What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Raindrop Succulents?

Raindrop succulent is easy to grow. It is one of the simplest succulent plants to grow. It can grow well as long as some scattered light is provided. However, if you want it to be in good condition and have leaves that are bright red or pink, you need careful care.

How to grow raindrop succulents

1. Selection of potting soil

The succulent Raindrops is a relatively easy-to-grow succulent variety. If you want the Raindrops to grow healthily, the choice of potting soil is very important. You can use ceramic pots or clay pots. The bottom of the pot must have drainage holes. The soil used for planting should be loose and breathable. You can use a mixture of peat soil and granular soil.

2. Get more sun

Raindrops love sunlight very much. Only with sufficient light will the color be brighter and the leaves will be compact and strong. If there is a lack of light, the color of raindrops will be green all year round and they will grow tall. They can generally be placed in a sunny place and maintain more than 4 hours of sunlight a day.

3. Reasonable watering

When watering the Raindrops, you should follow the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry. Before each watering, you should observe whether the soil in the pot is dry. If the soil in the pot is dry, you can water the Raindrops in time. If the soil in the pot is not dry, you can slow down the watering time.

4. Adhere to outdoor cultivation

If you want the raindrops to look more beautiful, you must insist on growing them outdoors. As long as the outdoor temperature is above 5 degrees and below 30 degrees, you can grow them outdoors. There is more sunlight outdoors, good ventilation and air permeability, and the temperature difference is very large. In such an environment, the color of the raindrops will slowly turn red, and finally the entire leaf will turn red.

Precautions for caring for Raindrops

1. Although the Raindrop Succulent likes sunlight, it needs to be shaded in the hot summer, especially when the ambient temperature exceeds 35 degrees. It is necessary to avoid the midday sun, otherwise the leaves will be sunburned.

2. When watering the Raindrop Succulent, do not water from top to bottom. It is best to slowly apply water around the perimeter of the flowerpot to allow the soil to fully absorb it. In the summer when the temperature is high, control watering and choose to water in small amounts in the evening. In the winter when the temperature drops below 0 degrees, keep the soil dry. If the potting soil is moist, the roots can easily be frozen.
