However, many people often encounter problems such as slow growth and yellowing of leaves during the maintenance process. How can Yushu maintain its vigorous growth? Is hydroponics farming feasible? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the scientific maintenance methods of Yushu. Comprehensive strategy for Yushu soil culture and breeding: Choose pots and mix soil: For the basis for healthy root systems, choose a breathable pottery pot with a diameter of 16-28cm, and the bottom must be provided with drainage holes. It is recommended to use a mixed substrate of garden soil + leaf soil + river sand (2:2:1), and add 500g of decomposed sheep manure per cubic meter as the base fertilizer. Pruning skills: Take care of shape and health into account.

Black rotten branches should be cut off immediately and applied with carbendazim. Water and fertilizer management: The art of dry-wet cycle follows the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet". Water is watered once every 5-7 days in spring and autumn, spray in the morning and evening in summer to increase humidity, and a small amount of water is replenished 15 days in winter. During the growth period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers diluted 1000 times are applied every month. Key points for pot replacement: Ensure growth vitality Change the larger flower pot from March to April every year, and keep 1/3 of the soil during operation.

The water level inundates 1/3 of the root system, change the water every 3 days and add 2 drops of nutrient solution. Hydroponics maintenance: Details determine success or failure. Keep the water temperature at 18-25 ° C and avoid direct sunlight. Clean the inner wall of the container with a cotton swab every week and trim excessive aquatic roots every month. In winter, move indoors and stop adding nutrient solutions.
Whether it is soil culture or hydroponics, Yushu maintenance requires mastering the "three control principles": control water to prevent rotten roots, control fertilizer to avoid burning roots, and control light to preserve leaf color. It is recommended that novices start with soil culture and try hydroponics after they are familiar with growth habits. Through scientific maintenance, this "fleshy beauty" will surely become the most eye-catching green landscape in your home.
