How to prepare succulent soil and how to prepare succulent soil

Succulent soil requirements

The general price of succulents is about 5-10 yuan per pot, which includes a small plastic pot, succulent plants and soil. Generally, the soil that comes with succulents is black nutrient soil.

However, the nutrients contained in the nutrient soil are far from enough for the growth of succulents. The soil for cultivating succulents must have the three most important points: first, good air permeability, second, sufficient nutrition, and third, few bacteria and insect eggs.

How to prepare succulent nutrient soil

When preparing the soil for succulents, you need to add some sand. The purpose of adding sand is to ensure that the soil can fix the roots and prevent the soil from being too loose, which will affect the rooting of succulents. Basically, the ratio of ordinary soil and nutrient soil is 1:1.

Then you can add a little organic fertilizer. When the soil is prepared, you should expose it to the sun. You can also spray carbendazim regularly. You can also heat it in the microwave for two to three minutes.

Key points to note when preparing soil for succulent plants

Succulent plants are most afraid of waterlogging in the soil, so you must ensure that the soil has good air permeability. Generally, you can add volcanic rocks or broken tiles and other materials to the soil to increase the air permeability of the soil. You can also add some pine needles. The nutrients contained in the pine needles can also keep the soil at a certain temperature.
