XGraptoveria Douglas Huth cultivation techniques

Sunlight

XGraptoveria Douglas Huth needs to receive enough sunlight to make the leaves colorful, the plant shape more compact and beautiful, and the leaves thicken. If the sunshine is too little, the color of the leaves is shallow, the arrangement of the leaves is loose, the spacing between the leaves is longer, and the leaves become thinner. In addition to the summer, pay attention to appropriate shading.

Double basin

XGraptoveria Douglas Huth is a small and medium-sized plant. With the growth state, the basin should be changed every 1 to 2 years. The diameter of the basin can be 1 to 2 inches larger than the diameter of the plant, which can promote the growth of the plant.

watering

Generally wait until the soil is dry before watering. Although the leaves are not easy to dip water out of the white powder, if the heart of the leaves water retention too long, it is easy to cause decay.

Soil

By mid-September, when the temperature has cooled down, watering can resume. XGraptoveria Douglas Huth, who is adapted to the sun room, can still grow normally in summer, but dormancy is not obvious.

In the winter

In winter, if the temperature can be maintained above 0 degrees, water is available, below 0 degrees to cut off water, otherwise it is easy to frostbite. Although it is cold in winter, we only give a little water at the appropriate time in the root of xGraptoveria Douglas Huth, do not spray or give water. As temperatures rise in the spring, the water can slowly return to normal.
