Succulent Tia is also a popular general variety for a long time, because the color is red when out of the state, it looks like a burning flame from a distance, plus the green and oily background color, so it is also known as a green flame, out of the state of Tia in the flower market is very popular, I want to be attracted by their appearance, started several pots, so far, has been eliminated by me, if not for the flower friends suddenly asked about this variety, I am about to forget. Flower friends sent me a screenshot of the live broadcast room, the red tongtong Tia small old pile, the price is only the price of a popsicle, ask me if this variety is good to raise, can you start?
Excluding seasonal factors, if the simple is to feel that the price is appropriate, then it is completely possible to start, but if you think that the color of Tia in the live broadcast room is very beautiful, and you want to start with one to raise, I will advise flower friends to give up, especially the pure indoor maintenance environment, after all, the state of succulents depends on their own to raise, buy is not bought. For the Tia variety, it is not recommended for the following three reasons.
First of all, Tia's requirements for light and temperature difference are very high, if the indoor lighting is good, it may be able to meet their needs for light, but the temperature difference is difficult to achieve, once in order to make Tia able to color, I moved to the corridor at night, and then took back to the south balcony during the day, so back and forth, there is indeed a little effect, their leaves will appear more obvious changes, but the color belongs to that kind of dark red, not as bright as the dew. This dark red color, for most lotus varieties, can be easily possessed, why toss yourself back and forth.
It is said that the succulents of the moon shadow system rely most on the large temperature difference, but the ice plumS that I raise indoors, after strict water control and increased light duration, can appear jelly color, the same method used in Tia has no effect, it can be seen how strong Tia's dependence on temperature difference is, and indoor maintenance of flower friends should be careful to choose.
Secondly, the variety of Tia is very easy to grow, for the succulents of the sedum, from time to time the apprentice has been considered a common thing, it is not strange, but most of the succulents are long, we can basically recover after a period of careful maintenance, but once Tia grows, we want to restore the value of the face through the way of control is really too difficult.
If the control of water is too fierce, they will be crazy long gas roots, the top leaves will become smaller and smaller, and then the whole pole will wither and wither without paying attention, if the sun is too long, this part of the pole is also easy to be dried up, making people overwhelmed. With high-particle soil, the leaves are not fat and the root system is easy to wither, with low-particle soil, it is easy to waste water and more stuffy roots, at least I have not found the right soil and water control method, so I gave up after two years of raising.
Finally, Tia's root system ages very quickly, I don't know if the flower friends who have raised this variety have this situation, the same maintenance environment, other succulents do not change pots for 4 years without problems, but Tia seems to be no, according to my observation, maintenance of about 2 years of Tia, once the side buds grow full of pots, either we are a little bit of pruning, leaving only some main branches, or give them a larger pot, while replacing the soil, or it is easy to have problems, and they are all problems starting from the root system, After digging it out, you will find that the roots at the bottom are all old roots, and there are almost no new roots, and I think that in addition to the maintenance method, it is mainly related to the growth characteristics of Tia.
Different from the large basin maintenance of Tia, if we use the thumb plate to maintain at the beginning, strictly control their growth rate, and do not lack light, the indoor Tia will have a faint color, but can not be short of water and exposure for a long time, otherwise it is also very easy to have problems, if you are not at home for a week or so, the succulents in question must have Tia.
The above 3 points are the most intuitive feelings in the process of raising Tia, not that I have any opinions on this variety, but simply think that the indoor is not suitable for raising, if there is an open environment, and like this variety, or can be assured of maintenance, with garden soil can be raised, can not use high-particle soil.
