When to plant succulentsSucculents can be planted in spring and autumn, but the specific planting time varies in different planting areas. The temperature and humidity can be artificially controlled to plant succulents. The soil should have good air permeability. In addition, the plants should be given sufficient light to ensure that the plants absorb enough nutrients. How to grow succulent plantsThe propagation methods of succulents include grafting, cuttings, sowing, root cuttings, division, leaf cuttings, and cutting of growing points. Among them, Aizoaceae is often propagated by sowing, Crassulaceae is often propagated by leaf cuttings, Sedum is often propagated by cutting of growing points, and Cactaceae is often propagated by grafting. Steps to grow succulents1. Cuttings: Succulents can be propagated by cuttings. They have the characteristics of fast growth and early flowering. It is best to take cuttings when they start to grow during the Spring Festival. Choose strong leaves, disinfect them, place them in a dry and ventilated place to allow the wounds to heal, and then insert them into well-ventilated, water-retaining and well-drained soil. After cuttings, pay attention to controlling the humidity of the soil. 2. Sowing: Succulents can be sown in spring. Before sowing, the seeds, utensils and substrates should be sterilized first. After sowing, cover them with a layer of plastic film and poke several small holes on it. During maintenance, ventilate frequently, provide sufficient light and keep moist. 3. Division: Succulents of the Crassulaceae, Sedum, Cactaceae, and Lithops genera can be propagated by division. Cut off the side buds at the roots, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then insert them into slightly moist soil to induce root growth. Succulents of the Crassulaceae family should not be buried completely in the soil, as their vital roots must be induced. Succulent care matters1. Shading: Succulents cannot tolerate strong sunlight exposure, so shading measures need to be taken. It is best to place the succulents in the shade of the south balcony (windowsill). Cover them with a shade net to provide a relatively cool and well-ventilated summer environment for the succulents. 2. Good ventilation: During the maintenance of succulents, frequent ventilation is required to maintain air circulation. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests and enable them to grow better. 3. Watering: Succulents cannot tolerate waterlogging, so just keep the soil slightly moist. In summer, try to water them in the evening or at night, not at noon. |
