How to grow succulent Olivia

1. How to raise

1. Soil: Olivia grows well in loose and fertile soil. If the soil is too sticky, the roots will not be able to breathe, affecting the development of the plant.

2. Light: As a succulent plant, Olivia likes an environment with sufficient light. It should be placed in a sunny place at ordinary times, but it needs appropriate shade during the hot summer season.

3. Watering: Olivia does not require much water and has good drought resistance, so do not water it too much, otherwise it will easily cause root rot.

4. Fertilization: Olivia needs proper nutrients during the growing period, and fertilizer is usually added once a month. Generally, special fertilizers for succulents are chosen, but diluted compound fertilizers can also be used.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Division: Olivia grows easily in groups. When repotting it, you can remove the sub-plants growing around it and plant them in new pots for maintenance.

2. Leaf cuttings: Olivia can be propagated by leaf cuttings. Cut a complete leaf, spread it flat on the surface of the sand, and wait for it to take root before planting.

3. Pest and disease control

During the growth process of Olivia, it is difficult to survive the summer. Good ventilation is needed to prevent the plant from being exposed to the sun. At the same time, don't water too much. A high temperature and high humidity environment can easily cause black rot of the plants, so be sure to pay attention to reducing humidity.
