Potted succulent plant purple rice grain

Purple rice originated in Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil and other places in South America, and is a new flower variety. It likes warm and sunny environment, and does not grow well in dark and humid places. Extremely barren, the general soil can adapt, especially suitable for sandy soil with good drainage. It has strong growth and extensive management; Whether it is self-propagation or cutting propagation, it is quite outstanding and can achieve ornamental effect in a short time. It is an excellent landscape flower variety. The rice grains above the purple rice grains are fragile and will fall off if they are shaken slightly. Don't throw away the fallen rice, it will take root easily.

Two years ago, I shared some branches of purple rice from a flower friend. After planting, I didn't give them much care, but every time I see them, I always feel that these fleshy little guys have been pulling out branches and growing leaves happily, always dressing themselves up seriously. In summer, they will produce pink flowers, similar to ordinary single sunflower.

The heart will begin to act and make a trilogy of modeling.

Step 1: Prepare a small round basin, fill it with planting soil and arrange it in a hemispherical shape. These purple grains are small and numerous, and this hemispherical soil accumulation method should be most suitable for their dense social characteristics. It took a lot of effort to decorate, and the mound was as round and full as possible, which complemented the small and lovely style of purple rice.

Step 2: Patiently put purple grains of rice in the basin. This link should pay attention to the composition, according to the radian of the basin soil, cut layer by layer from bottom to top. Don't be hasty in this step. Arrange the small purple rice grains neatly, leaving a certain gap between them, so as to help them grow sturdily in the future. Don't use too much force when operating, just put the purple rice grain on the soil surface and gently press it.

Step 3: Place the flowerpot in a semi-shady environment, observe the growth of purple millet at any time, and replant the little guy who accidentally falls back into the flowerpot at any time. Pay attention to the humidity of the basin soil and spray water in time to ensure the soil is moist, which is convenient for purple rice to take root. About a week later, the little purple rice took root smoothly, and no naughty children fell to the ground, and the new leaves spread out, green and delicate. At this time, the flowerpot can be transplanted to a sunny place.

At the end of summer, Purple Milla seems to be tired of the dull life in a small pot. There are many purple grains of rice on the branches, purple on the top and green on the bottom. If you touch it lightly, it will fall off and take root when you land. Like an urgent adventure, they are ready to start looking for a new home. I'm puzzled by Zimi's decision. The plants in my house are flooded, and there is really no place to grow these little purple rice grains, but these cute little guys are really lovable. It's a pity to throw them away. So, I found a semi-circular flowerpot and planted some, and there were quite a few left. After several thoughts, I had a brainwave: why not jump out of the traditional potted mode and try a more three-dimensional combination modeling.

With the decrease of temperature, the branches of purple rice grains began to turn from green to red, and the ideal purple hills finally appeared. Because the flowerpot was only placed on the balcony in half sunshine, and it rained twice that winter, there was no sun at all. It is concluded that the main factor that determines the discoloration of purple rice grains is low temperature. After a period of time, I found that Xiaomi Mi was satisfied with her new home and had no special requirements for maintenance. They usually water it once when they think about it, and it won't be long in vain if they water it too much. They have remained this lovely appearance all winter (they should be dormant). It didn't turn green until the end of 20 12 spring, and then began to branch, spread leaves, bloom and start a new cycle.
