The Cross Star Brocade is a perennial succulent plant. Its plants are bushy and branched. Its stem is fleshy, but if it is raised for a long time, its stem will slowly become semi-lignified. The color of the leaves is gray-green or light green, with yellow or red brocade on both sides of the leaves, and green spots on the surface of the leaves. It usually blooms around May, and the flowers are beige in color. So how to raise it? Let’s take a look.

1.Lighting

1. Light

Cross Star Brocade prefers a sunny and cooler dry place, so we must give it enough sunlight. If there is not enough sunlight, it will be easily damaged. It will only grow taller, and the distance between the leaves is too long, which will make it look particularly ugly. The red color of the leaf edges will slowly fade, and the leaf stems will become special. It is tender, but if you give it enough sunlight, it will be different. At this time, its plant will be short and strong, and the arrangement of stem nodes will be very close. So it seems that the impact of light on it is still very large.

2. Soil

Generally succulent Plants prefer soil with better drainage and air permeability, so the cross star brocade is also like this, so we must pay attention when choosing the soil. We need to find some peat soil, mix it with a little perlite and cinder, and then add it to it. Spread some small stones on the surface of the soil. This will make the soil more breathable and prevent water accumulation.

3. Watering

General When the temperature is relatively suitable, we can water it normally, but if the temperature is high in summer, we have to control the amount of watering. Watering too much will not work, and water accumulation will easily occur. , which will cause its roots to rot. In winter, the water can be completely cut off, especially when the temperature is below 5 degrees, it can be cut off slowly.

4. Proper pruning

In the process of its growth, it will be easier to grow a lot of messy branches. At this time, we need to perform appropriate pruning and cut off the messy branches, so that we can maintain the beautiful appearance of the plant. The shape makes it look more beautiful, so it is also good to trim it appropriately.
