How to grow succulents to make them more vigorous

1. Plenty of light

Light is necessary for the growth of succulents and is also a very critical aspect. If the plant is placed in a very dark place for a long time and does not see enough light, the growth of the plant will become weak, and its color will not look good and its leaves will not have luster. Therefore, if you want it to grow vigorously, you must provide it with sufficient light. But the stronger the better is not necessarily the case. It should not be exposed to too strong light and also needs shade.

2. Suitable soil

The soil chosen when first planting is also very important and has a great impact on subsequent growth. If you want it to grow vigorously in the future, you should choose the soil carefully. There are many requirements, such as soft, breathable, nutritious, good drainage, etc. You can use leaf mold and add some vermiculite to it.

3. Watering location and interval

When watering, it is best not to use a watering can, just water it directly into the soil. Otherwise, its growth will be affected. Also, the interval between watering should be adjusted, not too frequent. Water again after the soil is dry. Doing it too frequently will be detrimental to its growth. Moreover, some varieties grow better with less watering.

4. Appropriate fertilizer

Proper fertilization is necessary for the plants to grow vigorously. You can use some organic fertilizer or nutrient solution. However, it is best not to apply fertilizer too close to the roots, otherwise it will easily damage the roots.
