https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51289636646_0b17a2f081_o.jpg Purple dragon horn, scientific name: Orbea decaisneana (Caralluma hesperidum), a perennial herb of the genus Rhododendron, also known as "buffalo horn", "horticultural bull" Native to Morocco, it is now widely distributed in the dry areas of northeastern and northern Africa, the Mediterranean region, and Yemen Socotra. The plant is small and exquisite, with succulent stems covered with dragon horn-like protrusions, showing a grayish-green color on the surface, with purple-brown patterns on the surface, and spikes on the stems, which look hard and actually feel a little softer when you touch them. Do not stab! When flowering, the color is dark brown, like stars, and the flowers have a special fishy odor, which attracts flies to visit the flowers for pollination. ｜Sunshine｜ Likes a brightly lit environment, the brighter the light, the more distinct the markings on the plant will be. Lack of sunlight will easily cause steep growth, but too strong sunlight will cause sunburn, so direct sunlight should be avoided during midsummer. When planting outdoors, you can pay attention to changes in sunlight and adjust the position. If it is placed indoors, it is better to have a bright window. ｜Watering｜ Follow the principle of dry and thoroughly watered, not too frequent, every time you water, check whether the soil is dry, especially when it is growing, water needs to be thoroughly watered, otherwise it will have no effect. Let the medium soak through each watering, then wait until the topsoil is dry before watering again. The watering density depends on different subjects and different seasons. For example, the frequency of watering should be reduced during hibernation. It is recommended to choose the evening watering time. Watering in the middle of the hot noon may cause the root of the pot to rot. During semi-dormancy in summer and low temperature in winter, the potting soil should be kept slightly dry, but not too dry, otherwise the stems will easily shrink and wither. ｜Soil｜ Succulents are most afraid of wet roots, and the planting material should be a hydrophobic medium, mixing sand, peat soil and perlite in a ratio of 3:2:1. Loose plant material is conducive to root growth, and at the same time helps to evaporate water and prevent root rot. The bottom of the planting pot should also be perforated to allow the roots to circulate and dry. (Available for sale: Special soil for succulents can be referred to) ｜Ventilation｜ Poor ventilation is easy to cause pests and diseases. It is recommended to place in a well-ventilated location and keep the distance between plants. If you put it in the open air, you should pay attention to whether there is water accumulation in the rain. ｜Temperature｜ The suitable temperature for the growth of Zilongjiao is 18~25℃. It is neither cold-resistant nor afraid of high temperature. When the temperature is lower than 12℃, the growth will become slow until it dies. At this time, it must be moved indoors for maintenance; high temperature in summer If it exceeds 35°C, it will be easy to die in battle, so we need to give it proper shade so that the purple dragon horn can grow healthily and bloom brilliantly. Don't look at Zilongjiao's tougher appearance, but in fact, it needs to be carefully protected. ｜Reproduction｜ The propagation of Zilongjiao is generally propagated by cuttings. You can cut a stem branch, wait for the wound to dry, then insert it on a moist sand bed, wait for it to take root, and then transplant it in a pot. 📝Small key points for marking: like dryness, ventilation, shade in summer, need to be shaded, dry thoroughly, water about once a week 📏📏📏📏📏📏📏📏📏 Square basin size length 8x width 8x height 6.8cm 📏📏📏📏📏📏📏📏📏 Cement hand-made texture, unique Morandi blue gradient two-color design, hand-made This type of plant has been planted for you, and will be packaged and shipped properly as much as possible, and will be affixed with fragile stickers.
