How to grow succulent evergreen and what to pay attention to

Growth habits of succulent evergreen

The succulent evergreen likes a semi-shaded, warm, humid, well-ventilated environment and avoids direct sunlight. It should be placed in a relatively warm place with scattered light. It should not be exposed to direct strong light in summer. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-25 degrees.

How to cultivate succulent evergreen

To cultivate the succulent evergreen, use a mixture of equal amounts of humus, forest leaf mold, sandy garden soil, slag ash and manure. Keep the soil moist and do not allow accumulation of water in the soil. Keep the temperature at 20-30℃ when growing, and above 7℃ in winter, and give it bright scattered light.

Watering the succulent evergreen

If you want to water the succulent evergreen plant, you should water it once every three or four days in spring and autumn. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so you should water it more often and spray it frequently. In winter, you should control the water level. It is best if the soil is slightly dry. Make sure the water temperature is close to room temperature to avoid damaging the roots. When watering, just let it seep slowly from the edge of the pot until water flows out from the bottom.

Fertilizing the succulent evergreen

When preparing to plant succulent evergreens, you need to mix base fertilizer into the soil, such as fully fermented animal manure mixed with a small amount of soil. After that, topdressing mainly uses nitrogen fertilizer, and nutrients sufficient in nitrogen are preferred. In addition, you can also spray diluted urea on its leaves, which is very effective.

Cuttings of succulent Dieffenbachia

Then place them in a semi-shaded environment and keep the temperature at 24-30 degrees Celsius.

Precautions for the maintenance of succulent evergreen

Usually in the early spring every year, it is necessary to cut off the aging branches and leaves of the succulent evergreen in time. Such pruning is not only conducive to the sprouting of new branches, but also makes it look more beautiful.

2. Apply fertilizer appropriately

Spring is the growing season for the succulent evergreen. It is necessary to apply diluted compound fertilizer to it almost every 15 days to ensure that the plant has sufficient nutrients to support the growth of its new branches.
