万象

万象的基本数据

养护难度

适合中级者

寿命

长期生长的多年生植物（寿命数据有限）

体型

无茎中型莲座状。叶长至2.5厘米，叶先窗口直径1～1.5厘米

浇水

春季和秋季生长期，施以稀释后的低氮肥料，用量少

日照和放置位置

全年在明亮的半阴环境中栽培。从阴暗处突然移至强日光下会叶烧，影响窗口的外观。夏季要保持凉爽。

浇水

春季（3～6月）和秋季（9～11月）生长型。生长期土壤干透后充分浇水，夏季和冬季减少浇水使其休眠。休眠期也不要让土壤完全干燥。

温度和越冬

以最低5℃左右为目标进行越冬。有霜冻地区需移入室内明亮处越冬。

土壤和换盆

收缩根深伸，需用深盆和排水良好的砂砾质土壤种植。每年根的一部分枯死，需经常换盆整理受损根系。

繁殖方法

可通过分株、叶插、根插和播种繁殖。若要保持具名选拔品系的原样，需通过叶插或分株等无性繁殖。

病虫害和注意事项

易腐烂，需避免过湿。花上易生介壳虫和蚜虫，根部易生根粉蚧。

关于万象

Haworthia maughanii (Bansho): a medium rosette with round windows at its leaf tips, clear, opaque or netted. Intermediate level. Care tips and FAQs.

开始养护万象前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Bright light, no harsh sun

   Bansho likes a bright spot, but strong direct sun can scorch the windows on its leaf tips. Light filtered through a sheer curtain, or bright partial shade, helps keep the windows clear. Too little light makes the plant stretch out, so make sure it gets enough.

2. 2Water only when dry

   Water thoroughly once the soil has fully dried out, until water runs from the drainage hole. Because it stores water in its leaves, keeping the soil constantly damp invites root rot. When growth slows, wait longer between waterings and give less.

3. 3Free-draining mix and pot

   A commercial succulent mix, or a blend with pumice and kanuma soil, drains well and suits this plant. The roots grow thick, so choose a pot deep enough to hold them comfortably. Unglazed terracotta dries faster and is forgiving while you learn how much water the plant wants.

4. 4Repot every 1 to 2 years

   Repot about once every one to two years to prevent crowded roots and tired soil. Spring or autumn, when growth picks up, is the best time. Roots can be slightly damaged during repotting, so wait a few days before watering.

5. 5Cool, airy summers

   Hot, humid summer weather can cause rot, so keep the plant in bright shade with good airflow. Growth slows then, so water sparingly and let the plant rest. Shade cloth also softens the sun and helps prevent scorched windows.

6. 6Winter: avoid frost

   Keep it away from frost and freezing, for example on a sunny indoor windowsill. Water sparingly and never leave the soil damp for long. If the windowsill gets cold at night, move the plant a little back from the glass.

7. 7Pick by window pattern

   Windows vary widely, from clear to opaque to netted, so check the photos and choose the look you like. Good signs are windows free of scars and discoloration, a tight rosette, and a base that does not wobble. Each listing is a different plant, so ask the grower about anything you are unsure of.

万象的常见问题

Q.Can a beginner grow Bansho?

A.It is rated for intermediate growers. Light and watering affect the windows and roots, so settle on a spot and adjust as you watch how the plant responds.

Q.What if the leaf windows change color?

A.Scorching from strong direct sun or root trouble from overwatering can be the cause. Soften the light and check whether the soil has dried out. If it does not improve, ask the grower for advice.

Q.Do the window patterns change as it grows?

A.Window clarity and patterns differ from plant to plant, and how they look can shift with light and the plant's condition. To keep the look you chose, avoid sunburn and excess moisture and give it a stable environment.

Q.How often should I water?

A.There is no fixed schedule; judge by whether the soil has dried out. In spring and autumn, water thoroughly once it is dry, and in summer and winter wait longer and water less.

Q.Can I grow it only on an indoor windowsill?

A.Yes, if the windowsill is bright. Choose a spot that gets light through a sheer curtain, and in summer, when air tends to stagnate, keep the air moving with a fan or circulator.
