Salvador, September 18, 2022, by Raíly Fortunato- Echeveria elegans, widely known as stone rose, is a species in the crassulaceae family, that is, the famous succulents.Originally from the semi-desert regions of Mexico, the stone rose has green foliage with a geometric organization similar to a rosette.Furthermore, due to the deposition of waxy substances on its foliage, the species also takes on a “dusty” appearance.Thus, they are highly requested in the ornamentation of vases and gardens, mainly by lovers of the great class.Therefore, we have put together for you in our content a complete guide to care for the stone rose, in order to guide you in creating a landscape project using the famous succulent.So, stay with us and check out the correct way to grow it in pots, the essential care with the plant and how to propagate it.The first step to ensure a good development of stone rose in pots is to provide a container with holes in the base.This will allow the flow of the liquid resulting from the irrigation process.In addition, it is essential to have a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, which can be made with expanded clay or garden gravel.On the top layer, add a geotextile blanket (bidim), which prevents the passage of pebbles to the bottom of the container.The soil for all succulents needs to be light, with a good drainage profile, as the species does not tolerate the accumulation of water in its roots.In this way, you can make a mixture using one part topsoil, two parts construction sand and one part perlite.After preparing the pot, add the substrate, leaving an indentation of the edge.Therefore, add the seedling of the plant in the center of the container and, if you plant in larger pots or in planters, leave a spacing of 12 cm between the seedlings.Although the stone rose is not fussy, it is essential to maintain a basic care routine with the species so that there is healthy growth.So, like most succulents, keep the plant's pot in filtered lighting, that is, in partial shade, since too much light can burn its leaves.In addition, watering must be spaced, but abundant, so that the water drains quickly to the bottom of the pot and for this, the substrate must be well prepared as already indicated.So, water your stone rose on average once a week, watering again only when the soil is completely dry.According to Aline Melo, on April 27, 2021, in collaboration with the website Uol, although this succulent adapts well to various types of soil, fertilization is welcome.In this way, you can fertilize it every 3 months with fertilizer suitable for succulents or with humus and crushed eggshell.Finally, after learning how to properly grow the stone rose, it's time to know the best way to propagate the plant.Thus, Agro e Jardim indicates the formation of cuttings, that is, the cutting, which consists of removing a healthy leaf from the plant, to serve as a seedling.For this process, cut the sheet, wait for a layer to form in the cut region and add wet sand.So, after creating roots, add them to the pot, following the above planting guidelines.We provide tips, tricks, and advice for improving websites and doing better search.Looking for a trustworthy service to optimize the company website?©2021 Pixwell made with Love, powered by ThemeRuby.Our website uses cookies to improve your experience.Learn more about: Cookies Policy
