing the total water volume. Carbendazim solution is applied to root irrigation every year in conjunction with spring and autumn to effectively prevent fungal infections.
