Succulents have a cute appearance, and many people like to grow them at home or in the office. Succulents are drought-resistant and do not require much watering. They can survive well even in arid environments. They are very simple to maintain. As long as you take good care of the soil, watering and light, they can grow well. How to grow succulent plants1. Soil When planting succulents, you must choose loose, fertile soil with good air permeability and drainage. Otherwise, water will accumulate in the pot soil, which will easily cause root rot and affect the growth of succulents. Succulents are not very demanding on the acidity and alkalinity of the soil. Neutral soil or acidic soil can be used. Alkaline soil is not suitable for the growth of succulents. 2. Watering Succulents are drought-resistant but not water-resistant. Do not water them too frequently. There is no need to water them every day. Watering them once a week or two is sufficient. The specific amount of watering can be determined according to weather conditions. Water more when it is dry and less when it is wet. 3. Lighting Succulent is a light-loving plant. Adequate sunlight can provide it with sufficient nutrient accumulation, making it grow stronger. However, it is not resistant to strong light. When the light is too strong in summer, appropriate shading measures should be taken and it should be placed in a position where it can receive scattered sunlight. Key points for planting succulent plants1. Choose cold-resistant varieties There are many varieties of succulents. Beginners can choose varieties that are highly adaptable to the environment and cold-resistant, such as Sedum and Sedum succulents, which can grow well even under extreme conditions. 2. Adequate direct light Many plants and flowers cannot see too much sunlight, but succulents can only thrive in the sun. However, they need proper shade in the summer, especially at noon when the sun is quite strong. You can cover them with a shade net or move them to a semi-shaded place to avoid excessive exposure to the sun. 3. Soil selection When planting succulents, do not use pure sand directly. The roots of succulents are difficult to absorb water. It is best to use cactus soil, or peat soil mixed with perlite, and you can add river sand appropriately. |
