Hearing the name "Mage", I believe many people will be inexplicable, but it is not a magician with magic, but a herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Lotus palm of the Crassulaceae family. Among the cultivated varieties of Lotus palm, succulents are considered one kind.
As a "post-80s" succulent plant lover, Peng Xiaojing has been dealing with succulents for 15 years since his first contact with succulents, and he has become a "mage" nurturing expert.
Peng Xiaojing said: "Six years ago, China's first batch of'Masters' plant genetic mutations appeared, and the appearance of "Masters" was getting higher and higher. It was loved by many flower players, so I introduced these varieties from other places to Golmud. ."
"I first raised a'mage' to create a landscape for my home. Later, through observation, I discovered that the'mage' growing on the plateau has actually undergone a different change." Peng Xiaojing said that after discovering this change, he wanted to cultivate on the plateau. Own "mage".
"Because my parents are growers in a gardening farm, and seeing that I am particularly fond of studying succulents, he vacated a greenhouse for him to concentrate on his own succulent "mage"." Peng Xiaojing said that the "mage" of foreign farming is divided into different areas. There are also many training points, but the variety has been difficult to expand, and it is difficult to maintain its appearance.
On the contrary, the "mage" cultivated in Golmud's unique plateau climate has strong resistance to adversity and particularly high quality.
The reporter went into the greenhouse with Peng Xiaojing, passing through the potted seedling area, the ground seedling area, and the leaf inserting seedling area. Peng Xiaojing taught the reporter cutting and subcutaneous grafting.
Peng Xiaojing said that besides going to work, he spends his spare time in his "secret garden" every day to deal with the "mage", check the condition of seedlings, observe the water and soil, and control the temperature of the greenhouse.
Today, Peng Xiaojing has planted 82 varieties of "Master", including 21 common types and 61 mid-to-high-end types.
After years of cultivation, Peng Xiaojing also summed up a lot of experience in planting for the "Master" on the plateau: "The temperature in summer is not high and it is more suitable for the growth of the "Master". The stronger ultraviolet rays will cause the "Master" to produce a lot of color changes, and the temperature difference between morning and evening. Reaching 10 degrees Celsius is conducive to the growth of "Masters" and so on."
With several years of planting and management, Peng Xiaojing's "Master" planted is not only loved by local succulents lovers, but also attracted many foreign friends to order and foster.
With a live broadcast stand and a mobile phone, Peng Xiaojing promoted the plateau "mage" to fans in the live broadcast room, and at the same time interacted with fans to exchange flower-growing skills.
