唐印

唐印的基本数据

养护难度

适合新手

寿命

莲座型在开花后枯萎，由根部子株更新

体型

叶长（6〜）8〜12（〜14）厘米，花茎高70〜150厘米

浇水

夏季生长期施用缓效性肥料或少量液体肥料

日照和放置位置

为夏季生长型，4〜9月为生长期。生长期应在阳光充足、通风良好的室外环境中养护。耐热性强，夏季生长也不会减缓。

浇水

生长期土壤表面干燥后充分浇水。10〜3月休眠期仅进行叶面喷水1〜2次/月，保持干燥，春季新芽萌动后逐步恢复浇水。

温度和越冬

怕冷，最低气温低于10℃时生长缓慢，应在室内明亮处越冬。冬季低温会使叶片呈红色，但应避免强烈冻结。

土壤和换盆

用排水性良好的土壤栽植，每2〜3年在生长期前期或初期进行一次换盆。

繁殖方法

剥离根部萌发的子株进行繁殖。需要注意的是，园艺中作为唐印出售的K. luciae据称不能进行叶片扦插。

病虫害和注意事项

茎和叶可能受蚧壳虫或蚜虫危害，根部可能生蚜虫。蛞蝓啃食会在叶片上留下痕迹，应加以防止。叶上的白粉触摸会脱落，因此应避免接触植株。

关于唐印

Paddle plant (Kalanchoe): a beginner-friendly succulent with big, powdery round leaves that redden in sun. Tips on light, watering and offsets.

开始养护唐印前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Give it bright light

   It prefers a bright, airy spot. Good light keeps the leaves compact and helps the red edging develop. In a dim room the growth tends to stretch, so a window sill or other bright place suits it best.

2. 2Water only when dry

   The leaves store water, so overwatering can lead to root rot. Wait until the soil is dry through the pot, not just on the surface, then water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom. Pour gently at the base so you do not wash the powder off the leaves.

3. 3Soil and pot choice

   Choose a free-draining mix. Ready-made succulent and cactus soil is the easy option, and you can adjust it with akadama or pumice. Use a pot with a drainage hole and avoid one that is too large, which makes it easier to keep the roots from staying wet.

4. 4Repot in spring as growth begins

   As a summer grower active from April to September, repot when the roots fill the pot, in spring (around April) as the growing season begins; every two to three years is a rough guide. Shake off the old soil, trim any damaged roots, and hold back on water for a while afterward so the roots can recover. The large leaves make it top-heavy, so a stable pot helps prevent tipping.

5. 5Summer growth, winter rest

   It handles heat well and keeps growing through summer. During the April-to-September growing season, keep it outdoors in a sunny, airy spot and water thoroughly when the soil surface dries. It dislikes cold and slows down once lows drop below 10°C, so overwinter it in a bright indoor spot. During dormancy from October to March, keep it dry with just a light misting once or twice a month, then gradually resume watering when new growth starts in spring.

6. 6Choosing a healthy plant

   Look for thick, firm leaves with an even coat of white powder. Check that there are no scars, dark patches or soft, shriveled areas, and that the base of the plant is not wobbly. The powder rubs off when touched, so pick the plant up by the pot rather than the leaves.

7. 7Offsets after flowering

   When it flowers, the stalk grows about 70–150 cm tall, and the rosette that bloomed will die afterward. Offsets form at the base, though, and growing them on lets you renew the plant and keep it going. Do not be alarmed by flowering; just watch how the offsets develop.

唐印的常见问题

Q.Is it suitable for beginners?

A.Yes, it is generally considered beginner-friendly. Give it bright light and let the soil dry out between waterings, and it is a fairly easy succulent to look after.

Q.Are red leaf edges a sign of disease?

A.Usually not. Red edging is the plant's normal response to sunlight. If leaves turn soft or blackish instead, suspect overwatering and check how wet the soil is.

Q.Does the plant die after it flowers?

A.The rosette that flowers does die, but offsets at the base take over. If you grow the offsets on, the plant renews itself.

Q.Does the white powder wash off?

A.Touching or splashing the leaves can rub the powder off and leave visible marks. Water at the base of the plant and handle it by the pot, not the leaves.

Q.How big does it get?

A.Leaves are typically 8–12 cm long, ranging from about 6 cm to 14 cm. When it flowers, the stalk reaches 70–150 cm tall.
