What are the breeding methods and precautions for succulent Chihuahuas?

Chihuahua is a succulent variety that we are very familiar with. Although it is a common variety and the price is very cheap, after being well maintained, its appearance is not inferior to any other variety of succulent and it looks very fresh. Because it is easy to cultivate, it has always been popular with everyone.

How to breed succulent Chihuahua

1. Pot soil

Succulent Chihuahuas like loose, breathable and fertile soil. It is recommended to add more granular soil, so that the plant will grow better and better and it is very easy to color. Although Chihuahuas are very hardy, they are particularly afraid of water accumulation, so we need to use breathable and water-permeable flower pots, and the flower pots also need to have bottom holes for drainage.

2. Fertilizer

Although Chihuahuas have a certain degree of drought resistance, if you want them to grow better, they must have sufficient nutrients. Appropriately adding some succulent slow-release fertilizers in spring and autumn will help the growth of succulents. Remember the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently, and add sufficient water and fertilizers so that the plants absorb well and grow better.

3. Sunlight

Chihuahuas like an environment with sufficient light, so they must be exposed to more sunlight during the growing period. If they are kept in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, the plants will easily grow tall and fade. It is best to place them in a place with sufficient light, coupled with a suitable temperature difference between day and night, the Chihuahua will have beautiful color and grow better and better.

4. Moisture

The leaves of Chihuahua are very thick and can store a lot of water by themselves. The demand for water is not large, so do not water it frequently, otherwise the leaves will grow too long and it will be difficult to grow in good condition. Control water appropriately and wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering. In this way, the Chihuahua will grow better and better.

Precautions for caring for succulent Chihuahua

When caring for succulent Chihuahuas, never use concentrated fertilizers, and do not apply fertilizer close to the roots, otherwise it will burn the roots and cause root rot. Also, choose the right time to fertilize, avoid the hot noon, it is best to do it in the cool morning and evening.

When watering the succulent Chihuahua, you can look at the condition of the leaves. As long as the leaves are wrinkled, it means it is time to water it. You can add some water in an appropriate amount. Remember not to over-water. Generally, it is enough to see water flowing out of the flowerpot. After watering, place it in a well-ventilated place so that the water can evaporate faster.
