Cultivation methods and precautions of ebony succulents

Ebony succulent is a relatively easy-to-grow succulent plant. Some people always say that it is easy to kill ebony succulent, mostly because they do not master the correct cultivation methods. Generally speaking, as long as the growth conditions in all aspects are suitable, it can be maintained in a relatively good state all year round, will not fade suddenly, and can withstand slightly higher temperatures.

How to grow ebony succulents

1. Soil

Cultivating ebony succulents requires soil with good air permeability and water permeability, because its leaves themselves contain a lot of water. If water accumulates in the soil, root rot is likely to occur. Generally, peat soil, river sand and perlite can be mixed in a certain proportion and used.

2. Watering

Ebony prefers a drier growing environment, so don't water it too frequently. During the peak growth period in spring and autumn, you can water it thoroughly after most of the soil is dry. In summer and winter, you must follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry.

3. Temperature

When its growth temperature exceeds 35 degrees, we need to provide it with appropriate shade and keep it in a well-ventilated environment. When the temperature drops below 5 degrees in winter, we need to move the ebony to an environment with a temperature above 10 degrees to avoid frostbite.

4. Fertilization

Ebony is not a succulent that likes fertilizer. Generally, fertilization should be stopped during the slow growth period, otherwise it will easily cause the roots of ebony to burn. During the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, it is enough to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium triple fertilizer once every 20 to 30 days.

Precautions for the maintenance of ebony succulents

1. Shelter from the rain

During the rainy summer months, ebony succulents are more afraid of being caught in the rain. After being caught in the rain, it is easy for their leaves to turn black and rot, and their roots and leaves to rot, so you must take measures to avoid the rain.

2. Ventilation

The growth of ebony succulents should not be in a poorly ventilated environment, especially in a hot and humid environment. If the ventilation is not good, the ebony will definitely turn black and rot due to the humidity and heat.
