Can wood chips be used to grow succulents?Sawdust can generally be used to grow succulents, but it is not suitable to use too much, because sawdust has a strong ability to absorb water. If too much is used, the soil will be too moist, which is not conducive to the growth of succulents. When planting succulents, put less sawdust and more other soils with good air permeability. You can plant succulents by mixing them together. The pros and cons of growing succulents on sawdustAdvantages: Using sawdust to plant succulents can retain water when there is insufficient water, which will not cause the soil of the succulents to become compacted. Disadvantages: Sawdust has a strong ability to absorb water. If there is too much moisture, it will easily breed bacteria. Therefore, using sawdust alone is not conducive to the growth of succulents. How to grow succulents with sawdust1. Watering method: Succulents planted with sawdust do not need to be watered frequently. Generally, you can water them enough at one time and then add water after the soil is completely dry. If you water them frequently, the accumulated water cannot be drained, which will affect the growth of succulents. 2. Soil preparation: Sawdust cannot be used alone to plant succulents. It must be planted together with peat or vermiculite to increase the air permeability of the soil. |
