How to grow blue light succulents, what to do if the leaves turn yellow

1. How to raise

1. Loose soil: For succulents, loose soil is helpful for root growth and breathing, and blue light is no exception. Peat or coconut coir is usually used as the main substrate, and an appropriate amount of granular soil is added to increase its drainage. If the drainage capacity is insufficient, it will often lead to root rot.

2. Adequate light: Blue light is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light. If it is too dark, the plant will grow too tall and become loose overall, which will not look beautiful. Usually, you should place it in a sunny place so that it can receive full sunlight. But avoid excessive sunlight, otherwise the plants will get sunburned.

3. Watering appropriately: Blue light itself does not require much water, so do not water it too much, otherwise the roots will be flooded, affecting its breathing, and even causing it to rot in severe cases. Usually you should water thoroughly after the soil is dry to ensure that there is enough moisture. In addition, reduce watering during the dormant period and keep the soil dry.

4. Reasonable fertilization: Blue light needs certain nutrients during its growth process, so it is necessary to fertilize it reasonably. Fertilization is mostly concentrated in the growing season, and usually once a month is enough. Use special fertilizers for succulents, and pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer to avoid burning the roots with concentrated fertilizer. When the plant enters the dormant period, you need to stop applying fertilizer in time, otherwise it will affect its growth.

2. What to do if the leaves turn yellow

The reason why the leaves of blue light turn yellow is usually due to high temperatures or strong light, which often happens in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to place it in a semi-shaded environment for maintenance to avoid the plant being exposed to the sun. At the same time, you should spray water around it, which can also have a cooling effect.
