Silhouette Succulent is a classic succulent plant . The plant is compact, just like a rose , and the leaves will slowly turn red. It is very easy to bloom and it is very good to make it into an old stump. It is suitable for novice flower lovers to maintain. So how to grow Silhouette Succulent? Let’s take a look below.

1. Soil

Silhouette has high requirements for soil. The soil used must be loose, breathable, and permeable to water, and it is best to have a certain degree of fertility. It is recommended to buy special soil for succulents. If planted in the ground, the soil needs to be turned over in advance and granular soil mixed into the soil to improve the soil's air and water permeability.

2. Lighting

Most succulent varieties are very light-loving, and they will look more beautiful with sufficient light. In spring, autumn and winter, you can place it in a well-lit place and get more sun. The light is very soft and you don’t have to worry about sunburn. However, it needs to be shaded in time in summer as the light is too strong, otherwise the leaves will easily be sunburned. If kept in a dark environment for a long time, it will affect the growth and succulents will easily grow too tall.

3. Watering

Succulent plants contain a lot of water and are drought-resistant. They do not need to be watered frequently during maintenance, but the amount of water must be well controlled. If you water too frequently or the amount of water is too large, root rot is likely to occur. It is recommended to replenish water when the soil is dry and replenish water when the soil is wet. It is also recommended to water the soil when the soil is completely dry, and water it thoroughly each time. If it is in the dormant period, you need to strictly control water and keep the soil slightly dry overall.

4. Temperature

Succulent plants prefer a warm environment, and their tolerance to high temperatures and cold is not high, so the temperature must be well controlled during cultivation. The suitable temperature for their growth is between 15~25℃. When the temperature exceeds 28℃ in summer, ventilation should be strengthened and strong light should be blocked in time. In winter, it must be moved indoors, and the temperature should be controlled above 10℃, and the minimum should not be lower than 5℃, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite.

5. Notes

There are two main aspects to pay attention to when growing succulents. The first is the ventilation issue. Succulents must be kept in a well-ventilated environment, and windows must be opened frequently for ventilation when grown indoors. The second is the issue of disease and pest control. Once disease and pest conditions are discovered, pesticides should be sprayed in a timely manner to treat them.
