How to speed up the root development of succulents(1) Root pruning before pottingWhether or not succulents need to have their roots trimmed before potting has always been a question that many novice flower lovers are concerned about. In fact , pruning the roots before potting will not cause the death of succulents, but is also beneficial to their later growth and development. Before potting, properly trim off the aging, rotten and overly long fibrous roots. This is beneficial to the development of the main root system, stimulates the growth of new capillary roots, and keeps the plant vigorous. If you have rooting powder at home, you can soak the roots in rooting water after pruning them, and then put them in pots after the wounds are dried. Rooting powder is a growth regulator and also has a certain effect on promoting the development of the root system. (2) Use granular soilIt is more suitable to use granular soil with a reasonable ratio when growing succulents, because granular soil contains rich mineral trace elements and has been calcined or expanded at high temperature to form a porous structure. Not only is it light in weight and sterile, it can improve the soil's aggregate structure, prevent soil compaction, and increase the air permeability of the root system. It is also beneficial in preventing waterlogging and root rot and promoting root growth. (3) Use fertilizer appropriatelySucculent plants can tolerate drought and barrenness and do not require much fertilizer, but using fertilizer in moderation is beneficial to promoting growth and maintaining a lush state. In particular, supplementing an appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer will play a certain role in promoting the root growth of succulents and improving their resistance. Fertilizers like Huaduoduo No. 1 and Aolv A2 can be used for succulents. Just pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently. (4) Change pots and soil regularlyMost succulents do not grow fast and do not require frequent repotting or changing of soil, but they still need to be repotted every 1-2 years and have their roots properly pruned to prevent the roots from becoming hardened, aging, and reducing their activity. When repotting old succulent plants, you can add some organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer as base fertilizer, which will help them grow vigorously after they adapt to the pot. (5) Proper humidity controlSucculents are particularly prone to excessive growth, fading, and even root rot when waterlogged, so humidity control is particularly important. Proper water control is not only beneficial for compact plant shape and coloring, but also for preventing root rot. Daily care and watering can be carried out depending on the dryness and wetness of the potting soil. If it is not dry, there is no need to water it casually. When growing outdoors, you should avoid prolonged rain and maintain good light and ventilation. |
