Cultivation methods and precautions of succulent Yuanbao

The leaves of the succulent plant Yuanbao are symmetrically distributed. When it grows well, it looks like plump ingots, so it is named Yuanbao. Yuanbao, like other succulents, is drought-resistant but not water-resistant, and likes light but not strong light. It is very suitable for home potted cultivation.

How to cultivate succulent Yuanbao

1. Soil

Succulent plants are suitable for planting in loose and fertile soil, so when potting them, you cannot use only garden soil or roadside soil. On the other hand, the soil should have good air permeability and drainage, which is helpful for root growth. It is usually a mixture of humus soil and peat soil.

2. Sunlight

The Yuanbao succulent is not resistant to strong light, so it is best not to place it outdoors. It can be placed in a place with scattered light indoors, generally in a place with relatively good air circulation such as a balcony or windowsill. It can grow healthily and maintain a healthy state.

3. Watering

The stems and leaves of the succulent plant contain a lot of water, and it has a certain degree of drought resistance. We water it daily, and there is no need to water it unless the soil is completely dry. If it is planted outdoors and the air humidity is high, then even if the soil is completely dry, you can postpone watering for two or three days, which will not affect the normal development of the succulent plant at all.

4. Fertilization

Succulent plants are generally potted in loose and fertile soil. Fertilizer should be applied as much as possible during the growing period, especially in spring and autumn when the growth is vigorous. It is sufficient to apply organic fertilizer once or twice a month. Remember to stop fertilizing in winter.

Precautions for caring for succulent plants

1. Summer maintenance: The succulent Yuanbao needs shade maintenance in summer. When the light is relatively weak, we need to pay attention to the maintenance method, try to water less and not fertilize. This can effectively prevent the stems and leaves of the Yuanbao succulent from growing too long and becoming ugly.

2. Timely pruning: If the succulent plant grows too tall, it is best to cut it off as soon as possible. Don't waste the cut leaves. You can plant them by cuttings. As long as the leaf buds are intact, they will survive.
