To raise Zimandao, you should give it sufficient light, the light should not be too dark, and the temperature of the breeding environment should not be higher than 35°C, otherwise it will stop growing. When watering it, water it along the edge of the flower pot, avoid getting wet by rain, and the substrate must be sufficiently permeable. When it grows for 1-2 years, it needs to be repotted, which can be done in early spring.

1. Lighting

1. Light

Sufficient sunlight, a warm and ventilated environment is most suitable for its growth. Sufficient light will promote its leaves to grow closer together. Insufficient light will cause the distance between the leaves of the plant to become looser and looser, and its color will become lighter and lighter. Full sunlight is possible with shading and ventilation.

2. Temperature

Its preference for coolness and fear of heat will cause it to enter a dormant state and stagnate growth when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees in summer. So it should be placed in a cool place at this time.

3. Watering

Phase Compared with other succulents, the most worry-free thing about Zimandao is that it does not require frequent watering. Because it is basically dormant throughout the summer, you can water it about two to four times a month at this time.

Every time you only need to water the edge of the flowerpot, the watering time should be between 7pm and 9pm, because the sun has gone down at this time, so it is not necessary to water the flower pot. Will cause damage to its roots. Uneven watering can also cause rot, so water thoroughly every time and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. Be sure to avoid being exposed to rain for a long time to prevent damage to its roots.

IV. Substrate

For the substrate It does not have too many requirements and does not require the substrate to be very fertile. Therefore, the substrate is generally mixed with coarse sand and peat soil, as long as it can maintain water permeability. You can also mix peat with cinders and a small amount of perlite, and mix them in a certain proportion. If you want the substrate to be loose and less prone to water accumulation, you can spread a layer of river sand on the surface.

5. Repotting

In order to allow it to develop better, it must be transplanted every once in a while. As the plant continues to grow, the original flower pot is no longer suitable for the growth of its root system. So the pot needs to be changed every one to two years. The most appropriate time to repot the plant is before the first watering in early spring, which happens to be its growing season.
