How to raise succulent chicks

Succulent female chicks growth conditions

The succulent girl plant likes a dry and ventilated environment. It can tolerate semi-shade and is relatively drought-resistant. It will enter a dormant period during the high temperatures in summer. Watering should be controlled and appropriate shade should be provided. The temperature in winter needs to be above 5 degrees. It is suitable for planting in loose and well-ventilated soil.

How to raise succulent chicks

1. Soil selection: Choose the soil that is most suitable for the growth of female chicks. You can prepare some granular vermiculite and Akadama soil to increase the air permeability and drainage effect of the soil, and then mix it with some fertile soil.

2. Illumination: The temperature is more suitable in spring and autumn. You can place the chicks on the balcony or some outdoor places to receive sufficient light and maximum light and temperature difference. This will allow the chicks to quickly reveal a bright red color and prevent sunburn in summer.

3. Amount of watering: During the growing period of the succulent plant, the amount of watering should basically be kept at the level of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry. Water once every 10 days or so. Reduce the amount of watering during the summer and winter dormancy periods, especially in the cold winter when the temperature is below 5 degrees, then stop watering, otherwise the soil will be too moist and the roots of the plant will be frozen.

Watering the succulent girl

The temperature is lower in spring and winter, so it is best to water the succulent plants at noon when the temperature is slightly higher. In summer, the temperature is high and the sunlight is strong, so it is best to water them in the morning and evening or when it is cooler. Do not water them directly on the leaves at night, but keep the leaves dry.

Fertilizing succulent chicks

Fertilization and watering of succulent girls are often carried out in coordination. Fertilizer is applied every 20 days during the growing period. Water is applied in time after fertilization. Avoid water accumulation in the pot soil. This can help the roots absorb nutrients better and will not cause fertilizer damage.

Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for female chicks, and they need to be provided with sufficient water. In summer, watering should be controlled and water can be sprayed appropriately. Except for the need for shade in summer, they can be placed in the sun in other seasons. Keeping them in a place with good light will allow the plant to have a compact and beautiful shape and be more ornamental.

Precautions for caring for succulent chicks

When caring for succulent girl plants in summer, you must control watering, stop fertilizing, and maintain a good ventilation environment. Watering time can be chosen at night. If the temperature is below 0 degrees in winter, stop applying water and fertilizer. It is best to move it to a sunny place indoors for maintenance.
