Tutong is a member of the cactus family. Its plant shape is very delicate and small. It turns purple-red when exposed to light, which is very beautiful. There are generally many types of it, and the plant shapes of each variety are also different. I usually keep a pot at home as an ornamental. In addition to purifying the air, it can also effectively play a decorative role. So how should I keep this kind of plant? Let’s learn together.

1. Tutong’s temperature requirements

1. Temperature requirements of Tutong

The most suitable temperature for its growth is generally between 20 and 30 degrees. The highest temperature cannot exceed 35 degrees, and the breeding temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees. In order to survive the winter safely, you should always pay attention to temperature control, and the drier the pot soil, the more cold-tolerant it is. The temperature in winter should be relatively stable and low. If the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, freezing damage will easily occur. In spring, the temperature will reach above 15 degrees, and growth will begin at this time. In summer, when the temperature reaches above 35 degrees, it will quickly enter a dormant state, and can only start growing again in autumn.

2. Native children’s lighting requirements

Tutong prefers sunlight. Under strong sunlight, it will turn purple and the flowers will be very bright. Therefore, be sure to give it sufficient light, especially in winter when it needs more sunlight. In summer, it needs to be properly shaded to avoid direct sunlight.

3. Native children should change their pots in time

The young plants of Tutong need to be repotted once a year. Growing plants do not need it, but after a period of time, the nutrients in the pot will begin to decrease, and the roots will be filled with pot soil, or due to frequent watering, the soil will become very hard, which is not conducive to growth. It drains and breathes well and is prone to root rot. Therefore, it is generally necessary to change the basin every 2 to 3 years. This will allow it to absorb nutrients better.

4. Water quality of Tutong watering

The quality of watering water should not contain too much salt. Generally, rainwater and well water are acceptable. But the water temperature should not be too low. Generally, it is better to be close to the air temperature. If it is tap water, it needs to be placed in the tank for 1 to 2 days before use. If you have fish at home, you can use the water in the fish tank to water it, and the effect will be even better. Therefore, watering must be based on water quality.
