How to cultivate coral beads

Coral Bead Growth Conditions

Coral beads prefer a growing environment with sufficient light. Except for the high temperature in summer when they need semi-shade maintenance, they need full sun for the rest of the time. They can withstand the low temperature of minus 5 degrees Celsius in winter and can continue to grow at around 12 degrees Celsius. They should be kept in an indoor air-conditioned room in winter and can be watered appropriately to keep the soil in the pot moist.

How to grow coral beads

During the maintenance process, give the coral beads sufficient light to the plants, but also avoid direct sunlight. Except for summer, they can receive sunlight all year round. They hibernate in high temperatures in summer and can be planted indoors in air-conditioned rooms in winter.

Coral Bead Watering

When the coral beads are growing vigorously, the soil should be kept in a slightly moist state and should not lack water. Water should be replenished in time. Watering should generally be done when the soil is dry. Do not cause water accumulation in the pot soil in rainy seasons, and cut off watering in winter.

Coral Bead Fertilization

Coral beads like fertilizer. During the growing period, they need to be applied with well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.

How to grow coral beads at home

1. Substrate: When cultivating coral beads at home, you can buy special soil for succulents. It will not affect the growth after cultivation. You can also make your own cultivation substrate, but you must ensure good air permeability and not be too thick.

2. Sunlight: Coral beads prefer sunlight, but are also afraid of being exposed to the scorching sun. Therefore, during the maintenance process, the plants must be given sufficient light, while also avoiding direct sunlight.

Coral Bead Maintenance Precautions

The leaf cutting method is generally used for coral bead propagation. The full leaves should be cut from the fleshy mother plant for leaf cutting. Be careful not to have signs of disease and insect pests on the leaves, and do not let them grow too weak. After pruning, let them dry slightly and then lay flat on the surface of the substrate.
