How does Tiaduo Succulent turn red? This is the right way to maintain it!

1. Lighting

Tia succulent likes mild sunlight, dry soil and has strong adaptability. When the temperature is not high enough in winter, there will be a short dormant period. If you want the Tiia succulent to turn red, you must place it in direct sunlight in summer and autumn, but not in direct sunlight; at the same time, sufficient sunlight can also prevent the Tiia succulent from growing too tall.

2. Watering

The rapid growth stage of Tiia succulent is in spring, early summer and autumn every year. If you want Tiia succulent to turn into a flame red in autumn and winter, you must control the amount of watering. Watering should be done in the summer morning and after the sun goes down to keep the soil moist; watering should be done before noon in spring and autumn; watering in winter should be done when the temperature is highest every day, usually at noon or after lunch.

3. Soil

Tia succulent particularly likes dry soil, so the potting soil should be a mixed soil with a fluffy texture and special breathability. It can be composed of ordinary flower bed soil, river silt, and animal and plant bone powder. This kind of soil not only has good water circulation, but also can provide Tia with sufficient nutrients. Cultivating Tia succulent in this kind of soil will allow its fleshy leaves to store enough energy during the production period, which is the prerequisite for ensuring that it turns flame red in autumn and winter.

4. Temperature

When the temperature remains between 15 and 20°C throughout the day, and the maximum temperature difference between day and night is greater than or equal to 6°C, the color of the leaves of Tia succulent will gradually change from light green to dark green; when the temperature remains between 5 and 15°C throughout the day, and the maximum temperature difference between day and night is greater than or equal to 10°C, when it is relatively cold in the morning and after sunset, and there is sunshine at noon, the color of the leaves of Tia succulent will change from dark green to bright red; when the temperature is less than or equal to 10°C or there is rain or snow in winter, the color change process of Tia succulent will accelerate.
