How to grow the Dancing with Grace succulent

The Dancing Plant was originally distributed in South Africa. It is a variant of the genus Portulacaceae and the family Purslane.

Dancing with the Wind Succulent Plant Cultivation

1. Light: Dancing with Graces likes light. Except for providing it with proper shade at noon in summer, it should be placed outdoors to receive light at other times. If the potted plants are kept in a shaded environment for a long time and there is insufficient light, it will affect the photosynthesis of the plants, which will be detrimental to their flowering and reduce their ornamental value.

2. Water: Dancing with Grace is relatively drought-resistant. The principle of watering is to water when the soil is dry, and not water if it is not dry. When watering, water thoroughly to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil. In winter, the temperature drops and the plant gradually stops growing. At this time, stop watering and keep the soil dry.

3. Fertilization: If you want the Dancing with the Wind succulent to grow vigorously and bloom faster, you need to provide sufficient fertilizer, especially during the spring and autumn growing seasons. Apply liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer about twice a month. Be careful to control the application of nitrogen fertilizer to avoid excessive growth.

4. Soil: The Dancing Plant should be grown in loose, fertile soil with good air permeability and drainage. If you prepare the soil yourself, you can use a mixture of leaf mold, vermiculite, perlite, river sand, and garden soil. You can also add some wood ash or bone meal to the soil before planting to increase the fertility of the soil.
