Introduction of Succulents

1. Appearance

The leaves of succulents are generally very full and the plant shape is also very compact, so the plant looks very small. If it is maintained as an old stump, the plant will become larger. It has many varieties, including Aizoaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Cactaceae, etc.

2. Habits Introduction

1. Like looseness: Succulents like to grow in a loose substrate, so the air permeability of the soil must be good during cultivation.

2. Likes sunlight: Since there are many varieties of succulents, the degree to which they like sunlight varies. Most succulents prefer sufficient light and need at least 3-4 hours of light a day, while some species need 6-8 hours of light.

3. Likes moisture: Although succulents like a humid environment, they should not be watered too much. Watering should be done when the soil is dry and when the soil is wet. The humidity of the soil should not be too high and should be kept slightly moist as much as possible.

3. Other Introduction

Some succulents will still bloom, but it is rare. They consume more nutrients when blooming, so sometimes flower lovers will cut off their flower stems when they bloom. Some species will die after flowering, such as the genera of Crassulaceae and Sedum.
