Put some of it in a succulent pot, and they will all grow into plump and fat plants, oozing with oil!

Add some slow-release fertilizer to the pot and it will grow quickly!

Spring is the growing season for succulents. If you want them to grow into big fat plants as soon as possible, you must add some fertilizer. In addition, succulents are relatively small, so using some slow-release fertilizer is the most appropriate!

Steps:

1. The effect of slow-release fertilizer is released relatively slowly. Burying it in a succulent pot not only replenishes nutrients but also does not burn the roots. So go to the flower market and buy a bag of slow-release fertilizer, which can be used for several years!

2. When repotting succulents in spring, you can mix peat soil and granular soil in a 1:1 ratio, then put 10-20 grains of slow-release fertilizer in the potting soil, stir it thoroughly, and let the slow-release fertilizer slowly release nutrients in the soil, so that the succulent roots can absorb it.

3. If some flower lovers think that changing pots is too troublesome, they can also scoop a spoonful of slow-release fertilizer and bury it along the edge of the succulent pot, or directly sprinkle it on the surface of the potting soil. When watering, the slow-release fertilizer will penetrate directly into the soil with the water, thereby replenishing nutrients for the succulents.

4. After absorbing the nutrients in the slow-release fertilizer, the root system of succulents will become stronger and stronger, the growth will be more and more vigorous, and they will soon burst the pot!

Add some earthworm castings to the pot, and the leaves will be so fertile that they will ooze oil!

Huahua has heard before that earthworm castings are super safe and even the most delicate succulents will not burn their roots after using them. So if flower lovers are worried about burning their roots by fertilizing, you might as well try earthworm castings!

Steps:

1. Take advantage of the spring and go to the park or the wild to pick up some earthworm castings. There will be a lot of them, especially after the rain. Those that look crooked are earthworm castings!

2. Mix the earthworm manure you brought back with the soil prepared for succulents and use it as base fertilizer for succulents. The roots of succulents absorb the nutrients slowly released by earthworm castings, and they will grow fatter and fatter!

3. If the amount of earthworm manure you pick up is small, you can also throw it directly on the surface of the succulent pot. In this way, when watering, the nutrients in the earthworm manure will directly penetrate into the pot along with the water, which can also achieve the purpose of supplementing nutrients.

Add some bone meal to the pot, and the roots will burst the pot!

In addition to the most common slow-release fertilizer, you can also add some bone meal to the succulent pot to make the roots of the succulent thicker and stronger. Don't believe it? Then let’s take a look with Huahua!

Steps:

1. Don’t throw away the leftover fish bones and chicken bones at home. Just collect them and set them aside. Because bones contain more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, they can make the roots of succulents stronger.

2. Soak the bones in clean water for 5 hours, then put them in a pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 hours to extract all the salt from the bones.

3. Take the bones out of the pressure cooker, dry them in the sun, then smash them with a hammer or grind them directly into powder using a grinder.

4. When repotting succulents, sprinkle 2-3 spoons of bone meal into the nutrient soil, mix it with the potting soil, and use it as base fertilizer; you can also dig 3-5 small holes on the edge of the succulent pot and bury the bone meal in it. It only needs to be used once every 2-3 months.

5. Whether it is mixed in the potting soil or buried directly in the flowerpot, bone meal can slowly release phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, so that the roots of succulents can absorb them, grow stronger and stronger, and soon they will bloom out of the pot!

Add some egg shells to the pot, and the succulents will grow stronger!

If you want to make succulents grow quickly without spending any money, Huahua would like to provide a good method for all flower lovers, that is to use egg shells which are available in every household!

Steps:

1. Collect the remaining egg shells at home, wash them several times with clean water, clean the egg whites in the egg shells, and dry them in the sun to prevent attracting small insects.

2. Crush the dried eggshells by hand or put them directly into a grinder. Break the eggshells into powder completely and then put them in a small box for later use.

3. When repotting succulents in spring, grab a handful of eggshell powder and mix it directly with the potting soil as base fertilizer for repotting succulents. Allow the eggshell to slowly release phosphorus and calcium fertilizers in the soil, which will then be absorbed by the succulents.

4. If you really don’t want to change the pot, dig 2-4 small holes on the edge of the succulent pot and bury the egg shells in them. This can also achieve the purpose of supplementing phosphorus and calcium fertilizers. The succulent plants absorb nutrients from the eggshells, and they will become stronger and stronger. It will only take a few minutes for them to burst out of the pot.

Add some expanded clay in the pot and the roots won’t rot for 10 years!

Succulents are generally very small and require small pots as well, so you must be careful every time you water them and water them less. If you accidentally water them too much, the roots will soon rot!

Steps:

1. Although the particles of expanded clay are small, they are highly permeable to water and air, making them perfect for placing at the bottom of a pot!

2. When repotting, first put a layer of gauze in the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot to prevent soil from leaking.

3. Then spread a layer of the prepared expanded clay at the bottom of the flower pot to achieve the purpose of water permeability and air permeability.

4. Then put the prepared nutrient soil into the flowerpot, and then slowly put the succulents in.

5. The expanded clay at the bottom of the pot is loose and breathable, and has strong drainage. When watering is too much, the excess water will leak directly from the bottom of the pot, and water will not accumulate in the pot, thus avoiding the possibility of root rot of succulents.

That’s all for today’s introduction to Huahua.
