Cultivation methods and precautions of purple mist

Purple mist is easy to maintain, and the maintenance method is very simple. In spring and autumn, it can be fully exposed to sunlight and watered, and in summer, it can be properly shaded and protected from rain. You can try outdoor cultivation. You can choose a loose and breathable medium such as peat, coconut coir, and granular soil for the soil, with a 50:50 ratio. Add appropriate base fertilizer. Outdoor cultivation can be considered in areas above zero in winter, and pay attention to cold protection in areas below zero.

How to grow purple mist

Purple Mist likes light very much in its growth habits. When caring for it, it is necessary to control the temperature of the growth environment between 15-25 degrees, and provide the plant with no less than 4 hours of scattered light every day to ensure the normal growth of the plant. It is also necessary to add water to the succulent to keep the soil moist and prevent the fleshy leaves from wilting.

1. Potting soil

Purple Mist has very high requirements for soil. If you want it to grow vigorously, it is best to prepare loose, well-drained, breathable and nutrient-rich soil. When preparing the soil, you can mix coarse sand and organic fertilizer into the garden soil. After preparation, expose it to the sun for two days before use. The requirements for the flower pot are not high, as long as it is of suitable size and has drainage holes at the bottom.

2. Watering

Purple Mist has a very strong drought resistance. You don't need to water it too frequently during the cultivation period. Just water it when you find the soil is dry. Generally, water it thoroughly when it is dry, and alternate between dry and wet. This is more conducive to growth. The growth rate of Purple Mist succulent will slow down in summer and winter every year, and the water consumption will also decrease. Water should be controlled appropriately, and the soil should be kept slightly dry overall.

3. Lighting

Purple Mist likes light very much. It will be more beautiful and its leaves will be brighter in a brightly lit environment. The light in spring, autumn and winter is very soft, so it can be placed in a well-lit place and receive full sunlight. The light in summer is too strong, so it should be blocked in time to avoid burns.

4. Temperature

Purple Mist likes warmth. There is no need to worry about the temperature in spring and autumn. It can be placed outdoors for maintenance. The temperature in summer is too high, so ventilation must be strengthened. It is best to control the temperature below 32°C. After winter, the temperature is low, so the Purple Mist succulent must be moved indoors, and the temperature must be controlled at around 10°C to ensure safe wintering.

5. Fertilization

Spring and autumn every year are the peak growth seasons for Purple Mist Succulent. It grows fast and consumes a lot of nutrients. In order to promote vigorous growth, it is recommended to apply thin fertilizers frequently. You can choose compound fertilizers, dilute them and water them with fertilizer liquid. Fertilize once a month. Fertilize must be stopped in summer and winter to avoid fertilizer damage.

Purple Mist Maintenance Precautions

When caring for Purple Mist, be careful not to often place it in a dark environment, otherwise it will easily grow too tall and its overall condition will deteriorate. It is very afraid of cold and can only withstand temperatures above 5°C. Keep warm in winter to avoid frostbite or death.
