Morphological characteristics

Morphological characteristics

The appearance of Jade Dew is very consistent with its name. It is as clear as jade and as cool as dew.

Yulu is a perennial succulent herbaceous plant. The plant grows solitary at first, and then gradually grows in groups.

The fleshy leaves are arranged in a compact rosette shape. The leaves are plump and plump, emerald green, and the upper part is transparent or translucent, called the "window". It has dark linear veins, which appear in the sunlight. Under relatively sufficient conditions, the veins are brown and there are small "whiskers" on the top of the leaves.

Loose racemes with small white flowers.

Key points of breeding

Watering

Yulu likes a cool semi-shade environment. Its main growth period is in spring and autumn. It is drought tolerant and not cold tolerant. Avoid high temperature, humidity and exposure to the scorching sun, avoid shade, and avoid water accumulation in the soil.

Therefore, in midsummer, you must water less to prevent water accumulation in the pot soil, which may cause root rot.

Jade dew cannot be exposed to rain, so if you are a gardener who grows it on the balcony, don’t forget this small pot of jade dew when it rains!

Light

Sufficient light should be provided during the growth period. If it is too shaded, the plant shape will be loose and not compact. The leaves are long and thin, and the transparency of the "window" is poor.

If the light is too strong, the leaves will grow poorly and turn light reddish-brown. Sometimes strong direct sunlight will burn the leaves, leaving ugly spots. Plants growing in semi-shade will have thick and plump leaves. High transparency.

In summary, it is to give bright light, but not exposure to the sun.

Humidity

Yulu likes an environment with a certain air humidity. When the air is dry, you can often spray water on the plants and the surrounding environment. , to increase air humidity.

During the growing season, you can also use a transparent colorless beverage bottle with the upper part cut off to cover the plant for maintenance, so that it can grow in a small environment with humid air. This can make the leaves full and the "window" There is also more transparency.

However, the cover must be removed during the high temperature season in summer to prevent the plants from rotting due to the sweltering heat.

What to do if you don’t want the scapes

If you don’t want pollination and reproduction, you can remove the scapes that appear during the growth period. Note that the scape should not be cut with scissors, but should be pulled out by shaking it from side to side with your hands. This can prevent the remaining pedicels from remaining between the leaves, which will adversely affect the growth of new leaves in the future.

Notes

The plump and fresh leaf petals of Gyokuro are the cutest thing about it. In order to prevent the leaf petals from drying up, you must pay attention to watering and lighting during the growth period.

When watering during the growth period, master the principle of "not dry, don't water, water thoroughly" to avoid water accumulation, let alone rain, especially long-term rain, all of which are to avoid root rot.

But it is not advisable to suffer from long-term drought, otherwise the leaves will become shriveled, dull in color and lack vitality. Lose the luster of "Jade Dew".

Yulu prefers a semi-shaded environment. Regarding light treatment, it cannot be exposed to the sun or fully shaded. Therefore, it is best to have a balcony corner where you can grow jade dew.
